To Gertie and Family:
When we lose someone we love; it is easy to lose our faith. But at this time, more than any other, we must trust that God is watching over us. May your memories of the love you shared comfort you in this difficult time. "Nick" was a fine person and will be fondly remembered for the times we worked together at Tulane.

Mrs. Nicholas and Family,
I will always remember Deacon Nicholas as one of the finest Christian gentlemen that I have ever been blessed to know. God bless you as you adjust to his not being here with you, but be assured that he is in Our Father's House.
