-Mittler family-

I'm so sorry about your loss. Nick and I became really good friends last year in our Auto class, and we talked on the internet all the time. We always planned on hanging out, but it never went through. I wish I could have hungout with him, but at least I talked to him all the time. You are in my prayers, and I promise you I will never forget your amazing son Nick.

Dear Mittler Family

I am so very sorry that I did not make it to the wake. The only memories I have of Nick are of when he was very young and time goes by so fast. I remember hanging around with Michelle while Nick and Leah would run around and play games. I have not talked to Michelle in quite a while but I want you all to know that since I have recently lost my sister I feel your pain and you are in my prayers, if any of you ever feel you need someone to talk to you can call me. There really is nothing to say to someone who has lost a child or a sibling especially when they are so young, but all I can say is stay strong and remember that that person is always watching over you and will always be there in your heart.

Mittler Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Nick was a great friend and I'm sure he was a loving son and brother. Anytime I saw him he had a smile on his face and everytime I heard him he was laughing. The classes that I got to have with him were fun and I will never forget him. Nick is in all of our thoughts and hearts.

I know that Nick's death came as a shock to all of us. I still have trouble believing it. To the Mittler family, I am very sorry about your loss, though, it wasn't just your loss. Nick had lots of friends and they, like me, miss him very dearly. We want him back just like you do.

Dearest Mittler Family...

Wow....this is really hard to believe. My name is Chris and I've known Nick or known of him since 6th grade. I went to Grimmer with him and was able to make it to the wake last night after PM Auto. I cannot begin to tell you the sorrow and sadness I feel for your family. Nick was in my intro auto class last year. This was the first year that we ever really talked. Being with him in class was a special feeling. He was always smiling and always making people laugh. But on behalf of every A.M. and P.M.Vocational Auto Student and Mr. Brannock we say god bless you in this time of tragedy and godspeed to Nick. We all loved him....and unfortunately we all have to move on without him. We're all going to miss you Nick. My family sends their love and sympathy.....Thanks for the laughs Nick.



With love,



Chris Carrington

To the family of Nick Mitler,

I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. My heart goes out to you and your family. Also may your daughter and Saundra recover quickly. I did not know your son but my son Bryan knew him and several of Bryan's freinds did including Ricky. They have been to the scene several times and we are all praying for your family. May God help you through this horrible tragedy. All of the children are consumed with this tragedy. It hurts them all to see such a young life taken away. One of there own. It hits them hard because this is not suppose to happen. Take one step at a time. Pray for courage and strength. Rely on your family and freinds. Dust yourself off after this fall and get back up. Do it for Nick. Fill your life with love, Nick will be in your heart forever and watch over you all.

May God bless you and see you through.



Sincerely,

Joyce Buikema

Mittlers:

My name is katie, and i knew Nick from school. I was never great friends with him, but still I knew him, and i'm going to miss him alot. All of my friends said the same thing about Nick: We all expected him to come in on the first day of school grinning, like he always was, and say it was just a joke, he's fine. But I guess in a way he is, he's in heaven. And never forget that one day you'll see him again, so it's not goodbye, just "see you later"! I'm sorry that I can't be there for the funeral, I live in Texas now, and I can't get back soon enough. I send my love to your family, and hope that you know that their are alot of people who loved your son, and always will. Love, Katie Hagenseker
