Shawn and Sherry, Zachary and Joshua, and beloved Grandparents...we wish to convey our condolences to your family at the passing of Nicholas from our midst. His intelligence and charm and bold assertion of independence were noticed and admired by the children and adults of ERUCC. Shawn and Sherry, as parents, we marveled at your tenacity in bringing your 3 boys here to ERUCC to share in worship. Sharing time with Nicholas' has been a source of inspiration and we have been blessed by his indomitable spirit.

We are so saddened by your loss of Nicholas. He was a very special young man, loved by not only his family, but also many others. Nicholas was very fortunate to have such special, loving care by all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Dan and I are so sorry we were late for the service. I misread the obituary.

Please accept our condolences and that of our ten year-old daughter, Sarah Gilbert. Nicholas was a few years ahead of Sarah at Cannon Road Elementary School. She adored Nicholas and loved when he would come and visit the younger kids in the AAC program classroom. Her face would light up to see him. He was there the day we took our tour of Cannon Road and remained a special favorite of hers during her years there. Nicholas was a special boy with a generous and caring heart. Our family is holding you in the light during this difficult time of grief. Regards, the Gilbert Family.
