Whenever I saw Nikki she was all smiles! Her smile, spirit and loving personality was always contagious. She was our cheer coach and my daughter Grace loved her more than anything. I am so happy to say that she was my friend and thankful that my family got to know her and be blessed with her in our life. Thank you Nikki for everything. I will hold you in my heart forever and know that you are looking down and watching over us.
