Dear Mosterts,
I am very sorry for your loss. when i first heard i couldn't contain my tears and still have a hard time. I knew your son through work, he would bring in the deposit for his job. Talking to him was one of my favorite parts of the day. He had such a bright and open smile..it always made me feel better. He's such a genuine human which is hard to find. I very much adored him and will continue too. I cant imagine how you're feeling, i just hope you find comfort knowing that he has touched my life and so many others.

Dears Mosterts,
My family and I are so sorry for the loss of your son and brother. Nick was a friend to me; we met last spring in a communication class. Our views were much closed, since then we became good friends. The last time I met Nick was on Saturday night June o6, 2009. I picked him up around 10pm we drove all over Salt Lake City downtown and spent much time that night at grove Memories Park talking much about the upcoming school semester, euro trip and his Northwestern trip he took by train.
On Friday June 12, 2009 he called me saying that he is out town with friends and family and will be back the next week. I wished him well while in vacations knowing he needed some time with his family after all sadness he was going through since he got back from his trip.
I am heartbroken and sad about his passing. It was hard for my family and has been very difficult for me since I have learned about his dead. I can?t sleep at night and unable to eat well. I felt like I was guilty in some way or responsible at some level, maybe I didn?t listen to him enough, or maybe I didn?t make enough time to talk to him when he needed me because he always felt much better talking to me he said. I can?t stop asking myself what I have done wrong. First I didn?t believe it and convinced myself that it couldn?t be true at all. I am so hurt and can?t contained my emotions.
I am finding comfort into the life he lived, his goals and desires instead. Especially when I think about the time we spent discussing our political views and his desires to heal the world and make it the better place for future generations. His plans and goals to build gardens communities those would include trax stations, residential complex, medical center and businesses. I even remember a day when getting off the trax at 4400th South station in Murray he saw land for sale and said ?if I had the money I was going to buy this place and build a living community and business just next to this station. So people can live much closer to everything and drive less?. Nick loved people from all different backgrounds, he accepted people regardless of your background. Nick wasn?t judgmental like most of the people of Utah. He was so smart, sensitive and compassionate person who cared for others. Nick is my inspiration to heal this earth makes it a better place.
I can't find words to express your loss, the pain you are going through. I can imagine that your life may not be the same, but please find some comfort in knowing that so many people care about you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
May your soul find peace, RIP I love you Nick.
I am so sorry.
A friend and his family

Dear Mike, Kathy, Ted and Molly,
During this tragic time of Nick's departure, we want to encourage you in the Lord. Our prayer for you is that you will find rest in His strength. Christ has an unexplainable provision in taking us through the tragedies of life when we turn totally to Him.
Mat 11:28 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
Mat 11:30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
In Christ,
Alan, Julie, Danielle and Rachel

To the family of Nick- I am sooo very sorry of your loss and the talent Nick had. However, though we cannot understand this tragedy, God knew all about it- and my prayer is that his memory will remain with us and we try our best to help other young adults to cope with lifes trials and testings.
Without God's help we will fail, but He is always there to console and encourage us to do the best we can with His divine help.
With heart felt sympathy, may our Lord's peace rest on each of you!

I can not express my feelings. I am sorry for your loss but those words seem empty now. You have lost a Son, me a friend, the world a philosopher. His ideas about his mind and the world were so incredible beautiful only he could find the words. I never had the pleasure to here nick's songs but I did get to share in many intense disscuss. I only knew him for the short time of 2 1/2 years. But i will forever hold him in my heart and everything he has taught me or wisdom he has shared, i will carry with me.
-kenzie sayes(hook)
p.s. maybe you could publish his journals. share his beautiful wise words with the world.

Kathy and Family,
It's difficult to know what to say at a time like this. Losing a loved one is difficult enough, but losing a child so young, this way, just increases the heartbreak. Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of Nick.

Dear Kathy and Molly and Ted, I am so deeply sorry for the pain you must be feeling. I did not know your son as i know you, Kathy, but the article about his life makes me wish I did know him. I love the picture of him. There are no words to say other than I love you and I pray God comforts you through all of your family and friends. I wish I could be there to hug you and cry with you.

Dear Kathy,
We are so very sorry for the loss of your son. We pray God will help you as
you suffer through the rest of your days. That he will give you the strength and the friendship to lift you up when your grief becomes unbearably heavy. Ten years ago we lost a beautiful much loved son. He did not chose to leave, he was taken by a short, violent illness. It doesn't matter how they go, you still question why and wonder if you could have done something to change it. Please know that we love and care about you. Nothing we can say will take your pain away, but we are here for you if you feel like talking, or if you need help. We pray God will comfort you and help you adjust to this grievous change in your life. You know where to find us.

Kathy Molly and Ted I am so sorry for the heartache you are feeling. My son went to Skyline and he chose to leave this earth also a year and a half ago. I am so glad to see that you are respecting his decision and not hiding his choice. It is the most difficult thing you will ever go through. It will be a life-long process of healing that I hope will be filed with life and gifts of Nick that only he can give to your family.
He is in the embrace of God and in a place full of love and peace.

I am sorry for you're loss.
I first met nick back in elemantary school at eastwood, we quickly became very close friends and spent a lot of time together. In fact I can recall a lot late nights spent up at your house, always getting into trouble. Nick was a truly gifted person, I looked up to him a lot and his ability to make anybody smile and laugh.
I will miss him deeply. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss.

I would just like to first say, how very sorry I am for your loss. I didn't know your loved one. I would also like to say that I feel you are making a huge difference in the lives of others when you mentioned he took his own life. Often, when reading the obituaries, there is no cause of death mentioned, when it is a young person. I believe that your mention of it is a help to other's suffering. Maybe through your loss and pain it will prompt someone to get help, talk to someone, realize the severity of their problems, reach out to others. I want to thank you, because through your unselfishness, of sharing yourself this way, I believe you are touching lives, lives you don't even know you are reaching out to, randomly, and making a difference. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

I only knew nick for a short time, but in that time I was always impressed by his intelligence, the passion he had when he spoke about politics and his sense of humor. He always had a smile for me when I saw him, and I was very sorry to hear he was gone. My sympathies go to his family and close friends, nothing can soften a loss like this.

I am truly sorry for your loss. If I can do anything, please let me know. Love, Candy Pace

To The Mostert Family,
It seems like only yesterday I had your children in my sixth grade classroom. I was saddened to learn of Nick's death, may you find peace in knowing you gave him a good life, and may the good memories carry you forward.

P.S. Mark asked about Ted, as it seems they have lost touch. He referred to him a "Big Ted". God's grace, Ted, from Mark.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Although I had known Nick for only a few brief months as a roommate, I had considered him to be a good friend and colleague in his search for knowledge and his passion for music. He will be dearly missed by everyone who has known him.

Kathy, So sorry to hear of your loss. Having lost a son of my own through his own choice just five years ago, my heart breaks thinking that someone else is going through the same thing. These sweet boys are in God's care now, where they can heal from all the earthly trials they had to go through. Now we need to heal. God bless and comfort your family at this time. Love from Carol Nelson (Hartvigsen).

I did not know your beautiful son, but I know what you are going through. I lost my only brother last May when he chose to took take his own life. Our lives have never been the same. I just wish you the strength that you will need to get through this. There will come a time when you will be able to think of your loved one and actually smile and remember the good times. Please know people are praying for you and things will get better.

I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling. I hope you can find a piece of comfort knowing that Nick is in a better place now. While I never knew Nick well, his kind and gentle spirit was evident just being in a room with him. I saw his love of music shine through; every time I saw him he had a guitar in his hands. I know he will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives he touched. My deepest sympathies go out to you.

Dear Mr. And Mrs. Mostert,
There are no words to tell you how sorry we are about your loss. My young Sahra is beside herself. Your son was very special to her, and we all feel for your family as they struggle to deal with such a tremendous, not to mention traumatic, loss. If there is anything our family can do to help you through this difficult time, please do not hesitate to call on us. We are saying prayers for you, and I know in my heart that open arms embraced him in that final moment, and welcomed him home to a bright light, where he can heal and find peace, love, and acceptance.
Sincerely,
Sahra Grosser's aunt Janine

Kathy, Molly, and Ted, I am SO SORRY you are having to go through this. When my only sibling took his life at the age of 24, we were devastated. Remember the sadness in my father's face? Our lives were never the same. Know that I am just across the street and will be keeping you in my prayers and kindest thoughts. In addition to what Maia so beautifully expressed, I would also add, "And may you feel the tender, watchful care of our Heavenly Father during this hard, hard time." During those sleepless hours of the night and when those waves of fresh grief ambush you at any time, may you be comforted by a certain knowledge that Nick is in the unconditionally loving embrace of God and that He will take good care of him until you can be with him again.
P.S. There's so much we don't understand in this life; be gentle with yourselves.
