My heart felt sympathy goes out to all of Nick's family with love and prayers. I remember Nick fondly when I had him as a 6 th grade student in CCD. He sat in the first row, always with a shy smile on his face and his hand was always up in class ready to give an answer. I loved having him in my class! With love, hugs and prayers, Rosemary V.
