Not a day, nor minute goes by without me thinking of you. Tomorrow, Madison, gets married, unfortunately, we won’t be there. She, was really looking forward to your attendance. Nevertheless, I know you will be there as she walks down the aisle! Ever watching, ever seeing. However, you shared a sacred bond, that of brother and sister, so, on that day your are missed!

Today, family and friends gathered to see Nicholas! A group Formed a Nike, tribute for him arriving before visitation, I must say he was loved, and respected by so many! I warms my broken hear, Herman Miller, stood down, for so many of his coworkers to visit! Forever, I am in their debt! It’s still hard to imagine tomorrow. Find with doubt, and the vast emptiness that fills our hearts. Perhaps, we should remember Nicholas, as he is, a free spirit! Loving everyone, exploring everything, taking his time to love so many! He will, be missed! How do I know this, so many tonight told me!

Iwas shocked and saddened to hear the news... Worked with Nick for a short time at Haworth in Holland... Great personality and sense of humor. Losing Nick so young -TRAGIC! Leaving behind his own child so young... UNBELIEVABLY TRAGIC! I'm praying for ALL of his family and friends- and of course- his precious daughter.
