So sorry to learn of Nick's death. May you, Joyce and the rest of the family, experience peace that only God can give as you work through this time in your lives.

— Larry Baker

May the God of all comforts comfort you all, Joyce. Love to you and your family and many prayers, Jacki Lynn and Bill

— Jaclynn DeKuiper

His race is run, his battle won, his life now begun. Yet, with the finish, the victory and the beginning there is left such a gaping gulf, a pit of grief so deep, the conflict of longing and gratitude for release. Praying that each heart that loved and life that needed Nick will be filled by a generous outpouring of the peace and comfort that is a gift from Father God.

— Faith Heidsma
