My dear Aunt Rae and cousins, I know this is a difficult time my heart goes out to you all but I also know God will see you through. Fortunately I did get to spend time with Nicky when we were young and will always remember his adorable smile and "devilish" sense of humor. Much love and prayers, Chell

To: Joni I am so sorry to read that Nick lost his battle. It made me smile to see his pic. When we were teens, Nick was the ultimate hippie to me! He was such a wild thing! Our double dates were something to remember! When I see an "antique" 442, I go back to those days. Geez, we had fun! Joni, I know this is a tough time for you and I want you to know that you are in my prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss. Love, Jeanie
