I went to school with Nick’s mother, Cecilia. “I am so sorry. What a terrible tragedy. I have remembered him at Mass and will keep him in my prayers. May God uphold the family during this difficult time.”
My heart is broken for the family. I cannot imagine. I know he is with Jesus, and I will pray for the family.
Nick…you now have the freedom to fly. You will live through us forever. Your spiritm soulm and love will be in our hearts for an eternity. You have taught us that it’s not about what you aquire through this lifetime; its about who you become along the way. May we all adopt your love for life, laughter, adventure, and compassion for others. We will see you again.
