This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to hear. Nicole was one of my dear friends. I am so deeply shocked and saddened by her passing. She was so sweet, kind, caring, and joyful. I had the pleasure of spending my senior year and my first job experience with her and she truly made both of those things so much more bearable. She was all of the kids' favorite at work because she was so great with them and they knew she really cared about them. I extend my prayers to her family and her other friends in this extremely difficult time.

Working with Nichole was a privilege. Her sunny disposition was contagious, and she never failed to make me smile. I am blessed to have known her, may she rest in peace.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." - John 14:1-3 Word cannot express how much Nicole's passing saddens all of us. She had a wonderful spirit and an infectious enthusiasm that touched all who knew her. Todd, Denise, and Zach our prayers are with you during this sorrowful time. God Bless you all, Daniel Lopez
