Bill,
I can tell you and Nicola shared a love together that empowered you both to live life to the fullest. I wish I could have gotten to know her. I feel like I can see a glimpse of her through you and and I can tell she was very special.
BBB, what I am so proud of you for is this: you experienced and supported all what Nicola had to go through with her journey with cancer. After she left you physically, you have continued to offer your support to so many of us here at HER2 and all done with such compassion, kindness and positive energy.
I could not agree more with Jean when she said, "Nicola was a very loved woman by a very special man".
Muchas Alohas my dear friend,
Maryanne
