Thanks again, Mary Anne. The support here that I've gotten from you all is overwhelming. Words cannot convey how much it means to me that you all loved her so much. She truly was an angel among us. Love, Bill

Bill, I just went back into the archives and found Al's post showing some of Nicola's art, and re-read some of her thoughts about life, cancer and her best friend (you). You really did share your life with an angel on earth. I think she thought the same of you.

Blessings on you and your family this Christmas season, although I know it will be bittersweet. You have the peace of knowing she's at rest.

<3 Lolly

Thank you Lolly, and all the rest of you who have offerred such sweet words of support to me. Yes, Nikki and I felt truly blessed to be together. She was so talented in so many ways, a woodcarver, painter, a poet, an excellent writer, I taught her to play chess (I've played over 2000 games and won most) and in no time she was beating me 2 games out of 3, lol. Everything she did seemed to be inspired. I miss her terribly, but we agreed that we were fortunate to be together and that I was able to be here with her every day for the last 5 months she was here. I could go on and on about how wonderful and sweet she was, but you all knew her almost as well as I did. She loved you all. Please have a Merry Christmas! Love, Bill
