You are forever in our hearts.  Your Condor waterfall still flows in the high desert.  The native american petroglyphs a thousand years old sit not far away amongst the blue sage. 

Nikki we miss you.  A year ago in June your dad came to visit. He loves trained so we rode a steam engine in Ely. I took him to see your waterfall in Condor Canyon where your spirit thrives. Love you

Nikki, I still think of you often and I'm very fond of all of the fun memories we shared.  I wish there could have been more.  I'm sending love and good vibes to your family and friends 

Nikki,
Rest now the pain is gone but take peace in the fact that you touched so many people in such a positive way  that you will never be truly gone. Love you little sis!


I met Nicole about 10 years ago, because she helped me with my puppy Neumann back when I was a single mom - while I was at work - when I used to work on base all day.  We instantly became friends and she became part of our family - since she stopped by every day!  She was the sweetest and would leave little notes and treats - or just play games with the kids by setting up their toys in a funny way.  She always tried to make us smile.

 I was so blessed to have her in my life for 10 years - and to eventually have her come help me out at my house once a week for a few hours - while I was working from home.  I was so blessed to be able to spend a few hours with her each Tuesday afternoon.  While we worked, we would talk about everything!  Our pets, jobs, families, spirituality, politics, essential oils, LulaRoe, vacations, yoga/Zumba - you name it!  I will forever miss those talks and her smiling face coming through the door.  She became one of my closest friends and our whole family will forever love and keep her in our hearts. 



Nicole, It was my privilege to know you.  Namaste friend.  Prayers for your family.

I never wanted to believe this was coming so I know I didn't see you as often as I could have, maybe thinking it would make it less real. I will always remember Hilton Head, golf, nigjts out, game nights and your generous loving spirit. I will miss you calling me Sis because you love like a sister. You were always the truest of friends, even when we went months without seeing each other.  I know you have a dog biscuit tucked in your bra for our Clifford. I miss you dear friend.

The first time I met you we were walking into the Ohio State Fair  on our way to see Melissa Etheridge perform. Though it was the first time we met I’d been hearing about you for years from JJ  and I was excited to meet the infamous Nik! As we passed through security and the metal detectors you did something I will never forget- you reached into your sundress and from your boobs pulled out a knife. I didn’t know how to react. First, how did you get through security without setting off an alarm? Second, who just whips a knife out of their boobs at the fair! This memory is followed by many others, all of which include hysterical laughter. You were one of a kind my friend. Love you always!

I'm trying hard to remember the first time I met you but, it seems you have always been a part of my life.  I can't remember a time I was with you that wasn't full of fun and laughter.  You were such a different spirit, always happy and forever infectious.  I thank you so much for taking care of my Frankie whenever I was traveling and leaving us surprises with the beanie babies (yep, that's an inside joke).  I will keep Ty in my prayers and promise to bug him sometimes as I love him just as much.  I will miss and love you forever.  And to you....Namaste.

My Sis, wow I miss you already so much!! Our friendship was instant!!! She made me smile, we laughed at the same silly stuff, we acted like we could sing some funk in the car and then would just bust out laughing because we stunk at it.  We had our favorite music on the way to the golf course that we played to get us pumped up!! Gail Holland and I played a lot of golf with Nikki and our time was so fun together!!! My memories our close to my heart and I will never forget you my friend. You touched my heart forever!! Till me meet again. Give Tara a big hug for me!!! RIH Sis!! Miss your face!!! 

Nikki, where do I start.  Full of energy, always speaking her mind, standing up for herself and others and loving animals with all her heart.  She always referred to me as Uncle Tim and Deb as Auntie Deb.  Whatever she did she threw her all into.  She came to visit us in Panaca, Nevada a few years back.  Her and Ty.  She loved the desert here and enjoyed our explorations together.  She loved the waterfall in Condor Canyon and the Native American Petroglyphs near by.  My memories will be the times we spent here together.  Love you forever Nik....

I met Nikki at Sebastian Hills Golf course. She and Teri Rockhold wanted a quick lesson before their first round of night golf. We became instant friends and remained that way till the end. I loved  our time on the course! That’s when we had our most fun and conversation. I loved to feed her!  Lol. I’ll miss her till I meet her again. 

I met Nikki at the Elks several years  ago in Xenia. Beautiful woman inside and out. Always smiling and full of  joy.  I've never met anyone like her. Sad to hear of her passing but I know she fought hard.

Nikki and I met in 1986 or ‘87 amd quickly became friends. Nikki was always so much fun, with a quick smile and a warm heart. We had so many good times together.  I moved back to Ireland in 1988 and we lost touch until Facebook reunited us a few years ago. I’ll always remember Nikki as that fun loving 14 year old. God speed, my friend. Sincere condolences to her family. 

Nikki was a
beautiful soul with a heart full of love.    She was a member of Xenia Elks #668.  When my husband and I first joined the Elks about four and a half years ago, she was one of the first people to extend a most welcoming hand to us.   Her smile would light up a room and I always looked forward to seeing her.   I will miss this beautiful person.  My heart goes out to you Tyrone.

I loved Nikki with all my heart.  I will miss her until we meet again.  She was fun, loved animals, laughed at goats, and loved ferociously.  We love you family and our hearts hurt with yours.  We never say goodbye.  

She exhibited great courage in her fight against Cancer and her other health issues. She  had a beautiful smile, a bubbly personality and a joy to watch grow up. She will be missed. Prayers to  Tyrone, Jo, Tom, Scott, Jeff and her extended family. 
 With love,  The Reid’s, Dave and Marilyn, David and Stefanie, and Nelson and Anne.
