I am so sad to see such a beautiful young woman has passed from this earth - Nicole was a ray of sunshine in our interior design classes and she will be missed by all of her KCAD family. Sending you all good thoughts for happy memories of a wonderful person.  

Please accept the heartfelt sympathies of the entire Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University (KCAD) community. Nicole is well remembered by faculty and staff alike and as a college community we are honored that we were able to be part of her journey and deeply saddened by the loss of one of our alumnae.

Dear Greenman family,

It is with a heavy heart that I leave this message wishing my friend, Nicole, farewell. She was such a joy and a pleasure to work with at Progressive AE. We sat near each other in the office at one point so our conversations and shenanigans could be eye rolling-ly funny.

I'll miss her quiet, calm, and self-assurance in God, and her warm smile. It was a pleasure knowing her. May you be comforted that she brought many people an abundance of joy while she graced this earth.

May God richly bless you for raising such a wonderful young woman.

A true angel. Our deepest sympathies and all our love during this difficult time.

Ken & family,

So sorry for your family's incredible loss.  Words just can't do justice for what I want to say & the comfort I'd like to give.  Hold tight to knowing that Nicole is in God's care and cherish the time that your family was blessed to have her.  Praying for all of you.  

Nicole was in my drama class when I was in 9th grade and she was a senior. I will always remember her as one of the kindest, brightest, most genuine people I met back then! Sending her family love in this difficult time. 

In the brief time Nicole and I worked together I could tell she was a special bright light. We never met in person and only worked together remotely but she was someone I knew I wanted to be friends with right off the bat. We had a lot in common through being the same age, faith, Michigan summers and family values. I loved our fun chit chats. A few months ago while cleaning out my phone I stumbled upon text messages with her about how silly AutoCAD was being on a project we were working on. They made me chuckle! She was a talented designer and never backed down from a challenge (as seen too with her long fight against this). She is so strong and such an inspiration in too many ways to count. 

God gained a beautiful angel on Christmas Day. Keeping Nicole and the Greenman family in our prayers and sending much love always ❤️ 

Ken, I was saddened to hear of your loss, I haven’t been able to talk to you since I left SC and I just saw this post, I can’t even imagine this kind of loss but I know that she is with our Savior now and that gives you comfort we will continue to pray for your family.

I know Nicole through Chelsea! They were BFFs all the way through their time in school at Kendal Design.  I am so grateful for the moments we shared together. These girls had a bond like non-other. They shared many great travels abroad and domestic… sometimes doing things I would never dream of, like road tripping to TC with no itinerary and no hotel reservation for the weekend. These wild gals know how to squeeze all the juice of this life!!  I know that a giant void will be felt by everyone who knew this Angel. Luckily, these precious memories will be accessible whenever they remember all the special trips and times together. R.I.P. Miss Nicole. You will always be remembered as a light that shined so bright!! 

So much life ahead of this bunch! Many great friendships made. I pray for all those grieving Nicole’s loss.  She was a God-Send! 

Ken, Sue and family,
I was very saddened to hear about the loss of Nicole.  I never met her, but everything I have been reading lets me know she was an amazing person in so many ways.  Her life, love and faith in Jesus, were and are obviously a great inspiration and blessing to many; the small glimpse into her faith actually made me smile, she is healed! 
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Nicole was the kindest and sweetest person I ever met.  I am sure everyone who ever met her immediately fell in love with her.  I know I did!  She will certainly be missed by all whose lives she touched.  My sincere sympathy goes out to the entire Greenman family.  I cannot begin to imagine the immense heartbreak you must be experiencing.

Heaven really gained a good one. Nicole I will always cherish the memories we had together. My condolences to the entire Greenman family 💕

I never knew Nicole personally.  I came in as a prayer warrior for Nicole after Ginger Weemhoff asked if I’d like to pray for her.
This beautiful young woman blessed me on her journey through her battle with cancer!!
She faced every victory and every struggle with such positivity and faith.  I am forever changed as well as her family.  
The picture above represents to me Nicole’s meeting of Jesus in heaven.   It blessed me.  I hope it blesses all of you too.

Greenman Family -
I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole and her friend Chelsea when I was traveling abroad with my 3 best friends in Europe. We happened to run into two nice blonde American girls who were seeking a place for breakfast. We figured why not team up and grab a bite. 

We had a great breakfast right on the water in Cinque Terre with Nicole and Chelsea then had a great day at the beach with them. 

We went on our separate ways as our trips were taking us in different directions but  remained connected on social media. While I hadn’t spoken to Nicole since we met on our “eurotrips”, I was inspired by her courage and positive strength as she fought her battle with cancer. It was apparent, she was stronger than most and had the most positive attitude. She was admirable. 

I’ll never forget the trip and the life long impression Nicole will have on me.  

I wish you all the best and send my condolences.

Words cannot describe how blessed we were to experience your love and light. I rejoice in knowing you are eternally safe, but promise to keep your memory alive with cancer research and doggy donations in your honor. With Love, Jasmine Hanley Roman 

So sorry to hear of Nicole’s passing. She was one of the most sweetest, caring, loving, hard working person I have ever known. I will miss her a lot. May you Rest In Peace Nicole. If it wasn’t for “Sadie Hirdes” we might never have gotten to know each as well as we did, related or not.........we will always be friends.

My sincere sympathies to the Greenman Family. I had the honor of getting to know Nicole while I worked at Progressive AE. She was such a warm, friendly and funny young woman. I even entertained the idea of introducing her to my son. She truly was an amazing young woman. While her loss to us physically is painful, I know her spirit will live in those she touched. She is no longer in pain or suffering and is in her glory with our Heavenly Father.

I'm so sorry to hear of Nicole's passing. I had the pleasure of working with her at Steak N Shake. She was sweet and caring. She could brighten anyone's day with her smile. So brave and young. My condolences  to her family and friends. 

So sorry to hear about Nicole's passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family.  So sorry Big Jake!  She was a beautiful girl inside and out.  
Love,
Joyce Hill

Nicole's Family, 

My heart aches for your loss. I worked with Nicole during her time at Progressive AE. She was like a daughter to me (although she told some of the others I was like a grandma). She reminded me of one of my daughters, both in her looks and her sweetness. 

Her faith was amazing, we can all learn from her and her journey. She has left many that loved her like a sister, daughter, granddaughter,  etc. that were not related to her. Please know you are not alone in this journey, we all in it with you. 

Love, Rose
