Cathy and family:I remember the day that Nick finally received word of his transplant and both you and your husband were interviewed on T.V.How happy you were about the news.
That day, I decided would donate my organs so that someone else would get a second chance.
I will light candles every so often at a chapel and will have Nick's name among my family members in my prayers.Be strong and be proud of Nick because I do believe he made a differnce as he opened some people's eyes to organ donations.With all my love and condolences.Joan Lazurek(DKG member Beta chapter)

Nick was one of the good ones.
We shared many a laugh during the Transplant Games. My deepest thoughts go out to all of Nick's family and friends at this time.

To the Family

My My taughts and prayers are with you today and will pray for peace and strength for each of you. May you find comfort in God's love.

God bless

Dear Cathy and family,
Our thoughts are with you... we just found out about Nick's passing through Heather Bishop.  We have very fond memories of Nick at the transplant games in London, ON in 2005 and in Edmonton in 2006. We had so much fun playing volleyball, and getting to know Nick during the games in London.  We will always remember Nick - such a kind, caring, young man. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Cathy and family,
Just heard the news of the loss of your son.  My deepest sympathy and support from afar during this time of grieving. I had only brief contact with Nick at Abbott but know he was a wonderful young man who lived his short time here to the fullest. May all the happy memories his life created sustain you in the years to come.

Dear Cathy, Alex and Alexandra,

Recently retired from John Abbott, I just learned yesterday of Nick's passing . My husband Harry and I send you our deepest sympathies at this most difficult of times. 

Marie Murphy

Alex, I remember you well - this is Ronnie Sundick, Paul's brother.  I was deeply shocked and certainly saddned to read the news about your son's passing.  I have fond memories of you when I was at camp, and knowing and remembering you as a role model for your children, I'm sure your son was supported by a wonderful family during his abruptly shortened life.  Please know that my thoughts are with you, as you get through the most difficult time.  Fondly, Ronnie Sundick

Dear Cathy and family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies in your time of great sorrow...may Nicholas rest in peace.

Dear Sidorenko family, I am also a heart transplant recipient and had the pleasure to meet Nick at the World Transplant Games. Being recipients, there was an instant bond. During our time together at the games, we shared with each other our own unique experience, the medications, etc.. In a short week, a small group of us became a family. My wife and I will miss Nick dearly. He had such a wonderful personality. We want to express our deepest sympathies for your loss. We will always remember him.

Dear Cathy, Alex and Alexandra

Our hearts ache for all of you during this time of deep sorrow. You are constantly in our thoughts and in our prayers. My sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and David Kent have always spoken so highly of Nicolas that we felt like he was our friend too. Your loss has touched all of us.

To Alex and Cathy:
My wife, Lise, and I would like to express our deepest sympathies for your great loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I knew Nick for a very short time. Met him this year on Valentines at the party that he threw at his cottage. But I'm greatful even for the short time we got to spend together as I learnt so much from him (love for life being being one). You had a great son, brother, uncle, friend. He will forever have a special place in my heart and for that I thank you.

My sincerest condolences.

Dear Sidorenko family,

My condolences to your family. I was fortunate to encounter Nick as a student nurse in the cardiac care unit at the RVH & later as a nurse on surgical 8 east.  Nicholas' courage and strength was tremendous.  May he rest in peace.

To Alex Cathy Alexandra and all extended family members and friends of Nick and the Sidorenkos our most deep condolences .....

Dearest Alex, Cathy, and Alexandra,

It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Nick. We all had the opportunity to witness his joie de vivre in his spite of his physical condition which didn't prevent him to fully bite into life. I've also had the great joy to coach him in the John Abbott summer bball league. What a joy to spend a summer with this great person. Maybe we didn't win the whole thing, but sure had a great time!

He will be sorely missed, his courage and kindness will be remembered, and you are all in our hearts.

With much love,
