Nikky was the brightest shining star in so many people's lives, who saw a day spent with family and friends as the greatest prize. She touched the lives of many with her inspirational words and cared for everyone she knew whether they were jocks or nerds. Her selfless spirit will live on in our hearts and minds because angels like her are rare and so hard to find. Everyone loves you with all their hearts because we all know that humanity has lost one of its most important parts. Like a human's organs that allow a person to live, humanity needs strength, love, hope, happiness, and the ability to give. Nikky embodied each and every one of these essential human traits, regardless of the time or the date. We all knew of the pain and suffering she endured, but she never let any of this cause her goals to become obscured. Those of us who knew her best, may never lose this deep pain and sorrow that dwells deep in our chest. Instead of going day by day feeling sad for our loss, lets live our lives in honor of the beautiful young woman that inspired us all in her own way.
