My love and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Dad/Nick was a gentle man who loved his family and is loved very much. It’s hard to believe that he’s gone… I’ll miss his phone calls, his patience and encouragement and hard-to beat game playing tactics (especially Sequence game)! My heart goes out to Les, his sisters and all his children/grandchildren…. but we all know that he is resting now, in heaven; his sweet reward.
To Nick’s Family: As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the following Bible verse, John 11: 11 where Jesus said: ..Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep. Please also find comfort in knowing that our Almighty Heavenly Father holds out the hope of the resurrection and the ability to see our loved ones again.
Our familys thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
