A friend of Nichole's wrote this and handed it to me at her funeral.

As so many of us walk through the tunnel of life we often come across darkness rather than light. While we are surrounded by darkness, praying for a light at the end of the tunnel is our only hope but so often it seems only an empty prayer.

Only in certain times are our prayers heard and when they are it is unquestionably the work of God. It just so happens to be true, I'm proud to say, that myself like many others were blessed with a light. Calling this a simple light would be an understatement.

This was a beacon that lit up the entire tunnel. It brought an Angel that would brighten our lives. Unfortunately as soon as it came, it seems it left just as quick. Many of us are thinking our Angel has left, and the void we feel is overwhelming us.

However the memories that each one of us have, fills our hearts with love and happiness. Our Angel may have left our sight, but if I know her, she will always be by our side. She's the comforting love we feel in our hearts even when we are feeling the greatest sadness.

I for one am proud to say that I knew this Angel. I know so many others will agree, she may have left us but her memory lives on in each and every one of us. She made us better people for having known her.

She has enlightened us all with her love and her spirit and so I look up to God and thank him for sending us an Angel. Somebody who would do anything for anybody just to see them smile. She will always live on through us, the light will never fade.

It shines even brighter, filling us with the love and warmth that she felt for everyone.

Thank you Nichole for being our Angel.

We will miss you.

This was written by a friend of her brothers. Nichole had such an amazing affect on people. I was so touched when I read what he had written to me about my baby girl. Nichole obviously touched him deeply. This was how so many people did and still do feel about her.

Thank you for coming on this journey with Nichole and I. It has truly been my honor to share her poetry with all of you. Could you please take a moment to vote? Thank you.
