I was a classmate of Nikki at St. John's. I am sorry to hear of her death. My prayers.
God's peace be with you all. Love from the Hall family, Bob, Becky, Jonathan, Daniel & Josie
To the family of Nikki: I knew Nikki through Rocco, her dog, and the group of folks who bonded because of the breeder from whom Nikki and the rest of us had gotten dogs. Nikki was one of those rare folks who is instantly loving, and I did love her. She also earned my admiration for being courageous in the face of a difficult illness, for being humorous in the middle of difficulty, and for ever being faithful to her family, friends, and church. She embodied the best of being Catholiic Christian. My condolences to her family, both physical and spiritual. She will continue to bless all of us who knew her.
I also knew Nikki through Rocco and our close group of dog lovers. Nikki was one the most wonderful people I knew, a real role model for all that life throws at you. She was kind to everyone and yet would not put up with nastiness on the part of anyone being unfair or mean to another.
I too was one touched by Nikki and Rocco who she affectionately called “The Mayor”. I was privileged to be friends via the dog group and even blessed to fly out to Ohio and meet her and the group. You couldn't help but love this wonderful woman. She so loved her family, friends and church. She leaves a beautiful legacy of love and commitment as well as humor. My prayers go out to you as you deal with the hole see left behind. May you be filled with wonderful memories of her <3
