I pray that God's comfort is stronger now than ever.

Our sincere and heartfelt condolences.  With loving thoughts and prayers,

Melinda (Csaky) Molina and family

Our hearts are broken.  We love you so much and our family is grieving with you today.   Thomas said a number of times Nicole is the happiness of the church and she is always smiling.  That's how we will remember her - smiling because she was filled with the love of the Jesus.  Rick, Paul & Cindy, Renee, Paul & Sarah & Danielle - we will continue to lift your names to the Lord individually, and also collectively as you heal together.

Yesterday Jeremy had a sermon on Prisons.  He asked "what prison are you in?".  We thought about the the sin that imprisons us.  We all thought of Nicole, imprisoned by cancer.  In the afternoon, we prayed for her. "So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him." Acts 12:5.  Today, her chains fell off and she was led to the gates of the city, perhaps by the same angel!  She walked through them, now freed!

Like Joe wrote in the previous posting, "if one part (of the body) suffers, every part suffers with it."  We did not sleep well and awoke in prayer.  "weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning"  Psalm 30:5  Thank God for his Holy Scriptures at sad times like this!

Love Roger, Patty, Grant, Brad, Jesse, and Luke

Our prayers are with you. May God continue to carry you through and be your strength.

With love because of Christ,

Nathan and Margaret Nenadov

PS: Simeon still has fond memories of Nicole patiently teaching him how to play the guitar at the Pine Valley Retreat.

Nicole was so full of life.  Her love for God radiated through the good and difficult times.  Now she is able to physically do the things that we couldn't even imagine to do. God give the strength to her close ones for their healing when they cannot go on themselves alone.

To her family and friends:

    I never got to meet Nicole... I only know of her through a friend, but I know she was deeply loved and that her smile radiated the love of Christ.  My prayers go out to each and every single person. 

This song has been ministering to me for weeks now, so I know it will minister to everyone reading this.... Rest in God's faithful, comforting arms

Lindsey Kane- "Weep with Me" http://www.myspace.com/lindseykane2  or ask me


I was in the room when you were there
And I was on the phone when you found out
I was on the floor when you broke down
I was in the tears you cried
My love is even deeper than this valley
My grace is even deeper than this pain
My heart is even deeper than this fear
I’m here, you can rest in My arms

Weep with Me now
Weep with Me now
Weep with Me now
I’m here, you can rest in My arms

I was in the room as he slept
And I was by his side when he awoke
I was on his mind as he trembled
And I was at the gate when he arrived
He loves it here and I love him here
Even though I know you don’t understand
It’s ok to ask why, feel free to cry
I’m still deeper than the deepest of pain

*hugs*.... God bless.....MNB

There just aren't any words at this time.  Know that we love you all, we grieve with you and our hearts ache for you.  We will lift you up in prayer.  We are thankful to have known Nicole and will miss her beautiful contageous smile.

Love, Eli & Mariana Tapolcsanyi

Dearest Rick and families;

Nicole has left an everlasting memory for us all, in what we can be for the Lord, by her example. She has already run her race, while you and we all still have tasks to accomplish for the Lord. We will not cease to uphold you now and in the coming difficult days as we remember, wonder and attempt to run our race as well as Nicole has shown it can be run. May you find comfort in Gods' sufficient grace, may He give you peace, hold you in His loving arms and bless you, as He alone knows and can meet your every need.

Much love, Frank Balzer and family

Dear Rick, Paul, Cindy and family,

We are so sad for your loss, so grateful for Nicole's witness to the faithfulness and love of Jesus. She said it so clearly, Either way..I win. She has won. We love you and pray for you.

Mark and Sandy Keiper

Dear Rick, Rob, Paul & Sarah, Paul & Cindy, Danielle, Renee, and extended families,

We have been praying for you for the last 16 months and are not stopping now.  May God give you the grace and the comfort you need.  It is hard to not be able to be there, but we trust that God will enable you to feel our love and prayers from a distance.

Love and hugs to all, Juan and Bethany (Shurance) Villalba

"All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us"

Rick and family, you are certainly foremost in my prayers.  God be with you and comfort you with His love and grace. 

Luke Pavkov

She is dancing and singing at Jesus' feet now. I can just see her big smile. I pray that God would surround Rick, family, and all who mourn with His comfort and love. You're all in my prayers.

 Sarah (Mahler) and Jonathan Boleratz

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. Nicole was a beautiful person and we were all so blessed to have her in our lives.

With Love Always,

Paul, Cindy, Paul, Renee, and Danielle, (and Families),

I can't even begin to tell you all how much I loved Nicole. I have so many memories of her from my childhood, and for those, I am SO thankful. She was the most amazing girl and woman I have ever met. Throughout my entire life she was such an example to me. She always lived her life pleasing to GOD, with no regrets. She was such a strong woman of Christ. And had such a big beautiful smile that just exuded GOD’s Love! I will so deeply miss her, but find joy in my heart in knowing that she is singing praises right now at Jesus' feet (she had such a beautiful voice)…washing His feet with her long golden blonde hair!!  My husband and I love you all so very much and we pray that GOD may comfort you to ease the pain, and strengthen you to face each day. Her example will be an inspiration to so many, bringing them to (or closer to) Christ!

Rick,

Our hearts go out to you. Justin and I will continue to lift you up in our prayers, as we have been for many months. I pray that GOD gives you comfort in knowing your beautiful wife is with Jesus now-her bridegroom, in heaven.

Much Love~

Stephanie (Emich) & Justin Lamp
