Nikki, it was an honor to have known u and have u a part of me and alex's life. Your advise you gave me the last time we spoke will never be forgotten. You were such a high spirited person, always laughing, never did i see u frown, and even now i know u are watching down on us and probably laughing at us for crying, we know ur in a better place and you will no longer suffer but we will miss so very very much. My promise to u is to have alex take good care of milton n make sure he keeps his head up for wonderful israel. im very happy now that they are moving in upstairs, and guess what? israel met my daughter kassandra today, he was so gentle with her and we played, i love to see him smile cuz he looks just like u, well nikki we will miss u ALOT and always will u be in our prayers. Luv u and may God have u in his glory.

To My Coley
I will forever feel your Love
From the heavens up above
I must cry no more for you are free
I know your up there to welcome me
I will look to the sky for the brightest star
and I will know exactly where you are
When the winds blow its just your wings
Letting me know your ok with things
When the sun comes out for a little while
Its you up there telling me to smile
So I'll grieve no more but rather sit and sigh
Because I know your the angel thats flying so high
FLY HIGH MY ANGEL FLY HIGH
I'll love and miss you forever
