i love you and i miss you so much. . . .
. . . love you always and forever mom . . .

Antoinette, I am so sorry to hear about your son, Nicholas. I just read in MAA's re-echo. My heart breaks for you and your family. Prayers & comfort, Charlotte Grubisich Turturillo ('83)

i miss you more and more each day - none of this gets easier. i love you with all my heart. i miss your smiling face - you talks and your big hugs. my heart aches for such a tragic loss. i will never understand but i do know that i love you and miss you with all my heart
. . . love you mom

My friend I will never be able to make sense out of your absence. The fact that I will never be able to speak to you again kills me and I know that will never go away. But I know that you are part of a bigger picture now and we will meet again in our REAL existence. You will never be forgotten and you will always be missed. I love you and I always will. Your pal Chris

it has been 3 months and it seems like yesterday that you walked in the front door coming - it doesn't get any easier i still don't want to believe any of this i just want you back home and for you to hug me and tell me you love you like you always did. i love you now, forever, and always; and i miss you so much. love you mom

It has taken me so very long to even view this guest book because I just didn't want to accept this, and still haven't. Everyone says each day gets easier, but they are wrong. Each day is just as hard. Words can't even explain how much I miss you. As I have had the most privelaged opportunity to have you in my life for about eight years, I only wish I could have had that for the rest of my life. I miss talking to you everyday and you making me smile everyday. I know you are watching over me and I will love you forever, Nicholas.

my baby boy - as time goes by it still seems like yesterday - the pain, the emptiness, the broken heart will never heal or go away - i wish i could turn back the clock and have you back here with us all again. i miss you so much it hurts - love you always and forever mom

to my Dear Nicky Nick..........I know it took me awhile to write this but I didn't want to believe one of my beautiful grandsons are gone...the void in my heart will be there forever until am I with you and papa.....all the "I love you's my Nicky Nick" will never cease.....I'd give anything to have you here next to me.......you are so loved...........words can't describe it........always and forever
Grandma Sissy...........

happy new year big bro also merry chirstmas i will miss u 4 ever.- lil sis antoinette

i want to tell "happy 21st birthday" - "merry christmas" - and "happy new year" i talk to you everyday like we used to - i tell you i love you everyday - like i used to; i do wish everything was like it used to be; but it can't anymore - i love you and i miss you more as each day goes by. i still can't believe all this - it hurts too much. you are in my heart - always . . . . love you mom

what i once knew as normal - is no more; what i once knew as family - is no more; i love you and miss you with all my heart; part of my family is here with me and part of my family is an angel in heaven looking down on us. as the days go by it doesn't get any easier - i am glad i always told you that i loved you and you always told me that you loved me - you are truly loved and missed. . . . mom

I can't believe how the days go by - but seem to run together all at once. It has been about a month now since God has given you wings and it still feels like you are going to walk through the front door and tell me your home. I love you with all my heart and miss you.
Mom

Nick,
I believe you may take notice of how unbelievably difficult it is to express the thoughts held inside during this difficult time. I feel that you may now know more to my story; realizing how this is another nail driven in, even if you didn't know of what happened in your celestial form. You are now one with six of my closest friends who all passed within the last 3 years, the oldest only being 21. One of these people was our mutual friend and it almost feels like we're back in high school, and I envision you and Matt standing in a hallway, hanging out. A part of me has left with you just like it did with the others. Life can be beautiful, but it can also be relentlessly cruel. Although we didn't speak much near the end, I will always remember playing music with you. The more I think about all this, the more I go insane. Maybe a reassurance of "this isn't goodbye, it's cya later" and an ongoing resiliency is needed. In whichever case, I hope you and your family find peace. We all miss you buddy.
-Adam

Words can not even begin to say how sorry I am. This is Steve New's mom. All I can say they were crazy together. Steve truly loved Nick. No matter where they were or what they did it was always a good time. Even just sitting at your house all summer driving you nuts. He was a very special and dear to our family. He will be missed dearly. I know that words can not fix anything but please feel free to contact Steve whenever you need. He will always be there for you. He always said that was his second home.

Nicky was always a delight to have in our home. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors.Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Phil and Antionette, you raised a great young man, he will be missed by many.

My prayer is for God to wrap his loving arms around all of you and hold you together in this time of loss.
My best memory of Nicky is when he would be all excited telling us about a hockey game he was in. He was just to young and special, I will miss him.

I am so sadden by the news of Nicks passing. I have really great memories of Nick and the rest of the Wingo family. Nick was loved by so many and will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to the entire Wingo family.

We are so very sad for the loss of Nicki. Our hearts and prayers are with you. We will miss his wonderful smile and great humor. We thank God for the time we were blessed with having Nicki in our lives.
We love you all very much.

Nicholas, (as my daughter Ana always called him) was truly a wonderful person who I had the honor to know over the past several years. Each time he came over to the house to see Ana, he always made it a point to stay for a chat, no matter what, and that is something that really impressed me about him. I will forever be grateful for the memories and the laughter we shared, and I will never forget his smiling face. He will be deeply missed in the Wilp household. I am praying for the Wingo family during this impossibly painful time, and trusting in God to provide comfort and peace to your hearts. You have raised a remarkable son who will not be forgotten.

I thoroughly enjoyed his visits to my house because he always took the time to chat with me, no matter what, and that really impressed me about him. I'm so very grateful for the memories and for the laughter shared, and I will never ever forget his smiling face. He will be terribly missed in the Wilp household. I pray for healing for the Wingo family at this impossibly painful time, and trust that God will provide comfort and peace to your hearts. You have raised a remarkable son who will not be forgotten.

Dearest Wingo Family,

We join with so many others who knew Nick in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this very sad time...may you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.

In Sympathy,

Niemiec Family

So very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved son. I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling. My heart goes out to your family. While no words can ease your pain, please know that during his short time with us, Nick touched many people's lives and he will forever be remembered in their hearts.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I remember the good ol days at St. Laurence hockey games and the old Chicago Hawk days. Nick will be sadly missed and in the Moore's prayers

To the Wingo Family, although I didn't know you well, you were a friend of my son's. Yes you have been to my house a couple of times, times I'm sure will be remembered. I as a mom of a young man that age, your family will be in our hearts and prayers. I can only pray that you stay strong! Nick's memory will live on forever...With our Deepest Sympathy...The Presleys(Oak Lawn).

Nick was the bass player for every show my band ever played. He learned all of our songs quickly and with ease, and had a great time doing so. I had a lot of fun with the guy whether or not we were playing music together. I'm going to miss him a lot, and my deepest condolences go out to his family, in their time of grief.

My heart and prayers go out to all of the family, and friends of Nick. Nick and I became great friends a few years ago, and because of school and work, we sadly lost touch. Words can never express how grateful I am that I met him, and how I could never forget his smile. May God be with all of you.

We are so sorry. I can't imagine the grief you are experiencing. We are praying for you. Darlene, Dave, Daniel & Josh.

Your family is continually in my thoughts. I am praying that God will give you the strength, comfort and peace that only He can give. With much love and sympathy, Roberta.

Phillip, Antoinette, Uncle Bill, Aunt Evelyn, and Robin -- we are so sorry for your loss. All of you are in our prayers...prayers for peace and understanding. Hold on to all of the dear memories!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Nicholas. It doesn't seem possible. The entire family--especially Philip and Antoinette-- has been in our thoughts and prayers since we received the news.

Unfortunately, due to some health issues, I will be unable to attend the services, but I will be there in thought and prayers. It has been several years since we last saw Nicholas. He was a fine young man. I only wish I could have known him better. There is no doubt you have many treasured, beautiful memories of the years he was with you and they will bring much joy and even laughter in the months and years ahead.

May God give each one of you that peace that passes all understanding and comfort you in a very personal and special manner. He will see you through this very dark hour and the days ahead if you just look to Him.

Love and prayers,

Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Don
