Dear Ed and Kurt,
Nicole is a very special friend. Not because Kurt and Creed were friends in school. It was because of Nicole’s soul was unique, beautiful, touching, lovely, spirited, and delightfully interesting. I’m attracted to very smart people. And her mind remains one of the brightest who has ever touch my life. We enjoyed surprising our sons to see each other, however, it was our friendship that was most enjoyable for us. The world is a stage and she played her part in it living as she wanted to live. I am conforted in knowing I remained friends with her even as our worlds grew apart in distance. We remained in touch to check in on “how Creed and Reece were doing”, and “how Ed and Kurt were doing”. So I miss these frequent discussions very much.
I will miss my friend Nicole voice and her charming personality.
Until we meet again…………….Prayers and Peaceful hugs to the family, especially, Edgar and Kurt
Thank you
Edgar and Kurt,
I am so sorry that your wife and mother, Nicole, died so prematurely.
While I never met her, she was obviously a wonderful and decent person who had a huge heart and sense of decency. It is clear she will be sorely missed by all who knew her, and her legacy will live on.
Please know that you are in the Sears family’s thoughts and prayers, and may Nicole Rest In Peace.
Godspeed.
Stephen
