Personal note from Nicholas's family

Update to the Memorial: I fell and broke my kneecap last week (Feb.12) so the Memorial is postponed indefinitely. But no way will I let it slide. Hopefully I might be recovered enough by April. I will post well in advance. I would like to extend profound thanks to all who have reached out to offer words of support and caring during this difficult time in my life, it has meant everything. I invite all our friends to share good memories here. Special thanks to F. Kentra, who shared photos of Nick. Love, MB
