My sister Shannon and I have some of our best childhood memories with our mom,Patti, and Aunt Nicki. We loved being at the Nicholson family Thanksgivings. We played in the attached screened porch by the garage; went to Star Wars with Nicki and mom with Tanya and maybe Justin too? I remember visiting Nicki at Bennett’s and living with her when we were little. Nicki braided our hair and made us giggle. She celebrated our successes and made us feel so special. Aunt Nicki was also mom’s closest friend since highschool. I’m imagining them together in heaven raising hell right now:) our thoughts and prayers to all who knew her- with love from Kristy and Shannon
