Please support my family and friends as we mourn our beloved Nickie. We lost one of the most beautiful people I have ever known on March 15th.
After being diagnosed with lung cancer on August 8th, 2023, she was going through physical, emotional, and financial struggles, as were her sons and husband. There is now a financial burden for this family.
Nickie was a caretaker for her husband, who had suffered many strokes. She was the rock to her boys and the love of her grandchildren. Yet she was never the one to beg or ask for help. She was a beautiful person with a big heart and was there for anyone in need.
Nickie's life has never been easy. She lost a lot in her life, from losing her 2-year-old son to her husband suffering from strokes to losing her 23-year-old nephew. She kept her life moving for her family and showed strength. You would never guess by being around such a bright person with a big personality and laugh.
Being diagnosed with lung cancer so young and unexpectedly was not something anyone expected. Trying to hold it together and make sure her family would be okay before herself, Nickie tried different treatments, including chemo and radiation. Unfortunately, the lung cancer and treatments were only destroying her body more. She decided to let God handle the rest, without treatment, and live as happily as she could for her loved ones.
She brought so much laughter, safety, and comfort to those who knew her. Her whole world was her children and grandchildren. Wild and free, she lived as our loved aunt, sister, and friend. Now, with our loved ones we lost along the way, having one big party.
The family still has to live and keep going. They are the ones still suffering. She is leaving her 17 year old son behind to take care of his dad. Her 26 year old son to hold the family together. Now that she is free of the pain. The only ones to suffer is her family. Please help in any way to provide her family some peace and relief. Thank you
