<div><strong>Obituary</strong>:
</div>
<div>Nicole Monique LaJeunesse Gregory was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on November 23, 1976.
</div>
<div>At the age of 10, she moved to Texas, where she forged an unbreakable bond with a group of young girls who
</div>
<div>would remain her steadfast companions for the next 38 years, walking beside her through every high and low
</div>
<div>life had to offer.
</div>
<div>In 1997, she married Jason Gregory and in January of 1998, she was blessed with the birth of her daughter,
</div>
<div>Hailee Crysta Marie LaJuenesse Gregory—the apple of her eye, heartbeat of her soul.
</div>
<div>Nicole is survived by her mother, Emily; her surrogate father, Rudy; her siblings, Alicia, Sarah, and David;
</div>
<div>and her beloved daughter, Hailee. She was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents, Estefanita “Bita”
</div>
<div>Aragon LaJeunesse and Diego LaJeunesse, who lovingly and wholeheartedly poured themselves into Nicole’s
</div>
<div>life until their passing.
</div>
<div>Nicole and her mother Emily shared an apartment in the heart of Addison, where they thrifted treasures,
</div>
<div>refurbished furniture with flair, and played card games late into the night— since Nicole lived firmly outside
</div>
<div>the boundaries of time. She was a night owl with her own schedule and her own pace: slow, methodical,
</div>
<div>precise. She was a woman with vision, and every little detail had to be just right, and she would see that it
</div>
<div>got that way, or there would be Hell to pay! But when a project was finished, it was amazing in a way that
</div>
<div>only Nicole could create.
</div>
<div>Her sister Alicia says that to be in Nicole’s circle meant knowing—without a doubt—that Nicole had your
</div>
<div>back. They affectionately called each other “Sissy Poo” and no comfort on earth could compare to being
</div>
<div>wrapped in Nicole’s arms. “I held her secrets and she held mine,” Alicia said. They could tease each other
</div>
<div>mercilessly—but if someone else dared to cross that line? They’d have both sisters to answer to.
</div>
<div>As a mother, Nicole’s love and nurturing spirit knew no bounds. She poured herself into raising
</div>
<div>Hailee—encouraging her dreams, instilling values of kindness, resilience, integrity, and hard work.
</div>
<div>Her love was unwavering, her presence a steady source of strength, and her wisdom will echo in her
</div>
<div>daughter’s heart forever.
</div>
<div>Nicole’s love of music was legendary. Her Facebook page (darlingnikki1976) was a curated playlist of her
</div>
<div>soul: from Prince (her all-time favorite) to Taylor Swift, Rufus Du Sol, The Killers, Queen, NKOTB and the
</div>
<div>Flannel Pajamas. Nicole had range and she loved it all.
</div>
<div>Her life was a radiant blend of creativity, strength, compassion, and fierce connection—with people, animals,
</div>
<div>and the world around her. She adored her cats, with a forceful gentleness—rescuing strays, nursing the sick
</div>
<div>back to health, delivering kittens, tending to every creature who crossed her path with dignity. She lived
</div>
<div>boldly, fearlessly—guided by a passionate heart, a curious mind, and the soul of an artist. She was a mother,
</div>
<div>a sister, a daughter, and a friend . . . A true artist of life in every sense. Though she has left this earth, her
</div>
<div>essence remains—in every purring cat, every sparkling trinket made by hand, every inside joke whispered
</div>
<div>among friends, and every memory that makes us laugh through the tears.
</div>
<div><strong>There will be two Celebration of Life Services held for Nicole:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1) <strong>July 12th @ 4:00 pm (Visitation at 3:00)</strong> Crossroads Church, 7900 Chiesa, Rowlett, Texas 75089,
</div>
<div>which will be live-streamed from <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1297216975165736" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/events/1297216975165736</a></strong>.
</div>
<div>2) <strong>August 2nd @ 7:00 pm</strong> at Third Rail Bar &amp; Events in Grapevine where Flannel Pajamas will be performing
