I am grateful to have gotten the chance to know Nicole. She was a fighter with, so much heart. Nicole's kids are amazing and they would make any parents proud. I will miss her forever! The only thing Nicole got wrong was the Energizer Bunny never ran out of batteries! She is still going strong in our hearts and minds. We will always have our memories! You are the Angel who watches over us now. Love you always! - Posted by: Chris Delorme (Friend) on: Apr 04, 2012

Having Nicole a part of our family for more than 2 decades has been a distinct privilege, pleasure and words cannot begin to describe her positive influence or impact on all of our lives. Her monumental courage and strength were surpassed only by her enormous capacity for love, compassion, kindness and understanding. A magnificent lady, a loving and caring Mom, a selfless person, Nicole was a true sister, a wonderful friend and will be forever in our hearts and memories. Her greatest legacies – Conner and Danielle – I wish you continued strength and comfort that her spirit is alive and well within both of you. Nicole was truly a one of a kind and will be eternally missed. - Posted by: Jona Thier (Sister-in-law) on: Apr 04, 2012

Today we celebrated the life of an amazing Gal. It was not surprising that there was standing room only as the room filled up with people who loved Nicole. I had the honor of meeting Miss Their @ Headingley Correctional Center. Her smile was infectious. I often wondered if she ever had a bad day because if she did, it never showed. I will forever admire her strength. What a gift she was to all of us guards. I will always be thankful that my life crossed paths with hers. No one ever called "medical door please" like Nicole!! We luv ya, we miss ya & we thank you for making a jail & our lives better by just being YOU! P.S.----i concur, F.U. Cancer - Posted by: dave tucker (friend/co-worker) on: Apr 02, 2012

Sometimes people come into our lives and we know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve a special purpose, and to teach us all about how precious life is. Nicole was that person for all of us here at Headingley. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to Nicole's children, family and friends. - Posted by: Marika Sharpe and Kelly Hurley (Co-workers) on: Apr 02, 2012

I worked for Nicole several years ago when she was in the restaurant business. She was a fantastic employer and was always kind, understanding and caring towards her employees. She always had a smile to offer everyone and she was dedicated to her family. I am saddened to hear of her passing and want to offer my condolences to her family for their loss. - Posted by: Shannon Schellenberg (Former Employee) on: Apr 01, 2012

It is 7:00 am Monday in New Zealand, 2:00 pm your time. I stand on our drive riddled with teenage chalk drawings, a rooster crowing in the distance, a cat trying to trip me, the cool of autumn approaching, and I marvel at the beauty and the brevity of life. The passage of time. I think of you, Nicole, and I am honoured to have met you, to have had our children play together, of glasses of wine, coffee with Bailey’s. Fireworks on your back deck on Kingston Crescent. Thank you. And if you could, hug my daughter for me. Thinking of you, your kids, and your mum. Warm thoughts. - Posted by: Sandra Walsh (Friend) on: Apr 01, 2012

What a tragic loss and a life cut too short. Nicole touched many lives and will be fondly remembered. I always enjoyed our conversations over coffee, and will miss the laughs we shared. Rest in Peace my Friend. - Posted by: John Harding (Co-worker) on: Apr 01, 2012

I did not know Nicole as well as other staff members at HCC, however in the short time of knowing her she really was a ray of sunshine. Always smiling, her soft voice and yes rushing around like the energizer bunny. I wanted to say I wish her family the best and wish gods love and light to help them all through this difficult time . - Posted by: Tina Smith (Co-Worker) on: Mar 31, 2012

Nicole was a hard worker, who always had a bright smile and was very caring from what I saw. I didnt know her very well but I remember her sharing her baking with me and anyone who was passing by the main floor. My condolences to your family - Posted by: Ken Odidison (Co-worker) on: Mar 31, 2012

I had the pleasure of working too short a time with this remarkable woman before her illness shed her focus elsewhere. Through every struggle, every obstacle, she remained strong willed and smiling. I remember her telling me that she was given one year.. As she spoke she was smiling, talking about how she didn't want to miss a second more with her children and wanted them to have such great memories before it was too late. I wonder now how many times in that year she heard laughter, wishes and dreams, all the while still giving to her children. She was someone who I will never forget and someone who has taught us all about acceptance, true beauty inside and out, and what every human being should strive to be. I have heard so many people talk of how cruel it is that someone this remarkable can be taken from us so soon. Perhaps because if her gifts she was needed elsewhere. Thanks for teaching a bunch of hardened guards what it means to smile. Rest in peace, pain free, lovely. - Posted by: Marni Van Dale (Friend / Co-worker) on: Mar 31, 2012

Nicole. You were a true inspiration to others and myself. Your character and spirit will live forever with me and you will never know how much your fight taught others, especially me when I was having a tough time a few years ago. I will miss our talks and coffee dates. See you later in the Gods gym. Miss yah Steve - Posted by: steve (friend) on: Mar 31, 2012

I first met Nicole in high school as she was a friend of a friend. She went on to date, then marry a good friend of mine, Henry, and I kept in touch with both of them for quite a long time but not for the last 10 years or so. I remember many fun times with Nicole and I was so sad to read of her passing. She was a great person: kind, caring, generous, and a great mom. She will be missed. My condolences to her children, parents and all the people who were in her life now. - Posted by: Monique St. Germain (friend) on: Mar 31, 2012

Oh I am soo sorry to hear of your dear mom's passing. She was so incredibly strong throughout this whole journey. She was always so upbeat any time we saw her. I have always missed your family after you moved and now there is an even bigger hole in my heart. I loved your mom and was so blessed to have had her in my life. Danielle and Connor I wish you would keep in touch with us. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.
