• So very sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Riese. My daughter suffered from a drug addiction and we were so lucky to cross paths with such a caring and wonderful doctor through AFM. I will always remember how compassionate and so very kind she was to my daughter. Please accept my deepest sympathies. - Posted by: Brenda Normand (aquaintance) on: Apr 18, 2022

• I had the pleasure of working for Nicole in Kenora for a few years. Everyone she came into contact with was treated equally. Nicole was a dedicated Doctor that had strong values and gave of herself 100% in whatever she undertook. Her passion for cooking, gardening, swimming, and life in general was a pleasure to watch and participate with. Her life was well lived. I know she will be missed by her family, friends and patients.

• It was with great sadness I heard about Nichole's passing. I was fortunate to meet her in 2004 when she interviewed me for my position at the Northern Medical Unit. She was an inspiring woman. Whatever she did she put her heart and soul into and she made the world a better place. My condolences to her partner, family, friends, and colleagues. She will be missed and remembered by many. - Posted by: Julie Creasey ((J.A. Hildes Northern Medical Unit)) on: Apr 16, 2022

• Tricia, our son Lev and myself offer our heartfelt condolences to our dear friend's family and to Pascal, who meant so much to her. Lev called her "Auntie" and her home was our home away from home in Winnipeg. Nichole inspired me so much, with her quiet resolve to do good things in the world. She "walked the walk" and only talked about it when necessary. By holding space for those who deserved and needed a voice, she taught by osmosis-just by knowing her and listening, (not to mention going through her book collection). I also cherished the bike rides, dinners and time reminiscing. Words failed all of us at the end of her life, so I just said "thank you for being my friend". - Posted by: Myles Blank (Friend and Med school classmate) on: Apr 15, 2022

• I met Nichole in 1977, we worked at Eaton's together and then attended medical school together cementing a life long friendship. My deepest sympathy to her family and Pascal, you made her life so meaningful. Nichole was the most thoughtful, righteous person I have ever met. The world was a better place because of her. I will miss her terribly and she leaves a big void in my heart Lana Lipkowitz - Posted by: Lana Lipkowitz (colleagues and friend) on: Apr 11, 2022

• Dear Nichole, Although our paths have crossed and moved away several times, I still remember you, your smile, kindness and intelligence. I was so pleased to welcome you in France, Mexico, England.. where my job was leading me away from you. I wish I could have be closer to you and see you again before you left us. I hope somewhere, sometime we can meet again. I send my deepest condolences to all your family and friends. Many people will miss you but your aura will last forever and even more in the hearts and bodies of all those you saved. May a good God take care of you now.

• Nichole's deep loyalty to family, friends and patients, her compassion and firm commitment to social justice, her incredible vitality and capacity to take on the challenges of life has touched many, many people.

• I enjoyed working with Nichole at the Addiction Foundation of Manitoba. She was immensely devoted to her patients and was an inspiration. She will be dearly missed. She was always willing to consult with me and I enjoyed talking to her. My condolences to family and friends. - Posted by: Donna Alden-Bugden (Colleague ) on: Apr 09, 2022

• I worked very closely with Nichole for at least 5 years leading up until summer of 2019 when she left the organization. She was such a kind, caring person. A wonderful physician, always taking the time and details with her patients. Great stories and always left you in awe of her athleticism, healthy way of life and love of nature. She biked or hiked everywhere! She was always aware of the world around her and those in need. Generous spirit and all around fantastic soul. I will miss her.
