About 6 months ago Nicole walked up to our table in Logans. She flashed that bright smile and took time to chat awhile; sharing the joy of having Kohen in her life & exuding happiness. You raised a beautiful daughter. We join our prayers with so many others in asking God to be your strength and bring you peace during this time.

Please know that our prayers are with you and Kohen. Nichole has always been a special young lady to us. We were heart broken to hear the news and our family is praying for you all. Nicole always had the ability to bring sunshine on a cloudy day and may your memories always bring that sunshine to your hearts. May God’s peace shower over you and precious Kohen.

Johnson Family, I am very sorry for your loss. I was digging up pictures from our Belfast, Northern Ireland missions trip…we roomed together there. We didn’t really keep in touch, but like Terri Stemen, my husband and I ran into her at Logans as well and she also shared with us the joy that Kohen brought her. Her memory will not be forgotten…and I will always remember her laugh. Please know that my sincerest thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She will be greatly missed.

It’s so devastating to hear of this beautiful young lady’s departure from this earth. I can’t imagine life without my children. It’s not natural. But I know that Terri and Bruce know our Heavenly Father and we haven’t said “Goodbye Nikki” we’ve only said Goodnight Love, we’ll see you very soon!!
I love you and will continue to lift your emotions to the only one that can comfort you.
Peace to your family during this holiday season.

Dear Aunt Terri & Uncle Bruce,
I don’t know about you guys, but it was hard for me at the Thanksgiving get-together. Kohen was really attached to me. People say I look like Nicole, and that sort of hurts now that i think about it. I love you guys to death! YOu guys are the best!
Love Always,
Teryn Allen
