My heart goes out to family and friends, my humble condolences. Every once in a while there is a student in class who stands out as being special. Nick was that student. He was inquisitive, self-directed, highly responsible, and respectful of everyone. He was considerate of the perspectives of classmates and elevated the class discussions to more a more intellectual level. Every so often, Nick hinted at how proud he was of big sister Kira, who was undoubtedly a source of inspiration. I will fondly remember Nick as the special young person he was and as someone who truly let his light "shine" around everyone he met. I can certainly learn from him. Sending healing prayers for the family and lots of love.
