Our Angel Nick

Nick's love was the beach, he even wanted to go to a college
that was near the shore.

He loved the outdoors, camping, nature, hiking. He loved the woods.

These are two loving gifts to Angel Nicholas from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.

He loved animals, didn't understand why or how people could hunt and kill. He would get mad when "progress" would bulldoze the trees for a new road, or apartment complex. He would ask me.."Dad, why are they doing this? Where are the animals going to live?" He would go on to say "look at all the empty apartments now, why do they need more"?

See You Soon

You were everything I wanted to be,
I knew you were inside of me.
Everything you did, I admired
Some good, some bad, I never got tired.
You encouraged me to do things I would never do,
You are my brother, I’m proud of you.
You were big, strong and lifted me up,
You played with me, picked with me
And when needed, protected me.
When you were there, I felt great,
You were one to appreciate.
For I miss you, but you should know,
I cannot wait for you to show.
For you still live inside of me,
You’re the one who enlightens me.
I’ll see you soon
To share our love.

On Christmas Eve 2009, Evan Neas, Age 14, composed this poem to his Big Brother “Nick”.
Evan worshiped the ground his brother walked on…….

Nick loved baseball, started at age 5 in "tee" ball.
He was on the swim team in High School, and the baseball team.

Lonely Ship

Like a lonely ship at sea,
No port in sight, no safe harbor.
I drift in uncharted waters,
Waves of emotions lash against my hull,
Each one stronger than the last.
Anxiety churns the waters,
Doubt and fear push me off course.
A light on the horizon beckons me,
It seems familiar,
Soft and warm, yet each time I look it dims.
The waves are unrelenting
My fuel runs low
My structure weakens
Questions with no answers torment me
Turn my bow to the light,
Knowing not if it is true?
Or let go the wheel,
Let the waves breach my hull
And embrace the dark waters below?
Like a lonely ship at sea,
My destination unknown
I’ll seek the warmth of the light
Less it becomes one,
With the sea.

This is a beautiful gift to Angel Nick from my dear friend, Susie, Mom to Angel Jason.

MEMORIES OF YOU

I remember everything about you
your voice, your smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me meant so much.

I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all the things you did for me
I see now with different eyes.

I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
it is really hard to say.

You are gone from me now but,
one thing they can't take away,
Your memory resides inside my heart
and lights up my darkest days!

For ANGEL Nick and His Family

One Day when your Time comes
The Day that GOD calls you HOME
You will be with your Nick again
And you will never again be alone

You don't have to feel empty
Nick is with you always and forever
Just open your Mind and Heart
He see's you, you're not alone
NEVER
