I would like to share just one of So Many "Nicole" stories/adventures.
I loved Nicole being a loyal and long time client and cherished friend of mine. It was Christmas time. Nicole came and got a manicure and a pedicure. 2 hours later she walked back in the salon with a very large table smiling and laughing. We watched in amazement and disbelieve as she began to carry in things. Tablecloth plates silverware and beautiful Crystal serving dishes
She set up champagne wine crackers cheese balls and Fresh Shrimp! She said this is my Christmas gift to you I will be back later tonight to pick everything up. It was an amazing gift that I've never forgotten. I can't just tell one memory, I must add our mutual love of Christmas trees and "leopard print!" I buy Christmas decorations after the season is over I found the most divine leopard print angel for the top of my tree! I put her away and couldn't wait till the next year. As we were having one of our many discussions about Christmas trees and leopard print she said you know I have never been able to find a black angel for the top of my Christmas tree. I just smiled and couldn't wait until Christmas. The beautiful leopard print angel that I had bought was black and I gave it to Nicole that year for Christmas!
Enjoy your one way first class ticket to Paradise
I know you will walk in the gate smile at everyone open your arms and get millions of hugs!
Nicole and I met through SWL. She had a great sense of humor and we shared many fun times through our volunteering together. She was so proud of her children and their accomplishments. May she Rest In Peace.

Nicole was a wonderful neighbor and friend. I will miss our chats on her deck.
My condolences to the Washington family. I met Nicole through my sister Wanda Stallworth. Whenever I visited my sister in Ohio I always looked forward to seeing Nicole. We laugh, we shared children stories and just had a good time. Whenever my sister visited Nicole at her home my sister would call me and Nicole and I would take over the phone call. She was a special friend to all but especially to my sister Wanda. Nicole was her Ohio sister and took care of my sister because I was so far away. I will truly miss Nicole.
How lucky we all were to have loved her and laughed with her. We are so grateful for every single memory and we will cherish them forever. We love you guys. -John, Katie, and Colin Wilson
