My Sweet Nicole,

Today you would have turned 27.

I can only wonder what your life would be.
Every day I wake up with you on my mind and at the end of the day I go to bed and write to you in my journal.

We had our family over to Celebrate your Birthday like we have done every year since September 11th. Sometimes life can still be so hard without you here. All of your cousins are all having their own children and now I can only wish that I could have seen you have your own. WE all miss you so much and sometimes this still feels like dream and other times this is so real for we have not seen your beautiful face, smile or your heard your laughter in many years.

I know in my Heart you are in a much better place and that we will all be
together again. Until than, sweet baby girl, have a GREAT time in HEAVEN
!!!!!

Love you forever, ....... FOREVER 21......

MOM ( Cathy Stefani)

 

Happy Birthday Nicole,

There are so many people that I have met that want to know about my ribbon or bracelet. I tell them what I know about you and they tell me that they will pray for you and that your life lives on. I never met you in person but I know your mothers family and the love that I feel through them is fantastic. I will always make sure that I tell anyone who will listen about you and how you will live on through all of us. I know you are here with us and I know you will always live through us.

Dear Nicole,

That was my husband, we were married on1/20/07. Were here to wish you another HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! You are 27 years old. I had Courtney when I was 26 and I will be 50 this year. I gave your Mom pinkTulips to plant in your garden. There is not a day that goes by that we don't think about you and miss you, and wish you were here physically. But we all know you are here in spirit. HAPPY BIRTHDAY baby girl. You are so loved.

Aunt Lynn
