I didn’t have the privelege of knowing Nik for very long but during our time together I got to know what a kind, considerate and determined young man he was and I will truly miss him.

Dear Joannie, Brian & Dannika,

Thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Here is a poem I would like to share:

Gone too Soon Author Unknown:

Like a comet

Blazing across the evening sky

Gone too soon

Like a rainbow

Fading in the twinkling of an eye

Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly

And splendidly bright

Here one day

Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight

On a cloudy afternoon

Gone too soon

Like a castle

Built upon a sandy beach

Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower

That is just beyond your reach

Gone too soon

Born to amuse

To inspire and delight

Here one day

Gone one night

Like a sunset

Dying with the rising of the moon

Gone too soon

Gone too soon
