    Cathy, Scott

    Nikki was always a Ray of Sunshine! She loved everyone and everyone loved her. Whenever she entered a room she always brightened the moods of everyone there. She was the Ambassador of Love! Her smile was infectious, she always spoke with everyone to see how they were doing and inquired about members of their family. She had a fantastic memory of previous events and parties that we had attended and we would laugh about what transpired at those events. She will be surely missed and we will never forget our Ambassador of Love.
