The family would like to extend a special thanks to a dear friend who has helped in this time of sorrow. A thousand words won’t bring Nickie back to us, we know because we’ve said them and neither will a million tears, because we’ve cried them all, but when we’ve finished crying, because her life has ended, we’ll smile because she lived it. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at the Howard Avenue Chapel of Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home, Biloxi. Friends may visit from 12:00 p.m. until service time. In lieu of flowers the family prefers memorials be made to: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or to one’s favorite charity.
