I remember one week exactly before you were gone i talked to you at a karaoki bar. Ironically, they played "mary" by kenny chessney and i told you i really loved that song. You looked at me and smiled and said you didnt like the way that song ended and that mary was your first name. I didnt know that until then and didnt think much of it at the time. Im sure thinking of it now. The time we had together was short but you taught me so much. You reminded me of things that you can only see through a young girls eyes. How important that family and friends and all that mushy huggy crap i used to aggrevate u about can be. You reminded me about love when it was fresh and new and helped me remember how i should use it. You very possibly saved my marriage and on dec 5th i when i got the news of your death I was devestated. I miss you so bad. Your the only friend i ever had that i could really talk to and im so scared that i wont find another one. As God as my witness I would have gladly taken your place. I will never forget you and will always love you. Miss me :)

the first time met you was in middle school.you was a great friend, if there was ever anything wrong. you would aways talk to me and make me laugh.when i stopped going to school you were one of the people that i missed the most. you are a great person and a best friend. i will miss you so much.there will never be another person like you. i love you and i will aways miss you. my love and heart goes out to your family.

Niki!!! I can't believe you are gone!!!! I met you at customs for our Freshmen year @ MTSU, we were in the same group(Zimbabwe)! From that day on was the start of great friendship!!! We were the lucky ones and got to be there pretty much everyday!!!! I ate lunch everyday with you, whether it was chick-fil-a @ school with Lori and Ryan or goin to Cracker Barrel for some yummy hash brown cassarole!!! We always had so much fun and very interesting crazy conversation! "That was expected if you and me were together tho!" There is one day that really sticks out in my mind tho...ok maybe two. The first one was the day we sat on the concrete outside Peck Hall for like 2 hours just talkin about life and all the crazy things that have happened, laughing, listenin to music on your laptop!!! That was a GREAT day that I will cherish forever! The second day i remember that sticks out was the day we left to go eat luch and decided to go to Chili's we were there forever and we got so excited cuz we were gonna get to eat the molten chocolate cake, wow we didn't want it to ever go away and of course we were in the car after jammin to some country music!!! I loved every minute we were together and it was always filled with laughter and smiles!!! Thanks for just makin me smile and laugh! I love you Niki!!! My prayers go out to your family!!!
