Remembering Nick... My dear friend and Hero

[canfield22]

 

  I still can't believe that Nick is gone, seems like just yesterday we were talking and laughing. Nick was such a sweetheart that anyone could truely count on. As me and my family stood on the streets today waving flags in memory of my friend Nick, all I could think of was the memories we had. I remember the days in High school when we would walk down the halls, eat lunch together and hang out after school let out. Nick was the class clown, he was so hilarious. Even on your worst days Nick could always put a smile on your face.

   Even before Graduation Nick had signed up for the Army, he was so proud of it and he was mentioned for it at the Graduation ceremony.  I know that Nick didn't go to become a hero, He went to help others.  I still can't believe he's gone, I don't want to believe he's gone.

  Middleville is a sad town tonight as tonight Nick was flown back home to be laid to rest. Nick may you rest in peace and thank you for serving our country, you gave your life for all of us and for that we're truely thankful!
