In loving memory of Nicholas...

Remember the nightmare that evolved in July that culminated on July 27, 2008?
Childangel lost her beloved son when he lost his battle with hep c.
He fought the good fight, and did so with dignity and humor all the way to the end.  
He was hospitalized because his lungs were compromised and they had to change his nasal cannula to a face mask to help him breathe. When they put  the oxygen mask over his face he looked at Elaine and said  "Luke Sywalker, I am your father!"
(gotta love his sense of humor:)
Please pay tribute to Nick and his mom, this forum supported her through his illness, and  treatments, and losing him hurt us all....

PS: Hi to all the wonderful people I've met through this forum! Love you all!

None of us will ever forget the brave fight of Nick and Elaine.  Nobody could have done more to see their child through such a horrible ordeal and the impression it made will never go away. I think it has helped a lot of us be better parents and appreciate our children even more. Even my children know who Nicholas is, they will never forget either.

There are alot more folks out here who will always carry you both in our hearts than you will ever imagine.

Love Deb

Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do here. Your bravery and Nick's are something I aspire to and hope I never need. As a parent myself, I was extremely upset and truly at a loss for words two years ago. Please accept my belated condolences.

Elaine, I'll always remember Nick's battle and your enduring strength and kindness.  You both will always have a place in my heart. Those were sad, terrible days, but seeing the outpouring of love and support you both inspired will be something that we can all carry with us forever.

Hi Elaine-
As Goofy said, you have been the model of grace.
I am thinking of you and your son nick, it sounds like he was quite a young man and he was lucky to have you by his side.
I know you will never forget, but I hope it gets a little easier and you have peace.
We are lucky to have you in our lives,
