Q: What was Nicole really good at?
A: Nicole
I knew you for only a few years while we were in the Bollywood Axion troupe together but your vivacious energy, big smile and warm, loving demeanor always stood out. You lit up the class just as you lit up the stage. I know you’re dancing up there, smiling down at us.
Much love to the whole family

Q: What will you never forget about Nicole?
A: Nicole, your spirit and your smile were so beautiful. I loved the times I got to spend with you on my Mom & Steve’s boat. Watching you laugh and joke with my boys, while Brad tossed them around brought me great happiness!
From the moment I met you, I knew you were an amazing human and that you would bring joy to all who were around you! Especially Brad. Thank you for making him so happy!

With tears in my eyes and a broken heart I can’t help but to smile when I think about the memories we shared. Like our theme music “all you can eat “by the fat… that just meant we was ordering everything on the menu…Or when I had too much to drink at the airport & you was there to help me along. Our deep and personal conversation. I’m going to miss you, but I know that you are free. Free to be the beauty that you are. I love you always & forever my friend ❤️

Nicole, my beautiful friend. You are one of the only people I've ever met who always just made everyone around them feel good. You've always had this inner light to you that made you shine brighter than anyone.
You've been a best friend to me since we were thirteen and copying each other's work in Spanish class. You were one of the first friendly faces in high school and became such a solid and integral part of my core friend group.
We made so many great memories! Our trip to Spain, our road trip songs and full-length musicals, our trips to Montauk and Ocean City. All the times you watched horror movies with me - sometimes even against your will, when I needed a distraction. I still apologize for forcing you to see The Grudge! The Daredevil Dive, where you were the only one brave enough to pull the ripcord.
You were my bridesmaid at my wedding, held my babies when they were born, and I have loved you always. You made every happy moment of my life shine brighter and made the tough ones more bearable.
I will miss our talks and our book and TV show recommendations. I know that you are watching, and the only way to get through right now is by knowing that someday I will get to see you again, hear your laugh, and hug my friend.
I love you and will miss you forever, Nic. Until we meet again...

Nicole, my old friend. We started out as neighbors in 1985 and became friends in our early adulthood in the mid 90’s. We would call one another to see if either of us had plans for the weekend. If not, we made plans to see live music in Manhattan somewhere mostly CBGB’s. We saw some great bands during those years. Sometimes we would see each other on the subway and walk home together from Union Tpke and have some deep conversations. My memories of our friendship has always and will always be treasured. Although we had lost touch over the years, I would always get an update on you and your life when I visited Queens from your Mom and Dad. I know you will be missed by everyone who has crossed paths with you. You were always one of the kindest and smartest souls I’ve ever met. Rest eternally my dear friend. Always with love.

Dearest Nic,
I vividly remember the first time we met, both of us on that bus heading to our London apartment. We were in the same study abroad program, completely unaware that we would become roommates and, even more divine, friends for the next 27 years.
I will miss our legendary hangouts—endless hours spent wandering around NYC, eating, drinking, and dancing. What I'll miss the most is your endless optimism and sheer joy for life.
I find comfort in knowing that wherever you are now, you are healthy, happy, and reunited with your beloved grandparents.
What an incredible privilege to have known you and been a witness to your life.
With all my love and light,
Neel

Nicole, entraste en mi corazón en tu tercer año escolar. Conocì a esa niña dulce y cariñosa que siempre fuiste hasta ahora, no solo conmigo, sino con todo el que te trataba. También recuerdo con la fe que te arrodillabas delante de la Virgen Marìa en la capillita de la iglesia Queen of Peace. Parecías un ángel. Recuerdo con cariño que nos saludaste a Pedro y a mi en MSK, y le llevaste a Pedro a la puerta del médico que le tocaba ese día. Nos orientaste para que fuéramos a comer al sexto piso que había una cafetería muy buena, siempre ayudando a los demás, olvidándote de ti. Ese dìa, le dijiste a Pedro que todo iba a salir bien porque eran muy buenos doctores, y así fue. Solo siento que tu tan buena y paciente no tuviste esa misma suerte. Pero parece que mi Diosito te quería ya con Él. Sabemos que desde el cielo velarás por todos los que quedamos aquí en la tierra y a tus padres y familiares que sufren una separación muy dura. ¡Siempre te recordaremos!

Nicole is, hands down, one of the sweetest souls I've ever met in my life. When I think of her, it's always of her beautiful wide smile, kind, empathetic eyes, and joyful spirit. My fondest memories of her are from our fun hangouts in her parents' basement as kids, devouring movies in between dips in the pool and eating hot dogs or snacks that Fresa made us. Her love of film and music was so contagious, and it was almost impossible not to love what she loved. She loved so much and so fully. Our favorite movie as kids was "Newsies," which we sang and danced to all the time. Speaking of dancing, she was an exquisite dancer. I always admired her performances from the sidelines as a child. There was one solo performance that she did to Celine Dion's "All By Myself" that moved anyone who witnessed it to tears. She had that effect on people -- she captivated us all. Though I didn't get to see her much over the last few decades (during our adulthood), when our paths did cross, she was always so warm and loving, as if no time had passed. I'm so fortunate to have known her and am grateful that she touched my life deeply. I will never forget her warmth or her smile. We love you, Nicole, and will miss you.

I am so sorry to hear that the world has lost such a beautiful soul. I hadn't seen you in many years but our time living in London all those years ago was one of the most special experiences of my life. I have so many fond memories of our adventures abroad and was so delighted to see you not long after in Rochester. Wishing you and your family love and peace.

I'm so sorry we lost touch. You were always such a wonderful person, and I've always carried such fond memories. I imagine anyone who knew you would say the same.
Much love and strength to your family.

Nicole! Nicole! Nicole! I know the flights of angels eased your journey to heaven because your love and kindness touched so many. And that easy smile and that giggle. I grew up with you, wanting to dance like you, wanting to know all the music you listened to, wanting to get my tragus pierced because you got your tragus pierced. The Robin Hood Prince of Thieves soundtrack sometimes pops into my head randomly and I think of your audition dance to get into Cardozo, but you were too smart so it had to be Townsend Harris. Even though we have been in and out of each others lives for 20 years, you are family to me…the cousin who knows you before you even know yourself. Because that’s what happens when you spend your formative years with someone. May you be happy. May you be safe. May you be at ease. May you be healthy in heaven. Love, Maria Goyanes
