Dear DeChurch family,
I am so very saddened by Nicky’s passing; even though I haven’t seen her for so many years, the memories are clear and good. I also remember the level of closeness your family shares, and am thinking in particular of Liz and Nicky and this time, and how difficult her absence will be for all of you. You have my complete sympathy, as does her immediate family (Alderson). I think of you all often and cherish the good times we shared, and I know Nicky must have cherished hers. God bless you all and may those memories bring you to peace.
