I have very fond memories of Nik growing up. I haven’t seen him for quite some time, but memories flood back as if it were yesterday. Nik was a special park of my life during the good ole teen years. Spending time at the kitchen table talking with him and Omi. I’m a lucky gal to have known such special people.
Love,
Stacy
Sorry for your loss Elizabeth and family! Your dad was a great guy from the time I knew him. Losing a parent is a very hard thing, my mom passed in 2019 and its still so hard.
