Nick,
It's been over a week and I've only just worked out what to write. The shock will gradually go, it's just the aching pain that is left. Sixth form's not the same without you, but we're pulling together, and unfortunately learning the hard way that 'life is too short'. I know you hated falling out with people, and that you saw the good in everyone, so I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that all of us in Sixth Form are there for each other, and are following your example. It's crazy that it takes something like this to put things into perspective.

You know I miss you, and this summer was the best ever, we had so much fun! That day on the beach was great, and I reckon that hole we all dug in the sand will still be there! Our get - together's at 'The Bull' are priceless, and are some of the funniest times we had together, we were proper little regulars at that pub! My birthday was a great day too. I don't think anyone has ever made me feel as special, as the way you made me feel that day. I loved that necklass and I still do, and I finally understand the true meaning of it - thank you.

I thought people like you were only fictional characters. Surely no-one could be as talented, caring, generous, intelligent, funny, willing, committed and loving as you were, I'd only come across those kind of people in fairy-tales, that was until i met you. Our Knight in shining armour {or possibly a football kit!}

I'm extremely grateful that you were in my life, you meant so much to me and you still do. You'll never be forgotten, and I think we will all strive to be more like you, and embrace life with the enthusiasm you put into everything you did. I just know that if I ever find another boy who treats me half as well as you did, I'll be the luckiest girl on the planet. But it'll be tough to beat you.

Thank you Nick, just for being you!
I'm positive that this is not it, and i'll wait in hope that I'll see you again, and in the mean time when I feel sad, I'll cuddle 'Ted' who still sits on my bed.

Love as always

I first got to know nick properly when i was invited to the Montfort for his birthday. He loved playing pool and was very good at it too, infact i think he beat everybody that night including me! Since then myself, Nick, Ros & Rob all went out together on a regular basis & soon become very good friends. Nick was the most nicest guy i ever met - he was kind, caring, considerate, cute and a very good listener, you could always rely on him for support. I shall miss him dearly, he will never be forgotten he was so very much loved by all. My heart also goes out to the family during this tragic time.

I first met Nick at work when I offered him a lift to Rob's 21st birthday party. In the car on the way home we got chatting and from that moment, he became one of the most important people in my life. I feel totally lost without his texts, hugs and kisses. He made me (and pretty much everyone else) feel so very special. He had a wonderful quality in that he listened to what you said and always knew the right thing to say at the right time.

We had such a laugh when we went to the Montfort for his birthday with some of the Sava friends and he, Rob and my mate Sharon, made my birthday in September the best ever - we all got very drunk on cocktails and spent the whole night dancing round each other. Can't believe I'm not going to see his cheeky face again, or that he wont be able to try and pinch my chocolate when we were next going to see Reading play.

Nick - such a shame I never got to see you in that fireman's outfit!! And I think you still owe me 195 kisses!!! Went to see Rob yesterday, darling and he is totally devastated, but between us, me and Sharon (and you from above) we will get him through this. You know how much he loved you - I told you often enough and I think you believed me eventually. Hope you know that I loved you too.

You never did tell me what was on your list - you know that you were top of mine.

Your driving was coming on so well - you would have passed your test - and I am pleased you took my advice for once!!!! Will miss you driving me round the car park at Sava.

Thank you for your texts - one in particular - and your phone calls, for talking, listening, laughing, crying, loving, dancing, hugging, kissing, for Freddie and for all the chocolate you bought me, but most of all, thank you for being you.

FF - u know what that means!!

Always there for you.
