Kelly & Laura, We are all just so sadden and devastated at your loss. Niki was constantly a ball of energy and always trying something new... usually thanks to you guys. Like her first float trip with you in Utah where she emerged from the 2+ week rafting trip a changed person.
She was a better person because of you two. And you were each a better person because of her. God Bless Nicole, and Godspeed.
We love you guys.
