CLOSURE FOR NICOLE (N,Q,D,Y )

Thanks for the update Alex, she is certainly missed here.  She was always a ray of sunshine, it is sad that she is gone.

Thanks for posting this Alex. I always enjoyed reading her posts. It's very sad to know she is gone. 

Alex,

    Thank you and the other OGR members very much for the long exhausting search for finding what happened to Nicole. She is very much missed by many in the model railroad community and OGR forum members. Happy Rails to Nicole in heaven, you're missed by many.

Dana

As we thought...

RIP Nicole.

I still pause when seeing one of her replies in an old thread.

Thank you, Alex.

Thank you Alex for posting this about Nicole. She loved her trains and this Forum. R.I.P Nicole.

Rest In Peace Nicole and may God bless your beautiful soul. Very sad again.

Thank you Alex. I did not converse much with Nicole, but always read her posts. She is missed.

Well, it's official. Thanks for your diligence on this Alex.

Alex - Thank you for the follow up. Nichole will certainly be missed.

God Bless her soul !  She is playing with her new trains in Heaven !

Thank you Alex for all of the work that you did to find out what happened to Nicole,always enjoyed reading her posts.

Thanks for the update Alex. We all assumed this was the case but it's helpful finally knowing for sure.

Alex thanks for the update.  Very sad news indeed.  Puts things in perspective.

Alex and Ray,

Thank-you both for your efforts in finally learning about Nicole.  It certainly is a relief to have closure in knowing what happened.  We all miss her as well as other fellow forumites who are no longer with us.

Yeah, same here on both counts. RIP distant but much valued friend.

R.I.P.  NICOLE.

Rest in peace Nicole-and thanks for your input.

RIP.....sad news but good to know.....thanks

R.I.P Nicole!!!!!

Alex thank you for the update.  I was just thinking of Nicole the other day as I thought about past forum members who no longer post for one reason or another.

Thanks Alex.  Still a sad conformation.  

Alex, while maybe expected, still sad news.  Thanks for letting us know.

A beautiful ray of life, I'm so glad she chose to spend a bit of her life with us.

God Bless you Nicole.

Very sad!

She certainly kept up the fighting spirit, never wishing to seek pity or draw attention to her own problems here.  I certainly hope that, in some small way, her involvement here, and any amount of camaraderie we we able to offer, helped lift her in rough times.    

Words cannot adequately express how sad I was to learn of Nicole's passing. While not unexpected given the state of her progressively worsening health, I really hoped that one or more of the experimental treatments she had undergone would yield positive results. I lost contact with her at the worst possible time, and will forever regret that having happened. I know she had hoped to be able to pay at least one visit to York, and I had assured her that I would do the best I could to help make that happen. Unfortunately, time did not cooperate. Nicole was a tremendously positive, productive, and valued contributor to this forum, and a true asset to this hobby. I, along with many others here, are grateful that she was a part of our little family. She most certainly will not be forgotten.

I've lost some train friends to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, heart attack etc. It's better to remember the good parts of past friendships and not dwell on the sad parts.

No-one gets a guarantee on longevity. My brother died of cancer at age 25.

Nicole was a lively and interesting participant on the forum.

Thanks for that post, Alex.

For someone I never actually met ..... I sure loved her.

(How many people can you honestly say that about?)

She was a fantastic person who I had the pleasure to speak with  via email on many  occasions . Her passion and  knowledge for trains was amazing. I remember she was looking for a 1957 Chevy model car, I had a few on my layout and one or two brand new ones in the box. I emailed her and told her I would gladly ship one  to her , she was thrilled when she received it. 

Not sure if everyone on the forum knows what her forum name stood for.

Not Quite Dead Yet 

Nicole you're missed very much, rest in peace 

Alex 

Nicole was a beacon of positiveness and helped define the joy of life for many of us. Seeing her image in a previous post on this thread brought her loss home to me again.  Alex, thank you for letting us know what happened to her.  She was a beautiful spirit and we are all a little less without her, which I guess was her gift to all of us on the Forum.

Thank you Alex for posting. Always a shame when someone passes - sound like Nicole was a super person.

Amen to all of the above.

Well, it's official. Thanks for your diligence on this Alex

I second your efforts as well.

Larry

Alex,

     Thanks for bring closure on this. Nicole is now in God's hands which is a good place to be.

R.I.P. Nicole, what a lovely woman who was a friend to all of us on this board. 

Thank you Alex and Ray for making a connection and filling in the blanks.

Nicole was a friendly, positive contributor to this forum in spite of her health issues.

She's in a better place now, and I'm glad I was able to enjoy interacting with her on the forum while she was with us.
