Heaven gained one strong, passionate and fierce woman on Friday and she will be dearly missed here on earth. Thank you for the rules you so strongly urged Nicole to follow which trickled down to us as young kids. We may not have understood them then, but I can honestly say that as I grew and I myself became a mother, it all became so bright and clear. I'll hold the moments of laughter we shared on 9th street close to my heart and I will forever be grateful to you for welcoming Andie into your life and keeping an eye on her for us after school. Send strength to your Nicole and Andrei because they need it right now more than ever. And continue to watch over our kids like you did so beautifully for us when we were kids. You will be forever missed.

With all our love and respect,
Susana, Jason and Andie Saitta
