Diagnosis of another "RARE" childhood cancer that affects teens and people over 50. Even rarer in girls,OSTEOSARCOMA July 10, 2003
Nikie fought her battle for three years. She was in hospice care, terminally ill for almost one year. NIKIE HAS WON THE BATTLE OCTOBER 20, 2005. She is no longer having to deal with Dr. visits, and everything that goes with cancer anymore. Including the pain and torture that was invloved. SHE IS CANCER FREE.

NIKIE, I MISS YOU EVERY SECOND OF EVERDAY, NOW, FOREVER AND ALWAYS. I LOVE YOU MOM

WHEN ASKED “WHO IS NIKIE” ONE CAN ONLY REPLY THIS WAY:
N- NURTURING BY THE EFFECT SHE HAD TOWARD OTHERS AND THE CONCERN SHE SHOWED THOSE SHE LOVED AND THOSE WHO LOVED HER. ESPECIALLY HER CARE AND LOVE OF BABIES AND SMALL CHILDREN.
I- INTEREST SHE SHOWED TO JEHOVAH GOD AND THE INTEGRITY SHE DISPLAYED BY STANDING FIRM IN HER BELIEFS OF THE BIBLE AND THE STANDING SHE MADE IN HER HEART, TO NOT WAIVER FROM THAT BELIEF, THROUGH ALL HER PAIN AND PRESSURE SHE WITHSTOOD.
K- KIND HER KIND HEART, SHE WORE ON HER SLEEVE AND LEFT IT WIDE OPEN~~FOR EITHER LOVE IN RETURN OR PEOPLE TO WIPE THEIR FEET ON, BUT TO HER IT WAS WORTH IT, SHE ALWAYS WAS FORGIVING.
I- INFLUENCE SHE HAD ON OTHERS. THE WAY HER SMILE AND HER HEART TOUCHED THE LIVES OF SO MANY, OLD FRIENDS AND NEW ONES SHE MET ALONG THIS PAST JOURNEY OF HERS. SHE EFFECTED SO MANY AND TAUGHT SO MUCH TO THOSE WHO KNEW HER AND LOVED HER.
E- ENJOYMENT SHE HAD OF LIFE AND LIVING. BEING WITH HER FRIENDS AND THOSE SHE LOVED AND LOVED HER. SHE BROUGHT JOY INTO EVERYTHING SHE DID, BY HER ACTIONS OR HER SILLY COMMENTS.
A COMMENT FROM HER MOM:
PLEASE NEVER FORGET MY PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD, NIKIE. PLEASE DON’T STOP THINKING OF HER AND REMEMBERING HER. HER LIFE MEANT SOMETHING, SHE WAS HERE FOR A REASON. SHE WAS A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER EVERY SECOND OF EVERYDAY. UNTIL WE SEE HER AGAIN, KEEP GOING AS SHE WOULD, NEVER GIVING UP IN THE DAILY STRUGGLE AND BATTLES OF THIS WICKED SYSTEM WE ARE IN NOW. REMEMBER THE PRIZE!! KEEP ON BOUNCING BACK LIKE SHE DID. REMEMBER HER WITH LAUGHTER, AND AS SHE WOULD SAY “PICTURE ME ROLLIN’. ” HUG YOUR BABIES SUPER TIGHT, AND A HUG TO THEM FROM NIKIE.
LOTS OF LOVE AND THANKS
NIKIE'S MOM FOREVER, CINDY

Journal
Sunday, January 20, 2008 9:34 PM CST Its been a long/short 27 months. It seems like yesterday and like a life time. We were changing channels on tv tonight and flipped to "School of Rock". I couldn't watch it. I saw about 1 minute and asked Paul to change it. It was the movie Nikie watched over and over again in the hospital, especially when the Drs. told her bad news. It made her laugh. The other day I drove by her orthodontist, and it set memories off. Good ones but they made me cry too. It just hits at different times. I past the dentist before and watched the movie since then. You never can tell what will happen when and how you will feel. Its so confusing and hard to get used too.
I want to thank Linda Champa and the others that follow Nikie's site. I know I don't update often enough. I think I am at the point that nothing is changing anymore. Its all the same, new and old feelings. I don't want to bore you with the everyday feelings that constantly are there. I appreciate everyone checking on us. The main thing and the hardest thing is the feeling Nikie will be forgotten. It is hard to think about her being forgotten. I know she won't be to quite a few, there will always be that hole in my heart.
Not much else to say.
Thanks for checking
I love you all
Love Nikies mom, Cindy
