Submitted by: Louise Phillips  Her face looked like this everyday except at the very end. Such a joy to all of us, she
lived more in thise 10 years than most people do in a lifetime and wise beyond her years.
She never saw bad in anyone, always something good in every person she met. Nicole died
in 2003, her Mother, Julie Morrissey had another baby in 2004. The baby was suppose to be
born on the anniversary date of Nicole's funeral, but the baby came two days early by the grace
of God. It is kind of scary as Nathan is the image of Nicole, features and the energy
that his sister had.
