She will be with all of you, always and forever. To all her friends, she will be with you as well, a bright memory in your hearts.

Dear Arlene and the rest of the Franco and Petrucci families, I only know Arlene and never met Nikki or the rest of your families but I cannot imagine the heartache all of you feel. I have experienced loss in my life but not through this type of horror and senselessness. I know Arlene and know that any grandchild of hers would be kind and loving and her loss a loss to the world. Know that I am thinking of you and wishing you peace and love.

I sorry for your loss. I met Nikki when she worked at Carlo's Bakery. She would come into the bagel shop next door where I worked every morning to get some coffee and breakfast. She was very polite and beautiful and I was so happy when she said she was leaving to pursue her dream of being a pastry chef. The world will seriously miss her and her sparkly personality.

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
