In memory of Nicole Marie Tobia, Dianne Russo lit a candle

Rest in peace Nicole

May the grace of our Father heal your hearts.

May her light shine on through those she loved.

Hi Nicole… Shannon here. You know, it’s funny reading this biography about you, because now I think I understand why your son “chose me”… we are very much alike! Not only do I dance like nobody is watching… but sing too! I love and collect fairies. I’m very care-free joyful… maybe too much. But my favorite color is pink! You have a lot of people mourning and sad over your passing, Nicole, I know you see that. I try and tell them that that’s not what you would have wanted! You are no longer suffering… and now are “at peace”. Heaven is the best place to be! I truly believe “there is life after death”… and I know you are now watching over everyone… their little guardian angel. Show them signs, Nicole, that you are with them. I wish we would have been able to meet face to face, I wish you would have been able to meet your grandchildren, but you know what… that’s ok! Everything happens for a reason and we cannot control/and or change the lives we were given… God knew your life before you were born and God made you perfect in his eyes. You served your purpose! I promise you I will forever love and cherish your first born son… and I promise you he’ll never be alone… until my very last breath. I will help him get through the pain of losing a parent and make sure he knows nothing “is his fault” and there’s nothing “he should have done better/he regrets”… because that’s unfortunately the emotions of grievance… and I know he loved you very much and tried his best. You will forever be missed and loved by many… but until you all meet again!

Rest easy Nicole. Praying you find happiness & comfort while in paradise.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
