Nicole, my precious Daughter,

I miss you more and more each day. Its been 6 years and I'm still not able
to clean out your room. I can picture you in it when I walk down the hall
and this brings me peace.

I know you're with us in spirit for you show us that you are through your
songs and the beautiful butterflies that come into your garden in our
backyard.

Yesterday our family celebrated your life with a party for you. This, along
with your birthday, we will have every year....... All of your cousins are
all having children now and some will be naming their children after you.
Your name will carry on in your memory.

I now in my heart I will see you in HEAVEN and this is what I can only look
forward to that gives me peace.

This poem says it all...

" I Carry Your Heart With Me" Your in my heart forever, Love Mom

 

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

 


 

 

Nicole,

No matter how many years go by. The memory of your smile, and the fun you and I used to have seem so fresh in my mind. ( Seems like its the only thing I can remember these days) Keeps me going Nicole, to this day. I miss you so much but am so grateful that I at least have some happy moments in my life I can reflect back on when times are tough.They still make me smile. You still make me smile. You have made me a better person. Until I see you again my angel.....

I love you,
Auntie Sheri

Nicole Miller Family,

I have never posted or wrote to this memorial before, but I wanted to let you all know that I think of Nicole and your family often. I was fortunate enough to meet Nicole and be with her on her 21st birthday in Chico, CA as my good friend, Rudy Sienega was dating Tiffney at the time. I was even fortunate enough to spend some time with you all during the days following September 11 to help in any way I could and it was very obvious that her spirit was with us throughout those days and still today. I think of her often and I am very grateful to have met her, albeit briefly.

I know that she has impacted me and many others in this way and today, on September 11, 2007, I wanted to make sure you knew that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Yours truly,

Don Rock

 

Nicole,

Your story and your sacrifice will not be forgotten. It's been 6 years since the lives of so many innocent people were taken from them for the evil beliefs of so few. I know you live on in the people like myself who will not forget you. Maybe we will meet someday after its my turn to say goodbye to this life. My prayers are with you and all your family.

Paul Norris

 

Nicole, you sweet sweet girl. It has been 6 years today, and yet your beauty stands still, frozen in time. That smile of yours will forever remain in our hearts, no matter how much time passes. You have touched so many lives around the world, many of whom you did not know. You have touched mine. Thank you for that. Thank you for being so brave and truly a hero. You are a beautiful angel now, and your family will be with you again one day. We are all hurting, and yet we know you are smiling. That brings so much peace to us. Please keep smiling Nicole....for eternity.
Thank you for touching our lives. You will always be remembered.

Remembering ... perhaps the greatest tribute any human being can extend another. For many are born into this world daily, and many depart. How one chooses to live, how one truly lives their life, is in the end, the greatest testament of their existence. Each time I visit this site -- and read the words of so many touched by Nicole's life, I celebrate the fact Nicole lived. Lived life to the fullest and in return, deeply touched the hearts and lives of so many dear to her.

Tonight, on the eve of the sixth anniversary, though I never knew Nicole, I celebrate her life, her spirit, and her memory. The testament she left for all of us ,,, to live, truly live each and every day to the fullest. I for one, take great comfort in the fact ... someone I never knew, never passed along the way, who died a hero, remains the reason I choose to remain. And the reason I celebrate life each day. May God provide Nicole's family a peace beyond all understanding and may everyone who knew her in life, and came to know her in death, be reminded ... each day is a gift. Make it count, and celebrate the every chance you have to love one another.

I feel your smile Nicole ... and remember.

 

God bless your daughter Nicole.
God bless you all, and god bless America.
We are with you.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow marks 6 years....and It still seems like it was yesterday....Nicole was my friend at Pioneer High School....though we didn't talk everyday just her smile would brighten up the classroom....she was a beautiful and talented young woman...and we all miss her dearly.....I went to the cemetary a couple years back before I moved to Idaho with flowers and said my good byes...It was one of the hardest things to do. She was such a great person that I kept telling myself no God wouldnt take her from us. It wasn't until I saw her headstone that I knew this was for real. I will always remember what happened on September 11 and so will the rest of the world....but most importantly I will always remember Nicole, not just for being a hero on the plane....but for the person she was.

Nicole, your an angel, a hero, and a true beautiful woman. may you rest in peace. tuesday marks the 6th year and I believe you will be near your family through this horrible time. God bless you.

Hello~
My name is Lige' Haab. I am a United Flight Attendant..(formerly Delta
during 9/11) and as usual, I go over the list of victims this time of year
to pay respect. For some reason, Nicole's name jumped out at me and I looked
at her memorial page. My heart just bled. I lost my sister in 1991 in a car
wreck (I am 38-was 21 at the time...or whatever the math is..:) but I know
the pain....siblings, mother...the whole thing. I watch United 93 and
cry...and say over and over.."I am so sorry..." ..for her, for you. But
then, I get up, go get my tiara (a fun birthday gift from my best friends
and yes it is a real tiara)...put it on, pour a glass of wine and toast. I
toast to life...to those souls...and to the families. Because when you look
in those eyes..and those of the crew, the other pax....they were all about
life and LOVE. I say a quiet prayer for you and all those this month..you
have a beautiful page for a beautiful daughter. And I will live my life
lovingly, with honesty, and with honor. She does not have hers, but I am
here. And I will live a life that she could be proud of...and I will do it
with a tiara. Something tells me that she would get a kick out of that.

And I will pray that my sister will find her in heaven...and just go say
hello.
God bless you all.

L.Haab

 

Please know that you are not alone in your grief, a
nation still mourns with you.

Hello,

This is a message for your family…I still can’t believe it’s been 6 years. As I drove to work this morning, I got emotional just thinking about everything that went on that morning at that exact time. Nicole has been used in so many people’s lives and has touched so many hearts. I went to school with Nicole and it still seems unreal that she was on that flight. She is a hero and has opened people’s eyes to who God really is. I’m so grateful to have known her and I am honored to have had such an amazing woman in this world. She will ALWAYS be remembered and is thought of often. I will always continue to pray for your family. I still weep for your loss. Have a wonderful day of celebration for the hero we have been blessed with! Can’t wait to see her in heaven! It will be BEAUTIFUL!!

T. Pare, Manteca, CA

Hi Cathy, Wayne and Family,

I don't know where to start and I'm a terrible typer and my spelling and grammar are the worst. I guess I'll start with my name Scott Dawson. Ok
Anyways I have never had the chance to talk to you about Nicole before. So I would love to take this opportunity to do so. It was funny seeing you guys at Costco a few weeks ago, because at that time I had been thinking about Nicole a lot. I think maybe a day before that I had a dream about her. The funny thing is I have had a few dreams about her. Nicole and I dated for about what a month in High School, wasn't the greatest relationship in the world but must have made a big impression on me.
I was dating a girl my Senior year at Pioneer, when a Sophomore baseball player told me this girl Nicole had a crush on me and pointed me out to her.
I've never been a huge love at first site guy but when I saw her I was floored. So I broke up with the girl I was seeing right away lol. But in High School that just opened up Pandora's Box the drama scene hit our relationship right away. But if .I had to do it all again I would.A few memories I still have about Nicole and I are, One night we went
to go get coffee and I had just started to drive my Mustang which was a stick, she had the coffee's in her lap and we started driving my skills with the stick were still a work in progress so as I started to shift into 2nd or 3rd I kinda stalled it and the hot coffee had spilled all over her lap. Oops,
this was one of our 1st dates. I was a klutz around her. Honestly I was the BIG SENIOR around campus, the Quarterback and Starting Pitcher I thought I was
tuff shit. But I never thought I was good enough for her. Her beauty and her laugh still floor me.
Another memory about her and I was at your guys house on St. Patty's day where I had for the 1st time Corned Beef and Hash (it was very good by the way) Nicole and I grabbed our gloves and were playing catch in the backyard (she had a better arm than me) and then I had to beat Little Wayne at a
game of Hockey on his Playstation.
And of course I have to talk about Senior Ball, she was my date obviously I remember walking up to your house to pick her up, and when she opened the door my jaw must have hit the ground, she was stunning. I felt like the coolest guy in school with her on my arm as my date. I remember taking
pictures at your place then driving over to Heidi's and taking more, just to drive to my Buddies house and take even more (you would think with all those pictures taken I'd have some). But even though we were blinded by all those lights
I know I didn't mind, and she was a trooper also.
One of the last memories I have of us was at MACY'S at Oakridge Mall. It had to have been a week before Sept. 11th, we were both in line buying
clothes. I had gotten her number and was going to give her a call sometime but never did. I wish I would have.
Although I didn't know Nicole real well, she did make an impression on me. I go talk to her at her bench at the Almaden Lake every Sunday. I enjoy going to Chilli's to eat not only for there awesome Margaritas but to go
see Nicole's picture up there. I listen to Country Music all the time now, and have since I dated Nicole (received a little abuse from friends but well worth it). I miss Nicole very much as I'm sure everyone else does. I know she
will have a lot of people saying prayers for her tomorrow I definitely will be one of them.
Don't know if this email helps at all, but it sure helps me. Look forward to seeing you guys again maybe at Costco or the Gym. Take care.

Scott Dawson

 

Dear Nicole,
It is the 6th anniversary of the day you sacrificed your life so that others would live. What a courageous and loving person you are! There >are so many people that miss and love you, even to this day. Your memory will live forever in the hearts of your family and people all over the globe, some that did not even meet you but have been touched by you over
the years. I lit a candle in the cathedral for you on Tuesday, and said a prayer. I got married in May and you were there in your own special way, I know that. I know you are at peace in Heaven.
Love, Erin.

God Bless you and your beautiful family, you are all in my prayers today. Nicole was a beautiful young woman and those who met her who were truely blessed. I am so happy to know I have that angel looking down upon us all.
God Bless

Good Morning

I walk the trail around Lake Almaden usually in the
morning. The day after 9/11 this year I saw the
balloon,flowers and note. When I got home I went to
the web site and read the memorial to Nicole and the
notes. You and your family are in my thoughts and
prayers. At the present time I am going through the
steps to get a bench installed on the
eastside(Winfield Av.) of the lake in Memory of our
son Brian Berryessa who was 27 years old and died this
year Feb.14,2007. Just like you and your family my
wife and I miss Brian very much and think about him
often.

Aloha Rich Berryessa

 

Happy Birthday in Heaven Nicole.....Heaven is so lucky to have you....I left a message years ago on your tribute site, and still want you to know that I haven't forgotten you and never well, as well as all the other heros of Sept 11th, 2001. Your family is awesome and somehow I know God directed me to your tribute site....I'm touched every time I visit.

God Bless you and your wonderful family,

Todd

 

Dearest Nicole:

Though we never met personally not a day goes by that I do not think of you, your family, and friends and the pain they have endured from your loss. I want you to know you are always remembered and missed. Today marks the 6th Anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks and still it only feels like yesterday that so many innocent life’s were taken. My heart goes out to you, your family, and friends. As I cannot even begin to imagine how each year around this time is unbearable for them. They love and miss you so much. We all do! We are so proud of you and the bravery you showed along with the rest of the passengers on Flight 93. You are all heroes in our eyes and you mustn’t ever forget that! Continue to watch over your dear Mother, who is now a friend of mine, and the rest of your family. To this day and always, when “One More Day” is played on the radio, I look up to heaven and think of you! Until we meet in heaven, God bless!

I visit the spot, in memory of Nichole, at Almaden Lake, every year on her birthday and also on Sept. llth besides other mornings when I walk around the lake and on my last visit I noticed there was a card with a poem and the memorial email address. It was nice to actually visit the site and see beautiful Nichole and her loving family. I will continue to pray for her always.

Sincerely, Barbara Gemmell

 

Hello, I was watching NBC's as it happened tribute to 9/11. I am a Bay Area resident and after the show looked up a website where I found California people who were lost that day. I work with local colleges, including West Valley College and Santa Clara University who both lost students, one including your daughter. My well wishes to the spirit of your family and to those who knew NIcole. Every 9/11 I will remember your daughter who was part of the greater South
Bay Area.

With Great Sorrow and Regards to Your Family and Nicole's
unconquerable spirit....

To Nicole's Family,

I am thinking of Nicole today, the anniversary of
9/11, and praying for you all on what has to be the
most difficult day. I often go and look at Nicole's
tribute and remember what a brave heroic beautiful
soul she was.
I know that she was so loved, it is evident by the
web site. Her life was a precious gift, and she
lives on as an angel to offer you comfort and peace.
God promises us that we shall all be together again
someday if we believe in Him. Nicole is waiting and
watching over those she loves, until the day of the
Lord shall come when there will be a glorious reunion.

Once again, my thoughts and prayers go out to
Nicole and her wonderful family, along with all of
those who have lost their lives or loved ones since
this began. You are not forgotten. God bless you all.

Remembering Nicole,

Diane

Dear Cathy,
I just wanted you to know that as always, you and your family are in my prayers. I just went to her memorial website and what you wrote moved me to tears. I can't even imagine how hard the last 6 years have been for you. I keep one of the pictures you gave me of Nicole framed on my bedside table and think of her often. (Especially when I see a butterfly). :-) She continues to be my inspiration. My inspiration to live with intention, to laugh often, and to love without limits. I still skydive often and always think of Nicole when I am up in the heavens dancing on the wind. Even though I never met her I feel that she is looking over me from heaven. And I will never forget her.
Best wishes,
Nicole Renee Miller

 

I ran across this site on a fluke a few years ago. For some reason, Nicole's picture stands out in my mind. Though I did not know Nicole, you can tell that she was a beautiful and kind young women. I visit this site from time to time because reading about Nicole leaves me inspired to live my life to the fullest even when times are tough and I am simply tired.

God bless the Nicole in Heaven and the Miller family.

I deciced to send this message to your family today, 6 years later.
I wish I could reach out to all the people affected by the attacks on 9/11.
Watching all the tributes and news stories today have brought back so many emotions,
I can only image what you must be feeling today and I want to tell you how sorry I am
for your loss. I randomly came upon this site and I am glad I did. You have done a
great job showing the rest of the world what a wonderful person Nicole was. I hope you
have been able to move forward and the pain if not has lessened has become more bareable.
God Bless
