My precious Nicole, I miss you more each day.
I miss your presence in our house each day.
Your beautiful smile, your cute laugh, working out
at the gym together,spending time together at Starbucks
and sipping on our Chai Tea lattes and you just being you.
You, Nicole, Tiffney and lil Wayne have always been my pride and joy
and the most important in my life and now a piece of me
is gone forever here on earth.I know we will be together in eternity
and you are in a better place but we all still miss you deeply.
I have to keep going on for your sister and brother and I know
you want us to continue on living as if you were here and I'm trying,
but everyday is a struggle.
I pray to God that He will comfort us and give us all strength.
Until were together again, have a great time in heaven...
Love forever,
Your mother

"How I Love Thee, My Nicole"

When the thoughts of you come into my mind
Its as if a breeze has passed through our rose garden and the sweet savory I smell

The taste of roses upon my tongue bring the sweetness of your memory to my mind

It comes upon me as the morning dew weighs the roses down

Smooth and pleasant are the thoughts of you, as the petals of a rose

And once again I am nourished with your love

Dedicated in memory of Nicole Carol Miller

To my baby sister Nicole,

When I think of you, I think of your unjudging kindness,
your love for life, and your beautiful smile.
I think of the way you smell, your laugh, and most of all your touch.
You had a mystical way of brightening up someone's darkest day.
We experienced life together, through good and bad times.
You were always right by my side. You are my baby girl and always will be.
I loved growing up with you, from childhood to becoming young women.
We were two sisters who loved camping, hiking, playing with makeup, riding horses,
and of course, boys. How I will miss those days! But most of all, when you and I laughed
together, it took me into another world. It was a world without pain.
It was as if I could experience the sweetness of heaven with you. Nicole,
you are my soul sister, and will always be a part of me and I, a part of you.
Your courage and strength against the terrorists of United Flight 93 will never be forgotten.
You are my hero and an American hero.

Until we one day meet again, you will be in my heart and thoughts
for as long as I live of this earth.
Enjoy heaven, you deserve it.

With all my love
your big sis- Tiffney xoxoxo

 

Nicole,

Thank you for the wonderful memories.
You were a special person. We loved the special way
you treated everyone, your great smile, your sweet hugs
and kisses, and your wonderful sense of humor.
It was great to be your parents. We thank the Lord for allowing us
to have you in our life for 21 years. Enjoy Heaven, Sweetie, and one day
we will be there to join you.

We Love You and Miss You Much...

Dad & Cath


 

To My Angel Nicole,

I love you so much, my sweet baby girl.
I have lost a daughter on earth, and heaven
has gained an angel. God chose you to become a hero
in your name for all of us to believe in Him.
We will be together soon, but until then, may God take care of you.
I'm glad you are at peace.
I Love You,

Your Mother


 

God chose you to prove there are such things
as angels on earth.

We Love You.

Your sister Tiffney and brother Wayne.


 

NICOLE WAS MY BEST FRIEND FOR 8 YEARS. WE GREW UP TOGETHER AND SHARED SO MANY MEMORIES WITH EACHOTHER THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT.
I DIDN'T KNOW NICOLE WAS IN NEW YORK ON VACATION BUT ON SEPTEMBER 11 I HAD THE WORST FEELING THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. MY HEART WENT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES THAT MORNING AND THEIR FAMILIES BUT AT THE SAME TIME I FELT A FEELING OF RELIEF THAT I DID NOT KNOW ANYONE OVER THERE AT THE TIME. BUT STILL I FELT A VERY HEAVY WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS ALL MORNING AT WORK AS IF SOMETHING CLOSE TO ME WAS WRONG. IT WAS A FEELING I HAD NEVER HAD BEFORE. AND I JUST FIGURED IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. WHEN HALFWAY THROUGH MY WORK DAY I WAS TOLD TO GO TO THE OFFICE I FOUND MY FRIENDS MOTHER THERE SAYING SHE NEEDED TO TALK TO ME, THAT SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAD HAPPENED, AS SHE WALKED ME OUTSIDE. WHEN I GOT OUTSIDE I SAW MY MOM, MY SISTER, AND MY FRIEND STANDING ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. I RAN TO MY MOM SCREAMING, "WHAT'S WRONG WHAT HAPPENED?!" AND THE FIRST THING SHE SAID WAS "NICOLE! NICOLE WAS ON THE PLANE!" I WENT HYSTERICAL I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY? WHY WAS SHE ALL THE WAY OVER THERE? WHY WAS SHE ON THAT FLIGHT? WHY NICOLE?
THAT WHOLE DAY WAS JUST A BLUR FOR ME. I CRIED TILL I DIDN'T HAVE ANY TEARS LEFT. THIS EXPLAINED WHY I FELT SO EERIE ALL MORNING. BUT I STILL HAD THE HEAVY WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS. THAT NIGHT A CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL WAS HELD IN A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK WHERE MANY FAMILIES GATHERED TO PRAY FOR THE FAMILIES AND THE LIVES THAT WERE LOST. PEOPLE WERE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS AND THEIR PRAYERS AND SOMETHING SUDDENLY CAME OVER ME AND I JUST BLURTED OUT "MY BEST FRIEND! MY BEST FRIEND NICOLE MILLER WAS ON FLIGHT 93" AND I JUST CONTINUED ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVED HER AND HOW MUCH I WILL MISS HER. AND I SOON AS I GOT DONE TALKING I HAD THIS FEELING OF CLOSURE AND WEIGHT GENTLY LIFTING OFF MY SHOULDERS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. IT WAS AS IF NICOLE WAS THERE WITH ME UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TELL HER HOW I FELT AND IN A SENSE SAY GOOD-BYE.
MY HEART GOES OUT TO HER FAMILY THEY WERE LIKE MY SECOND FAMILY. NICOLE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND IN MY PRAYERS. THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER AND TELL HER I LOVE HER. AND I KNOW THAT SHE IS WITH GOD AND WE WILL SEE EACHOTHER AGAIN IN HEAVEN. I LOVE YOU NICOLE AND YOU WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE MY BEST FRIEND!!!

To My Dear Sister Cathy,

Every time I think back on our lives with Nicole,
I keep coming back to the little girl with the big
glasses that seemed too big for her face.
She was the SWEETEST little girl that you could know.
I remember all the camp outs with Dave, Tiffney and Nicole
when she was little. Well, that little girl with the big glasses
turned out to be SO beautiful, like I knew she would,
not only on the outside, but on the inside too.
It is hard to understand how she ended up being on that plane that day.
She was supposed to take a flight the night before and out of several
other flights she could have chosen from to take home,
she chose Flight 93.

It is very strange how things happen sometimes,
but now that sweet little girl that warmed our hearts down here on earth
is now warming up hearts in Heaven. God has a beautiful Angel in Nicole,
and some day we will all be together again in Heaven with Nicole and our
Mother.
Now Nicole knows her Grandmother for the first time, and the thought of that
makes my heart warm. Nicole's death has not been in vain: for not only has it brought
our Nation together, it has brought US closer together, and there is nothing more
important in this world than Family.
My heart aches for you, Cathy. I love you VERY MUCH and TOGETHER
we WILL ALL get through this.

I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH,

Your Little Sister,

Diane

 

Nicole was my cousin through marriage.
I remember her always being happy and smiling.
My heart goes out to my Cousin Wayne,
and his wife Cathy. Also to my cousin Wayne Jr,
and his sister Tiffney.
I have no words to make your pain go away,
but I pray to God to give you all peace, and the strength to go on!
Nicole will never be forgotten!
Love your cousin Ricky Hernandez

Nicole,

You can't imagine how hard it is
for me to write this to you when it
seems like just yesterday you were
only a phone call away.
I can't help but still see you in all your
colors growing up. There has never
been another person that has decorated
their life with every style and trend possible.
I watched you grow thru each phase of life with
such grace and beauty. Everyday always seemed
like a new adventure for you. I can still hear your giggle,
see your smile and feel the warmth of your hugs.

We (me and your cousins Joshua, kameron and ryan)
looked thru our photos albums the other night and
I realized that in almost every picture, you were by my side.
Are you still even now?

At Christmas I put a picture of
Tim Mcgraw with yours. I know
how much you loved him!! You and I
had soooo much fun going to his concerts together.

Thank you for sharing those times as well as so many
others with me.

Nicole, I wish I could have been there with you that day.
Why hadn't you told me you were going away?
Then at least I could have said "good bye".
Why weren't you home in bed like I thought you were?
God I miss you so much.

Where there used to be so much happiness
there is now so much grief. Things that myself
and all of the family used to find fun has now become a chore.
I know you are in a better place, but your death has taken so much life.

There are just so many things I want to say to you,
but I guess I'll have to do so on another day.
Today it's just too painful.
With all my love yesterday, today and always,

Your favorite Auntie, Sheri

 

Nicole was my cousin. Seeing her at the Christmas parties,
the get-togethers, and growing up, I know I'll miss her horribly.
My heart goes out to Cathy, Wayne, Wayne jr., Tiffany and the
whole family. I love you guys. Keep your heads up,
however difficult that may be. We'll all see her again someday.
God bless you all, and God bless America.

Amber


 

Nicole, I just wanted to tell you that I love you, and I am so sorry that we didn't stay as close as we were when we were little. You, Michael, Tiffney, and I had a lot of fun back then, at you're Dad's house swimming and the other things we all 4 used to do together. I am glad though, that you got to meet and hold my youngest little girl Haley Christine. It would have been a shame if the girls would have never met you at all. I loved being your cousin, and I hope to meet again one day in the wonderful place we call Heaven, because, we all know that if there is such a place you are there definitely. Until then just remember Michael, My Dad, Mom, and I all love you and miss you.

Love Always Your Cousin, La Donna
