Nicole Jane Napolitan

Sweetheart, you were an angel in disguise when you came into this world. Always an athlete from middle school to high school. Graduated from McCaskey in 2010 and went onto YTI to be a Dental Assistant. So many lives lit up being in your presence, you always and forever will be the reason so many smiled. You changed so many people more than you realize and I know that will continue through your Organ donation to the Gift of Life.

You were taken from us far before your time. You fought for your life until you could no longer fight. Far too big for this world; from your huge smile, brilliantly bright green eyes and very contagious personality and laughter. You’ll forever be remembered our green eyed angel. Nikki will live on through everyone she has ever met. Her amazing mother Stephanie L. Napolitan, big sister Shayla Napolitan, two younger siblings Kendra Napolitan and Wyatt Oatman and a precious niece Marley Jane Napolitan.

The Hayes family, Uncle Steve and wife Rebecca Hayes, Cousins Maddie, Taylor and Kennedy Hayes. The Adams family, Grandma Bonnie Adams, Aunt Jennifer Adams, Cousins Jaquan and Jordan Peaker, Aunt Sarah Adams and Cousin Kyle Adams and former Aunt, Jennifer Bauer. The Kendig family, Great Grandmother Dona Jane Kendig as well as many loving great aunts, uncles and cousins. The Napolitan family; Uncle Noel and wife Joetta Napolitan, Aunt Rebekeh and Aunt Katrina. So many more!

Nikki’s love was not only for her family but also her friends. She was one with the earth; she loved looking at the stars, dancing in the rain and a variety of music.

“Through the world she loved so much, It’s not Goodbye, It’s see ya later”

*There will be two celebrations of Nikki’s life coming soon. Please check Facebook for updates*

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your daughter and sister. I trust that the days and weeks ahead will give you opportunities to remember Nikki and to give thanks for her life and legacy. Though you grieve, may you not grieve as those who have no hope.

To the family and friends of Nikki:  I didn’t know Nikki either but the loss of this beautiful young woman has touched my heart.  My condolences to you all as you go through the days ahead.  Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel for you all but please know that Nikki’s spirit will always be with you.  Hold tight to memories for comfort and lean on each other for strength.  With sympathy, Patricia Nissley and family

I too don’t know this family personally, but have been
connected to this tragedy from day one. I don’t know
The details, nor do I wish to know them. As a mother of two teenaged girls, my heart
and soul is somehow connected to this loss. A beautiful life cut short for a reason
that only He understands. To the family, my deepest condolences and know that you are not alone, ever. Take comfort in your friends and family, and may your beautiful daughter, sister and friend rest in eternal peace.

My deepest sympathy to your entire family.  I had the privilege of knowing Nicky from middle school.  She was a "shining star" in my homeroom and a "dedicated student" in my classroom.  As she grew and developed during this period of her life, she reached out to those around her with a "smile" and "optimism" which shone through those beautiful green eyes.  I will always remember her that way.  May you be graced with her memory and feel her love and presence always and forever. 
Again, with my sincere sympathy, 
Mrs. Linda L. Watson

I would like to express my sincer sympathy over your great loss.I know you dont know me but I to have felt the pain of losing a loved one in death.The death of a loved one is one of the most devastating experiences as humans we face.At times the loss may seam unbearable.There is something that did provide comfort and hope to me.I learned from the bible that there is going to be a resurrection and we will be reunited with our loved ones-ACTS 24:15. The resurrection will not be in an unknown heaven but here on earth under peaceful,righteous conditions-psalms 37:9,29.And at that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect ,never getting sick,and they will never have to die-revelation 21:3,4  Isaiaha 33:24.

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime, Therefore,we are save by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate contex of history; Therefore,we are saved by hope. Nothhing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we are saved by faith. nothing we do however virtuous, can be accomplished alone. therefore,we are saved by love No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the stand point of our frinds or foe as from our own; therefore,we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness."  Nickey we will always keep you in our HEARTS..YOU WILL BE LOVED FOREVER.

Dear family and friends of Nicky,

I met Nicky in middle school at Wheatland and want you to know that she was an incredibly nice and kind girl. She was a good friend of mine and had a great smile. I send my condolences to you all.

Sincerely,
John Hughes, Wheatland Middle School ’06

I did not know your daughter nor do I know your family.  However, this has touched my heart.  I can not even fathom how your family must be feeling.  I hope you all remain strong and hopefully some day you will be able to remember Nicole with smiles and not tears.  She was a beautiful young lady.  My thoughts and prays are with the entire family.

Dear Stephanie & Family,

My heart goes out to you.  Though I only saw Nicole when she was a baby, I know she was a beautiful, caring young woman.  I know because of the family she came from.  Cherish the time you were blessed with her being here on earth and know that she is among other family members who are in Heaven and she is watching over you all.  My thoughts and prayers are with you each and every day.
