As friends, our hearts all ache for mom. Kandi was a beautiful awesome girl and we loved her so much! There never was or will be anyone like her. R.i.p pretty lady! Best believe we will all have bandanas done for you
I only ever got to meet this young woman a small handful of times in my life but as we were both residents of Sedro and had a lot of the same friends our paths crossed a few times. I knew her as Kandi but then so did a lot of people. I am truly sad for the loss for her family and other loved ones and will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. I did not know this girl very well but it’s still a terrible loss to this community. Rest in peace, Nicole.
Heavy heart for Brian and Diane, I am so sorry for there loss! I remember Nicole as a sweet and kind young women, she will truly be missed! God bless Diane and Brian, Woodrow and Carolyn. May she rest in peace, thoughts and prayers for all the family!
Altho I do not know Nicole personally I am truly sorry for this accident and the family’s involved. May she rest in peace and may God comfort her family.
I’m deeply saddened to learn of Nicole’s passing. I remember her as a kind young woman and it was a privilige to have her as a student. She and her family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
