Homer The Clown / Homer The Clown As Homer The Clown, I entertained at Nicholas' 3rd birthday party. I am sorry to hear about his accident. I feel blessed that I had the opportunity play a small part in his life.
This site was brought to my attention by a nephew, who lives in Florida.
You have done a great job in letting others share his moments in history.
Sincerely,
Homer The Clown
Missing you..... / Mom
I will be gone for awhile Nick, but you will be with me, in my heart. I love you so much and wish you could be with us. Please watch over Courtney's wedding and everyone traveling. Also, please keep an eye on your brothers. They are both doing better, but I will always worry. Like I have said a thousand times, your death has affected all of us and none will be the same. You are my shining star, Nick. I love you with all of my heart. <3333333333
~HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY~ / Mom
I look at the card up above and I remember how thoughtful you always were, especially about the special days throughout the year. I miss you beyond belief Nick. I know the other parents on here understand the pain and anguish of losing your child. I keep remembering the last day we spent together, I honestly believe that you wanted to straighten up. I believed in you. Sometimes I fall asleep remembering how big you were when you were born, how I held you and told you I would always protect you. When you died in that accident, most of me went with you. I'll never be able to accept the fact that I couldn't protect you and that I wasn't there to stop it from happening. I miss you, I love you, and you will live within my heart forever. Happy Valentine's Day Nick.
I miss you.... / Mom I miss you so much Nick that sometimes I think my heart is going to fall apart from the void in my life since you left. I need you by my side going through life with the rest of the family and friends. I have kissed your picture every nite for over 3 years. More times than not tears begin to roll down my face when I lay down and think about how things used to be. I would never say that we didn't fight, because we did. It was usually over you doing something I knew you shouldn't be doing. I had a bond with you that I can't let go. I have a special and different bond with each of you kids. You are all so special and wonderful and I love everyone of you with all of my heart. Sometimes I need to talk to you and this is one of the places I feel I can do it. You are my Angel nick...my very special and awesome Angel. <3333333
~HAPPY NEW YEAR NICK~ / Mom
Happy New Year in Heaven Nick. I have to wish you a belated Happy New Year on here as I was in the hospital on New Year's Eve and day. My thoughts were always with you and your sister and brothers, nieces and nephews. Justin came up to the hospital on Friday to see me. He told me he received a gift certificate for a tatoo for Christmas. He also added that I might like this one. He lifted his shirt and right over his heart was the most beautiful tatoo. It was a cross and a tombstone. It read: In Loving Memory of Nicholas D. Floriana. I cried and cried. The area he chose to place the tatoo was so special. I also know that this means he is finally accepting your death. He never wanted to talk about you much before. Now, maybe this is a small door opening for him. I pray this will be a better year for all of us. God has certainly been throwing challenges our way. I don't think I will ever be able to make myself stop wishing and hoping and praying for you to be back in our lives and to be able to be with you again. I know I sound like I am crazy when I wish for you to be here, but it helps me make it through this somehow. I am so grateful for your friends that have come forward and offered comfort. I don't think anyone realizes how wonderful it is to hear about things your son or daughter did that you were not aware of, thoughts they shared with someone else, just anything about them. I love and miss you Nick. You are my special Angel in Heaven.
Today/ Mom Today has been especially diffucult, Nick. I keep remembering how we would have Christmas Eve at 6:00 PM. Anywhere between 5:45 and 6:15 PM, you would come running in the house with the presents you had just purchased begging Courtney to help you wrap while we all waited. For the past 4 years, you haven't come running through the door at the last minute. I thought I almost heard you once today. Probably my mind playing jokes on me. We did go to the cemetery again today to see you. I actually stood there and begged for you to try to get through to other kids and adults to not wait until the last minute, not to rush, to somehow let the kids know how their parents hearts will be broken beyond repair if they lose their child. How the loss of a child or a sibling affects an entire family. Please let parents know to pay attention to their children now, that even if a divorce occurs that they shouldn't forget their beautiful children. To let the parents know that fighting in front of their children is a horrible experience for the kids to have to go through. I know I am asking for alot Nick, I want this world to be a better place. I want to stop seeing young men and women killed in sensless accidents that could have been avoided. I want people to try to understand those that are different orhave different outlooks. All people should respect all people. I truly believe this world would be a better place. I have asked myself a billion times what I could have done differently. There are so many things I know I wasn't perfect at and somethings I wasn't even good at. I do know one thing for certain Son and that is that I love you with every fiber of my being and I always will. Merry Christmas in Heaven sweet boy. One day we will be together again. I send all my love, thanks and admiration to you Nick. You are my light and my life. If you can, please help the other parents through this horrible time.
I miss you.... / Mom Merry Christmas in Heaven, Nick. I know I have said this a million times, but I miss you! You belong in our lives, you belong with us. When you passed away, I kept trying to convince myself that it wasn't true, that my baby could not be gone. I still find myself trying to play that game, telling myself you are away for a while and will be back home shortly. I think I would lay down and die if I didn't believe that I will see you again, that we will all meet up on the other side. I just wish we could all be on the same side, HERE! When I go to the cemetery, I feel like most of my family is right there beside you. my Mom, my Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle Buzz and my Baby. I think about all the times that you and I went there to take flowers to Grandma and Grandpa. I know neither one of us ever dreamed you would be there next to them.You had so many things you wanted to do, so many places you wanted to go. I'm sure life in Heaven is wonderful and glorious, but I need you Nick. I want to hold you and hug you, tell you how much I love you. Your friend Jeni told me she had a dream about you recently, Angela had a dream and Aunt Carol has had dreams. I yearn for you to come back to me in my dreams. You're my shining star Nick, my Angel. I love you with every breath I take, with every beat of my heart. One day we will be together again. <333333
Missing You / Jeni Brown (Very Good Friend ) Nick, I have been thinking a lot about you and your wonderful family these past few weeks. I know it is harder around the holidays to have someone close not there, but I feel you with me all of the time. I have so many great memories of you and I doing things together and I am so lucky to have had you in my life, even if you were taken too young. I want to stop by and see your dear mom sometime in the next few weeks. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your life and leaving such an impact on mine. Lots of Love and Prayers, Jeni Brown
Jacquelyn/ Sherry (Nick's Mom ) Thank you for taking the time to visit Nick's site and leave such a sincere message. It really means alot to me. I ache from losing my son each and every day. I want people to read his site, look at his pictures just like you did. You said you are 10 years younger than Nick. That tells me that you are going to be driving before too long. Please remember Nick and how much we lost the day he was killed in an accident. Please be careful behind the wheel and don't rush/speed. Please know that NOTHING is so important to be on time to that you could lose your life. I can also tell that you are a very special young lady. Thank you again for leaving us a message and please come back.

Perhaps I was meant to find this. / Amanda Vermillion (Passerbye)
Where to begin, first let me say I never met Nicholas in life, but I do feel as though I share a connection with not only him but his family. The connection I feel I share with him is I was born on that same wonderful day 25 years ago, the connection with his family is because I also lost someone very close to me on the same tragic day 16 years ago. I'm not sure how it is I sumbled on to this site only to say that perhaps god led me here, to show me that though those we love are gone in body their spirit is always with us. So please except my sincere condolences for the loss of your son, friend, uncle, brother and all that he was to your family and friends. And thank you for the chance that I had to find this and remember that those we love are always with us.
Losing You / Mom
The police came to the door this afternoon and asked if Wayne Kimbler lived here. I started shaking because I remembered that horrible day when the State Trooper and Wayne showed up at the house to tell me you were gone. I immediately thought Wayne was seriously hurt or gone. The man kept asking me about a pickup truck that was in Wayne's name. I started crying because I thought about the pickup of Wayne's that you were killed in. Finally, we got it straight that he was asking about Justin's truck that Wayne has his name on the title. Immediately, I assumed the worst......Then he told me Justin had lent his truck to someone and they were involved in an accident not far from us. No one was seriously hurt, which I am greatful for. I am driving myself crazy by going through all of this almost every time I hear a siren or see a policeman. I can't help thinking that you were only about 5 minutes from home when you had your accident. 5 MINUTES! 5 minutes until you reached the safety of your home. I love you so much Nick. There is a huge part of my heart that feels empty. It has felt that way since the day you left. Aunt Carol told me she had a dream and you told her you were with me all the time. Please let me feel your presence. Close
I'm Everywhere / Melody Sanders (angel-mom-Janea')
Please don't morn for me I'm still here And within your heart I lone though you don't see I'm right by your side each night and day g to stay My body is gone but I'm always near I'm everything you feel, see or hear My spirit is free, but I'll never depart As long as you keep me alive in your heart I'll never wander out of your sight I'm the brightest star on a summer night I'll never be beyond your reach I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around And the pure white snow that blankets the ground I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond The clear cool water in a quiet pond I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in spring The first warm raindrop that April will bring I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine When you start thinking there's no one to love you You can talk to me through the Lord above you I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep I'm the smile you see on a baby's face Just look for me, I'm everyplace...

Dare I be so bold... / Just Thiking (Friend)
I think of you as often as I do my own brother. I feel like I know you. I look into your eyes and at your smile and feel a since of loss. I know that sounds retarded but my God. I get so sad for you when I see you. I think of all the wonderful things you would have done. I know you would have made a brave recruit. This nation would have been lucky to have you serve. I am sorry you had to learn life's lesson the hard way. I can not imagine paying for a mistake so small with your life! I mean you broke a speeding law, it is not like you killed some one! I am glad I got to meet your Mom she is an uber cool lady; but if it were all up to me I think I would pass if it meant she could have you back. I was so honored when she let me work on your site. My friend and I were talking and he said he could not imagine doing a job that is suppose to measure up to the worth of a humans life. I can tell there is nothing in this world that could measure up to this situation. I am soooo glad I can make you pretty things and make your Mom smile or cry. Was she always this way? lol If you can see or hear any of this, than you must smile if not laugh at us goofy hens. I hope you and Chris have met I know this sound so retarded but seems like he would have really liked you. I can tell you were a really neat person. It sucks that you are gone. I will remember you with your mother just as though you were my own family. If you know something I do not that can help me comfort her spill the beans Nick! :) She thinks she needs to thank me for this but I want to thank you. She is a cool lady Nick and she makes me want to be a better Mom. I feel like she loves you more than it is even possible. I know I can not prevent anything God has planned but I will remember now to lock up my car keys at night and when I am not around to supervise the vehicles. I will make sure I rag on Kate and Gwen more about safety in the car. I will slow down when I drive I promise, I won't forget your sacrifice. Close
