I was a friend of Nikki's. I had no idea that she had passed away. I am from Arkansas and we met in 1998. I found a box of letters that she had written me the other day at my dad's house and was wanting to get back in touch with her. I will cherish those letters. She was the most excellent penpal don't you think? And she had an amazing voice even though she was scared to play in front of people. She always played a song for me, she said.

Wow. Thanks for writing that. I came across it doing a search on her name. I had no idea that would come up.
