Thank you, Nikki, for sharing your boys with me. I have been lucky to have the privilege of teaching all three of them.
I promise you, your children will be held closely by their Keene family.
My thoughts are with all of you.

Nikki had a heart of gold and would help anyone. She was not shy to get her hands dirty and enjoyed giving me a hand with home Improvments. I could confide in her and her in me, not only a sister but a best friend. Thank you for being the better part of growing up and all the amazing memories. I promise to watch over the boys and of course treat them as my own… although I can’t promise I won’t keep them up at night playing video games with me! 🙂
Thank you so very much for standing by my side for moms passing.. not even a month ago. I will miss you more than you’ll ever know, it’s hard to go from calling you every day to not being able to hear that laugh. I am so sorry I failed you. I love you so much Nik, so so much.
I really hope there is a heaven so I can see ya again some day.

I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot begin to put into words how much I enjoyed working with Nicki and Hand and Stone. She was a hard-working and dedicated massage therapist. She gave me her kitty cat, Sade, whom we Love and adore!! I thank Nikki for her Neverending Generosity and Selfless Love. I am eternally blessed and grateful for Nikki’s sacrifice. To be absent from the body is to be present with God!! Rest in peace and God’s Loving arms.
