In her childhood years Nicole was Delphine and Chris’s baby girl she was their pride and joy, she loved being the center of their world. She Even thought Carson was her present for starting school, she try to pack him to school with her; and from then on she was inseparable. She loved doing everything with him following her lead. Nicole loved to attend bingo day care with Carson; as she got older she still want to go there just to help with the babies. Delphine knew it was so she can still act like a big kid. Nicole knew how to make bingo day care sound fun, so much that she even talked her older cousins into go there. Nicole was always so full of energy that at times Delphine would not know how to tire her out; she calls Auntie Molly to tire her out. Molly would get Nicole to do cartwheels or gymnastics and that would always get Nicole tired and in bed early. Molly and Nicole had a special bond and it only got stronger with time. They would sit and color or they would watch young and the restless even the six o clock news. They both were very superstitious and thought they were getting spooked. But it always turned out to be Carson pranking them. As Molly got older Nicole would sneak into her assisted living place to keep her company and keep the ghost away.
She loved her time at Gilbert Patterson there she got some work experience working at a daycare. Where she helped take care of babies and toddlers; This is where she developed her love for children. From then on she loved to babysit her siblings, and younger cousins. She was so excited when she found out she was going to be a mom. When Alfreda was born she loved doting over her; she would always take her with her to the mall and library and the internet café, where they would take selfies. Nicole spoiled Alfreda her mini-Nikki is what she liked to call her; She would buy her anything and everything she wanted. When Stanley was born, she was so excited to be having another baby she was nesting; she got all the things babies need a bassinet, and clothes. She tried even harder when she was pregnant with Benjamin, but things did not go her way. She loved her children with all her heart and soul; so much she knew she had to let them be raised by family so she can get better.
Nicole is a very beautiful and strong, caring, big-hearted, silly outgoing, and at times crazy brave individual. She touched many lives with her kind spirit, making friends everywhere she went. Becoming close to them and to her cousins whom she called sister or brother. She had a tough life one most people wouldn’t be able to imagine. But she would share her plans about getting better and being with her babies. She enjoyed making people laugh even when she was hurting. She never judged anyone, she was always there for her brothers and sisters. She was a beautiful lady big kid at heart and she loved all whom she came across in her life journey; She would always greet family with a big shout and she would run and hug you and right away like no time has passed, she starts telling you her crazy stories of what she or Delphine did. She would always joke and play around with you and when we part ways she always gives you a hug and says love you always sister or brother.
