I will remain anonymous, but I went on some dates with Nikki in high school. Even went to a girl's pref dance. I went to dinner on a double date with Nikki and her sister Jami and another guy. I knew her throughout my 3 years at Bingham, and we talked alot about various things. For whatever reason it didn't work out between Nikki and I, but she was an awesome girl. I had alot of my own problems to deal with at the time. She was pretty, funny, and incredibly kind. I am married now, and that is why this is so strange. I've been struggling with some things regarding God and spirituality, and I had a dream last night about this girl I last talked to in 2003. For some reason, I search on the internet, and find this. It really makes me wonder and gives me reason to reevaluate life. Nikki had alot of strength to make some of the changes she did in her life and to work through the problems she faced. I am shocked. I am curious to know about how it happened, but that's beside the point I suppose.
This is Nikki's sister Jami. If you want to talk my email is jami.west@gmail.com or my number is 801-548-4966. I'm trying so hard to remember that double date and there are a couple guys that come to my mind of who you could be but I will respect your privacy.
I'm sure you knew Nikki suffered from epilepsy. She had grand mal seizures. She was at home and took a bath. She wasn't supposed to take baths but she loved them so much. She had a seizure during the bath and drowned. It was too late when my brothers found her. We miss her so much. I'm drenched in tears just writing this to you. Nikki had changed so much. She went to church and was very involved in the singles ward. Again, if you ever want to talk please email or call me and I am more than willing to talk to you about my dear sister. Thank you for your sweet comment.
