  7. I will miss my cousin Nick tremendously. I loved him very much. I enjoyed spending time with him especially at the blue house in Anson Valley and Pease hill. Also visited many times in N H. Will miss that guitar. Watching him snowboarding and skiing with his dad. I used to hall them guys on skis behind snowmobile all over the place. Than they would come whizzing down the trail seemingly fearless…yeeehaw!
