Nicole was a light to everyone around her vibrant, generous, full of warmth and laughter. She had a way of making ordinary moments special, turning simple conversations into lasting memories.
Whether through her kindness, her sense of humour, or just the way she genuinely listened and cared, she left an imprint on all who knew her.
In the days since her passing, her absence is felt in many small ways: the seat at the table she used to fill, the phone call she would’ve made, the spontaneous gathering she might’ve invited you to.
Yet even in the sadness, there is gratitude for her presence, for having had her in our lives, and for all the moments she made better simply by being herself.
Nicole’s legacy will live on in how she cared for others. Friends will remember the times she showed up without being asked offering support, offering a smile, offering herself.
Family will hold close the memories of shared holidays, inside jokes, heartfelt conversations, and the comfort of her being “home.”
It’s in the little acts of love she offered that continue to ripple outward: the way she cheered others on, the way she believed in people, the way she made you feel seen.
Now, as we honour her life, we also acknowledge how difficult this time is for the Ballas family. Loss of someone so full-of-life leaves a void, and grief is a testament to how much she meant.
So I join in extending heartfelt sympathy, keeping the Ballas family in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in each other, in the memories she left behind, and in the way her spirit lives on in the lives she touched.
Although she’s gone, her impact remains: in the laughter she sparked, in the kindness she shared, in the love she gave. May those things be your anchor now.
And may her memory be a blessing a guiding light you carry with you.
