NICOLE VICTORIA TIERNEY

OCT. 23,1987 TO SEPT. 19,1994


A candle forever burns in memory of Nicole...


On Sept 19.1994 our little Nicole was hit and killed by a drunk driver.

Nicole was just one month away from her 7th birthday. Nicole loved to play in front of her house under a big tree searching for bugs to play with you see she loved bugs and animals or anything that moved.

Nicole would sit there for hours on end turning rocks over to see if there was bugs living under them.

Nicole was an only child and was a very special child to all around her.


To Nicole it was just an average day not knowing what lay ahead.


Nicole had just came home from school and had decided to go outside play in front of her house when for some strange reason she decided to cross the street. As she was coming home from the other side of the street and at the same time a van was coming over the hill at that moment Nicole was hit on her whole left side of her body knocked right out of her lion king sneakers and thrown 75 feet forward down the road.

The driver of this van was on his way home from work as a fisherman and was drinking alcohol and taking medication this day.

As our little Nicole lay there bleeding and unconscious in the middle of the street for a 1/2 hour waiting for the med. flight helicopter to bring her 25 miles away to Massachusetts general hospital trauma center. there is a local hospital less than 2 minutes away from Nicole but the ambulance people said she needed a trauma center.

I will always wonder if they had brought her to the local hospital if maybe they could have done something for her there instead of waiting for the med.flight.

The police at the scene took the driver to the police station because they smelled alcohol when they brought him there he refused the breathalyzer at first then waited about 2 hours at the station wasting time just enough time for the alcohol to wear off.

He then decided to take the breathalyzer test. at this point he scored just under the legal limit to drive.

This man got off scott free.

We did bring it to trial but there was no proof that he was drunk because he refused the breathalyzer at first.

To this day he has never tried to contact us to say he was sorry or anything. we still have hatred towards this man.


The days that Nicole was waked and buried was the hardest time in our families lives.The news of Nicole's death shocked a lot of people. people we didn't even know showed up to pay there respects to her and our family.


To this day we wonder what she wanted to see across the street because she never ever had crossed the street alone
before.


THIS IS A POEM MY MOTHER GAVE TO ME.


DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP.

I AM NOT THERE,I DO NOT SLEEP.

I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW.

I AM THE DIAMOND GLINTS ON SNOW.

I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN.

I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH.

OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT.

I AM THE SOFT STAR THAT SHINES AT NIGHT.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY.

I AM NOT THERE, I DID NOT DIE.


THIS IS A SPECIAL POEM THAT NICOLES COUSIN TRICIA WROTE FOR NICOLE



NICOLE

I can't see you,
Yet I know you are here,
I lost you years ago,
But I still fight the tears,
Prompted by that tragic day,
When your life was stolen from you,
In a fraction of a second,
your heartbeat ceased,
I can still remember the pain I felt,
The tragic day I first found out,
It was as if someone had taken,
A piece of my heart,
When yours stopped,
I can't hear you,
Yet I know You can hear me,
Listening to every word I say,
Every whisper,
Every thought,
But still I lost you,
I know your are here,
Here with me ,
You are still alive,
But only with memories,
I will never forget,
I'll miss you until forever ends.

LOVE TRICIA

XOXOX
