My sincerest condolences to the Groom and Reynolds families. I remember Nikki mostly from her summers at JC Pool. Her mother and her mother's sisters were child sitters for my brothers and me and Natalie was a sitter for my daughter. Nikki was a little younger but was a delight to be around. I always smile when I think of her as I hope all who knew her will too.

I remember meeting Nikki for the first time at JC Pool. We were on the same swim teams for years. I always admired the dedication she would put into her individual events as well as team events. Nikki had a contagious laugh and her smile brightened any room she walked into. I have some great memories from my childhood with Nikki, most surrounding a swimming pool, eating the jello powder out of the box during meets and the Wednesday nights spent at McDonalds after a meet. Mrs. Reynolds and Natalie and the rest of the family in Nikkis life, remember the good times and hold on to those memories! My prayers are with all of you.
