After the last thread, I am sure everyones condolences from the Ledge will be her top priority to read.

as someone already posted- this has been on the tv news more than once tonight and the nicks family was surely aware of its impending announcement. her fans simply want to express their sympathy and condolences here.

and don't worry- there won't be any internet stalkers showing up anywhere.

Though I'm not sure how this will come out, I have to say that I'm relieved that he didn't pass away while she was on tour. I think Stevie would have felt horribly guilty had she lost her father while she was out on the road somewhere. My hope is that she was by his side, where I'm sure she would want to have been.

My deepest sympathies are with Stevie and the Nicks family. Eighty-One years is a good, long life, but even that isn't long enough when it comes to our parents.

I was thinking that too. In a way, his last sort of big gesture of love to her was waiting for her to finish. He really was a pillar of the community there - helped so many people with eh AZI and other things - I pray for the reposal of his soul.

That's so sad!

I can't imagine losing my father someday. Does anyone know how he passed?

My thoughts and prayers are with Stevie and her family.

He was, in the news cast,( despite whatever that kelly person thinks) they mentioned how he had been a long time phoenix resident, and had done alot and been very involved in the comunity, then they had an interview with a family friend.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Nicks family. Strength will be pulled from somewhere to get through this tragedy.

But in my heart, I leave great expectations
That you will find the answers to your questions
And that life will once more...
Be a celebration...
And that you will be touched by an Angel...

Very sad news. I am glad he lived as long as he did and got to see his daughter become such a success.

I have so many thoughts about this and so much that I'd like to say

later, but right now I'd like to just mention something I don't believe has

been pointed out yet -

At least Stevie's Dad got to see them break ground on the wonderful

new Cardiovascular Research Institute at the Arizona Heart Institute.

( To be aware of it, I mean. ) I think both he and - let's use her real

name here, his daughter Stephanie - deserve HUGE credit for this

FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLAR research building they have just caused to

be put up - And I think it's noteworthy that there's no sign of their

name anywhere near the place - it's not, "The Nicks Research Building" -

they don't care about the credit and recognition, just the Results.

And as someone who kinda-sorta understands the CEO way of thinking -

WELL, MISTER NICKS, this is a RESULTS thing!!! - - -

And OH MY can you be proud!

They've done something wonderful here and it's one more reason Stevie

has to be so proud of him, and I'm so happy that he was able

to see the Research Building finally come to fruition, after he and his

wonderful daughter worked for SO long to make it happen.

What wonderful people, and what a wonderful Legacy.

My sympathies go out to the Nicks family. I met Jess once also after the 2000 AHI benefit. He was very gracious. While it's terribly sad, I think he lived a full and rewarding life, and through AHI did a lot of good for many people.

My mom passed away three weeks ago, she was only 56. If I wasn't home when she called, she used to leave these 10 minute long messages to my cat! I used to come home and roll my eyes, but the other night I realized I'll never get one of those messages again. I can definately relate to what the family will go through. I think it's important to celebrate our loved ones lives once they pass, and Mr. Nicks life was definatley worth celebrating.

To Stevie and her family, and anyone who has lost a loved one, here is a quote I'd like to share that has helped me in my grieving.

"In the night of death hope sees a star, and listening, love can hear the rustle of a wing". -Robert Ingersoll (1833-1899)
