Four memories of Nicholas B. Burley

“

Today is Veterans Day so of course I thought of you. We didn't really talk after high school but I will never forget our weird/amazing/hilarious group of friends. I remember the huge crush you had on M and your jokes and how you would never stop talking. :) I will remember how day in and day out you ALWAYS had a smile on your face for everybody. I will remember how annoyed you would get when I would mess with your hair and how you and josh made us all laugh so f-n hard. I will remember your contagious good mood. When i see you in my head i dont see a soldier, i see a honestly sweet caring and selfless person who will forever be a bright spot in my teenage years for as long as i live. RIP Nick love you man
