I am so sorry for your loss. Patrice was a great person and Nicole was full of life.

I have known Patrice for the past 17 years. She was a really good person who did love her daughter. I have read a few of the articles about this sad event and some are just really harsh and jump to conclusions that may or may not be true. I am sure that Patrice did not want Nicole to be hurt in anyway and I feel in my heart that the fact Nicole was present was a horrible accident. Yes, Patrice had demons and lots of lows in life but at the heart of it she was a caring mother, fun, lively person who had a really big heart. If you don't feel she loved her daughter than you should check out her My space page which includes so many photos of Nicole enjoying happy times in her life. This is such a sad tragedy of two lives cut short. I will miss you Patrice and hope that you and Nicole are at peace. I want to express my deepest sympathy for their family and express that Patrice was a fun person and will be missed.
