Nicole was a very dear friend. I met her in 1986 when I started dating Phillippe (whom now also is a very close friend). All these years we’ve been in touch. I lived overseas many years and always visited Nicole for a catchup over lunch with Phillippe and my mum). She was always so interested in what I was up to. I remember visiting Stanmore bay and enjoying European inspired dinners. Talking fashion. Holiday travels. I returned to Nz a few years ago and regret not spending more time together - but life took over, working and looking after a young child. Nicole you will remain in my heart forever. Love you. Pam
