I’m one of Clare’s best friends from high school so I’ve known of Nikky for as long as I’ve known Clare. Nikky was the cool older cousin we all wanted to have - and because she was always so welcoming it felt like we did. When I was going through a break up she and Clare immediately opened their doors in Brooklyn and let me stay with them during a blizzard (that ended up being a dusting of snow). We sat inside their living room most of the weekend talking on the couch, giggling in the kitchen, dissecting the relationship, eating junk food, and watching movies. It felt like home. Nikky was comforting, supportive, hilarious, and full of good, sassy advice. That weekend and all the times I got to go out with her and Clare are some of my favorite New York moments. She was such a confident, successful, lively woman living in New York - I really looked up to her. She is very very missed. I am so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Maddie Charles
