To all the Nicholls family - and there's alot of you now.

Jock, for me as a teenager, was a gentle giant. An old soul. He had wisdom. In later years his old soul wisdom allowed him to keep my mother calm and secure during the building of the house on Mum's section. Therefore my mother liked and respected Jock. And that was a big thing.

He's now in paradise. Dancing because he no longer has his earthly body to hold him back. In a place of light, warmth and endless peace.

You enriched the lives of all who knew you Jock. You gave the light and love of God here on earth and God was able to make people's lives fuller through you being His amazing ambassador here on earth.

You live on in our memories and in our hearts. Jock. Rest well - or dance your heart out Good and Faithful Servant.
