You did well.
How I wish I had some photos of Nicky. I was one of his cousins, Judy “Muth” Webber, and he was always such an adorable kid. We moved from Milwaukee when I was 5 years old to West Des Moines, Iowa. My parents were Jerry and Betty “Reilly” Muth. A few weeks during every summer were spent in Milwaukee, and one of my highlights was our many visits to “Jackie’s” home, or so I called it. Jackie was about 6 months older than I was and we were very close growing up as kids. I had many sleepovers at the Arnolds home and many beautiful and fond memories that I will cherish forever. I was 9 years older than Nicky, so I mainly remember him as the cute kid running around the house with Gary and Pat and just having a lot of fun. I remember how beautiful his eyes were and knew he’d be a knockout when he got older. I was shocked when we received the call about Nick’s death. It really broke my heart. He was far too young to die. Nick had a personality plus and he will be forever loved and missed by all of us. God bless you Nicky! May you be enjoying the happiness, peace and joy of heaven with Our Dear Lord, along with your dear mom and dad. You will all be affectionately remembered forever.
Hopefully the Packers can pull through for you this afternoon! Love you.
We played Farkle with Geo last week and it made me think of my first Thanksgiving up in Milwaukee. I had never played the game before and you taught me all about Farkle etiquette. I remember staying up all night playing & laughing
Love and miss you always! <3
(p.s. I can hear you yelling about the little Mr. Arnold comment up top but I'll never stop)

My deepest condolences to all the family members.
We are so shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Nicks passing. We all have such good memories of our family outings and neighborhood parties. Your Dad was such funny guy with a kind soul. Our hearts go out to each of you and pray for you to find comfort in the wonderful memories. God, your faith, your family and friends will carry you during this difficult time. Our deepest condolences to all of you.
Love,

So many happy memories.
Thank You
These last two weeks have been the hardest of our lives. Anyone that knew Nick also knew that he valued relationships above all else. There was nothing he wouldn't do for those closest to him or for someone he just met. We've been overwhelmed and comforted by the number of people that drove out to Iowa City, called, texted, emailed, delivered food and creature comforts and shared their "Nick" stories with us during these incredibly sad and difficult weeks. It was not lost on us that so many of those stories ended with, "Nick was my best friend". The overwhelming message you've all sent us is that we are not in this alone, and we cannot thank you enough.
I hope you all will share your stories. The family would love to hear your memories!
