Nicolas Goncalo Rodrigues

To Marta and family, I missed the opportunity to sign Nicolas' card and I apologize for this late message. But I just wanted to let you and your family know how much of a blessing and pleasure it was caring for Nicolas. I wish you and your family my sincere condolences and pray that he is at peace. Hoping his memories bring comfort to you and your family during this difficult time and for always.

I had the opportunity to work with Nicolas as a student at the HSC. I am very sad to hear about his passing, but I am so grateful I got to meet him and his amazing mother. I will carry the memory of Nicolas in my heart always. I am sending my love to his family.

Dear Marta and family, I am so sorry for Nicolas' loss. Nicolas was such a wonderful boy, he always let me know what he wanted when I worked with him. It was such a pleasure to get to know him and his smile. Thank you for letting me have a chance to know such a beautiful boy. My prayers are for him and with your family in this time.

rIP sweet boy, may yiu rest in peace and be free from pain. Love Yrisha Sullivan-Lucy McCormick Senior School

I hope that in due time your family receives God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. God is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. So rest assured that he cares for all his creatures and he would never bring us suffering. A soothing scripture I like is Psalm 34:18 which reads: Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. Thus, while you await the Paradise where no one will be sick and die, may you lean on Jehovah God to cope with your separation from our beloved Nicolas.

Hi Marta and family, This is Geoff and I had the privilege of being Nicholas' nurse frequently in November and December. Currently I am living in Pakistan. I would like to extend my condolences to you and I pray that you might feel God's peace as you process the emotions around this. I heard about Nicholas and it was both a surprise and disappointment for me because when I last saw him he was not at the palliative stage. However, it does make sense to me that things could take a turn and this, unfortunately, becomes the best option. During the weeks that I got to know Nicholas it was apparent that he did not have things easy with physical challenges. Yet I was able to see his personality and I got to know some of his likes and dislikes. He was someone that I wanted to have a conversation with to know what he was thinking. I need to say that for me personally it was good to have Nicholas on 7B because it gave me an opportunity to learn more about certain aspects of care that are not common on our unit. So he helped me to become a better nurse in ways that will have an impact for a long - time. I should also extend condolences to his group home family, both the residents and the workers. No doubt this is a loss for you as well.

I would also express my sympathy to Marta, Roberto, Chantel and Brandon for their loss. Hopefully, you will find comfort in your many memories of Nicolas.
