I have not saw Nicki in about 30 years. She was my boss at Dominos (Fayetteville) & everyone loved her. She was good to her employees. I remember when her & Carl got married & have pics from those days. I will keep you all in my prayers.
So, so sorry to hear about Nicki. She was a special lady! Know I care and her family is in my thoughts and prayers at
this difficult time.
Carl and Morgan. I am so terribly gutted at the loss of Nicki. She was so incredibly supportive of my translation from driver to the Franchise Wife.
I loved her spirit and humor and she counseled me so many times. For that I am incredibly grateful for not just the help but also the path she carved for many women in the pursuit of getting better
