Nico Veneta has passed away. She left this mortal coil on Saturday. Nico told me last year she was sick with lymphoma. Nikki and I both offered to help her in any way possible, but Nico wanted to take her own path.

Please take a moment with me and pray she finds peace and tranquility in her next life.
I miss you Nico.

TMT  Nicoless in the entire world.

I know that you cared about her.  I only met her a few times, but she seemed like a great girl.
Life can be quite unfair sometimes and cancer can be so swift and ruthless.  Just no rhyme or reason sometimes.

I cannot believe this! I saw her just last month. I had no idea. I have seen Nico several times and she is - was such a great lady! I am in total shock! Please let this be untrue!

I unfortunately never got to meet her in person but Nico was by far one of the kindest and most helpful people I have met in this community - even when I was first starting out.  She was also very bright and creative, which showed through in her postings and reviews.  The world is surely a lesser place without her today.  My heart goes out to those of you who knew her well.

and shocking. I am so so sorry to hear this ;-(

Her posts that I have seen recently were so positive and upbeat ........ one would never know.

Just goes to show you life is too short.
You never know what one is going through......so don't judge or sweat the small stuff............like she is too big/skinny for my taste ( then why did you hire her ?)
I like busty but she has A cups so I wasn't turned on (then why did you hire her??)
Geez talk about being petty ............... sorry folks I got a bit off subject but I was reading some things that hit a nerve then I saw this sad post ;-( ;-(

I met Nico only once. One of my clients was in Vegas with a friend. My client wanted to treat his friend. So I called Nico, she was exactly what my clients friend was looking for.
She was sweet and showed him a wonderful time.

Nico will be missed. May she R.I.P. May she bring peace and joy in her next life.

My condolences to her family and friends

I am sorry to hear that such a beautiful girl is no longer with us.  OXOO

She was a sweet and lovely woman. A genuine soul.

Rest in peace, sweetheart. You'll make an interesting and fun loving angel.

My thoughts and prayers go to all her friends and loved ones.

Wow, very sorry to hear this....I never met Nico only because of timing. I always enjoyed her posts (especially on sports related subjects), and really wanted to eventually meet this person. She will be missed...

NSF

My deepest sympathies to all who knew her, her family and friends. Is there a possibility that a donation can be made in her name to
The American Cancer Society or some other related charity?

I admire her positive spirit until the end.  sio there can be a good thought in that image she left us.  I seem to think I was seeing her posts until very recently.  Hard to imagine someone could pass so suddenly.  And her pics were so awesomely healthy looking.  WoW.  This is amazing.  But I think of her as a really cool chick.  I'll definitely say a prayer.

We had met her at a dinner, pre Nico, great lady. So sad. We'll add her to our prayers tonight.

T&K

I think I'd go in on that, along keeping her friends and family in my thoughts during what must be a hard time for them.

I don't know her well but I always have admired her from afar. sad sad news

She was a fantastic girl who will be missed.

God blesses us each with so many things
And sometimes that blessing is a girl.
He chooses a special angel, picked just for you
And loans them to you for awhile.

From the time they arrive
They hold your heart in their hands
And add countless precious moments to your life
And each night we bow down and ask the good Lord above
To protect them and keep them from strife.

For this oh so precious gift,
God doesn't ask a large fee.
“Just love and care for them,
and teach them of Me”.
So we do what we can,
We work hard and we pray
And watch them blossom and grow
With each passing day.

Not one of us knows how long they'll be here
Or when God will call for his loan,
And take that special angel, picked just for you
Back to his glorious home.

But he made us a promise and I have no doubt,
He will carry you through this great sorrow.
Because when it's your time, she'll be first to greet you
And you'll be blessed with an eternity of tomorrows.

Wow, just saw this post...I know a little something about Lymphoma and it is a cancer that can be both curable or deadly depending on it's many forms. And one thing for sure, most are very sick for sometime before succumbing to it. Didn't realize that she had been so sick recently. Indeed, may her "next" life be more tranquil.

Nico was a beautiful lady and I consider myself fortunate to have known her. Besides being beautiful, she was incredibly intelligent and a kind and caring person. She will be sorely missed by all whose lives she touched, especially me.

Every exit is an entrance into someplace else.

Nico, wherever you have entered may your beautiful soul rest in peace, and may your friends and family be comforted in their grief.

Nice lady and a great sports fan.  I will miss her.

I had the pleasure of meeting her a few years ago under her other name.  I found her to be incredibly intelligent, witty and truly special.  She will be missed, and I hope she finds peace.

She was a truly sweet lady.

your friends and family find strength in their memories of you ....

I had the pleasure of meeting her only once, but that was all that it took to see the bright spark in her. She was intelligent, playful and accomodating. Her knowlege of sports and gambling was fun and her wit was sharp. It will be a long standing memory for me, a loss to all who met her, and a tragedy for her family and close friends. She will leave a very lasting wonderful memory to many...and she will be missed by many.  Comfort and peace lovely lady....

I had hoped that I would never have to read this announcement, but sadly here it is.
Nico’s untimely passing is a great loss to all who knew and loved her and to those who will now never get the chance.
Her caring, fun-loving and playful nature made her a joy to be around and I, along with many others will miss her dearly.

Namaste Sweet Nico

She seemed so cool on the ladies board and was helpful regarding my planned trip to Vegas. I am so sad I will not get to meet her. I only began speaking with her a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea she was sick much less dying. This is so sad.

Though I've never met her, it still blows a hole in my chest the size of a basketball.    How very sad.  In going back and reading her posts, it became clear to me that our loss is surely heavens gain.  My heartache pales at the thought of her being in a far better place than this earth could ever offer.

i am impressed how all the providers and hobbyists are like a family when things like this happen..I never knew her either but she is in my thoughts...

My loved dear friend will be so missed. I had just talked to her on Valentine's, and were to be together this coming weekend.  Although I knew she was very sick, She never once complained, listening to my own problems, instead.

There was no family service, Myself being out of town - was wondering if there will be any hobby related memorial (eg: Roxy) planned in LV?  I would like to attend if so. Please let me know either thru PM or email..

Sweetie, please find tranquility in your new life... miss you so much already...Love, Bob

It stalks the night
It stalks the day
It seeks out life
And whisks it away
It's known as death
And other things too
But it's all the same
What matters is you.
How do you see it?
What does it mean?
It's best if you know
For death is unseen.
It can take you at day
It can take you at night
Knowing death well
Can lend you some light
The passage to death
Is always unclear
And it's best to know
That you're very near.
For death is at hand
It is for us all
Know it's face well
So you don't stumble and fall
Now think hard on death
And know that it's near
And the meaning of life
Will be all to clear
And that is to live
For your hearts desire
Not to stumble or fall
But to burn with a fire.
A fire for life
To live for each day
To reach for your dreams
No matter what people say
Life is a question
And death holds a clue
Reach not for the answer
For your life's not due
Live for the moment
And die for it too
For it's the moment that counts
It, and you
Now I'm all done
I've said what I'll say
Just remember one thing
Live for the day!

Although I never met her, I was still shocked and saddened to find out about this. I was actually planning on meeting with her in the future. This is all so sudden! Rest in peace lovely lady.

Lovegun1

Wow, I had no idea, having not seen her for awhile. And even then she never said anything was amiss. We spent several times together enjoying each other and our time together. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends. She will truly be missed.

Unfortunately, I can't! Nico will certainly be missed by many of us! She was a fun loving and just plain loving lady! I am sad. May she rest in peace.
