Nicole Kay Peterson: The Girl Who Lived


On October 27, 2014, Nicole Kay Peterson reached the summit of her mortal journey, took God's outstretched hand, and stood triumphant with Him over all her foes.  Born July 18, 2011, in just three years and three months, Nicole has touched many hearts with her wise eyes and her fierce determination to rise above her mortal afflictions.  Nicole was happy in every circumstance; even leukemia could not defeat her radiant spirit.  Nicole's life on earth, though brief, has brought unspeakable joy to her family, and has blessed the lives of all who know her.   Nicole is the girl who always had one foot on earth and one foot in Heaven; she is The Girl Who Lived.  We miss you, little princess, and look forward to the coming day when we shall embrace again.
 
Nicole was preceded in death by her grandparents, Kay Roberts Peterson, JoAnn Peterson, Robert S. Jones, Elisabeth Jones.  She is survived by her parents, James and Cathy, her older brother, Jake, and her five older sisters, Kersten, Rachel, Ana, Michelle, and Laura.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2014, at 11:00 A.M. in the Hyrum LDS 14th ward church, 176 South 1300 East, Hyrum, Utah.  Friends may call at the Nelson Funeral Home, 162 East, 400 North, Logan, Utah, on Friday evening from 6-8 P.M. and again at the Hyrum LDS 14th ward church on Saturday morning from 9:30-10:30 A.M. Burial will be in the Manti, Utah City Cemetery at 4:00 P.M.

  7. I've been following your blog the last few months via my brother Clint, whose girlfriend passed away in June from leukemia. Every picture of Nicole showed a fierce fighter, a tender and sweet child, and definitely a happy girl despite what was happening with her body. I'm very sorry to hear that she is no longer with you on this earth, but how wonderful that we know she has joined other family, friends, her Father in Heaven, and brother Jesus Christ. How proud they must be of her! And how fortunate you must feel that such an angel and choice daughter of God is part of your eternal family. Our prayers are with you.

  10. I heard about Nicole through the GiveForward fundraiser, and the #SaveNicole online charity. I followed the blog and read about the struggles Nicole, Cathy, and James went through when dealing with hospitals and treatments, but was hopeful when seeing the strong community support backing the whole family. I'm very sorry for your loss. For what it's worth, Nicole was surrounded by the people she loves at all times during the entire ordeal. Cathy and James, you two have taken great loving care of Nicole and are wonderful parents for the dedication you two have given for your family. Please take care.
