They put this golf tournament together for money for the kids and it means more than words can say. The kids will look back and see that this group of people came together to not only remember their father but to help them and set them up for something that they can’t really think about right now. Just having people surround you and hold you together when you can’t do it yourself (gives me strength).

It's been a tough time, and it's been made a lot easier by the support of the first responder community, and we are blessed that they came together and wanted to put this tournament together for the benefit of Nic's children, and we are very thankful for that.

Mind the Frontline is a great organization that steps up with us, and they always provide for us in ways that we can't, so it's always good to come out and support them the way that they support the families and the people who are out here doing the work. It's always good to come out and support someone like that, who will to go to bat for us.
