Loss

**ottakringerGM1** · 08-24-2004, 05:32 PM

I write this in here to the people who are also involved in youth hockey, Today I saw the body of an incredible fifteen year old hockey player carried from his home. Nicky Droscsz was a member of my Jr. Ottakringer program since he was 9. I grew to love and respect all the kids ive coached through the years. I was also Nicks math tudor for a time when he was in 7th grade. Facts are not yet released but its bielived Nicky took his own life. I write this to ask coaches to get to know the kids. You may find a good friend or be lucky enough to see signs of something like this in time to help. Thanks for listening.

Out to pay my respects to Nicky and his family and entered the air of many who loved this kid. The place was filled with many teared eyes. People whom I haven't seen in a while were there. Met quite a few new people too. In leaving I picked up a prayer card and what it said was perfect;

I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'mfollowing the path God has laid, you see.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found the peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remember joys-
A friendship shared a laugh a kiss,
Oh yes, These things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much.
Good friend, Good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all so brief
Don't length it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee
God wanted me now, He set me free.

In loving memory of
Nichlas J. Droszez
