Then some more personal things…

- Insatiably Curious

Nicola was the most loyal and caring person to the people she allowed in her circles… and oh there were many layers of compartmentalization.
She always had the spark of Hustle in everything. Work was a means to that end. Friends were sounding boards for ideas… and she had an infinite pool of Ideas.
Nicola touched many lives, and that nurturing of her friends made her happy. We all have many stories of how she touched us, and are all better for it.
She will be missed.
