I have so many wonderful memories of our dear Uncle Oran and Aunt Nita, happy days playing with cousins in their home. Uncle Oran's life is a tribute to his love for God and for his family. One of my most recent loving memories of him is when Don brought him to Aunt Ona's house and listening to them singing together. Wow, wouldn't you want to be in heaven right now listening to the Nichols family sing!!! Loving thoughts to Aunt Nita, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I love you, Dinah

Mr. and Mrs. Nichols were my next door neighbors. Mr. Nichols was a very kind person, neighbor and friend. He was ready to help you when ever you needed help. It was a blessing to live next door to them. My prayers are with all of the family. May our loving Lord wrap His arms of love, comfort, and strength around you.

May the Lord bless and keep you and comfort you even as you rejoice in Oran's homegoing. From the obituary, I can see he was a man of God and served him well. May God be with you in the days to come.

Mrs.Nichols and Family, May the Lord bless you and comfort you during this time of sorrow of missing someone so loved and cherished. "I am the good shephard. I know my sheep ... and my sheep know me." John 10: 14-15 God loves those who need him most. He is with you to carry you through the storms of life, to light the way at every turn, and to reassure you of his goodness and sovereignty when you feel alone or frightened. As I write this message I am imagining what Mr. Nichols is doing now. Is he having a grand reunion with loved ones who have gone ahead, laughing and reminiscing, and praising our Lord Jesus in person. What a grand sight it must be. We are praying and thinking of you all. May the Lord bless you and your family. Eddy, Lisa and Laura
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Edith and Julie, We pray for you and your family as we always do. Although we did not know him from knowing you both ,we know he was a wonderful father and grandfather. Please keep the Lord close at this time. Be wrapped in His blessings and the reassurance that Oran is at His Lord's throne. He is at peace and is no longer suffering. The Lord is holding you and your family in His hands and He does hear your sorrow. If you need anything, please let us know. Your family in Christ, Nancy, Lindy, Vincent and Justice Gandy

I didn't know Mr. Nichols personally, yet I think he must have been a great man because I know his daughter Edith and his grand-daughter Julie and they loved and praised him. Someday I'd like to hear the Nichols's family sing in heaven.
