Dear Ms. Robinson,
It was truly a pleasure having you as such a dedicated, loving, and caring mother throughout Ryleigh's years with us. Even though Ryleigh is still a little girl, the values, love, and guidance you have taught her are such a strong foundation for her future life.
I wish Ryleigh nothing but the very best. Please know that she can always count on us here — her home for many years of growing, learning, and becoming the amazing young lady she is destined to be, full of values, respect, leadership, and excellence in her education.
I will always remember Ryleigh's beautiful smile, her sweet hugs, and the natural leadership inside of her, which clearly reflects the love and care of her wonderful mother.
Sending you a heavenly hug, Ms. Robinson.
Mrs. Rodriguez (Spanish Teacher Forest Heights elementary)

Heartfelt condolences to the Wilkins and Williams families on this tragic loss. May wonderful memories of Nicole comfort you always!!
I met Nicole when she worked for Mary H . Wright , boys and girls club. She was always a warming and sweet spirit. She took to my daughter and became very close with her even as she got older and was there for her always . This hurts me to my heart as she was so kind and loving. I pray for you'll in this difficult time
Dear Eric, Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your wife. I am keeping you and your loved ones in my thoughts during this time of grief. If there is anything the team or I can do to support you, please do not hesitate to let us know. Wishing you peace and comfort, Amanda Fogle-Carn
Our Condolences to The Entire Family!💐
My love, thoughts, sympathy, and prayers are with the Wilkins and Robinson families during this difficult time. Nicole was such a bright light, and I will always remember the day she attended her first college class in pigtails with me and my suitemate Michelle on the campus of Winthrop College (now University). She was so excited, carrying her little book bag and notebook, and I immediately saw her passion for learning begin to blossom at an early age.
I pray you find comfort in the cherished memories and in knowing how deeply Nicole touched those around her with her infectious smile, wit and intellect, and her deep passion for life.
Nicole, my friend, sister, and classmate, you will be deeply missed. I will always cherish the memories we shared from elementary school, middle school, and high school. Your beautiful smile could light up any room, and your kind spirit touched so many people. Praying for your family during this difficult time, especially your daughter. You were truly loved and will never be forgotten. RIH 💔
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. To Arlene and family: I had the pleasure of teaching Nicole when she was in junior high/middle school. Even then, she knew what it took to succeed. Not only that her grandparents were very good friends with my family. My heart was broken when I learned of her transition. At one point when she lived in Spartanburg she joined Macedonia and was a member of our choir and worked diligently in our nursery. My condolences , prayers and love are with her entire family. Know that I love you. Continue to trust God for He alone will provide the strength and comfort you need in this difficult season of your lives.
Nicole, I'm still in shock over this news and I don't want to believe it. I just had lunch with you and Ryleigh- made you some fried pies- texted each other on Mother's Day... this isn't fair. You are a true angel with a beautiful heart and you were one of my best friends. Thank you for so many years of friendship that I will cherish forever. You were such an inspiration in so many ways and the absolute best mom to Ryleigh. I love you girl and I promise we'll meet again ❤️ Love, Holly Mabry Kesler
Sending my love family..so many old memories we shared. Gone way too soon but never will be forgotten..love you always Nicole❤️ Ishaca
My condolences to the Wilkins and Robinson families. Nicole was a beautiful person with a beautiful spirit and smile. Sleep in Paradise!
I'm so saddened to hear of my sweet friend passing. We just talked on Tuesday, May 12. You were in great spirits as always. I'll miss our Saturday morning breakfasts at First Watch in Rock Hill, texts, and phone calls. I send my deepest condolences to E, Ryleigh, mom, and family. God got an angel. May the love of Jesus comfort you all. Much love, April
My heart is broken into pieces to hear of the passing of Nicole. She and I had a special kind of bond and this breaks my heart. I am praying for her daughter Ry and her mom and the whole family. I will call them my family forever. Rest Well My Beautiful Friend. .Love Always your sister Tammy
There are people who cheer from the sidelines, and then there are people who become the heart of a team. She was the heart of ours.
For every practice, every game, every practice,she showed up with a smile that could brighten even the toughest days. She gave so much more than her time she gave love, encouragement, laughter, and unwavering support to every single girl on the team.
She made each player feel seen and celebrated. From every walk-up song to announcing each girl with excitement and pride, she created moments our daughters will never forget. She understood that softball was about more than the game ,it was about confidence, friendship, and making every child feel special.
Her kindness was constant, her support endless, and her presence unforgettable. The impact she made on these girls reaches far beyond the softball field. She helped create memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Her love for this team was felt in every detail, every smile, every encouraging word and every song that played across that speaker.
While our hearts are broken, we are incredibly grateful for the time, love, and light she shared with all of us. She will forever be a part of this team, this family, and the countless memories made under those field lights.
She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever honored by the girls, families, coaches, and everyone fortunate enough to know her. To Ry and the family , you are in our hearts and prayers. - The Hardees and the Trash Pandas .
Nicole and Ry were the first to welcome my kid and myself to the Trash Panda Team. She was always smiling and happy. Unfortunately, I only knew her for a short time; however, she made that short time jovial. My heart breaks for her family, especially her daughter. But I know this, every time I see a softball field, I will think of her and I will smile. She brought a brightness that can't be replaced. The world lost a very special person.
We at bojangles send our deepest condolences to the family
Sissssss, girl you shocked us all with this one, I'm thankful for the sisterhood that we shared, the real conversations, the tears, the laughter, the prayers, the encouragement, to say I'll miss u is a understatement, my GOD!!! I'm still in disbelief, know that you were loved and cherished, sending prayers to your entire family especially Riley, she was your everything, save me a spot on the other side sis, love always your sis Lisa
My heart truly goes out to the family! This is truly a shock to me, because Nicole text me for "Mother's Day" and she mentioned to me that she had knee surgery, and I said I would keep her in my prayers. And to hear this! My heart is truly broken! 💔 Nicole was a sweet loving person with a beautiful smile! My deepest 🙏🏾sympathy Min. Joyce Smith

Nichole I can't believe this is really real, it just don't seem real. My heart is so broken. I learned so much from you about friendships and the value of friendship. You were such a good person. I'm not understanding why you had to leave so soon. I will check on Riley, poor baby. You protected her so much and instilled so much good in her. Now you are her Guardian Angel. Soar high my beautiful Soror!!!
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
