A New Day, a New Venue for the Benefit!

We are very excited to be moving the 9th Annual Nicole Frese Memorial Fund Benefit Dinner to a local venue, Paris Caterers in nearby Blackwood, NJ. It's right on the Black Horse Pike near Church Street — easy to find, plenty of parking, a nice indoor facility that takes the weather out of the mix. This year's event will be held on Sunday, September 23, from 5-9 PM so we can get everyone home nice and early.

Many, many thanks to The Flying W for hosting the event for so many years. They always did a great job. We simply felt it was time for a bit of a change up, and we wanted to move the event just a tad close to our Turnersville, NJ home.

Some things will NOT change: we'll still have a terrific Chinese auction, great friends, and super music from Love Alive, who will probably be doing a full set of music this year for everyone.

So we hope you'll be joining us this year for a great time, for a great cause, as we try to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of South Jersey and the Camden County Animal Shelter.

Thank you for your support and love over all these years. We still miss our Nicole terribly, and you can't imagine how good it makes us feel to be able to raise money for these great causes in her name.

Love,
Nick & Cindi

We're Halfway There!

Thanks to the donations made by many dear friends and family members to the Nicole Frese Memorial Fund, we are extremely glad to report to you that the Fund balance now exceeds $24,000!

It is our hope to sustain the event, begun in 2004, until we reach our end goal of $40,000. It will be at this point that the fund can become self sustaining, enabling us to make charitable donations on an annual basis in Nicole's honor.

Toward that end, we've already achieved quite a bit. Including this year's donations to the Ronald McDonald House in Camden and the Camden County Animal Shelter, the Nicole Frese Memorial Fund has allocated $9,500 to charities. Please take a moment to review the financial report on our site. None of this happens without your help, support, and sacrificial giving.

See you next year!

Welcome to The Nicole Frese Website!

Thank you for stopping by to visit our virtual home. This site is dedicated to my baby, Nicole, who was taken from us on December 13, 2002.

Here is a letter from the Camden Ronald McDonald thanking us for our donation in 2006. We hope to eventually build the Nicole Frese Memorial Fund to the point where it is self-generating, and helps families, children and animals into infinity. Nicole would LOVE that!

I’ll also try to keep you updated on what’s going on with us, things that mean something to each of us, and also updates on Corvino Family stuff that I happen to hear about.

Enjoy!

Life Unbroken Death is nothing at all... I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you... Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used... Put no difference into your tone Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the house- hold word that it always was Let it be spoken without effort without a ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind? Because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval, Somewhere very near, just around the corner... All is well. Canon Henry Scott-Holland, 1847-1918, Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral
