For the family of Nils Goodwin

I am Nils' cousin, Jennifer.  I do not want to be writing this more than anything in this world, but I feel all I can do is reach out to those who know and love Nils, Noelle,  my aunt Dorit, my uncle Walter and Beth, my cousins Nicky, Lily, Luca, Dana and all of the rest of his family and friends.

Thank you Nils for being such a bright person in all of our lives. You are an amazing human being, son, boyfriend, brother, cousin, friend, uncle, mentor and role model to innumerable people. 

I know it will not lessen the extent to which any of us are greiveing, but if anyone feels so inclined to alleviate the stress financially for his family to take care of things in the next few weeks please do. 

There will be a memorial for Nils on Bainbridge Island Decemeber 20, 2015. More details to come. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Peace and Love,
Jennifer
