Nick - I can feel you watching over us and sense your gentle spirit is at peace and gaining strength. I treasure my memories of our late night talks, our long walks, elaborate practical jokes, and so much laughter. Thanks for showing me every day how much you loved me. It will last me a life time. It was so much fun to raise you. You are exactly the kind of boy I wanted. I love you son. Mom xo

Christmas is a time that everyone spends with their loved ones and I am sure that it is a difficult time for Nick's friends and family. Nick is always there in more ways than one and he is watching over all the people that he loves as we speak. I hope everyone one has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Missin you Nick!

Oct-28-04

Nick-I was just sitting here and thinking about our awesome math class with Mrs. Barnes. You crack me up! I will never meet ANYBODY who can think up things like you do. I was also talking to a bunch of people that i have met down here and I was listening to all the hilarious and crazy stories they remember about all their highschool friends and all I can do is smile, because they have never met a guy like you and will never be able to come close to the stories that I remember. You are in the heart and soul of everyone that you come across. I miss you and think about you all the time. Love u nick.

Hey Nick- I was flipping through the radio stations the other day and I heard this country song...there was a part that reminded me of you. It goes, "I'm already there. Take a look around, I'm the sunshine in your hair. I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind. I'm your imaginary friend. And I know I'm in your prayers. Oh, I'm already there." You're not here physically, but everyone knows you're in the hearts of everyone that loves you! Love always, Jenn

Sep-24-04

Nicholas - John Fusil lives on in our hearts, minds and especially memories. Not a day passes where you fail to at least graze my thoughts. I feel your presence and a heightened level of comfort and safety knowing you are watching over me. I hope everyone has learned to celebrate your life and the seemingly endless memories you provided us with. I look forward to our continuing friendship. Take it easy. I love and miss you. - Matt

I dont know Nick. Never did. I live in Colonial Heights, work in Richmond. I was driving down Midlothian Tunrnpike heading back to work when I saw the billboard. I stopped and stared at it. I could only think what his friends and family must be going through. I have an idea. I'm a Volunteer Emergency Medical Technician. I work these kind of calls. I did one last Saturday morning, just after midnight. 19 years old with a BAC level of 3.85. Barely conscious. He survived, but he'll never know my face. Only the sound of my voice as I tried to keep him in the conscious world. To all of you that knew Nick I'm sorry for your loss. Even now (for someone that I didn't know) I'm feeling the grief associated with a loss like this. I lost my best friend of 7 years to suicide. Take a moment to tell those that you love that you love them. Whosever idea it was to post that billboard on Midlothian Turnpike, my hats off to you. I'm a total stranger and it got my attention. Thanks for your time. God Bless his family and friends. Remember "It's A Nicer World With You In It."

I posted something on this site earlier and I was kinda shy about what to put, but the response people have given about Nick or other situations has been so beautiful and so touching. When we were about ten or so, Nick had one of those crystal balls that had the electricity waves going around all in the inside. He put a nickel on top of the ball and then touched it with a key and it made this huge spark. Then, he tried to convince us it wouldn't hurt to put our fingers on top of the nickel and let him touch us with the key. Needless to say, it was a good try. I think back to those days and wish that there were more of them. I know that everyone who has posted something and who has experienced a tragedy like Nick's death is fighting the battle he would be fighting if he was still here with us.

Nick and I are cousins...unfortunately because of distance we didn’t have the opportunity to see each other very often…however when we were able to get together we had the best time! We are only a few years apart in age, so it seemed like when we spent time together we began right were we left off! He and I always made people laugh at family get togethers (and were rewarded money for doing so too!!!) I can remember the excitement I felt when I knew Nick was going to be somewhere with me, he’s an awesome kid! I am grateful and honored to have shared some wonderful memories with Nicholas that I will hold onto until he and I meet again! Things remembered: “His names Whitey!” The week at Cuba Lake, Nicks School fair in VA, introducing me to the South Park comedy/cartoon at a sleepover at Grandpa and Grandmas house, and of course the infamous arm-pit fart! Thank you Nick for sharing some great times with me, I love you!

May-16-04

As one of Nick's uncles I had the priviledge of knowing Nick as an infant and in his early years. What an adorable little boy he was, and what an incredible pair of lungs he had! It makes me proud to know the kind of young man he became. Unfortunately distance prevented me from getting to Nick during his teen years, but I always relished the stories my brother Bob would tell about his beloved son. Nick was truly special! I have no doubt he is entertaining our loved ones in Heaven, at this very moment. Until I see you again Nicholas, Heaven can wait!

May-13-04

I was never fortunate enough to have the chance to meet Nick but even though I have never met him, he has touched me in a way I cannot explain. The concert was a success. He has the best friends and family in the world to put this together. It touched everyone there and you just knew that Nick was there too. This foundation is such a wonderful thing to do and I greatly commend everyone that has worked so hard to put it all together. It has effected so many people in such a positive way including me. Thanks for everything. God bless

May-11-04

There is a lot i could say about Mr. Nick, but the only thing that i would like to share is the fact that Nick is awesome and i wish he was here...but he is around us all the time..I love you man.

May-09-04

I lost my dad last april (2003) and i will never forget the feelings that i had. "it cant happen to me" i keept telling myself, but it did. I hope poeple will realize how bad things can happen so easily. sorry to all that know him, may you alwase remember him

May-08-04

Through the pains and stories of my friends I miss Nick. Unfortunately I never knew him all too well (probably because he was older and is cooler than I will ever be). To this day happy occasions bring stories back to the minds of my friends about Nick and what a great individual he was. I applaud the efforts of the wishuwerehere foundation and hope all readers and listeners will heed their message, Nick's was a great life and nobody can afford to lose anybody else like him.

May-07-04

There is nothing more special than a life, and to lose one to anything that could be prevented is a tragedy in itself. From what i knew about Nick, he was an incredible kid who had it all taken away by one or 2 bad choices. He left wonderful friends, and a memory that would not even be diminished by time. Everyone must learn from the tragic loss we see here and remember to think before we take any actions that might determine the future of our lives, because a life is too precious to toss around carelessly...

May-07-04

I think this is great what yall are doing for Nick. Eventhough i didnt kno him, im sure he's looking down on all yall smiling with that cute face of his wishing he was there to thank you. Like i said, i never got to meet Nick, but hearing all about him i wish i could have. Good Luck with everything. Much love.

May-07-04

We love Nick's face on the billboard. I stopped to tell my girlfriends in the car that he was hot (sorry) and we freaked out when we realized he is deceased. We're sorry!!! You can tell by his face that he was a sweet boy. We wish we could hug him and all of y'all. Good luck!! We will tell people about you guys.

May-06-04

Nick helped me through some tough times back at home, and i'm grateful beyond words for his friendship back in the day. i almost regret leaving now because i didn't get to spend more time with him...especially this past summer. i think about you every day, and the game of tunnel tag still lingers in my mind often. daniels generator always puts a smile on my face. i can't make it this saturday...but i'll be there in spirit.

Marc Putney has been gone for almost three years now. He was finishing up school at New Kent High School when he got in his accident. He was like a big brother to me and a dear friend, brother and son to others. Not a day goes by that he isn't missed. He is in my thoughts and my heart always and forever.

May-04-04

There is not a story about Nick that has been told that didn't make me laugh or smile, that didn't show how much of an incredible friend and person he was, and that didn't reflect in all those close to him. I didn't get to meet Nick but from stories and his incredible family and friends I feel like I have gotten to know him.

May-04-04

I did not realize what a special part of my life Nick was until his accident. Teenagers need to understand that we are not invincible. Each moment could be your last, but you might as well not guarantee that it is. I love Nick so much and I will always remember what an awesome guy he was... we had so many funny stories in the past. I only wish we had more, and I wish that we could have more in the future... Wish you were here.

May-03-04

The Nick I know ... I shall never meet. May his life in death touch as many lives as those who knew him here on earth. The Nick I know, lives through friends of whom beauty bows its' head. May the fountain of fortune allow them to carry his message. The Nick I know, has a families' love that touches no boundaries. May they never stand alone in their grief. May the power of being free his loved ones from the pain of loss. May gratitude for life, and peace fill its place. May Nick provide us strength and guidance through tomorrow.
