NICOLE ZAHDA-RAE SCHMID
Date of Passing: Oct 30, 2013
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryNICOLE ZAHDA-RAE SCHMID Tragically, on October 30, 2013, our angel Nicole was taken from us. Nicole was involved in numerous activities in her short life, but her favorite was exploring with grandpa. We never knew what they would bring home. She would always say "grandpa showed me that" or she would phone grandma and say, "What are you having for supper? I don't like what mom made for us." Nicole always looked forward to her cousins all coming down to visit. They would all follow grandpa outside in any season. She loved her dog Ben who she called "Beanie Boy" even though she would get so mad at him for going into her bedroom and dragging out her socks and shoes. Nicole had a talent for making up quotes or finding them and writing them on any surface she could find. She was a very kind and loving girl with a great sense of humour. Left to cherish her memories are her mom and dad, Colleen and Wayne Schmid; grandparents, Bill and Bev Purvis; numerous aunties, uncles and cousins; her special "sister" Kianna, and all of her close friends too numerous to name. "God has her in His keeping, We have her in our hearts forever." "Its funny how the people who hurt you the most were the ones who swore that they wouldn't." In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Marymound Youth Addiction Stabilization Unit, 462 Provencher Blvd., Winnipeg, Manitoba R2J 0B9.

Nicole and I were best friends for years, we were inseparable. I always remember the first day we met, I was with my grandpa, and she was with hers. We were both so shy, but we ended up creating a "message in a bottle", and threw it into the Red River. I will never forget all of the sleepovers, good times, laughs, and moments that we shared together. She was that person that could always make me laugh no matter what. She had such a great personality, and always gave great advice. She was always there for her friends, and I feel so lucky to have been in her life. All of the memories I have with her are so amazing, and they will never be forgotten. We would always write each other notes/letters about how much we loved each other. I always remember when I got my tonsils out, and she showed up at my house with a "get well soon" card, and a stuffed puppy. I would never trade a single minute spent with her, for anything in the world! Wayne and Colleen, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you guys always, and sending my love and sympathies. She left us way too early. Heaven has another beautiful angel! I love you so much Nicole, you'll be forever missed. <3<3<3 xoxoxoxo - Posted by: Carleigh Bourgeois (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2013

Dear Wayne and Colleen, I remember the day Nicole was born. Wayne, you and I were both working at Harris Chev and you guys were so excited to be parents of a brand new baby girl. I remember watching Nicole grow up as Colleen would bring her into the dealership often. Later, when I was working at Ruth Hooker School I would see Nicole and she was always smiling and so friendly. Nicole would always say hi whenever I would run into her. As parents of a daughter the same age, we cannot even begin to imagine your loss. Thinking of you both at this sad time. - Posted by: Cheryl & Aaron Hoium (Friends) on: Nov 04, 2013

Wayne and Colleen, I am truly sorry for your loss. I have watched a very bright child grow into a beautiful young lady, who is now in the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ. My thoughts and prayers are with you both at this time of sorrow, but in time, your hearts will heal, and you will remember her as the beautiful girl you both remember. She will be watching over the both of you now, and someday you all will meet again. - Posted by: Carol Cumberland (Neighbor and friend) on: Nov 04, 2013

Nicole and I were really close in middle school. We sat next to each other in a lot of classes, and my fondest memory of her is when we'd always laugh to the point of tears, not even listening to the teacher. She was always making jokes, she was SO funny. I loved her giggle so much. I could talk to her about anything, and she'd always back me up. She was the most understanding, kind, and funniest person. We'd always "borrow" each others clothes (though we mostly never gave them back, haha), and have little sister arguments, then forget about it 5 minutes later. This may sound like a cliché, but Nicole really impacted me. She'd tell me to let loose, let free, and let live. She told me to not care what others thought, and to be myself no matter what. She was the best role model for that. She was absolutely stunning; gorgeous. I wish we hadn't drifted the past year. I loved her so much, and even thinking about her now... It doesn't seem real. I refuse to say goodbye because goodbye means forever; we'll meet again at the crossroads. I love you so much, Nicole! <3 see you in a bit..! :) - Posted by: Deirdre (Close friend from middle school) on: Nov 03, 2013

Our deepest condolences to Wayne and Colleen and their families. We were honoured to be there when she arrived at grandma's to see their new bundle of joy. Then came that special day, when Colleen and Wayne asked Uncle Ray to be her godfather!! Wow he was excited!!! They formed their special bond and Uncle Ray took his godfather's duties seriously!! He loved to tease her and her smile lit up the room. She loved to be with Tara and do crazy homework and there was a lot of laughter!!! The homework got done though. Nicole was an amazing young woman and we all said her smile will go on forever!!! To our girl, you will never leave our hearts and we will celebrate your life forever. We will meet again. Fly our little angel fly!! Free from pain!! I know you will be mom and dad's angel!!! We will look up each night to find the brightest star and that will be our Nicole smiling!!! R.I.P.

Dear Colleen and Wayne, We could never even begin to convey to you and your families the sorrow and sadness we all feel at this time. Our children's paths have crossed on so many occasions and the commonalities of their lives and the people in them has been remarkable. Truly our hearts hurt at this tragic loss and our sympathies could not be greater. We know that this time will seem unbearable, and can only imagine your pain and hurt. Please know that there people who genuinely care and will support and comfort you all in whatever way is most appropriate. As we said previously, our children's paths have crossed so many times, and we will remember Nicole as a beautiful young girl and one of Teigun's friends. Once again our deepest condolences. David, Maggie and Teigun Bell - Posted by: Bell, Maggie, David and Teigun (friends) on: Nov 02, 2013

Wayne, we are all so very sorry for this horrible pain you are feeling. Nicole is a very beautiful girl, she had a very loving heart, and a sweet voice, a great sense of humour as well as very compassionate. You did a great job of raising her. YOU ARE NICOLE SCHMID'S FATHER, no one can take that away from you. Your family loved her immensely, we wish we could have been there more for you and her. NO father should have to bury a child. As the days, weeks, months and years unfold, remember you have a family and friends (who are your family) love you and care for you deeply as well as Nicole. We will be there for you until the end of time. We know your heart is broken, we will be there to help pick up the pieces and put it back together again, but we all know there will be one piece missing. "Death leaves a heart ache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." To Nicole's friends, please love each other, guide and encourage each other. Push each other in the positive direction, if you feel after all your efforts your friend is not listening, please tell your mom and/or dad, they can offer you advice, other ways to help you help your friend. Loving you both unconditionally, (Auntie) Brenda, (Uncle) Tim, Scott (Alyshia), Ashley, Alyssa, Cale (Brenna), Auntie Virgie, Perry, Dana, Cheyenne and Ryan. Another link of our family chain is gone for now, but one day we will all be joined together again. I was told you are sitting on "Poppa Cec's" lap. We know "Poppa Cec" will keep you close because you are already safe in the loving arms of Jesus. WE LOVE YOU NICOLE SCHMID! XOXO - Posted by: Brenda McBride (Aunt) on: Nov 02, 2013
