I think people remember Nicole as a body at the bottom of a staircase covered by a white bloody sheet - as a battered woman - and the wife of Simpson, but Nicole was a daughter, a sister, and a really good wife - and a really good mom. She was a human being who walked this earth and would give you the shirt off her back, a person who would make sure you had somewhere to go on a holiday, a birthday, a Christmas, before her candle got blown out. She was a simple girl - denim and diamonds. You could take her to the beach and the White House all in one day.
