Hailee Rombart and Nicole stayed best friends their entire life. Hailee is thirty-three years old and has never married. She says she is too busy for that kind of lame thing. Hailee spends most of her time working on designing clothing lines or spends it in Paris, which she calls, The most beautiful city in the world. Hailee lives in the heart of New York City with three pet turtles and one cat.
Nicole Marie Davis has gone back every single year to the Arizona golfing tournament. And four years ago she got first place. Thirty-two year old Nicole has since retired from professional golfing but still plays every Sunday with her husband and two sons and daughter.
Nicole met Daniel Frost when he first was a competitor and as Daniel says, She was the most beautiful person there. I knew I loved her. Nicole and Daniel married April 26th, 2014 and had Christopher Thomas November 30th, 2015, Suzanne Edi July 19th, 2017 and Marcus James April 11th, 2020. Eight-year-old Chris’s favorite pastime is playing football with his dad or riding his bike. Six-year-old Suzie loves to play with dolls and hang out with her friends. Marcus loves to do anything with his mom. He especially loves to bake cookies and is an expert three-year-old chef.
Nicole and her family reside in the same small town in Arizona Nicole grew up in. I never have remembered that day, Nicole says, Maybe it is because I don’t want to remember. I am happy with my life now and I don’t need that day to make me happy. Once a month I visit my dads grave alone. I tell him what is happening with the kids and what’s going on in life.

I hope one day I can go back there, just not yet. I have had a few health issues since the accident but mostly minor ones, nothing life threatening. Nicole never has regained her sight.

Q. When you say adjust, what do you mean?
A. I had to learn how to make dinner and do chores. I also learned how to figure skate, and paint, and even take photographs. It was not an easy transition for any of that.
Q. If you could go back and change one thing in you life, what would it be?
A. I would change the day my father died. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time. There is so much I wish I could reverse or change. I wish I had more time with my Dad or could see my mom one last time or tell Abby not to go on that bike when she was sixteen and she broke her arm. I wish I could change the past, but it’s too late. I have this saying, Life is us. It is different and difficult. It is happy and sad. It is
