I am just finding out about the passing of Ms. Swindler. I was devastated to hear the news. Ms. Swindler was one of the most sweetest person I have ever known. She was my Pre-Algebra teach at Alcorn Middle School in the early 2000s. My heartfelt condolences to her family. Based on how well she treated her students, I can only imagine the love she had and showed towards her family and friends. God Bless you all.

Reminiscing over the seasons of our journey and thanking God for allowing your life to touch mines in so many ways thoughout life. High school you were there as a friend, on the job your were there as prayer warrior, in one of the biggest steps in my life ( marriage) you were there to lend a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on and a friend to depend on. Every season came and you left a trail of blessings. Now it's your season and you rest in the bossom of Christ! Well done thy good and faithful servant. Lord I thank you for sharing such an amazing gift. God bless those who are left behind to know there were no souls lost only angels rejoicing over another soul that has made it in the kingdom.

Nichel and I were students together at the University of Southern Mississippi. She was a special person whom I greatly admired. We both used the same instrument in our dissertations, so her name appears prominently in my dissertation as I referenced her work. I will miss her.

Our Grand creator Jehovah is such a loving God and he provides such wonderful provisions for us during our time of bereavement.Β  The Bible tells us at Isaiah 25:8 "that he will wipe tears from our eyes."Β  He also gives us hope in the form of the resurrection.Β  John 5:28,29 says "all those in the memorial tombsΒ  will hear his voice and come out."Β Β  The Bible gives us hope that one day our dead loved ones will be brought back to life.Β  So while we greive now for those lost to us in death, the best is yet to come!Β

I am so sorry for the loss of our beloved Dr. Nichel Holland-Swindler. Nichel was a kind and loving woman. The thing I admired and will remember about her is she was slow to speak and quick to analyze. She always had kind words to speak to others. She was an expert at giving words of wisdom, sound advice, and optimistic points of view. Nichel was a role model and an inspiration. She will truly be missed by me and many others. I pray that God gives us all the strength and endurance to heal during this time of sorrow.

I am sorry to learn of the death of your beloved family member. Jehovah God made a promise to us all at Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, For Jehovah himself has spoken it. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. When we lose someone in death, the pain, the grief and the feeling of helplessness can seem unbearable. The Bible promise: "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all that are in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." (John 5:28,29) The Bible gives us hope that one day our dead loved ones will be brought back to life. I hope this message offers comfort in your time of sadness.

God has called one of his faithful servants home. Dr. Nichel Swindler was a loving, kind and wonderful educator who took me under her wing last year upon my arrival at Lincoln ES. She was going through treatment at the time, but was very selfless and wanted to ensure I felt welcome and my needs were being met. Our school closed at the end of last year and when I arrived at my new school, Nichel had packaged up extra boxes and sent them to my new classroom. I was also moving to a new grade and that was her way of taking care of me. God sends us angels and she was definitely mine during my transition back to Ft. Campbell for medical purposes last year.
I pray that God wraps his arms around her children and comforts her family. She is no longer in pain and is rejoicing with the Lord. You will forever have an Angel watching over you and guiding you through life.

Words cannot express the impact that Nichel had on my life. She had a gentle spirit and was always willing to help the next person feel excepted and welcomed at Lincoln Elementary School. She served many long hours in an effort to promote a quality learning environment. She had a servant mentality and I am certain that the Master has welcomed her into His loving arms saying nothing less than "Well done, my good and faithful servant for you have served my children well". It is with regret that I live so far and cannot be present to pay my respects personally, but Nichel and her children were loved by me. I will miss you Nichel. Rejoice in heaven as there is no more suffering there.
