“My heart is so heavy. We lost a beautiful soul this week,” the former NSYNC bandmember began in a heartfelt tribute. “Nicole lit up every room she walked into. On and off the stage she was a constant source of joy and positivity.”
Timberlake continued, “Some things feel so unfair and we will never understand why they happen. What I do know is that we were blessed to laugh with her, to travel with her, and to experience her infectious smile and love for a life filled with music.”
“Nicole, it’s not enough to say that I am going to miss you dearly. Thank you for your light. I will do my best to carry that with me. I love you, my sister. Forever family and forever a TN Kid. 💔,” Timberlake ended his post.
