“I tell Elvis about his dad every day”

Kloots has found unique ways to keep Nick’s memory alive, especially for their son, Elvis. Now, with Eterneva, she’s creating a diamond from Cordero’s ashes—a piece she hopes will serve as a lasting, tangible reminder of his presence. It’s something she can hold close and one day pass down to Elvis.
