Hey Uncle Sal, havent posted here in a while but Ive been thinking a lot about you. Last time I posted here I was probably not even in high school yet. Now Im sure as you know I graduated college in May. I wore the ring I got from you after you left on my graduation day, got it resized and cleaned up for the occasion. I wanted you to be there with me. I wore it on my right hand and was advised to receive my diploma in my left, while shaking hands with my right. Being that the ring was on the right hand, I grabbed my diploma with that hand - I grabbed it with you and you helped me take it off that stage. I hope youre proud of me and the man Im trying to become. Keep looking down on all of us, sometimes we need the blessings more than only you would know. I miss you everyday.
Btw the Mustang still runs and shines just as you left it.
Love you forever,
Sal

Dearest Sal,
You have been in the my thoughts and prayers since the day I heard the news of your passing. You have and always will hold a very special place in my heart. We shared alot of good times together and I will treasure those memories. On Sunday I went to the beach in your memory and I'm sure you know that was no easy task for me considering how much I just "love" the beach and then at around 3:30 it started to rain and I looked up and started to laugh and I know you were laughing with me. Until we meet again.
Love,
Meg

Uncle Skittles,
I can't express the love I still hold strong in my hear for you..For you im going to write a poem off the top of my head im at grandmas right now on grandpas laptop so here it is,
I remember the good days,
The days we would come visit you,
Suprise you,
Those days are not over,
Now when ever you want you can come over!
Though these days only got colder,
As I am getting older,
I know you will always be that consciece on my sholder,
Everyones love for you will always and forever be solid like a boulder.
I love you Skittles

Hi Sal: (7/25/10) was two years we were without you. It hasn't been easy these past 2 years. Dad and I are broken hearted and are not having a good time accepting this loss. It is not easy losing a Special Son, who was so perfect in every way. You never complained about anything and probably never would tell us the many times you had pains and fever. You were very brave and courageous and not many people would have endured what you went through all those years. We were with you on 7/25/10 at Pinelawn, then we all had breakfast afterwards and then went to Long Beach, outside of your Condo, and sent balloons up to you in the sky and we knew you saw all of us and how much we all care about you. You probably were laughing at all of us with the sense of humor you had. This will be a ritual every year from now on your anniversary. Dad and I have requested a Bench on the Boardwalk in your honor, hopefully close to your Condo, in memory of you and how much you loved the beach. It will be the Salvatore M. Monello Memorial and when we sit on it, we will be suntanning with you all the time, as you always baked in the sun. We love you dearly and you will always be in our hearts forever. Love you with lots of hugs and kisses. Mom and Dad.
July 26, 2010
To the Monello Family,
You are very dear people to us. We were so grateful to see you last evening. You have the most amazing family. May God's love and blessings be with you always.
With love,

Uncle Sal,
I cannot believe how quickly these past two years have gone. It feels like just yesterday I was showing you my permit and you told me you were getting off the road as soon as you could. Well since then I have got my license and got ONLY one speeding ticket! I'm also working at Century 21, your favorite store. It's my favorite store now too, and I wish you were here to share my discount. I know you were with my throughout my senior year and I really do wish you were there for graduation. But I know, as I continue off to Oneonta, you will be watching over me. So don't worry I won't do anything you wouldn't do. I love you and miss you everyday! (especially when I'm lying on the sand at lido)
Love You,
Gina

Sal, It's been two long years since your smile, laughter and sense of humor were taken away from all who love you. We have kept and will continue to keep your spirit alive by reminiscing, looking at pictures and realizing all the signs you send us. Although this book is ending, we will continue to talk to you in our own way and if you feel like responding...we're all ears!! We miss you Sal! Nothing will ever be the way it was because of the void in our hearts. We may smile each day and go on with our lives but there is not one day that goes by without thinking of you.
Marina and Salvatore speak of you all the time and miss you so much. Stay with them always and share with them the incredible strength you've shown your whole life.
Mario misses you terribly, I can see the hurt in his eyes even though he doesn't say much. He notices your signs too and they make him happy to know you are around. Well, gotta go you. Stay close!! xoxox
Love ya, Franni

Uncle Sal,

Love,
Joseph

Uncle Sal,
I didn’t even realize it but in the last month I’ve started praying at least twice a day—on my way to and from work as I pass Pinelawn and think of you. I already have and will continue to visit as often as I can although it will never be often enough and is not the same as having you here. I got the job on my second interview-on your birthday and I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a coincidence so thank you. You were on my mind as Gina and I graduated and I know you were there. I wish you were here to talk to but I also know you are still listening every time- your thoughts and advice were and still are extremely important to me. I love you and miss you more and more each day.
Love always,
Salina

Dear Uncle Sal,
My 9th birthday is coming up.Oh by the way this is Anthony. I'm going to miss you sitting next to me by Aunt Fran's pool taking a picture by my birthday cake.
I miss you
Love, Anthony
July 14, 2010
My Dear Brother Sal,
I'm having trouble finding the right words to express how much it meant for me to have had you as my brother. My life has changed in many ways since the day you left me/us. I wish you were here to help guide me through the many situations and decisions I've had to deal with since then. I miss you very much.
I'm sure you were very proud to look down upon Salina and Gina on their Graduation Day. You were probably sitting right beside them as their proud Uncle. Gina is working at your favorite store Century 21. Joseph is waitering in the same building you waitered in when it was Jahn's Ice Cream Palor. As he continues to search for jobs in NYC, he proudly wears your stylish suit's on interviews. Anthony received First Holy Communion last year and missed sitting beside you at dinner. He still sleeps with your picture under his pillow every night and is so happy to have your bedroom furniture surround him.
They ALL miss you very much...You were a role model to each and everyone of them.
The past two years have not been the same without you...
I will always cherish our childhood memories...Our days of laughter, holding each others hand, and of course our little disagreements from time to time...
I miss you terribly....
Love you with all my Heart...
Your Sister oxoxoxo

Happy Birthday Son! You are missed tremendously. We thought of you all day long and there isn't a day that goes by without talking to you each day. I know you were with us all day and how much this day meant to you. We love you dearly and miss you a great deal. Love and Kisses Mom & Dad

Then it was off to moms for dinner. Lasagna (Your favorite) and birthday cake ...I sure do miss ya buddy...You're always on my mind...Hugs Todd

Dear Sal, we were friends many years. I'm talking about the Jahn's ice cream parlor days. Last night I was at Mary Occhinos in Center Moriches with family and friends. She asked me if the name Sal comes to my mind in any way, then quickly she said you and his mom share the same birthday. She continued on by saying you are a very funny guy, always with a smile and a very harty laugh and in a good way you have the devil in your eyes with those lifted eyebrows. Right away your handsome face game to my mind. Mary said sal wants you to say hello and while my eyes started to fill up I said hello to you. I had no idea you passed over till last night. My heart goes to your family I know how close you all were and still are. I'm sorry we fell out of touch and I thank you for remembering me last night and for the great memories you gave me when we were teenagers.

February 10th 2010, 1:40 a.m,
Dear Uncle Skiddles,
Today is my 13th birthday and i wish you were here I remember everything about you suchas on my 10th birthday I was sitting on the couch in the den andd u come threw the door and shout "WHERE'S THE BIRTHDAY BOY," as i came sprinting up the stairs and gave you a bear hug and smelt your family famous smell. Oh, and how u looked so dapper that day, when weren't you? I never told anyone this but I knew you knew that Cinese Food was my favorite so when we get Chinese Food I always rush to the fortune cookies because i always feel like your trying to communicate with me threw them and I always feel that I know you do. I remember when you were telling me about my tenus shot and how i was scared to take it but I remember the first person whom I called after I had conquerd it and that person was you. Uncle Sal I miss you so much and I can feel you over me right now and I just wanted to tell you that I will never forget you and will always love you.
Love, Salvatore

I just want you to see whats behind these eyes,
The eyes that carry all these lies,
The eyes that are fierce when needed
The eyes that sometimes nearly pleaded
These eyes are like stones,
They have all different types of tones,
I never thought you would break them,
But I’ve got to admit, you were quite a gem,
Now each tear I shed is for you,
I never thought I could be so blue
Just from thinking of you
But now that your gone,
I feel like i have to be strong,
So I don’t cry, is that wrong?
The memorizes I had with you were so much fun,
I really wish those times weren’t done,
Every once in a while I try and talk to you,
Even though there’s nothing you can do.
I never wanted to see you go the way you did,
I’ve known you since I was a little kid,
Even playing with that little blue ball,
I miss everything, and you most of all.

January 22, 2010: This month on the 25th is 18 months that you have left us.
Your life was such a blessing;
Your memory a Treasure;
You are loved beyond words and missed
beyond measure;
Your light will always shine on us and
your name will still be spoken;
Your heart's a part of ours; Dear Sal;
with a love that won't be broken;
Though time goes by without you;
and the days turn into years;
They hold a million memories and a
thousand silent tears;
As we gather at your grave with
flowers, balloons and such;
We'll sit on your bench and pray a
while;
It does not seem like much;
But, it's all that we can give you now,
when you are in Heaven above;
We hope that you will hear these words;
As we send you all our love;
We miss you so much, all our love always and forever. Love and Kisses Mom and Dad

As time is going by, we often wonder if you're with us. When we went to the city, it was weird because we always went in as a family. A few days after, while looking at the pictures I took, I realized you WERE there!! It is great to know that although we took our first family picture without you...you made it clear that you were part of it. In almost all of the pictures I have of us, you were always next to Dad or Marina...and in this picture, you're right where you would be standing. Miss you and love you everyday!!

Christmas and New Years were not the same without you. We visited you the day after the big snow storm and we could not get out of the car since the snow was up to our waist. We did get to see you on Monday, January 4th and Dad and I visited and talked with you. We think of you 24/7 and we talk about you constantly. We miss you dearly and I know you are always with us. Our hearts are with you always. Love you much! Mom

Hey you!! Miss you more as time is going by. People say it get's 'easier' with time...it doesn't, it gets 'different'. You're table is going to look great here, thank you! Every time we sit at it we'll remember the surprise dinners we had in Long Beach. Talking to you now is much like being on the phone with you...you never said much lol but I get the signs. Stick around, it's nice to know you're here. As I promised, not a day goes by that me and the kids don't talk about you. You were, and still are a HUGE part of their lives. They miss you so much, always be with them (I know I don't have to say that). Talk to you later. Love ya!

Sept. 25, 2009: Today is 14 months since you have left us. As the days and months go by, missing you and hearing your voice and laughter is extremely difficult for Dad and I. We both think of you 24/7 and it doesn't get any better. Our pictures of you and all your household belongings are with us always. Love you with all our hearts forever. Hugs and Kisses Mom and Dad.

Dad, Mario, Fran, Marina, Salvatore and I went to Cooperstown to see Salvatore in a baseball tournament. We stayed in the Holiday Inn in Oneonta and Salvatore had to stay in the baseball complex in the All-Star Village with his team. It was very nice and we had a great time, especially sitting in the ball field with temperatures in the 90's. It was very hot. We all thought of you and there were signs of you that came to us very often. We know you were with us all the time. We miss you terribly and each day gets harder and harder to be without you. Love you Mom & Dad

July 15, 2009. Happy Birthday Sal. We missed you on 6/15/09. Dad and I came to see you and then went to the beach with Carol. We all know how much the beach meant to you. We had a cake for you on Father's Day and celebrated your birthday with Dad's day. We love and miss you more and more each day. I cannot believe it will soon be 1 year that you are in heaven. Dad and I are always thinking and talking about you. Our lives have changed tremendously. Loving you always Mom and Dad.

No candles on the cake today, balloons are heading your way.
I still feel the love in your embrace, and the tears that day on your face.
You wanted to be home for your birthday last year, I'm so glad you got to spend it here.
Wondering what beach you're on today, where ever it is I know the skies are not gray.
I can't say our wish will ever come true, it never can because we don't have you.
Love and miss you!! Happy Birthday

Hey you!!! I've been really missing you lately. It's not been easy designing the kids rooms without your unique flair for style! I think you would approve (except maybe for the color of Marina's walls lol). Your comforter looks great in Sal's room. Could you believe he has stayed in his room every night so far. I think that blanket has something to do with it!! By the way...he wanted to take off from school the day of his birthday, sound familiar?? We all miss you and like I said in my first note to you, we talk about you everyday. We even smile and laugh a little now when we do. The pain has not lessened, and I don't think it ever will. Always in my heart and on my mind. Love Ya!!

Our Dearest and Special Son Sal: Many tears have been shed since the day you left us. There aren't enough words to tell you how much we miss you and love you. Our hearts are broken and will never be mend without you. You have been a joy and love in our lives. From the day you were born, we had nothing but great and wonderful years. Our talks with you were phenomenal in any subject we discussed. You were brilliant in all topics and very logic. You dressed beautifully and your wardrobe was elegant and the selection of clothes were exquisite and tasteful and Mr. GQ fitted you perfectly. You excelled in school as well as college and your work ethics in the companies you worked for as CEO/CFO were outstanding. We go through every day reminiscing your childhood years as well as your adulthood. You were our Special Son who never complained about anything and always had a smile with a sense of humor. You worked very hard even when you weren't feeling good but never said a word. You had many friends that cared about you; if only you could have seen the support and love that was extended and said about you. We miss you tremendously and our lives will never be the same. We love you Sal and each and every day you are always in our thoughts and hearts forever. Life is not the same anymore without a Son, Brother and Uncle who was very Special to all of us. You loved life, music, dancing and was a perfectionist in every way. As parents, it is not easy to cope with the loss of a son, who meant so much to us and never asked for anything but did everything by himself by being very independent. We thank God for giving us such a beautiful Son for such a short time. Love you dearly and forever. Love and Kisses Mom & Dad

Sal and I rode the LIRR together, shared accounting nightmares, job searching issues and Co-op board stories. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sal had a great sense of humor. He always made me laugh with his sarcasm. I have often thought of Sal and wondered how he was doing, but shame on me for not following through...I've learned a valuable lesson. Robin
