Grandpa,
Happy Belated Birthday! You're always in my heart, and I have been thinking about you a lot lately. In particular, I was remembering so fondly of our drives in your car to get calzones and listening to the Beatles. I miss your witty banter with Grandma. You two are finally reunited Grandma is also missed dearly. Life has certainly changed through the years. I know you're proud of us all. Keep smiling down on all of us. Miss and love you! Xo
Love always,
Ariana

Hello Denny,
This is Janelle, your brothers wife. I know you are together in spirit with your wife, my dearest friend Carol. I miss her voice, and her knowledge, and all the things she made sure I knew about the family. I know you are with Carol, and are doing what ever it is two joined spirits do. Brian and I miss you both and send our love to you both, and to your children, Denny and Debbie. Peace and Love until we all are together in spirit.
Love,
Janelle

So it has been seven years today Dad and never a day passes that you are not thought of missed and loved and forever close to my heart. I know that you walk with and live through me each and every single day that passes. I also know that you are with God in his kingdom and watching over ALL of your loved ones each and every day. I love you Dad and words will never express just how much I miss you. A lot has changed and I and Mom have been through some really difficult times but your strength and courage lives within us and makes it possible for us to continue to put one foot in front of the other and carry on each day. I am so greatful to have had you physically in my life for 28 years and will forever cherish and hold dear every single moment we shared together, the good and the bad. I know you are with me and I know you are proud of me. I made a promise to you before that fateful day and no matter what ever happened or happens I will always live by and keep that promise. You are Never alone Dad and Mom will always have me to look over her NO matter what. I love you dad always and forever. My Father My Friend My Hero

It's been almost four years now, Dad. It took me a long time to post... a long time to grieve, and finally, to accept your passing. Alot has changed, and I am sure you see. I just want to state my love for you here. You already know how much we miss you.... you visit us from time to time. Your passing was the most saddest thing that ever happened to me in my life. Life is not the same. Everything has changed.... and it's never going to be the same again. The only thing that remains is the love and memories <3

Hello Dennis: This is Janelle, Brians significant other. Christmas has passed and we are coming on a new year. Your brother misses you everyday of his life. He told me you two always had each other and he is having a hard time, if he ever can adjust to your not being here on earth. I know you are with Jesus, and I pray you have peace now, with no pain, living in Gods emaculate world. You are missed, and all of us feel your presence.

It's been a year already. So many people miss you so very much. I have to wonder...did you know how many lives you touched? Did you know you would be missed so much? Did you know what you meant to so very many people? I wish I'd had a chance to know my uncle better than I did. I feel as though I know you more now. I pray that the family can find peace in living in this world with out you. I pray the struggles and sadness will come to an end soon.

To my "BEST FRIEND",(MY HUSBAND)..Although it has been one year since you have left it seems like it was only yesterday.I miss your WARMTH,your TOUCH,your LAUGHTER,your STRENGHTH,AND your HUMOR...I talk and laugh of YOU as though you were beside ME.. The MEMORIES we had together.,The UP'S and DOWNS we had,but proved we could be as "ONE",Thirty Nine years of LOVE.....We had a saying, and it goes like this,."AND WHEN I GO AWAY I KNOW MY HEART WILL STAY WITH MY LOVE"..I could write a book on OUR LIFE TOGETHER, but it would go on FOREVER.,So for now I will close by saying,"I LOVED YOU THEN,I LOVE YOU NOW,AND I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER"...Until WE MEET AGAIN,MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND..LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,YOUR LOVING WIFE CAROLYN....

It's been one year today that we lost a very dear person and a beloved father to our friend Dennis. You have brought such great joy to all of the lives you have touched and I remember you when you were at your strongest. When me and Dennis would be at your house even as little kids were always the coolest dad around! You always made me feel welcome and were always real and truthful about life when you would talk to me and your son. You raised a wonderful son who I have the pleasure of calling my oldest, best friend. Thank you for all of the things you have done and being the person you were and still are and your legacy is forever carried in all of our hearts. May you rest in peace.

Hello My Brother:
It seems like yesterday we were walking togehter and you were giving me pointers on baseball.You were with me all my life and I just can't get used to not having you to turn to for advice. I counted on you, and you were always there for me.Can you imagine a Yankee fan askng a Met fan for advice. Anyway, it worked. I will be missing you everyday and that will never change. With Sincere Love From your Brother Brian...I love you ,your Bro

When you lose somebody special,
Somebody you love so much,
Just think of all the good times,
The one with the special touch.
My brother was the greatest,
He made me feel so loved,
And I know he is still with me,
Because he's watching from above.
He will live in my heart forever.
