Hi Dad. I´m writing today because it is the anniversary of the worst day of our lives. The day God had to call you home. You were too young to go. You should still be here with us. But God wanted you for bigger and better things. I have gone each and every day since broken hearted and as it gets to be a bit easier every day and year that passes. Not a single day goes by without me wishing I could speak or tell you something or most of all hug and kiss you. I miss you dad with every bit of my soul and I only hope to one day be all together again. For a life of eternal happiness and wholeness in heaven. I hope you are at peace and safe. Today we will celebrate your life and legacy as we always do. And cherish every moment we had. I love you Dad. Till we talk again Love your Salvi.

Hey Dad, I didn't write to you on Fathers day,but you are all I thought about. I'm a father and I still don't feel like one yet. I can do better,its just hard because I'm always working. I wish I had more time. I think I work so much because I try and keep my mind of of things. I miss you everyday more and more and I will till the day I sleep. I don't see mom much which I hate,I really want to see her as much as I can because I love her and it makes me think of when you were here. And I want to get as much time as I can with mom because I know I only have another 15 or so years to do so. I hope longer. Well I hope you had a good day for fathers day,I hope you can see how much I think of you,how much we all do. Its so hard to go on without you here,I wished we could be together forever,all of us. But dad I want you to know we had the best family anyone could have and I am very proud of that. We are smart ambitious beautiful human beings and its because of you and mom. I love you dad,Gianna is getting big and Johnny,Alisha is a women now and I wish so bad that you could see them all. Gianna knows who you are when she see your picture. She will always know you,I wish she had the chance to really know you. Well,I could go on but ill be back.....its still like a horrible nightmare and I wish that's all it was. But,I hope you know we were all there with you on your last days on earth,I hope you could feel me and here me in the hospital room. I didn't wanna leave but we had to. Daddy you are greatly missed and everyone loved you. Everyone. As I asked before,can you be by our sides forever and welcome us to heaven when it is our time? I miss you. Talk to you soon. Love you with all my soul.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Hi John, I wrote on your page yesterday to wish you happy halloween, but I don't see it ,but thats allright I can talk to you again today. The kids went out together last night with Little Johnny and Gianna, I heard they had a good time , Gianna did not want to walk so I guess they had to carry her,Gina said her arms were sore today , as you can see she is a little butterball, I know you would love her so much, she looks real Italiano, just as you wanted her to look. Little Johnny went right up to the houses and said trick o treat, he was'nt shy at all, they are both so beautiful, I wish they could see you,I know you can see them and I know you are so proud of them, but I'm sure they will know about you, with the stories that John, Sal and Gina have for them as they get older, I have to go now, the Yankees are playing again tonight, they are doing really good, your probably on the field with them making stupid remarks. Hug the kids extra tight tonight while thier sleeping, I know they all miss you so much, I know its so hard for them around your birthday and the holidays,I know that I can feel you all around me and I hope they feel it too, I know that you are right beside us always, talk to you soon, Love you always and forever Nancy

Dad,
it's Sal i miis you so much. it's just been so hard on us and i'm just as hurting today as i was the day we lost you. I dont know what i can do to accept this but i dont think that i ever will.
All i know is i guess we all go sometime and god needed you for something,i hope you are at peace with everything that bothered you in your life on earth. But if anything is real and still true it is the love we all have for you and the love you had for us.That will never die.
I just miss you so so much dad and i wish i could talk to you and see you kiss mom again and watch the game with you or just talk to ya about how im doing. I hope you can see us all.
we love you. I cant wait to see you again.Well ill be back. I love you
October 18, 2009
I was just thinking about you today. It was funny, the other day we were on our way out, John and Johnny were taking the trash out and Johnny said "It rained there." Just like that...I was hysterical thinking about that story John used to tell me and how he would poke fun at you. I'm laughing now as I think of it. The smile that your son had in his eyes at that split second...amazing! We laughed the whole day about it. I told John, he just wanted to make sure we knew he was with us today. I'm sure this has given you a good laugh.
Love and miss you,

Hi John, I'm in the back eating my lunch right now, so I can visit with you on your page,the weather is not too nice here today, and each day its getting colder, so you know how warm we are in that wonderful house, but I'm used to it, I have'nt touched the thermostat, I left it where you told me to. I left everything the same as if you were there, and I know that I will never change anything, it makes me feel as though your still at home with us,which I know that you are even though we can't see you,we feel your presence.This is your favorite time of the year,I know you would love to see little Johnny and Gianna dressed up for halloween, but I' sure your looking down on them, and you are hugging and kissing them evey minute, I just wish that they could have known you,it's just not fair to them or you, but thats what God had planned, but now you are not just thier grandpa but thier guardian angel too, and I know you of all people will always protect them,as you did and will continue to do for your children and me, we all love and miss you so much,sometimes its just very hard on us to go on, but we have to go on living our lives and you are still a big part of all our lives that will always hold this family together, I will write again soon, love you always and forever, Nancy

There will always be something missing on these special days that you are not around. The hurt seems to magnify on these days, I always think about you, but today i thought about you alot more, I love you and will forever miss you, until i can hug you again.

Hi John,thought I'd spend a little time with you here today,even though I talk to you every day in my heart and mind. It's been a bad few weeks here,we lost a few people ,I'm sure their up there with you. Jennifer's husband passed away, and I know it has not hit her yet,try to comfort her ,you two always hit it off well,she was so good to me when you passed on, I can only do the same for her, and I know that Ted is up there with you, I wish you were here , I had a very hard time with that, you knew I would. All the kids are doing fine, dont see Sal or John much , when I do it brings alot of comfort, they both are so much like you, Have'nt seen Little John or Gianna much either,but thier both getting more handsome and beautiful. You'r favorite time of the year is here, wish you were here with us, but I know you are beside us every minute. John I have to go now still miss you and love you more than anything my life will never be the same, but I know that I will see you one day soon, Love you always and forever Nancy

Dad, its been a year, its gone by so fast, I'll never forget that day when they told me that you'd gone away, I cherish the past that we shared but I will miss the future that we will not have, my hurt is the same, its like an open wound that won't go away, some days the pain is stronger, it makes me sick and weak, I can't stand this much longer, I just wish this was all a bad dream, you were like a rock, strong faithful and true, what is my own life worth now that I don't have you, I was your first born, Daddy's little girl, I took my own path, but was still part of your world, you were my everything, didn't God see that? I love you now as I did back then,and I always will, I just hope one day that I will see you again, I am so proud of you Daddy, so brave and strong til the end, you held everything inside just to protect us as you always did, we all love and miss you so much!!!! I wonder if God understands how much he broke my heart!!! I love you Dad!!!

Daddy I didn't want you to see me cry
the first time I saw fear in your eyes
All my life you've always been so strong
I think everyday of how hard it was for you to never let your fear show thru, so unsure of what life would bring, but you always knew one special thing, when all is lost we were never alone, cause where theres love we had a home
Daddy, your love was always enough, we had arms to hold us when times got tough, you taught me that riches they come and go, but love is forever and I'm not letting go
But I will never forget that July morning, I know you wanted us to be strong, I know that you were scared and all your strength was gone, and I remember how much I wanted to take away your pain, so I could have my Daddy back again
That is when I tried to see the light, that the pain you suffered all through that night, was all the pain you kept from us, you held it so long, it just became too much
I know that God is proud of you, cause you did just what he sent you to do, you left a family that honors and cherish's you and that will never forget how much they were and always will be loved by the most wonderful father that we were so lucky to be blessed with, I love you Daddy so much, and you are loved and remembered every single day of my life!!!

Fathers, Daughters, a timeless bond
Vaster than oceans, tranquil as ponds
My Father is gone
My Dad, will never leave
intricate our relationship,
Our love, our own that we weave
Destroyed by the knowledge
My hero is gone
Knowing kept in my heart
He will always belong
Daddy, I love you
I wish you were here
Always, but always
know in my heart, I keep you so dear
I miss you Daddy
and will love you forever
The strenghth of your love
will always hold us together

Hi John,
Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you alot this week. I can't believe it has been a year already....it feels like it was yesterday. I miss our phone calls and all the crazy stories you used to tell me. I swear I know them by heart!!
We went out to eat today at The Porthole...the food could have been better...but the company was just right. We had alot of fun and Johnny was the star of the show! He sure does light up a room and the faces of the people in it! He is a special little boy and I am thankful everyday that he has you to watch over him. I know you are watching over all of us.
I had a dream about you the other day...it was a good one and I'll do like you asked....I'll take care of your boys for you!
Your forever in my heart,
Hailey xo

Hi John Just to let you know how much you are missed and loved every day, not a day goes by that I do not think of you,every little thing brings back memories of you and the years that we were together. It seems impossible that a year has passed already,it seems like only yesterday that this nightmare happened.John it has not gotten easier and I don't think it ever will.Tuesday will be your day,and I know you will be there with us, I know it will be hard for the kids hug them extra tight that day,they love and miss you so much, but they have all the crazy memories that they will remember forever, thats one thing you gave them to hold on to besides your love that they keep in their hearts, they will always remember that Daddy loved them more than anything. Thank you for everything you taught them about family and life itself,you also taught me alot, and I thank you for all the great years we were together, and I know we will all be together again. Love to you always and forever, Nancy

Hi John working today on my break so I can write to you ,even though I talk to you all the time, you can probably see that i've been a little down lately, it's just so hard,I try not to think about it,I try to keep busy all through the day,but it's at home where I cant get used to, you were always there for me no matter what,you always picked me up when I was down,and always made my fears go away,no matter what I was worried about, you always seemed to say the right thing, but now I'm alone and there is no one to make things right, I am really trying to cope with everything, but its so scary knowing that I am really alone for the rest of my life, It does comfort me to know that I can talk to you and I feel your presence near me. Hope that you are in a good place,with all your family around you,talk to you soon,all my love always and forever, Nancy

Hi daddy,
I miss you as i always tell you each and every day when i talk to you. I just really wish we could all be together one last time. I really miss Mom and Gina and John because we don't see each other as much anymore either.
But i know we are all busy,I try to see Mom as much as i can i really miss her i wish i could see her everyday. You i just wish i could talk and laugh with you one last time and know that you are ok. Not knowing anything kills me the most. But daddy i never took you for granted i knew some day it would come so the memories i have are very good and i will always remember exactly how you were and the love you had for us,and for mom and really anyone that you loved.
You loved like no other and fearless to anything else. I will never forget that, I love you and miss you so very much. Please watch over us as i know that you will. Love you daddy. Gianna is one and Johnny is Two and i promise they will know who you are and were i always talk about you and i always will.

Hey Dad,
went to the new Yankee Stadium today, great game, Yanks won, thought a lot about you today. Wish you were here to see it. When Johnny gets a little older I will take him, they did a real nice job. Still looks like the old stadium , but with a new twist. I love you and will forever miss you.
your Johnny boy.

I will never say goodbye to you Dad, cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other, you only went to a place where there is no pain or suffering, you are with God... you were always there to listen, love and defend me in everything.. you were my very best friend who was always proud of his family... you were my world... deep inside my heart Dad you will always be... I would give up everything I have just to hug you one more time... if only I could turn back the time I would have never let you go... I felt the world stop when they told me your're gone... How I wish it was only a dream... thank you Dad for always understanding, listening, caring and loving me when your were here... one of the greatest gifts that God ever gave me in life was you... its difficult to accept that your not here... but know that I think of you everyday and I miss you so much!!

Dad, there are so many things that go through my head everyday.... I find myself more depressed then ever before... I wish I had you here to talk to.... life has changed so much, its almost a year since you left us, but really it seems like yesterday... people say its gets better through time, but I don't feel it... I know that I have to go on through life and try to live it, but without you in it its so hard... I just can't believe that for the rest of my life I will never see you again... its really not fair... I miss you so much Dad... I never thought that I would be without you! I still needed you!!! You will always be close to my heart Dad!!! I love you so much!

JOHN MANCINI
May 13, 2009
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hi John,Today is Mothers day and I'm working, but the day is going by fast, Wish you were here,I feel bad that I had to work, but the kids understand, It seems like just yesterday they were all little kids,and we were all together, just living our life as a family, now they have their own families, I wish we could go back, we had our problems,but our love as a family kept us strong,and those memories will keep me going for as long as my body will carry me on. I wish you were here today my first mothers day without the father of our beautiful kids, they are my world,thats what keeps me going along with you , love you always and forever Nancy

Hi John,I'm at work today so I have a chance to write on your page, I know that I talk to you all the time, but this makes me feel a little closer to you. The weather is getting really nice all the trees are blooming, I,m opening up all the windows at home even though not all of them have screens you know that,every time I open up the bathroom window I think of you, we laughed after it happened but I can only imagine the pain you went through, but I thank God he took you when he did because I would not want you to suffer any more than you were, and I would not want the kids to see you like that,We both want them to remember you as a strong person that you were,and that you feared nothing, and I know they will always remember you that way.The grand kids are getting big, Little John will be two,and Gianna will be one,I wish you could hug them and give them big kiss,just to see them hug you and call you grandpa,I know that they would love you so much,I am so sorry that they will miss that growing up,but I know that Your Johnny Boy and your Sally will never let them forget you. I'ts gonna be one year that your gone,sometimes it feels forever and sometimes it feels just like yesterday, and it has not gotten one bit easier,I feel so lost, I never imagined it would be like this, but I try to keep busy, but you are always on my mind, not a minute goes by that you are not. John I have to go now open up the store, I will be back,you are forever in my heart, Love you always and forever Nancy

Hi Dad, feeling a little down today, i've been off from work for almost 2 weeks, I'm glad i got to spend a lot of time with Hailey and little Johnny. We all miss you so very much. It helps me alot to sit and write to you, just so many thoughts and memories run through my head everyday, it weighs on you, sometimes i just break down and cry, other times I try to think about all the good times we had, it's very hard, for all of us, we are trying to hang in there, it's been almost a year, but i feel like it just happened, yet i feel like i haven't seen you forever. I wish i could pick the phone up and talk to you like I used to, I hope someday we all can sit down as a family again and just talk, thats all I want is to talk and one last hug. Johnny remembers you and loves you so much. Dad, I love you with all my heart and will forever miss you as long as I live. I will write again soon.
your Johnny boy.

Hey dad,
i don't know if you hear us or see us or read this,but i hope you can do one or the other. As you know if you can hear us i talk to you every day and i kiss your picture everyday and every day i cry because i can't see you smile back at me.
I wanted to write on here Happy Easter because i didn't get a chance to yesterday. I miss you so much Mommy has been cooking and cleaning and pretty much everything and if you can see her i konw you are proud of her. I am,i just wish that there was more i could do to ease the pain for all of us.But we just have to keep you in our hearts and never forgert you as i know we never will.
If you can see us i know you are proud of all of us because everything that we all do in our lives we do it thinking of you. And it keeps us going. I hope we can all be together again someday and never leave each others side. You should be here with us but God needed you for something big because you are so special you are part of his plan. And i know you will always watch over us. I love you dad. Please help the hurt go away for all of us. We miss you.

Hi Dad, I miss you so much! sometimes I feel that this is not real... I hate this life, everything is different... I really don't see it getting any easier to deal with, I don't think it ever will.. I guess in time I'm supposed to learn to accept that your really gone... but I just can't seem to do that right now... it hurts too much to think of you Dad and not being able to see, talk or hug you! I wish everything could go back to the way it was before, but I know that cannot happen... I would have given my own life just to have you here again, just so you didn't have to suffer any pain!! You taught me so much through the years, I have not one regret, except that I couldn't make you better!! I love you more than anything in this whole entire world!! When you died a huge part of me died with you... I was so lucky to have a Dad like you who loved and cared so much about his family... I will always remember that... I will always remember our talks, your laughter, your jokes, your advise, your music, your cooking and most of all your love!!! There will never be another man like you Daddy!!! You were one of a kind!! I love you so much and you will always be close to my heart!!!! love Gina

Hi Dad, I wrote a little poem for you.
You were always there
for Ma, Gina, Sal and I,
doing what you had to,
to help us get by.
You fought very hard,
very brave and strong.
God saw you growing tired.
To ease your pain
he called you home, knowing
you could not go on.
Dad, I want to thank you,
for teaching us the importance
of family. Teaching us about love.
Teaching us about respect too.
The only thing you forgot
to teach us, was how to say
goodbye to you.
I always thought you'd be here,
you left us way to soon.
But I know you are up there
watching over all of us.
You are the brightest star
next to the moon.
To my hero, friend and father, I love you so much and will FOREVER miss you, until we meet again.
your Johnny boy.

Hi John, have'nt written on this page for a while, but you know I talk to you every chance I get,and I know that you can hear me, I just wish that I could hear your voice answering me, even though I know the answer that you would give me. We all miss you so much, nothing is the same and it is so hard to cope with ,John I am really trying ,but its not going that great,I just feel like my whole world ended,and it is so different , and I don't know how to stop the pain ,it hurts so bad, I try to be strong but deep inside I know that my life is over,sometimes I do not even want to go on, but I know I have to, I wish I could just curl up and die,It's like there is nothing for me, I just exist and that is a lousy feeling, I know I can talk to you you always listened to me complain,even when I put on a good front foe people, you knew the real me. Please be with the kids and grand kids, they are all trying so hard, and I know you will help them all through, I will write again, love you always and forever Nancy

Dad - I can't deal with this feeling anymore, I hurt everyday, I can't deal with the reality that your really not here! Its been 6 months, but it seems like yesterday since you've been gone! I miss you so much, more than anyone will ever know! The bond that I had with you can never be replaced, I feel so empty and lost! I will never understand why this happened, I guess I really didn't know how sick you really were, I just wanted to believe that you could make it through anything, like you always have. I prayed and prayed to God every night to make you better, but he didn't listen to me! Didn't he know that we still needed you! There was just so much more that we still had to do as a family, so many more memories to share with your grandchildren! It breaks my heart everyday to know that I will never see that happen! I wish I could talk to you I miss that so much! I just want to know that your o.k., wherever you may be. I love you so much. xo

Hi Dad, just wanted to say hello, I don't know how everyone is doing this, trying to live their life, its so hard to just try to be normal, just knowing the fact that I will never see you again in my entire life breaks my heart! I am definately not the same since you left, I try Dad, but I know that I never will be, I am just not strong enough to accept the fact that your really not here anymore! I wish I could help Mom, I know she is so lost without you, but I can't even help myself to cope, but she knows that I'm there for her, just like you were there for us. I wish I could turn back time, just to have you back, even for one day, but that one day would never be enough, I would want it to be forever!!! I am so sad Dad, please help me, I don't know what to do, I always had you to depend on! How does someone just go on when the one thing in life that held a family together through good and bad is taken away so fast? I don't understand why it happend in the first place, it shouldn't have!! I love and miss you more than life! I'll be back real soon Dad.

Dad, Just wanted to say hi. It was a horrible year, '09 has begun. Little johnny is getting closer to the big 2, i wish you could see him. It's a new year but a part of me is gone, it went with you.
I have tried so hard to be strong, since the day you left, trying to hold my own, trying to be as strong as you, it's just so damn hard, the more as time goes by the more I hurt, I don't tell anyone, because i'm trying so hard to keep it together for the family.
I don't know how you did it, losing uncle danny and Grandma and Grandpa and aunt Carol, but still held it together, still took care`of your family, you always did what you had to do, as a man, husband, and a father.
Thats why i admire and love you so much, and why you will always be my hero, again, I'm trying to get by, I know your strength will help me, along with our family.
will write again soon, until we meet again dad, I love you and will forever miss you.
your Johnny boy.

Happy New Year John, working today and its very cold out there, I hope its nice and warm wherever you are. Well the new year is here hopefully it will be a better year than 2008, I wish you were here with us, there is still so much that we still had to do together,like live to a ripe old age, but thats all right as long as I know that I can still talk to you , and that you are in my heart forever with all the memories I will get by. I just hope that the kids will have a better year, I know they will as long as they keep you in thier hearts and hold on to the memories you gave them that will help them through the many years ahead of them with thier own families,they will have good fortune to watch thier children grow, and have families of thier own, And I promise we will keep the memory of you alive to little John and Gianna, they will always know that thier grand pa loved them more than they could ever imagine, I wish you were here to hold and kiss them, but I think they feel you all around them , I know that I feel your presence with me all the time, I'll be back, Happy new year love you always and forever Nancy
