I miss you very much my nephew. My heart still has a huge hole in it that keeps growing since your grandfather passed away. Love you and we'll all be together someday.

Always on my mind Nick - I share stories about you to my kids.
Your mother and grandparents are amazing people. I hope you get to see your grandpa - he shouldn't be too far from where you are.

Your favorite relative

It does not feel like 16 years. Maybe longer.
Praying for everyone, everyday. The world is crumbling and you're not going to suffer from it. Love you always

Hi Nick--the Lord paints his beauty and the thoughts within you, painted yours.

Dear Nick-it's nine years. When I look at the sky on a good day, these are my thoughts.
Withthe brush the Lord holds in his hand,
He paints the sky above these lands.
This beauty comes from Him alone.
Just like the moon and stars that roam.
He's always there both day and night.
He sees all the wrong and all that's right.


Love you always,

I think this is good news. Lately when Nick comes to mind-it isn't the last pictures of him-because Ive always felt that isn't the real him. Lately I see him younger, a little taller, beautiful thick, wavy hair, like it was and a big happy smile. I love it-I wish I could have that picture. Maybe our prayers have been answered and he is happy now. It took a lot of prayers and a long time but now I feel better. That's what I believe.

May 15, 2014

This is a belated happy birthday as far as this book is concerned. You did hear me sing happy birthday to you on your birthday. I remember the birthday you had a he-man cake. Got the sword. You were so happy. I think you were 4. I honestly still cant believe not not here. I dont really think I'll ever really allow that to sink in to my head. If its real I might go crazy. Its been so many years, but to me it was last week. Yeah just cant face reality. Please watch over us and help us. Just answer one no two questions. Are you happy? And are all our loved ones with you? I'll be looking for an answer. I know it will come. Love you more

I just wanted to say that we all miss you very much. I had my birthday yesterday but all I can think about is you because yours is today. I will go through the rest of my life never fully understanding what happened. All I know is that we all got our hearts crushed. I can't even bring myself to read all these messages hear because it's overpoweringly painful. Miss and love you forever.

Dear Nick,


sleep well, and rest-day and night.

Some day, we'll all be together and make it right.

We're going to have a mass for you,
with tom and Joe and Barry too.

Remember when you were young and so sick
and all the kids on the bus yelled out "Hi Nick"?

After all the months that you were ill,
Your friends helped you squash bottles of pills.

That was so far away-in the past.

we were delighted when it was over at last.

Now sleep and rest, we'll pray
for you still.

We Love you Nick and always will.

Dear Nick,

The years have gone by,it's way over four.

I tell myself-stop, don't write any more.

It's still there in that place in my heart.
Sometimes it feels like it's been torn apart.

I realize now-it doesn't matter if it's three five or ten.
I only know we'll never be the same again.

We have to stop waiting for WHEN.

It has taken five years to get this out.

There are those that knew a part of what this was about.

There goes another year and May 31st

You would be thirty-two,
I hope you feel our Love for you.

This year it's on Mother's Day
and of course, we continue to pray.

Every day you're in our prayers
and yes, our words still come with tears.

I know some day we"ll be together again.
We just don't know now-where or when.

Dear Nick,


We wander through these days of lent

They lead us to Easter, our big event.

I say the stations every day,

but the 13th is familiar in many ways.

They crucified HIM at thirty three.

In May, it's the age that you will be.

I should use past tense but it's

hard to do,

because, in my dreams, I still see you.

Dear Nick,


Its Christmas again-where did four
years go?

Sometimes it seems fast,
Sometimes it seems long ago.

I was with you today.
Did you see me there?

I decarated the trees for you.
Maybe it's weird, but I
wanted to.

I wanted to say Merry Christmas to you,
but it's still so hard for us to do.


Love Grammy

October 9, 2011

Dear Nick,


On October 16th it will be four years.

You wouldn't believe we still cry big tears.

Do you look down at what you had?

Some times were so good.

some days were bad.

I try to keep it deep inside,

but feelings are hard to hide.

I hope and pray that-maybe some day,

words like these you:ll want to say:

I love you in a place that has
no space or time.

I love you for my life-
You were a friend of mine.



Love Grammy

Dear Nick,

Some day you will have to make amends

to Barry, Tom and all your friends.

You didn't say goodbye to them,

they're left with hurt inside of them.

I try to tell the ones that stay,

Be happy and enjoy each day.

Especially when you're thirty-one.

Relax, dream your dreams, and

have some fun.


Love Grammy

Ann Sillari

May 23, 2011

dear Nick,

This May you would have been thirty-one.

Do you remember when everything was fun?

And then at eight, pain and sorrow came.

We suffered with you through all the pain.

It was so hard those first few years.

We all had shed too many tears.

We prayed-some day the pain would end,and there will be a new tomorrow.

But those years had taken too much from you,

and what was left was pain and sorrow.


Love Grammy

May 13, 2011

Nick,

Your 31st birthday… how did that happen? Time is moving faster and faster these days. The years continue to come and go but these life changes that coincide are far more challenging than expected. It's hard. You know that. I guess it's best to try to take a step back, accept it for what it is now....and not for what it could/would/should have been...I don't know...
Just wanted to "stop by" and remind you that your birthday will never be forgotten.
Happy Birthday. Rest easy, kid.

Dear Nick,

You had to travel oh so far
for peace you had to find.
Some day we too, will travel
there and leave the rest behind.

Do Angels fly around the sky
and look at us below?
Or are they here with us right
now and guide us as we go?

We pray for you, we pray to you--
we know it's not too late.
Maybe you know the answers now,
or maybe you have to wait.


Love Grammy

Dear Nick,
Years ago when you climbed that hill,
You did it well, with so much skill,
No one knew in such short time,
The mountain you would have to climb.
Some people seem to glide through life,
Often lives are filled with strife,
You had great friends, there were only one or two,
In the end it doesn't matter how you died.
It only matters how much you tried.

Love, Grammy

Hi Nick,

It's hard to imagine three years have come and gone. I think you are missed more now...if that's even possible. Hopefully, you were there and watching over everyone on my wedding day. Your mom and grandparents were so happy yet sad to hear your name mentioned during the ceremony. You will never be forgotten...no matter how many years pass us by, Nick. I hope you are in peace and I love you!

Your Cousin,

Dear Nick

The words I write came from the start.

I'm not a poet, they're from my heart.

I should be sleeping in my bed.

But thoughts keeprunning through my head.

When you took that trip three years ago,

It broke our hearts, we miss you so.

But when I dream and--there you are,

suddenly, it seems, you're not that far.

The place you dwell in since that day,

We'll see you there somewhere, some how

some way.

IT'S OKAY NOW-IT'S SUMMERTIME.
IT'S HARDER WHEN THE SUN DON'T SHINE.
ALL YOUR FRIENDS THAT WROTE BACK THEN,
I WISH THAT THEY WOULD WRITE AGAIN.
THEY MUST MOVE ON, I WANT THEM TO.
THE MONTHS GO BY, THE YEARS DO TOO.
THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE THOSE THOUGHTS OF YOU.
THEY'LL ALWAYS BE-THERE'S NOTHING MORE THAT WE CAN DO.
SOMETIMES-ONCE IN AWHILE ,
I HEAR A SONG THAT MAKES ME SMILE.
I WISH IT COULD ALWAYS BE THAT WAY,
BUT I KNOW-LIFE HAS CHANGED AND
WILL STAY THIS WAY.
WE ALL WILL TRY TO DO OUR BEST,
BUT GOD WILL HAVE TO DO THE REST.

February 16, 2010

Dear Nick,--2 years, 4 months

it took so long to let things go.
I thought I never would.
But time goes by, and then you know-
these clothes can do some good.
The thing I felt would have to stay,
Were sneakers on the floor.
It was so hard to see them there just
standing near the door.
Although it hurt to look at them, I
felt they had to stay.
What's wrong with me-I use to think-
You know they're only shoes.
And then one day-that earthquake came,
I heard it on the news.
Your Mom came by and said to me -you
know I need them now.
I know I have to let them go, I guess
I don't know how.
These shoes are going far away on feet
where they belong.
It's time for me to let them go and time to show I'm strong.
I'm happy now those shoes are on someone who is in need.
I think that you'ld be happy too, to
know of this good deed.

Dear Nick,
The year is coming to an end.
Ive sent a card to all your friends.
Your good friends that cared for you,
Now they are our good friends too.
The people that we see each day,
I think they feel that we're okay.
How could they know-that in our hearts
the tears don't stop, those tears still flow.
We never know what's around the bend.
We'll never know until the end.

It was mid October, the middle of fall.
You left us then and you're missed by all.
I can't believe two years have gone.
Where did time go-but life goes on.
When you were born, we were so glad.
We tried to give you all we had,
and as you grew, your art did too.
your talent was a gift to you.
Like many artists gone before,
you didn't know how great you were.

When I visit you like I did today,
When I stand there and solemly pray,
I always wonder what would would say--
If you were here with us today,
Your friends moved on like we all do,
Would you have done the same thing too?
Though I am here my thoughts are there,
The weeks go by, the matters do too,
I see your white short sleeves and jeans of blue,
But we can't ever erase the memory of you.
Love, Grammy

To get me closer to you
One more chain does the maker make
To keep me from bustin' through

One more notch I scratch
To keep me thinkin' of you
One more notch does the maker make
Upon my face so blue

Get along, little doggies
Get along, little doggies

One more smile I fake
And try my best to be glad
One more smile does the maker make
Because he knows I'm sad

Oh Lord, how I know
Oh Lord, how I see
That only can the maker make
A happy man of me

Get along little doggies
Get along little doggies
Get along

March 2, 2009

Dear Nick,
One day last week,
I glanced at the sky,
The clouds were dark and kept drifting by,
All this time- I've never asked- but in my heart I had to try.
Suddenly my thoughts were all of you,
and in a while the sky turned blue,
Since that happened on that day,
I think it's time you hear me pray,
The tears I've shed for sixteen months,
could fill a vase or two,
but now the tears have slowed some what,
and I can pray to you,
I hope you hear these prayers I pray,
for you and all I know,
then God above,
with all his love- will take good care of you,
Love Grammy

February 1, 2009

My words though simple
are always true.
It's hard to bear the
loss of you,
Friends say time will
help console,
I'm not so sure-it helps
at all, your time
with us was oh so brief,
But it's still hard
to control the grief,
Like the Lord upon
his cross,
My heart still bleeds
from the tragic loss.
Love Grammy.

January 15, 2009

Nick,

It is the year 2009!!! Looking back ten, twenty years ago and thinking about life’s changes; it’s just crazy how fast the years pass. At the same time, the actual days seem to go by slower now than way back then. I don’t know. You are constantly in my thoughts - all day, everyday. That is one thing I know will never change.....no matter how many years pass. Oh and by the way, when I went to visit you two weeks ago, I know you were looking down and laughing at/with me. Driving and walking though the snowy cemetery for over an hour must have been amusing to watch. Aside from my frozen feet, people staring, and never finding you, the remainder of that day was great. Again, I think I can thank you for that too. I love you.

Forever and a day…..

December 2, 2008

hey nick

you'll be proud of the new metallica album that came out this year
they returned to their raw sound - it is perfectly composed! and jet li made a new movie called forbidden kingdom which i'm sure you would have loved!
the dark knight was another great movie that i'm sure you would have loved!

December 1, 2008

Hi Nick,

Just checking in…the holidays are here again and well, I don’t know what to write really. You know what’s going on down here. Please look out for everyone. We all miss and love you. Forever and a day....

October 17, 2008

Nick -
It's been one year a day and I still find it difficult to believe you are gone. I have so many questions and I play our conversations from that week over and over in my head and still find no answers.

Last night a bunch of us got together and went to dinner with your family - Outback (Where else?)

The laughter and stories were great but still doesn't make it easier. BARRY got married this year and you weren't there - I have to admit it just didn't seem right or complete without you there.

Well time has gone by - and you are still on everyone's mind and in our constant daily thoughts.

Where ever you are, whatever it is that you're doing I hope that it's your peace.

My heart goes out to the Sillari family on this one year anniversary of Nick’s passing. Nick I miss you buddy and you are always in my thoughts.

October 16, 2008

Since the day you passed, it seemed that there was only bad news and negativity surrounding almost every aspect of my life. It came to a point where there was no hope left in me for anyone or anything including myself. "Everything happens for a reason" became a ridiculous cliché with no value or true meaning.

Well it has been one long year, Nick, and I will NEVER understand how or why you’re gone from our lives. Not a moment of the day goes by that you’re not in my thoughts but I know you know this. You know everything that I say and do everyday. I want to thank you for listening and answering all of my prayers. You truly are my guardian Angel. When I think about the timing and all of the events leading up to today, it only makes complete sense that you have guided me through it all. You’ve showed me the reasons for everything. My life is completely different today and better than I could have ever imagined.

With all that being said, I know that you’re okay and finally at peace. Every time I hear that song, I know you’re by my side. Thank you, Nick. Forever and a day….I love you.

September 26, 2008

Dear Nick,
Now that it's close to a year,
Your dear friends and family will always care,
You're someone we will never forget,
We miss your art,
We miss all that, and yet,
We want you to have found true peace,
If you found that peace,
then all our tears-
and all our fears-
and all our prayers,
are worth the grief.

I remember you nicky when you used to let me come up into your room. You used to let me play with all of your games. Then one day it all changed. You did not talk to me anymore. But, whenever you went down those stairs to leave the house I was there to give you a hug. I wish I never stopped doing that. Maybe it would have made a difference, I dont know. But, I do know that I still love you and will never forget you.
Love Daniel

Hey Nick,

I just wanted to say hello. Please watch over the family. I love you.

Dear Nick,
I began searching months ago,
For what--I wasn't sure,
I searched in the light
and in the night,
I searched in my mind,
But I couldn't find
what I was looking for.
I searched among the
clouds each day
When I was home or was away.
Sometimes I see the angels play,
Sometimes I see the Saint's pray,
The love was so deep in my heart,
But the hurt is deeper since we're apart.
The day I see Him hold you near,
Then I will know there's no more fear.
Love Grammy

Hi Nicky,

I hope you're resting peacefully. I still cannot believe that you're gone from our lives. You are always and forever in my heart, mind, and prayers.

Your cousin,
Lindsay

Barry and I were at Oakgrove yesterday - no matter what I still can't believe it - this weekend we should have been taking you out to celebrate your birthday not trying to understand.

Happy Birthday Brotha - you have no clue how much you're missed.

Happy birthday, Nick!

May 11, 2008

Dear Nick,
This week you would be twenty eight,
Of course, it didn't happen.
The months went by,
The years flew by,
And so did all the laughter.
Now we are here,
And you are there.
Some day we'll be together.
Until that day,
What will it take.
When tears don't flow,
And hearts won't break,
How long will it take?
Till our hearts don't break.

Love Grammy

Hi Nick, Your 28th birthday is next week and lately you've been on my mind more than ever. I look at your picture everyday. It literally seems like only yesterday that we were little kids hanging out at our family parties...just you and I would go off and play by ourselves. I cannot believe that was 20 plus years ago. Time flies! I wish we could've remained close as we grew older. I'm sorry I didn't reach out to you. Most of all, I'm sorry for the pain you were feeling. I had no idea.

Marie, Uncle Danny, & Auntie Ann - I hope you're doing okay. I wish I knew what to say but words seem so empty. You're all in my prayers.

I love you!

I miss hanging out with you everyday buddy. I think about you and your wonderful family all the time. I hope you found the peace you were looking for my friend.

I'm so sorry to hear about Nick's passing. I went to the Gleason School and Brooks Hobbs with him but lost touch with him over the years. He always seemed like a special and unique soul. My thoughts and prayers are with Nick and the Sillari family.
