Not sure what to say?

my wonderful son Vinnie - another birthday another year without you. It's hard to believe the world has gone on without you. Our family is growing-but there is always an empty spot where you should be. I miss you so very much-you are always in my heart. Love, mom

Happy birthday Vinnie....fifteen years without you feels unreal. I was just a teenager when you left, and you were my big cousin. Now I'm older than you were and it makes me so sad that I didn't get the chance to grow old with you. I wish I could know the person you would have grown into...I wish you could know the person I've grown into...I wish you could meet the new family members that have come into our lives. I miss you so much, and I love you always...

Just reminiscing, looking through old photos of you. Cheers to you on your day Vinnie. Always loved.

Happy birthday Vinnie. Another one without you-another sad day. I miss you more than words can say. I wonder how your life would be now-would you be married-would you be a dad? We will never know-you will be forever 27 and forever loved and missed. Love you always Mom

Happy Birthday Vinnie! The years go by so fast...it's hard to believe so much time has past. You have so many people there with you now..it's comforting to think of you all together. My dad will no doubt be having a birthday beer with you today. I love you so much and I'll miss you always...

Happy Birthday Vinnie! Loving and Missing you today as I do every day. It makes me so sad when I think of all the experiences we've been robbed of sharing as a family--but it also makes me hold on even tighter to all the beautiful memories we have. I cherish those and will hold them with me for the rest of my life. The only thought that really brings me comfort is that you're somewhere beautiful right now, laughing with my Mom and drinking a giant beer with my Dad.

You’re never more than a thought away; thats how we hold you close.

Another birthday-another year without you. I know you are missed by so many-family and friends. As your mom, my heart is still broken and it will always be broken. Today I will laugh and I will cry and I will always love you. You are never far from my thoughts-loved always Mom

Happy Birthday Vinnie! Looking through old pictures makes you realize how quickly time goes by. This picture reminds us of the beautiful childhood we all spend together. Those are memories that we will cherish forever. Thinking of you today and always--and wishing that we could all be together again
