You would be 35 years old today Adriano, what would you be doing?? Think of that all the time, I wish you were here, miss you so very much. Reminiscing on those special times.

Love you so very much.

I know he is up in heaven looking down on us.
He is our little angel.

Missing you every day. I hope you know how grateful we are for the love you gave us that endures to this day. As we continue to age and hit milestones in life, it is hard not to be able to have you be a part of them. But I know you are always with us in spirit and we can only continue to do our best to seize the day and make you proud. Carpe Diem.

Yesterday, I saw the number 19 and it made me smile. Today, I light a candle for your birthday. Love you today and always xoxo

Adriano, my cousin, brother, best friend and most of all soul mate.
You mean the world to me and always have, our relationship was like no other. You are perfection in every sense of the world and I would do anything to have you here with me. Some days are easier than others but there is not a day that goes by that you are not on my mind. We are blood and we are brothers, everything I do in life I will dedicate to you. Together we are a powerful team and I thank you for helping me out with everything I am trying to accomplish, I know you are with me every step of the way. I thank you for giving me strength to do what I'm doing, you are my partner and will be with me forever. You have helped me get Mess Royale off the ground and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I love you so much and I am looking forward to being reunited with you again. You mean everything to me and you always will.

Dear Adriano,
30 years ago you were born, from the moment the doctor announced you were a boy at the delivery," since they all thought I was having another girl, by the beat of your
heart", we were thrilled.
You gave us 23 years, of joy, love and pride, I wish you were here to celebrate your 30th birthday. I wonder everyday what you would of been up to. All I know is that whatever your doing up there, you're the best, and I hope it's a better place.
I am so proud of having you as my son, I love you and miss you so much, happy 30th birthday Adriano.
Love you, mama.

Adriano,
6 years ago today, yet you are still here in my heart. It gets tougher each year, but knowing that you are here with me makes me so grateful. I wish you could see me playing volleyball repping your number. I wish you could meet Eric, who honestly looks just like you inside and out. Thank you for being my guardian angel. I love you, forever and always,
xoxo

Until we meet again, may you rest in peace my son.
Love U with all our hearts,

I've been going through some difficult times right now with school and family. I am not asking you to miraculously change the situation, but I was wondering if you could some how lighten the weight I've been carrying around for a couple moths now. I'm really struggling and I need your help. please.

To Adriano,

You are an inspiration to others - through your example, I want to be a nicer, and better person.

Thanks to you, I tried to have better relationships with people, because I was able to see that being nice is the better way to go, and that life is short, and we should try to enjoy every minute.

September 16, 2011

While my sister and I were visiting my mom at the Cemetary, we saw Adriano not far. I can't express how bad I felt for him. Being Italian, and having 2 sons of my own, it really hit home. He has such an angelic look about him, almost calming.
It's really changed the way I see my life. I sometimes feel guilty for being alive when there are so many nice people that are no longer in the world.
I sometimes get up in the morning and feel tired about knowing what a long day it is going to be, and complain. But then I think about people like him that don't get to have anymore days.
That is why I try to live a better life through him. I think it's the only way I know how to honour him, and thank him for making me want to live life to the fullest every day.

My thoughts are with you today on Adriano's birthday. I send you much love and blessings for this day and always. I hope to see you this year as Alex will be going to Concordia university in Montreal. I look forward to that day when I can at last give you a hug and lay flowers on Adriano's resting place. Much love, Lindsey

May 12, 2011

You're 26 today, Adriano, it's your 3rd birthday without you being here with us.
I pray that up there in heaven you are continuing living your dreams. The dreams that I often wished would be shared with us.
I pray that you are safe and happy "as they say you are."
Today I wish I can give you a big kiss and hug.
I pray that one day we will be together again.
Until then, "Happy Birthday" my dear son, this is my birthday wish to you. Love you forever, mama.

I truly miss you, that last time I saw you was when we came for vacation and we should have come more often. i think of you as my guardian angel and will keep you there. I had no idea what it was like to know how it felt to lose somebody but when you left it hit me. The number on the back of your football jersey, 19, has become pretty lucky for me, I have to have it as a number for all my sports and anything in general. I miss you so much and think about you all the time.
I love you with all my heart.

Hey Adj,
I can't believe its already been 3 months you have left us. Everyday is harder and harder for everyone who loved you so much especially your family. I hope your looking down on us and protecting those who need it most. I still cant wrap my head around the fact that i wont be able to see you or hear you anymore. I hope you can see this somehow and see what kind of impression you have made on my life and that hole will never be filled or heal as long as i live. I miss you terribly and wish i could spend just one more day with you to really take advantage of our friendship. I will never forget you and i will do what i can to comfort and be their for your family whenever they need it. I hope to see you again one day, until then i hope i make you proud and that you can live your life through mine.

I love you Adj

We will never forget you

Dear Sabina, Vince and Liana,
I just read your birthday entry for Adriano and burst into tears. You are still so much in my thoughts. I wish I could get on a plane and come and see you and hug you. Then again, I want to respect your space and time in grieving. Know that my heart goes out to you. You are such special people. Writing this is a small way I can tell you how much I am feeling for you. I know we will meet again and I hope when that day comes you will have found some peace. God bless you all.

My wife & I extend our condolences to you and your family on the tragic loss of your son. We were in Florida when we heard then news and, like everyone else, we were shocked. It is impossible to console someone who has suffered such an incomprehensible loss. I hope that you can take some comfort from the fact that so many of your friends and acquaintances are thinking of you and are expressing their sympathies to you and your family.

Vince, Sabina, Liana e famiglia,

Words are too small to describe how I feel for you in the loss of Adriano.

In my memory, all I have is that shy little boy with eyes as big as full moons and the eyelashes to match and a smile that could melt the hardest hearts and no doubt, I am certain he grew up to be an incredible young man.

He will forever be in my heart, in time, I hope the beauty of his life will provide you with the comfort you will need to face each new day.

May God wrap his arms around you all and hold you tight in his arms and his love.

Dear Sabina, Vince and Liana
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to your family.

We have had the pleasure of having known the Tassone family for many years and treasure our friendship and admire their supporting and loving family.

We have had the privilege to have known your beautiful son Adriano during the years our children attended Notre Dame de Sion together. He will always be remembered for that great smile and kind spirit. It was obvious that he was gifted for sports even at an early age, our daughter Olivia remembering him as always being as one of the first ones picked in team sports. She will always remember him being a great childhood friend.

You are forever in our thoughts and prayers and may God give you the strength and courage through this very difficult time.

My heart aches for you and your family over the loss of your beloved Adriano. I know that he must have been an outstanding human being because he came from such a wonderful, loving family. From the pictures that I have seen and the testimonials that I have read, it is evident that Adriano was an extraordinarily beautiful person inside and out and that his legacy will live forever in the hearts of so many. I pray that God gives you the strength to bear this incredible sorrow and comforts you all with the knowledge that Adriano is in His loving care and that you will one day be reunited. My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with the entire Tassone family.

Soon after he found out that I was Greek and had grown up in the restaurant business, Adriano would tease me after every practice calling me "pavlo mou", as any Greek grandmother would, and with a perfect accent. Your smile and refreshing honesty will be missed.

Tassone Family,
May Gd give you the strength to overcome the pain of losing someone so dear and may He bring you peace in knowing Adriano touched so many lives in such a short time. Those days when my daughter was in Adriano's class may be long gone, but his memory will forever live on in our family.

I met Adriano on our first day of rookie camp.
Worried about what sort of entertainment that we, the rookies, would be performing for the veterans at team-dinner, Adriano and I sat near the back so as to avoid being selected. As luck would have it, we were the first ones picked to indulge the seniors with a skit. I was so nervous and Adriano could tell so he told me that it will be over in about 5 minutes and that we would not have to do anything else for duration of the camp. He stood up, smiled, and I followed. The skit worked out well and I will always remember how Adriano took lead and made my nerves disappear.

You will be missed my brother and never forgotten.

SEMPER FIDELIS

Dear Vince, Sabena and Liana,

Words cannot describe the deep sorrow and pain we all share with you.

I am truly fortunate to say that I did have the chance to know Adriano, although our paths crossed briefly, and watch him progress from a sweet child to a wonderfull young man. I know that his kindness as a human being and his love for his family was boundless. Heaven has gained an amazing and unique angel, and know that his spirit lives on in all of you, and now watches over you. Know that you have the support of so many people who loved Adriano and love you . Our thoughts and prayers are with you all now.

With Peace, Compassion and Love,

Harvey Schneiderman and Family

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."
Please accept my deepest sympathie.

We passed a short time together but we grew to know him as a fine young man and that is how we will remember Adriano. His team mates and coaches were made better for knowing him.
The alumni and friends of John Abbott Football extend to you our deepest sympathies .

'Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in thankfulness that he was'

It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It is not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled. But it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal,
But it is a disaster to no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars. But it is a disgrace not to have stars to reach for.
Not failure, but low aim is a sin.

Adriano lived life to the fullest and we're all richer and blessed to have had him in our lives!

May God bless you in your time of grief!

Love Gina and family!

Dear Vince and Sabina,

Ted Bird was kind enough to let me know about your terrible loss. This is a difficult letter to write, knowing that not a single syllable of it can assuage your grief. But you can take comfort and even pride in the sheer numbers of people who were moved to pay their respects to Adriano at his memorial over the weekend. He must have been someone quite special.

Judy and I are deeply and sincerely sorry for the pain that you're feeling, and want you to know that you're in our thoughts and prayers.

It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years. I haven't forgotten your generosity and the constant kind help and advice that you gave me during my years in Montreal. We so wish that this hadn't befallen you.
