I just wanted to say hi, for someone who can talk a lot I just can't seem to write down my feelings, but I think you know that I miss you and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Tell everyone that I said hello. I know that your watching over all of us,

Today is a very special day in Heaven and on Earth.

Happy Easter

With love

Hi brother, it may seem strange to some that I want to wish you a happy birthday, but I believe in my heart that you are always with us , so wishing
you a happy birthday just seems so natural to do, so happy birthday!!!!

I really don't like to talk about you because when I do I cry, time has not made the pain of you not being here go away, I really don't think it ever will. there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you and miss you.

Love Elaine

I know you're not going to read this, some may think it's silly that we "write" the departed but if it makes us feel better than all the better. Today is Father's Day. I miss you more and more each day. Today is another first without you here. Happy Father's Day. I know that even though we lost you too soon that you gave us a better life in those years than those that had their Father's for far longer. Please look down on all of us, especially Mommy. Give Tommy a hug from us.

Hello Dad. Today is Christmas, but you already know that don't you? I keep trying to tell myself that you are in a better place and that even though our family chain has been broken beyond repair that someday it will once again be mended. The weather is horrible, it is raining. The earth doesn't seem so festive today. It looks dark, sad and lonely. Like my heart. I miss you more than I ever thought possible.

Janeen (and Family) - I was sorry to hear about the passing of your father. My thoughts are with you and your family. My heart hurts each and every day too, as my father just passed away last month. I will say an extra prayer for you and your family during this time.

Since your not here nothing is the same, I know as time goes by it will get easier, but for now it seems to be getting harder to handle not easier. I keep telling myself that your in a better place, but that doesn't seem to help. I want to know why you had to leave, I just don't understand, I know it's not right for me to question why GOD wanted you home so soon but, I do.

I know that your helping all of us to get by one day at a time.

I MISS YOU VERY MUCH!!

LOVE WITH LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES

Daddy,

Its been almost 2 weeks since that dreaded 4:46 a.m. phone call, “Janeen, Daddy died” from mommy (on her birthday) What can I say? I turned 36 the day after we buried you dad. I owe all my 36 years and future years to you. My dad, my only true love. The only man a girl could depend on, her daddy.. Little did you know, you were the high standard by which every boyfriend had to measure up to.. and with u dad, that was hard. U were such a good person inside and out. I wish I could have u to walk me down the aisle, to dance with me at my wedding. U made this life better.. U were cheated.. Mommy was cheated. The world was cheated. This world needs good people, so Y aren’t you here?

You and mommy were best friends..and now her best friend is gone. My girlfriends ask me everyday “How can you lose your father?” How do you function? Its hard dad, but we do it for mommy me and Lisa and Phillip. U asked me to take care of mommy, we all will. When we were sitting outside on Memorial Day, you told me you were worried to move down the shore with mommy in case something happened to u..I told u that as long as me, phillip and lisa are around, there is no worries.

Hi Brother, it's late and I can't sleep as usual, so I thought I would come and share some of my thoughts with you.

When I wake up in the morning I feel like I'm waking up from a really bad dream but, then I realize this is no dream it's really true, your not here anymore. I know one day I will stop crying, but I will never stop missing you. How do you stop missing someone you love? You don't.

I don't know if you realized how much you were loved by so many people. I know you know now because your looking down and seeing everything.

When we were growing up you were my

Father and Big Brother all wrapped up in one, and for that I thank you.

I don't think you knew how much I appreciated everything that you have done for me, thank you.

I will treasure the time and conversations we had, I still can't watch the Food Channel without thinking of you, but someday I will and I will smile when I think of you.

Say hello to Mom and Dad and Mary Mom and Dad Nat and when you see Bobby tell him I said hello, he really loved you but, then again my friends all loved you, I wonder if you realized that. I know Mom and Dad escorted you on your journey to heaven, I can only hope the three of you when it's my time will come and escort me on my journey.

Well Phil I think I will try again to get some sleep, sleep doesn't come easy to me these days.

I am so proud to have had a Brother like you, Warm, Kind Loving and Giving.

With Lots Of Love, Hugs and Kisses.

Elaine.

Hi Brother.

I couldn't sleep so I thought I would come and write a little something to you. I'm not good at writing my feelings.

When I wake up in the morning I think I've had a bad dream and then I realize it's no dream it's true and your not here, it's just not real. I know someday I'll stop crying, but I'll never stop missing you, how do you stop missing someone you love? You don't.

Phil, growing up you were like my Father and Big Brother all wrapped up in one. I don't know if you knew how much I appreciated everything you did for me. Thank you!!!

I was going to say that nothing has changed but, that's not true, everythings changed since your not here and nothing will ever be the same again without you.

Say hello to Mom and Dad and Mom Mary and Dad Nat, and when you see Bobby tell him I said hello, Bobby loved you, but then again all of my friends just loved you they thought you were great,and you were.

I know Mom and Dad came to take you on your journey to heaven and that makes me feel good to know that you were not alone. I know one day I'll see you again. I hope you will come to take me on my journey.

Well it's getting really late and I should really try to get some sleep, which doesn't come that easy to me these days.

I miss you very much!!!!

Love

With lots of Hugs and Kisses!!

Uncle Phil,

I can't believe you're gone. I didn't tell you the last night that I saw you that I loved you. I never thought that it would be the last night that I would ever see you.

I was hoping to be with you over the holidays just one more time and laugh and talk about work.

It will never be the same going to the office and not seeing you in one of your great suits.

I believe there's a part of you that lives in everyone of us. You will always be in out hearts.

I will never forget all the great memories I have of the shore, the holidays and getting the opportunity to work with you and you helping me out whenever you can. You were always willing to help me no matter what. I never got to tell you how much I appreciated all that you have done for me so thank you for all your help.

Tell grandmom Rose and Mary and Grandpop that I miss them just like I miss you.

I love you, Uncle Phil.

When you look at the people he has left behind, you realize the greatness of the man. Phillip has passed down wonderful values and sense of family that will live on forever in his memory.

To My Dearest Kindest Brother.

It still doesn't seem real that your

not here. Words cannot express the

hole I have in my heart. I know that

Mommy and Daddy came to take you on

your journey and you are with them

in Heaven. I am so proud to have

had sunch a wonderful brother like

you, my only regret is that I didn't

tell you enough how much I really

loved you. I'm getting dressed to

go to your funeral when all I want

is to go to your house to see you.

Love with lots of hugs and kisses

Uncle Phil, I just wanted to say how much I will miss you and how much you meant to me in my life.

You and Aunt Maryanne were always there for my sister and I when we were growing up. You were like a second pair of parents. You took us places and always made us feel comfortable and at home no matter what the situation. I will forever cherish the time you spent with me. You and my dad took me to my first baseball game at Connie Mack!I remember the talks we had coming home from the shore when it was just the 2 of us. You never talked down to me... you always made me feel important.

If there is a bright side to this, at least my dad has his buddy with him now. Say hello to everyone for us and tell them how much we miss them and love them.

Lisa, I know how you, Janeen, and Philip feel. I love you guys and feel your pain. You will get through this! I know you will take care of your mom. She is in good hands.

Aunt Maryanne, you know how I feel about you. I love you with all of my heart. Uncle Phil had a great partner in this life and he was a lucky man. You will be with him again some day, but we want that to be a very long time from now! We need you and love you!

Uncle Phil, I will remember what you told me about family and I will do my part to try and keep us all together.

Your nephew,

Jimbo

Yo, Dad. You know I can do just about anything, except give like you gave for the pure joy of giving. It became more obvious over the years that you just wanted everyone else to be happy, and to know that everything was okay with everyone.

Everyone will take their good-natured ribbings at you about how you loved your lawn, or how you wanted the birds to be fed; but what defines those concerns about lawns and birds is remembering the look on your face when your kids or grandchildren were enjoying the lawn or getting excited over the birds.

First and foremost, you worried about Mom, and I hope that you passed knowing she'd be cared for.

I just want you to know that I was always able to sleep at night when I knew you and mom were okay. I haven't slept well in a long time.

Well, don't get nervous, because we're okay -- Thanks to you.

Love,

Phillip

It was 20+ years ago that I meet this man. Not any man, but to me the best man I've ever meet. He had a beautiful dauther that would lead to his path, never really knowing that he would mean so much to me. You let me into your home and treated me like a son. Never judging me for the things that I might have done. You inspired me with your wisdom, We laughted and had fun. I would get excited, when I knew we would get together for dinners,holidays,or weekends at the beach. I always dreaded the day, when it would all come to an end. My world would change, and I'd miss my friend. You left a mark in this world that would forever stay. In our hearts always, til our dying day.

I'll miss you DAD, and the fun we had. But now it's Gods turn to be with the best man that I have ever known, "MY FATHER-IN-LAW" Phil

Love,

Your Son-In-Law

Hello Daddy, it's early Sunday morning and I am up. I can't sleep.

I keep waking up and talking to you.

The birds are singing, the sun came up again. How can the sun come up and the birds sing and you're not here? Joe is cutting the grass. The grass still grows Daddy, the world still goes on but I feel frozen. My heart feels cold. On Sundays we would all get together at you and Mommy's house and have dinner. This Sunday we are all preparing for your funeral. Your funeral. Three words that changed my life forever that keep playing in my head over, and over again when I asnwered that dreaded call, Lis, Daddy died. The words, they won't leave my head. It was at that moment that the child left me forever. It was the moment I realized that even heros die. J goes to high school this year. I feel he has been cheated. Domenic and Angelina have been cheated. We all have been cheated. You have been cheated. But Daddy we are all here. You will be with us always. I will be strong Daddy and I will help Phillip and Janeen take care of Mommy, just like you asked. Us and the kids still need her. We'll make sure she keep the lawn nice and the birds fed. We love you Daddy. I know you died knowing that. Thank you for a wonderful life. I wouldn't be who I am today if it hadn't been for you. I know I have your heart, your beautiful, generous heart. Thank you. May the birds surround you and the lawn be greener that you ever imagined. You can show it to be when I get there. Good-bye........for now. Lisa
