Andrew, I am in utter disbelief in learning you are no longer with us. I remember holding you as a little infant. You're now in heaven with your brother Vinnie, aunt Dianne, cousin Jason and many more beloved relatives. I will always remember you and will be looking for you when I reach the other side.

November 26, 2010

Happy Birthday Drew, we will never forget you.
Love the Scicchitano's

To my beautiful angels, Missing you, thinking of you and loving you everyday with my broken heart. Anthony's trial is going on. Please help the family to have justice in his name. It has been 6 years since last I saw your smiling face my Drewie. Until the day we are all together again, I hold you and Vinnie in my mind, thoughts and heart. All my love, hugs, kisses and tears from here to Heaven. Tell my Dad I miss him so. Love Momma :(

Dearest Vinnie and Drew:
Just a quick note to tell you how much your being gone from our lives hurts. There will never be another little Vinnie or another Drew and I guess that is appropriate. Life will never go on the same way without you. If it were to be the same, we could only conclude that your life meant nothing, made no contribution. The fact that you left behind a place that cannot be filled is a high tribute to how unique and special you both are. All my love, hugs, kisses and tears from here to Heaven. Hugs and kisses to Grandpop for us. Love Momma :(

Drew,

Another year has just passed without you. I still don't believe that. It still hurts everytime I think about it. And even though it has been five years I can still remember exactly how you smelled exactly how you sounded and exactly what every inch of your beautiful face looked like! I carry your heart in my heart always! I am about to have a baby of my own now so wish me luck with that! If it is a boy I may name him Andrew! I love you!

Kathy Dougherty

February 9, 2009

This is for Little Vinnie: 13 years have passed. You left us at the tender age of 17. If you were still alive you would be 30 years old. Impossible to believe, but so true. I wonder what you would look like now. A fine handsome man I am sure. I miss you terribly as always. Please visit me in my dreams. I ache to see your face once again. Kiss and hug Drew and Grandpop for all of us. Look over Matt and Arianna as they move forward in their lives. Till the day we all meet again I send all my love, hugs, kisses and many tears from here to Heaven

Drew, On Tuesday September 2nd, 2008 the trial started for the two people charged with your murder. It was a week of hard times, never knowing what the outcome was going to be. Well, on Tuesday September 9th, 2008 the verdict came in. GUILTY on all charges. Justice was served for you and us Drew, but no matter what the verdict, you are still and never again will be, with us. You can rest now, we will continue on until the wonderful day when we are all reunited again with you, Little Vinnie and Grandpop. Untill that time we continue to love, honor, cherish and miss all of you. Love forever, always and a day, Ma Dukes

Drew today is 3 years that you were taken from us. Not a day goes by that you and Vinnie are not thought of. You are loved and missed so much. my heart is broken but for some reason today it is much heavier. Please visit me in my dreams and give me one of your famous hugs. Vinnie can you visit as well? It has been 11 years since I've seen your beautiful face. I miss you both so much and now Grandpop is with you as well. I am happy that you are all together, but I can't believe you are all gone from my sight. Please keep each other close and always remember that I wait patiently for the day we are all together again. Love always and forever and a day Ma Dukes :(

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.

To my beautiful angel sons: I think about ypou all the time and about how unfair it is. Sometimes I just want to scream at the unfairness of this. My heart is aching and my soul is broken, but I live for the day when I am reunited with both of you again. Only God and I know how much I miss the both of you and your beautiful smiles. I miss your laughter and your gentleness. Loving you always and forever and a day Momma :(

Hey Babe..

I been thinking about you alot lately. I saw your sister at Not Just Pizza the other day.. It really upset me because it was like looking at you.. She's very pretty and she looks exactly like you baby.. I had to walk away because I didn't want anyone to see me cry.. But I think it was good for me to get that out.. I needed too .. I hold soo much back sometimes and it felt good to have some kind of release ya know? .. Yesterday I was sitting on my deck and I was thinking to myself if I could still remember what your voice sounded like and at first I couldn't and I got soo upset but then I sat back and closed my eyes and played back in my head one of those happy times we had together and it was really nice .. It was really great to know that no matter how long its been since I have heard your voice in the physical sense I will ALWAYS remember your voice in my heart and in my mind .. I LOVE YOU<3

I know that you and Drew are taking care of each other, but please reach out and take care of us too. It hurts so much! Thank you for Matt's gift, I know you two had alot to do with that.

Hey Drew it's your baby sister. I know I haven't written in a while, but all I can do anymore is think of you. Oh man...Thank you for visiting me in my dreams so often. If I can't see your beautiful smile physically, then i'm happy to know your can send that angel face to me while I sleep. I love you Drew with all of the pieces of my heart. I still can't believe it's been a little over a year since you've left us. it's hard for all of us to cope without you. When my life is well lived out and my time comes you'll know i'm happy when I get to the top of the stairs and you two will be standing there waiting for me. Then and only then will my heart be free.

Hey Drewie, Crazy dream last night huh? My heart hurts. That is the one dream I never wanted to have and I felt so grateful that I never had it at all after Vinnie died. I asked for the same thing this time, but I had it and I guess I know now that I have survived it. I always thought after that dream I would fall apart, but I'm still standing. Many thanks go out to all of those who are with you that watch over all of us. I send my deepest love, most heartfelt gratitutde and many, many tears. I am thankful you came into my life and showed me all that you did. Now I just sit and wait until the time we are all together again. Much love to you and Vinnie. Sleep well my beautiful angel sons. Love always, forever and a day, your heartbroken Momma.

Hey Drew, Thanks for the dream last night. You looked so beautiful. I am so grateful that I was able to touch you. Please continue to give me that wonderful gift. It will never equal seeing and touching you in real life, but if that is the only way to make it happen, then I will gladly and lovingly accept it. Always remember that I love you and Vinnie with all my heart and soul and I will keep waiting for the joyous day when we are all together again. Until that time much love, respect and many tears from here to Heaven. Love always and forever and a day, Momma (Ma Dukes) :( P.S. One day I will tell Alexis about the message, I know it was you :)

Don't think of him as gone away,

His journey's just begun,

Life holds so many facets,

This earth is only one,

Just think of him as resting,

From the sorrows and the tears,

In a place of warmth and comfort,

Where there are no days and years,

Think how he must be wishing,

That we could know today,

How nothing but our sadness,

Can really pass away,

And think of him as living,

In the hearts of those he touched...

For nothing loved is ever lost,

And he was loved so much.

Hey Vinnie, Happy Birthday in Heaven. It is hard to believe that 27 years ago I gave birth to you. You were so small and beautiful, you had a golden glow all around you. Well now it has been 9 years since I have seen you last, but you grow in my mind. I imagine all the things you would have accomplished if you were still with us, but you are not here and my heart is forever broken. I am broken!: ( Light the candles on your cake and make a wish. I will make a wish here that you are all well and that you will continue to visit me and give me signs. Oh Vinnie, you are such a special part of me and I miss you so much that words can never adequately express what I feel. Hug Drew tight and keep him close to you (Give each other big hugs and kisses from all of us to both of you) Watch over us and say hi to Walt (& Happy B-day). Until the day when we are all together again, I remain your loving, devoted, heart-broken momma. Vinnie and Drew, my two beautiful angel sons I love you and wish you peace. :(

Hey Drew..

Hey BabE I been thinking about you alot lately..Not that you not ever on my mind but lately my mind and my heart has been drifting alot to you lately. As I read what your mother wrote it scares me a little because the other night I also had a dream about you and at the end of my dream you walked away with your brother and I never met your brother.. Im not even sure on what he looks like.. I really dOo believe thats how you visit us and let us know you are okay through our dreams.. The same thing used to happen to me with my Grandmom Marie.. IT used to scare me when she came and saw me! I used to make my little sisters sleep in my ned with me because I was sOo terrified about seeing her ghost outside of my dream. But with you is different. I welcome that and I wish I could see you. I miss you sOo much Drew. I love you.. Meet me again tonite in my dreams <3

Hey Drewie, Thanks to you and Vinnie for the wonderful dream that you gave to me. It made me very happy to be with all of you together at the same time. Also thanks to both of you for Ari's dream. It was a little bizarre, but she got to see both of you together in heaven and that helps alot. Until that joyous day when we see each other again, I remain your loving, devoted momma. Love always and forever, Ma Dukes :(

Hey Drew, I think of you all the time, but for some reason I am haunted by your memory right now. It is a feeling so deep inside of me that I can almost taste it. Are you trying to tell me something??? If you are please make it clearer. A piece of my world ended after Vinnie died, but now I am slowly falling apart after you. Not two, this just can't be real. This pain inside of me won't stop, it just is there, just on the outer edges of my life waiting to crash down on me at any moment. Please Drew watch over all of us and send me your love and one of your famous hugs! I need it so desperately. Give Vinnie a hug and kiss for me and Vinnie you do the same for Drew OK? I can't wait to see the two of you again, but until that day I remain your devoted, broken-hearted momma. Love always, forever and a day Ma Dukes:(
