Another year goes by and there are many days when someone will say something or I will see something or hear a song that would prompt me to call you out of the blue to just laugh. RIP my friend.

Hard to believe it´s been 15 years. So much has changed yet so much has not. Rarely a day that goes by that your name don´t come out of my mouth telling a story or just a fleeing thought crossing my mind. You are truly missed my friend. RIP

February 5, 2009

Rest in peace, dear friend. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you or all the great times we shared. I am forever grateful that you were apart of my life.

It is so hard to believe that it is coming up on two years. It feels like two eternities since we shared a life together, raising our children together and making plans for our future.

So much has changed in a such a short period of time. The kids are getting so big. Emily is half way through kindergarten, if you can believe it, and she is doing so great. She loves school and learning, it is amazing to hear her read things on her own. She is so beautiful and such a happy kid, her sense of humor reminds me of you so much. I wish you could see her when she gets the giggles and she can’t stop laughing; it is the most hysterical thing. And Paulie, well what can I say? He is growing into a little man that very much resembles his father. His mannerisms and the looks he gives me sometimes, I swear it could be you looking back at me. You would get such a kick out this, the other day he brings me a wrestler from the toy box in the daycare and says “look mommy this is the Undertaker, he is a wrestler guy” with this huge smile on his face. I think it is the only wrestling figure that they have there but I thought it very funny that he found it on his own and has been playing with it every day since then. I wish you could see the way he loves and admires his sister. The bond they share is incredible and I know you are very proud of the way they look out for each other. They are both very strong kids, but your absence in their life is very evident.

Even though they were so young when we lost you, they miss you terribly and certainly feel the void that was left with your passing. We all miss you terribly. Not a day goes that I don’t think about you but I am grateful for what we had and the time that we were given together.

You will be always be in my heart and
I will always cherish the memories of us.

merry christmas. you were in our hearts and minds as always.

No matter what I do; I can't keep you out of my mind.
I am always grateful for when I see you in my dreams...until next time.

There are days that go by and I can laugh at the crazy things you have said. There are days that go by and I crack up when I remember something you did, or a memory that runs random from those 91/2 years. Then there are days that I just want to lay in bed and cry. So instead I ride to Holy Cross, put a dozen of roses there, just like you bought me all of those special moments during those years. I try very hard to do the things that are fair and I try to keep my heart and mind open to all that has happened over this year and a half. I remember the conversations we had those last few months and I am so grateful. I pray everyday for you to have peace. I pray that you can fogive and forget like we always did. I pray that you know the truth like you always did. I just pray everyday for you and I know you are here with us, and you are here with me. I miss you and what you have brought to my life. I am a better person for having you as my best friend and first love. You taught me so much. Now, you still teach me, you teach me how to be tolerant and how to pray for the ones we love. Everyday I look for a sign of some sort, and everyday it is there. That is love, that is true freindship. I have wondered how I would ever be able to live with the fact that you are gone, now I live with the thanks that you were ever in my life. You live and you learn, the older I get I realize all of the little lessons you shared, we shared. I know you know, I know you are here with all of us that you love. I know you know what you need to know. All that I can say is I will always bring you roses, I will always be here, I will always pray for you, I will always do right by our relationship, friendship is a gift and you were a gift to me for many years. I thank God everyday for having been a part of you. Until we meet again, my love and loyalty always. xoxo

I found pictures of you yesterday holding Emily in the hospital when she was born. You were so happy to be a dad and it showed so much in the smile on your face. I would give anything to see that smile just one more time; I would give anything just to talk to you one more time but I can't and that kills me a little bit every single day.
I smile and I go about daily life but the harsh fact remains that you are gone and I will never get over that.
You are forever in my heart, on my mind and a part of my soul.
xoxo, Lex

I agree with Artie, I hate the reminders of how different things are. There is a gaping hole missing from our hearts and lives. It will never be filled. I think about you every single day, I miss you all the time. I just wanted you to know that. Be in peace. Until we meet again. xoxoxo

Another summer holiday weekend and another reminder of how much things have changed. The memories are countless and life would never have been the same without them. RIP bro.

June 24, 2008

On a day like today, I am constantly thinking about you. Everytime I take that stupid Ell. It brings back bittersweet memories for me. Everytime I see someone else we used to talk to or hang out with at IBC it reminds me of such a better time. A time when you were here. I see familiar faces that always ask about you, they don't know. Everytime I tell them, it rips my heart out all over again. This is truly the hardest thing to live with. A handsome, funny, young, larger than life guy like you, gone. I just will never understand. I have that job now, the one that I always told you I wanted at IBC. I know you and Irene were behind that, I cannot thank you enough. My only wish is that you were here to see all the wonderful things that remind us of you. Especially your children. We may never make sense of it, but the love we still feel for you makes perfect sense to us. You may be gone physically from us but our hearts and memories keep you alive within us. That alone is a comfort, even if it is a small one. No one will ever truly know what you are/were to me, my best friend that can never be replaced. Until we meet again. All of my love always.

June 20, 2008

I am having the hardest time right now; in a little over a month we will be leaving the home we shared together as a family. I know it's better for the kids and they will love the area they are going to have to play outside and even though I know you are with us where ever we go it is still very difficult.
I miss you everyday and I think about you all the time and remind Emi and Paulie how much you love them........
I just want to say that no matter where I go or what I do that I love you always and will never be without you in my heart.
xoxo,
Lex

Thinking about you so much today. Its amazing how some days I can just laugh at all of the carzy things you have done or said, then other days I just feel so sad that all I can do is cry. I will never understand it, but I guess that is why we have faith. I will take it on faith that you were needed more than we ever needed you, although I never though that could be humanly possible. You are the best angel anyone could have. I believe that with my heart and soul. You are so very missed and so very loved by so many of us. I miss you so much it hurts. Until we meet again, take care of Irene and Big John, xo.

I hate February. It reminds me of so many things that I miss, you, my Mom, my uncle, all of you. And then just when it gets so sad, I feel like I cant take it anymore, I get a sign, from an angel. It never ceases to amaze me, Thank you. Thank you form the bottom of my heart. Until we meet again. xo

Its hard to believe its been a year. I'd like to say that nothing has really changed but a lot of things have. I wish things were a bit different but I guess it is what it is. You know how to get me if you need me.

February 6, 2008

Rest in peace, Paul.

February 6, 2008

I can't believe its been a year, it feels like an eternity since I was able to come home to your smile or able to cuddle up to you at night. I miss you every minute of the day and I will never stop missing you.
All my love forever,

Wow, this time last year it was all so unthinkable and now it is a year later already and it has to be a reality now. You are so missed. Everyday, all the time, not a minute goes by that you are not thought of. Until we meet again. xo P>S> Say Happy Belated Birthday to Big John for me. xoxxo

The words on this page are for my benefit rather than anyone else's. There is only one person that needs to know the level of my feelings for you and you always knew. This page is an outlet, a place for feelings that I can't express in front of our children as to not upset them. We have our conversations, especially when you visit me at night and your presence is heavily felt in our home, where it should be and where it will always be. Not a day goes by that I don't speak to you or think about you, but saying it is redundant becasue you know this. I think the thing I still have to get used to is coming home to you not being there even after all this time. Some part of me still expects to walk in after work and find you there wating for me. Babe, you know I will always love you and hold you in my heart.

Mary

January 7, 2008

I may not say often enough, but I know that you know. It takes more than words on these pages to care for someone that you lost, and I know that too. I was thinking about you as usual and wanted to say hi, but I do that everyday too, just words on a page. To me its pieces of my soul missing, always, until we meet again.

December 27, 2007

There are no words to describe christmas without you. The children enjoyed themselves and Emi said Daddy was watching with the angels but it was obvious that something important was missing.
We love you always and forever.....

I HOPE YOU HAD A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN.

December 18, 2007

I so miss how we would excitedly discuss what "Santa" was going to bring the kids each xmas and I miss the way we would make a night out of wrapping all the gifts together. This year it is more like a chore then a fun tradition. I miss you every minute of the day but I miss you more when I experience something that you should be sharing with our children.
love you always,

hello, love. I just came from your best friend's wedding. It was beautiful and I know you are so happy for him. I will wish B and his new bride all the happiness and love in the world from both us. It is a day of happiness but I know there is sadness as well because you are not here with us to share this day.

November 23, 2007

i missed our wine sampling session yesterday. i had a glass before dinner, but it just wasn't the same. and tomorrow is the biggest day of our lives and you're not here to share it with us and my heart just aches. so, we're dedicating part of the day tomorrow to you. just our small way of saying 'thank you.' please pray for us all, Paul.

November 20, 2007

hi, love. I can't seem to comprehend that this time last year you were in the hospital and we still had hope. It seems like a million years ago and so much has changed since then. My world shattered when I lost you. I could never imagine a world without you in it....now I live there and it is darker without you. I miss you so much...
All my love forever,
Lex

We missed you last night, love. Me especially; I kept thinking just last year we were all together. You know you were in my heart and I was sure to tell Emi and Paulie that you love them and are proud of them and that you loved their costumes.
All my love forever,

October 28, 2007

hi babe. I started xmas shopping today for the kids and could barely hold back the tears. I don't want to "celebrate" any holidays without you as much as I don't want to open my eyes day after day and continue my life without you it. I have no idea how I am going to smile and pretend to be happy through the upcoming holidays for the children when all I feel is emptiness.
I know you will be with us; I feel your presence all the time but it doesn't make it any easier and surely doesn't make me miss you any less. In fact I miss you more each passing day.
all my love,
Lex

Hey, babe. I was watching our children playing yesterday and was overcome with this feeling of gratitude. I am grateful that on that day in January almost 6 years ago that you and I kissed and changed both our lives forever. That kiss was the beginning of an extraordinary bond that drew us together and immediately we both knew there was something special between us and could barely be apart from that day on.
I am grateful for every minute we had together, as short as that time may have been. It was the happiest time of my life and the most cherished.
I am most grateful for wonderful gifts you left behind: Emily Taylor and Paul jr. I know I speak for all who love you when I say that these children are the greatest connection to you. You will never, ever be completely gone because a large part of you lives on in your babies.
I wish all the time that you were able to be there and share experiences with them as they grow up. This was not our plan at all; our plan was to raise our children together as a family and I can't figure why its not that way. It just makes no sense at all.
I miss you more than I can ever express into words.
All our love, xoxoxoxoxoxo

That game was one that I wished you got to see, but, I guess you had the best seat! :} It is days like those that make me smeile thinking about those days when you and my dad & Rob used to sit and scream at the Tv. Those were always the memories I missed the most. You were my Dad's favorite game partner, the two of you and the things that you would yell! Too funny. It is so hard when I think about how many pieces are missing from so many people because you are gone. Your family, your friends, we all are different now that you are a missing piece. A piece that can never be replaced or fixed. I only wish that you know everyday that I mean every word I have ever said and every word I still say. My life will never be the same.To think that one person can be missed as much as you are, it is true. You were a true friend and a love that could never be forgotten. I miss you. Until we meet again...

How bout those Birds today? It was the Lions though.Sundays just dont seem the same.

I just needed to tell you that I love you with whole heart and soul.
-Lex

September 10, 2007

I know that I say this a million times but there isn't anything more true and more painful. Nothing is the same without you; even something as simple as watching a football game. We would always have such a good time, even the kids would get into it . I had to laugh yesterday when I turned on the Birds and Paulie called it "Go-Go". I know you had to be laughing then too. As usual so quick to follow his sister.
I know you are so proud of him right now as he masters this potty training bit and it's so funny....he will not wear anything but spiderman underwear. I wonder whose influence that is? I see more and more of you in him every single day. He is his daddy through and through. It makes me happy but hurts all at the same time because it makes me miss you more.
As always you have all our love....xoxoxoxo from your family.

The Eagles's Week 1 was nothing for me without your being here. Mom dukes especially missed the pregame 'Go Birds' phone call.

September 9, 2007

So this week I "celebrate" my birthday. Funny thing, I cannot stop thinking about you, not that I ever do. I want so much for it tobe as easy as blowing out the candles and making the wish for you to come back but, reality sets in and we must be realistic. I have been thinking about all of the crazy birthdays from when we were 17 straight through to when we thought we were adults. Who goes to Disney World for their 25th birthdays?? We did. Ha ha. I was just telling the girls about how you used to tease me about Eeyore, and the 5 year old little girl I wanted you to bump out of line.. Hysterical! Its hard to not think about the good times and laugh, and then I think about them and miss you so much all I can do is cry. I cry for the memories that won't be anymore. I cry most for the memories you have been cheated out of. I remember when we were in Disney and we said, Can you imagine being here with kids? I cry for the memories your kids will never have with you, and the fun times they will miss out on. You were the life of the party. You always made me smile. You always made everything so much fun. I miss the sound of your laugh the most. I find myself thinking about those times when you laughed the hardest just so that I will never forget it. It kills me that the memories I cherish the most are the memories that hurt the most. They hurt because they remind me that you are gone. Someday this will be easier, but now, its just painful and hard. I miss you so much it hurts. Until we meet again. xoxox

September 5, 2007

Hello, my love. I must thank you as usual. I would not have gained this accomplishment without you and all the support you always provided. I just wish so much you were here to share this success with me but know that I carry you in my heart. It's funny that I thought this is what I always wanted but I would trade it all in a second to bring you back to our family.
I miss you so my friend. As always you have all our love.....xoxo

August 16, 2007

I came here to express my love for my best friend when I was hit hard by the harsh truth of the first line of Mary's last entry. The reminders of your absence never cease......It begins when I open my eyes in the morning and the first thing I see is the empty side of our bed where you used to sleep beside me and continues and continues throughout everyday.
I am told all the time that it gets easier but I don't believe it. I can't imagine that there will ever be a day when I am okay with living without you.
My heart, my life and our childrens' lives will never be the same.
As always, you have all my love....xoxoxo

Everyday I am reminded of the fact that you are gone, it lays so heavy on my mind and in my heart. I try to make sense of everything and it never does. I guess this is something that you have to take on faith. You are so missed and thought of everyday. No one could ever take your place, no one ever will. Forever in my heart and soul. Until we meet again.

August 9, 2007

Our Emily asks for you all the time. My heart breaks more every time she insists "I want my daddy" because there is nothing I can say since I do too.

July 17, 2007

I remember when you called me after you got the news from hospital. You told me “ I guess its time we go down to AC, check out my luck." But after the joking was over, you explained what you wanted of me, and what I was going to have to do.
The Invevitablity of the facts were all too real and without the words you left me with I would not be the person I am striving to be.
Those words were the last time we spoke when it was just us. I can’t count how many times we joked in the kitchen waiting for one of the kids to spring you into action.
You were always there for them.
Its been a short while now… I’ve been waiting for a signal, anything so I can take a
Deep breath.
…… You were there with me last night, weren’t you? Joel felt you… we all did.
We were glad to be with you one last time.
I believe its true, you were there.
I miss my friend so so much.
Its been very hard, but everyone is going to be ok, and after knowing you were
There the entire time to watch over us. I want you to go and be happy.
A place that is much better is waiting for you.
Everyone here loves you and the kids will Always know their daddy loved them so so much.

July 16, 2007

I am so very honored to have been there and been a part of that wonderful event. Anything for Paulie. Paul, you are a wonderful friend and even better man, the love you have for your children shows so tremendously that your friends even felt it. Thats why they had that great event. It was a knock down drag out Paulie Breeze style party. Only thing missing was you, but we felt you and knew you were there. By the way love the bathing suit shot in the DVD ahhh, the great innocence of being young and not knowing when those kiddie pics will come back and haunt you!! Ha, Ha! You are the best, everyone there showed that. Your friends love you and it showed. You are a lucky man. And those that love you are lucky too!

July 16, 2007

well, you did it again; this time was a bit roundabout to get your point across but it worked!! I can't believe you found it, how did you know how upset I was without that ring?? By the way, I know what the 1 means and the only thing I can say is right back at you babe! your one and only love, lex

Adog

July 15, 2007

Thanks for giving us a reason to have such a great event. Everybody had a blast. We would have liked to see a few more people show up as well as the kids but otherwise it was great. You know how we do it, like we always did. Give me a holla and we'll do it again soon.

Paulie, Paulie, Paulie. Last night was a huge success. We all felt you there. Your hands were in every aspect of that benefit. Your kids are so lucky. They will know how loved their daddy is. Everyone who loves you knows how much they mean to you and it showed last night. We love you deeply, always will. Thank you for being you. You are loved and missed always. You are forever on our minds and you are eternally in my heart. I love you dearly, my best friend. Until we meet again.

July 9, 2007

hi my darling, thanks for being here this weekend. I cherish the moments when you make your presence known to us; you always know how to make me smile and you always know when I need you most. hugs and kisses from your family.....the children and I love and miss you. come home again soon

June 18, 2007

Today I have been overwhelmed with wonderful memories that have made me smile. I was just thinking about how happy you were to find out you were going to be a dad and how you told me we were having a baby rather than the other way around! Then I remembered the 1st time we were in the hospital when I was having trouble carrying Emily. How we had so much fun and laughed so much stuck in that tiny little ER room all night. How relieved we were to find out all was ok that night. It only reinforced how much we wanted to have a child together and how much we loved each other. I got about a million more memories, thank god, and will share all of them with our children. you have all my love always, babe...........

June 18, 2007

well, another holiday without you has passed. do you remember on new years how you insisted that we go out without you and I got upset and asked how many holidays were we going to have spend without you? I had no idea that it would be all of them forever. I can't stress enough how much you are missed. I hope you had a nice father's day, I know you were with us. You showed me that yesterday morning. All my love........

June 12, 2007

Your abscence has weighed heavily on us lately. Even our children are asking for you more often. I wish you were here so much. We love you and miss you, babe.

May 7, 2007

I had the greatest dream last night and I was happier than I can remember in a very long. You were with us and our family was complete again. Then I woke up and went to turn to put my arms around you and it hit it me that it was not real and my heart shattered all over again.
I miss you so much it can't be expressed into words. Our children miss you and we talk about you and all the wonderful memories we have all the time but it is not the same if we are not creating new memories together. We just celebrated Emily's birthday and I felt you there with us and kept you in my heart as we wished our daughter a happy 4th birthday. She thinks you left her balloons because she woke up and they were there.
This week we will celebrate our son's third birthday. I know you will be there as he blows out his candles and don't worry he'll have his balloons from daddy, too.
I love you, babe but more importantly our children love you and trust me, we feel your love for us. That is one thing that we didn't lose, it stayed with us and always will. I will never forget all that we shared as a couple and as a family. Your words of love and commitment are burned in my memory for all eternity. Other than the children that's the only thing that makes me smile. When I think of the beautiful things that you said to me, especially asking me to be your wife, it helps me take a deep breath and focus on our family. Until the next time I see you in my dreams.....
All my love,
Lex

Just another day, another week, another night. I keep trying to make sense of this, and I just can't. I keep praying that is all a bad dream and we will all wake up and there you will be ...happy and healthy. I miss you and I miss our friendship so much it hurts. Until we meet again. My love always.

I am thinking of you more so today than usual. I didn't think that was possible since I think about you every minute of the day; you are my last thought at night when I do sleep and my first thought when I wake. Even though it has only been a month, it feels like an eternity since I last saw or spoke to you. Every day without your smile, your face or your voice breaks my heart a little more. As always, you have all my love until be can be together again.

Thinking of you today and everyday. I'm glad you finally found your soul mate. You deserve only the best. I will always keep you, your children and Alexis in my prayers. Until we meet again.

Paul and Alexis

Sadly missed

My love, your Emily wishes you a happy valentine's day. She loves and misses you very much.

February 14, 2007

The more I am away from you, the more I want you near. I know it makes little sense to want what can't be around but I miss you terribly and will love you my whole life long.
Happy Valentine's Day...
All my love,
Lex

On the most loving day of the year, my broken heart just lingers. No flowers or candy could make up for the loss of you. You were the best idea of love. The best token of love and always will be. Happy Valentines Day. Ubtil we meet again.

Happy 32nd Belated Birthday. My heart goes out to his family, especially his fiancé and children. I will keep all of you in my prayers. I knew from Paul from 9th & Tasker years ago. I haven't seen him in a few years, but his passing leaves a hole in my heart. He was taken from us to soon. I was thinking of a funny story, (we all have many). We were down the shore and him and the guys from 9th Street sang the red-hot chili peppers on the boardwalk in the recording studio. (I forget the name of the song, but it was hilarious.) We all have great memories about Paul that will last a lifetime.

To his family: Remember you have the best angel watching over you. I will always keep you in my prayers.

Paul: Rest in Peace

To my love:
I am struggling with what to do without you; our home is dark and dreary without you in it. I miss you more every passing second since we said goodbye. I ache to hear your voice, see your smile or just hold your hand.
I am honored you chose to share your life with me and long for the times we had together and planned to have in the future.
We are soulmates and that bond can never be broken. I promised to love you forever and will remain true to that promise until we can be together again.
There are a trillion reasons why I love you so and I hope our children exhibit every single one of them. Your legacy lives on in Emily and Paulie jr. and I see you in their faces everyday. Even though our little family is now incomplete and diminished, we will keep you in our hearts for all eternity.
Happy Birthday, my darling.....
All my love,
Lex

On your birthday, tomorrow and everyday until we meet again. You were the best idea God gave us for love. Your face, your laugh, your voice will never be forgotten. Happy 32nd Birthday.

February 11, 2007

Paul,
I watched you grow from a short, chubby little boy into a tall, handsome and charming young man. When John would talk about you and call you his little brother, I would always say "not your little brother, your younger brother". I will never forget how excited you were when you found out that you were going to be an uncle for the first time. Actually, you told me before I told you. You have been a wonderful uncle to the boys and they are going to miss their Uncle Paulie terribly. Paul, I am so sorry that you had to go through all that you did in the last few months. Your courage and strength have been overwhelming. John and I have stayed up many nights trying to make sense out of dad's passing just a short time ago. Never did we imagine that we would spend the rest of our lives trying to make sense out of yours. It is something that we will never understand and it has changed our lives forever.
"There is a place inside the heart where love lives always and where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten". You will always be in my heart and you will never be forgotten.
Love,
Maria

I still cant believe this really happened. Words cn not even explain the pain I feel for P.B.'s family and children.

It was an honor to have such a great friend. A friend that was always there no matter what with no questions asked.

I know that I will never be able to fill the void that this tragedy has created. My life will never be the same. His family always treated me as if I was part of it and I find great comfort in knowing that. They know I will always be there no matter what.

I could write from now until eternity about all the great times we had.

Rest in peace my brother, I miss you terribly. Give me a holla if you need anything, you know how to get me.

February 10, 2007

Anyone who knew him, knew what a great person he was. Anyone who loved him, knows what great love is. Paulie was one of a kind. There will never be anyway to make sense of this. Our lives will never be the same. I know mine won't. To his family, my heart is always with you. To his friends, we will never be the same without him. For my heart, it will never be unbroken. Until we meet again.

To Breeze's family and friends,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Paul since I was 10 years old. I can't believe that he is gone so soon, too soon. I will pray for Paul and for all of you as you deal with this tragic loss. Again, my prayers and thoughts go out to all of you. I am shocked and so sorry.

My heart goes out to all of you. Paul was one of the nicest and funniest people I had the privledge of meeting through his good friend Rico. I am shocked and saddened like everyone who was touched by Breeze. Only God knows why such a wonderful person was taken so soon. You will all be in my prayers.

I keep asking myself the same questions over and over...How could this happen? Why? Is this real? It is so hard to believe that Paulie is no longer with us. No person or experience will ever take his place in our hearts. The loss of him has completely shocked all of us. Artie will be forever and profoundly changed as a result of losing his best friend and "brother". Paulie was loved by everyone who knew him. It was hard not to. He was such a wonderful person. No one who knew him will ever forget him, especially us. My heart aches for his children and family. There is no way in the world someone like him could ever be replaced. I can only hope that the memories of him will somehow make the grief more easier to bear.

R.I.P. - we will love and miss you always.

Love always,
Margurite, Artie and Dominick

Paulie was a great, sweet person. About 11 years ago when my son was in first grade, Paulie would pick him up from school if me and my husband had to work late. He would help him with his homework too.He would even come over on Xmas Eve after my son went to bed and would eat the cookies my son left for Santa, and write a little note to him. He was a good friend to the three of us.He always made us laugh. We will never forget him. We
were devasted when we heard he passed away. Our prayers are with his family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Paul was such a nice person and I will always remember all the good times we had as teenagers hanging on the corner of 9th and Tasker. Words can't describe how tragic this is and I would like his family to know how deeply sad I am and hope that you can find comfort in all the great memories that you have and I will always have of him. Sincerely, Lynda
