Uncle Petey,
Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Michael and I saw your picture in the paper (Anthony is looking more like you everyday). We sent you an angel to watch over in November -Michael's son E.C. I sleep a little better knowing that he is not alone. He has you, along with Big Nana and my sister keeping an eye on him. Please watch over him until I see him again. Always thinking of you.

My Dearest Angel,
Hope you enjoyed seeing everyone at your birthday mass which was such a beautiful service at Holy Rosary. Anyone who is anyone was there and those who weren't were there in spirit. Kristie was there with her mom and I finally got to meet Dominick who was being fussy and they left early (he never would have lasted through the mass). Aunt Dot and Uncle Sam made a special effort to make it there and, of course every family member (Anthony was working as well as a few others) was there filled up the aisles. We all decided to go out to eat and had a great gathering.

We don't only think of you at these holi(holy)days. I'm sitting at the computer and your picture is right in front of me and I talk to you every once-in-awhile. You're always here so it's redundant to type it all out -- you already know everything.

We will be visiting your grave today before we go to Aunt Mary's (with the family again) for St. Joseph's pasta. I will leave calla lilies and palms there just to acknowledge we visited.

Christina looks so radiant and happy (pregnancy agrees with her).

Anyway, happy birthday, we'll have a plate of pasta here on Palm Sunday for you and Happy Easter.

Missing, missing, missing you every moment.

Hi Pete.
Although there is no time and space where you reside, here, we mark two years of your transition. I continue to miss you. I guess I always will. I know how much resource you have showered on your loving family and it has grown as a result. Continue to hold close those dear souls who know you best and place reminders of your love in the paths of those who continue to despair on your departure.

Hi Pete,



Sorry im a few days behind on writting something on this site..I wrote on the other one..but i just had a hard time putting into words here how i feel. I heard there was a beautiful tree planted in your memory. I know you'll keep that tree beautiful and strong for all to see. I still cant believe its been a year. Somedays it feels like yesterday and others it feels like forever. There are times i sit, think and wonder will this pain ever end (i know it will always be here). The ache in my heart is beyond fixable. There were so many people for you at the church Saturday. I know you would of been proud (7am yet we were all there). People keep saying the year is the hardest hurdle. I'm still not sure about that. I just know in my heart as long as i keep your memory alive. You will always be with me everyday! I hope that heaven is all its made to be and your having all the "fun" one can have! So please keep watch over all of us and know we all love and miss you more than words can express. If you can do me one favor...Please keep watch over your Mum, Pop and Anthony for me. I think alittle of your love and help is needed!



Missing you

*Kisses to Heaven*

Love Always,

It was a beautiful day for an anniversary mass. Your grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins and visitors were there and thinking of you this morning. Kristie, her mother Debbie and Cindy were there as well as Mikey and though I did not get the word out to everyone (almost forgot to tell grammy!!!!) your friends and anyone who cared (especially Anthony) has been thinking about you since yesterday (the actual one-year milestone) and everyday. I know you were at the mass with us ... I could feel your hand on my shoulder.



I was fine until Sally Raymond appeared in front of me with roses and hugs and only the two of us as mothers with profound losses knew how we felt in that moment.



We planted the tree in the front yard where the old "big" tree stood till it blighted and withered away. This tree will grow strong and full and will have your fortitude to remind us that you are always, always there for us.



So, this was a day of sunshine, laughter, tears and remembrance. We love and miss you like crazy. Hope you like the florals we planted and especially the tree. Your father searched for the just the right tree and I really think he did a great job. It was so much better than my first choice.



For everyone who was there in person and spirit ... thank you for showing us how much Petie meant to you.

Hello Pete!

Hello friends and family.

A year has passed and when I think of it as a "day by day" time frame it seems a long time. As a 1 year window it seems like only a week.

Perception is a strange "wave" in reality and I know my perception of you Pete will always be of a kind, funny young gentleman.

Keep watch over your Mom, Dad & Anthony.

They are wonderful people.

I miss you.

Love, Bill.

Hi Pete,



Just thinking of you today. With all this rain gives my mind time to sit here and think. I cant believe its been 8 months already. It seems so much longer than this! My heart aches everyday for you.

Imagine a place that is so wonderful and loving that the mind simply cannot perceive it. Imagine a place where a person, who is dying, is told by Christ, "it is not your time to come to me". Imagine this person, who is in spiritual transition, not wanting to come back to a family and friends who are grieving enormously. This is the cradle of the Lord. This is the place we are all going to. It "is" that wonderful!

The pain is here. The loss is here. The regret and sorrow are here on earth.

Peter we miss you dearly! Watch over your loving family and keep them warm and safe.

God Bless.

Dear Gina, Peter & Anthony,



I received your card yesterday. What a wonderful tribute to Peter! I didn't know Peter personally, but after talking to Anthony and some of his friends at the wake, I believe that Peter was truly an outstanding person (it would have been an honor for me to have known him). But, as the saying goes, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree; he had great parents & brother, too!

My thoughts have been with you and your family these past few months. I know how difficult it has been for you all, especially during the holidays.

I'm sure that Peter has indeed earned his angel wings and is watching over you every day, guiding you through the sad moments and smiling with you during the happy ones. Please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you always. Take care and God bless.

Uncle Petey,



Your birthday just passed and I thought of you. It's funny but I think about you all the time. I even pray to you. (I'm still not sure who is intervening for me half the time, you or St. Anthony.) Thank you for being such a big part of my son's and grandson's life. I will always love you for that. Please continue to be their guardian angel and watch over those I love.

Always, Cathy

Dear Gina, Peter and Anthony,

I had a wonderful surprise today in the mail. A beautiful card in memory of Peter. Thank you ever so much! My thoughts and prays go out to you. Funny, when I opened the card today I smiled and for some reason remembered him on one Easter as a little boy. He walked into Auntie Tina's house dress up in his little khaki safari suit just as cute as a button. This little cute button grew into a wonderful person, full of life, personality, and a wonderful man. Pete is now in very special place "Gods Garden", for he only takes the best. Gina, my thoughts my and prays are with you always.

Love, miss and God Bless,

Your cousin Susan

I am thinking of Petie today. Although some time has passed, he is on my mind and heart always. There are some moments where it is so hard for me to believe that I will never be able to hear his voice or feel his warmth while I am here on this earth. I know in my heart of hearts that I will see his beautiful face again in Heaven. I have been praying for his family, Gina, Pietro, and Anthony every single day since I found out that Peter passed. I have also been praying for Kristie, his girlfriend. I know that it is so hard sometimes to understand why things like this happen, but please know that God is perfect. He doesn't make mistakes. He has a perfect plan for all of our lives, including Peter. I love you all (even though I am not close to you physically), and I care so much about the pain you are all going through. I hope that it is a comfort to know that my family and I and I'm sure so many other people are praying for all of you. God bless you, and if there is anything, ANYTHING AT ALL I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.

Love, Sarah

Hello Mr. & Mrs. Cucchiara & Anthony,

I am just writing to let you know that I am still thinking about Peter and praying daily for your family. I miss Pete more than I can express. I am so grateful for having been blessed with his friendship for over 16 years. You are a strong and amazing family, and I know you are gaining the strength to move on each day with God's hand over the whole situation. Anthony, I would love to hear from you. If you want, you can e-mail me. I think the address shows up at the end of my entry. It would be great to reminisce with you. Anyway, please know that I am praying for you all, and Pete's memory will NEVER be forgotten. He truly did leave his own "legacy".

Love, Sarah

The last of the holidays is here. We spent New Year's Eve just the three of us; me, Pup and Anthony. We toasted you at midnight. Everyone is a bit "under the weather" so we didn't get together with the family as we have so many years in the past. You've left just the biggest hole (the Grand Canyon doesn't even match it) and it's been so very very difficult for us to laugh and play and enjoy --- anything. We think of you so often and we're hoping you're doing well in your "angel training". When we hear the sound of beating wings, we'll know it's you! Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Petie, my little jolly friend!

You know that I've been remembering fun times we've shared and I'm so blessed to have known you. Just like Kristie, each time I heard that "Italian Christmas Donkey" song, I thought of you. I must confess that I always hated that song and now, because it is an anchor to memories of you, I love it! I was driving through East Boston for my job a few days before Christmas and It came on the radio and I knew you were saying hello to me from the "old neighborhood".

I'm better for having had you in my life and I know you left the world better than you found it.

God bless you Pete and Merry Christmas!

Gina, Pete & Anthony, we all love you dearly.

Dear Pete:

Today is Christmas...Every day seems to be a challenge to over come this emptiness I hold deep inside. The love I feel for you today and always will never out grow. I want you to know how thankful I am for having you help make me who I am today..The past 5 years went by too fast!! The "why's" are always there...As I long to feel your hugs and just to see you smile. I want you to know I try so hard to be so strong. I know you wouldn't want me to be sad. (Christmas time you were my favorite person to buy for! And still are!!) I just don't know what else to do. Some days I just want to scream and yell. Then there are days I smile and laugh when I think of you. If a car like yours goes by...the sky turns pink.(my sign that your sending me love)..poker..yo yo's and that darn song Dominic the Donkey. I can still see you doing the eehaw part and laughing up a storm with me. These are the things I miss the most...I love and miss you more than I can even express I believe your all around me..and in my heart I know your watching over every one of us..Its just who you are... So Merry Christmas to you My Boo Bear and most of all thank you for loving me.

*Kisses to Heaven*

Always & Forever

When your cousins opened their Christmas gifts there was stunned silence and then tears. They really missed you and it seemed like the t-shirts with your image brought you right into the middle of the room. We miss you so much that the usual game-playing was kept to a minimum. We didn't play "thumbola" (remember how hard it was to get two numbers in a row -- much less fill the card?) and the kids played 45's a bit but no one wanted to play texas hold em (I really think it really hurts to play without you "conducting" the game). We'll be leaving for Grammy's soon - we're taking her out for Christmas dinner instead of her making her usual feast; we've changed a few things only because this is our first Christmas without you here (physically that is). Even though we try to make the holidays easier by changing things a bit there's no mistaking how much everyone misses your smile, your jokes and your teddy bear hugs. Merry Christmas my sweet angel. I love and miss you so much. Mom

Today was the first "big" snow-storm of the season. I was drving to the grocery store and found myself thinking about Petie. I remember a few winters ago, Petie and I were driving around just enjoying time together. He pulled into the parking lot at Osco drug (now it is something else), and we did do-nuts in the parking lot for about 20 minutes. I remember screaming at him to stop, but he kept laughing, telling me that it would be okay.

I think about Peter every single day, and often dream about him. I know that if he was still here with us, I would have called him today. He was such a beautiful person, and I miss him so much. I love you Pete.

I miss your hugs and your attitude with me that helped me through every day of my recovery. I knew the holidays would be hard so I'm all geared up to handle it. I will miss you at the table this afternoon but be assured your placecard is at your place and we will all be remembering you. Yes, we all have had a very hard time, but we will all be giving thanks that you meant so much to so many. Hugs and Kisses. - Mom

I can't begin to describe how heart-broken I was and still am after hearing about Petie's tragic death. Petie and I had a strange but special friendship. I truly loved him and considered him to be my best friend, although we would go months, sometimes years between communicating with each other. Somehow, no matter how long it was since we last spoke, we always picked up right where we left off. Petie was a wonderful person, by far the most genuine human being I have ever known. He had such a warm and caring way about him that would force people to gravitate to him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, especially his mother, father and brother. I pray for God to bring you peace and comfort in this trying time. Petie's memory will FOREVER be engraved in my heart.

Lena Bistany-Nye

October 14, 2005

Petie, The one thing that is vivid in my mind and heart is what a caring and heartwarming person you are. Whenever I was visiting with your mom, every single time you entered the room you would make a beeline to me to give me a kiss. It always made me feel special. You will always have a warm spot in my heart. And while you're watching over your parents and brother, I'll be one of the many watching out for them along with you. Sweet dreams, young prince.

In Loving Memory

Of

Peter Cucchiara

3/14/1974- 9/15/2005



If roses grow in Heaven,

Lord, Please pick a bunch for us.

Place them in our Peter’s arms

And tell him they’re from us.

Tell him that we love him and miss him,

And when he turns to smile,

Place a kiss upon his cheek,

And hold him for awhile.

Remembering him is easy,

We do it every day.

But, there’s an ache within our hearts

That will never go away.

Phyllis

October 10, 2005

Gina,Peter & Anthony - I can't put into words the sorrow I feel for the loss of Petie, my dear god child and your precious son & brother. The outpouring of love from his family and so many friends is a reflection of the special charm of Pete. I know you will be sustained by the wonderful memories of a son & brother that was so caring, dependable and thoughtful to everyone (especially you guys). I will always be here for you. Love,Phyllis

I can only imagine the grief you are in....and promise you the support of my prayers and affection.

Hi Pete

I never thought i would be doing this. You were always better at words than i was!! There's so many things that i never got a chance to say to you but i know you've heard me these last few weeks. At a time like this being grateful and thankful is really hard. But i have lots to be grateful and thankful for. God gave me you for 10 years of my life. You were not only my 1st love but you were also my 1st real breakup. Through it all you stuck by me and we became really good friends. You have heard all my secrets and shared all my pain. You are the true definition of a friend!! You have not only touched my life but the lives of so many & we will miss you terribly!!! My prayers and thoughts go to your family. Especially your mom, dad and Anthony. And i won't forget Kristie.....she's everything you said she was and more.....she's a wonderful person! I'm so glad i finally got to meet her. Only i wish it was under different circomstances. I will try to live life by your example...i will try to live each day to it's fullest, i will try to live life with no regrets and i will try to bring happiness and joy to all that's around me!!!

I will miss you like i love you

To the Cucchiara family, Me and my family and especially my sister Sarah who was a very close friend of Pete back in the day when we spent the summer at my gramma's down the street from his house, send our prayers to the good Lord on your behalf. We regret so much that we heard of Pete's death after the funeral. Pete was a barrel of laughs and someone who could be counted on. I last saw him in 2001 when he picked me up from Logan airport in true friend fashion. He truely was a unique individual. Again my prayers to you all for comfort and peace at this time.

Pete-

Although we've never had the chance to meet, I feel as if you were a true friend of my own. I have heard many great and funny stories. Thank you for showing Kristie the meaning of true love. Through her love and fond memories of you, your spirit will remain alive.



My thoughts and prayers are with the Cucciara family.



With love,

Jenn

Hi Peter;

It is said that "it's best to not know the last time you will see some one". Perhaps that's true but I sure would be happy to spend a few more hours with you. Having known you for only 4 years, you've earned a place in my heart forever. I will miss our occasional evenings of Poker, beers and a little "ball busting".

My deepest sympathy to the Cucchiara

family. I have said good bye to three family members in as many years. I know the depth of sorrow and I also know that although it will never entirely go away, you will be able to handle it over time.

Our dearest Peter has transitioned into perfection. I look forward to a distant time when I will see Pete again and I'm comforted in knowing that although it my seem like a long time for us, for him it is immediate.

Peter,I will miss our philosophical

talks, the dirty jokes we've shared and laughter you created for us all.

I will miss you.

God bless you & your family.

LOVE,

Billy.
