a goodman who always looked out for me in high school,. GOD BLESS YOURS. love from lawrence mercardante

I miss you every day. These days seem harder than normal because so much is changing in our family. Someone's graduating, someone's getting married; in short, life is moving forward without you. We all miss you terribly.

I still hope I make you proud every day. You're the first man I ever loved and you set the example of what I want for the rest of my life.

We love you....

I haven't looked at this book in a few years. Doesn't mean I don't think about you, because you know I do, every single day. I really wish you were here right now because we really need your calming influence. Come visit me. It's been too long....

Thinking of you today, Mr. Noto. Your family misses you every day, and they always find ways to keep you in their lives. Although I feel like I already know you in many ways, I often wish I could have met you in person. You raised an amazing son; who I love very much. I will do my best to always take care of him, to be there when he needs someone, and to bring him happiness. I hope you are enjoying your time with 'Pop' and Trish. You have a great family. You are all missed by many....

I miss you.

Wish I could give you a big hug. Happy Birthday!
It's a shame I never got to join you and your friends for the poker parties. I always wanted to play with you guys and share a beer, rather than just sneaking drinks behind Mom's back. Shh! Don't tell her.

Really missing you, Dad. Wishing we could talk, at the very least.

Today I had a dream that I was playing soccer again. It was a good feeling. Often I wonder how good I could have been if I had trained harder.
I wish the US could have gone further, but what can you do?
All of this soccer and other things make me miss you a lot. Send some goodness to this world. There is not enough of it.

I really miss you. It still feels terrible not having you here. Wish you and I could watch some baseball. And the World Cup is this summer; it's been a long time since we've watched one of those together. I know you are doing good things. I love you a lot.
