Thank you for remembering our son and brother, Mark Fuschetti

For days and days now, I've been trying to come with something to write which didn't sound hopelessly cliche. Then, I read Irma's comment and I think she said it best. In my case, "...admired by those whose lives he touched." And, to think he touched my life seven years after his passing and beyond -- is saying quite a lot about one man's soul. Yes I do admire Sheldon and in more ways than one. Thank you Sheldon. Thank you Jay (for everything) and thank you Irma for saying it best.

During our celebration of Gay Pride today, it is a time to remember those that have helped bring us to were we are today. Shelly was a dear friend that will always be part of my life.

Sheldon is remembered by those who knew him, and missed by those who loved him, and admired by those whose lives he touched.

It's hard to believe I am the same age he was at the time of his passing -- he was far too young and special to go so soon. Thank you for remembering and keeping Uncle Shelly's memory and vision alive and vibrant.

A fitting tribute to a wonderful man from two wonderful people. It doesn't get better than that.

Love,

Jay and Tom,

You have been loving stewards of Sheldon's memories, and you honor him beautifully, today and always. The many and profound ways that he has shaped your lives and others is clear. He lives on through you both.

In memory of Sheldon and the brave men and women who helped us achieve what we have today. With fond remembrances and gratitude as we continue the journey toward equality.

I did not know Sheldon but I do know Jay. Listening to Jay's stories of Sheldon make me realize that altho I never met him I missed out on a wonderful opportunity. My condolences to everybody who knew him. Ellen Melnick
