Hi Nick,
Happy Thanksgiving in heaven. I know this was your favorite holiday. I hope you have all the turkey and stuffing you can eat. Nick, I believe in my heart that you had something to do with Nicky leaving us. Please take care of him. Hopefully you two have found peace. I miss you both so much. Enjoy your Thanksgiving in heaven and don't forget to give Koko some of that turkey. I love you....Susan xoxo

Hi Nick,
Happy anniversary. It would have been 29 years on Sunday. Tuesday will be two years that you have left. At least you two are together. Please Nick, love Nicky and help keep him safe. This used to be my favorite time of the year now it has become the worst. Sleep well. Please watch over our family. I love you and miss you. Also pet Koko for me. Goodnight...I love you and watch over us.

October 14, 2010

Nick, I hope you can keep Nicky safer up there than I could down here. Please stay with him,take care of him and love him. This isn't the way life is supposed to be. I guess God had other plans for you both. Please help us down here. It's so hard. Please watch over us and help to get us through this. I love you and miss you. Please take care of our boy.
Love, Susan

Thanks Lord, for allowing me to cross pass with the Marro's all raised with morals, values and respect, I will never forget you, watching you grow and learn in school and on the scoccer field. If there ever was a person who listen, and did what he was told on the field its you, Now Dad has you with him, I know hugs and kisses are going on with our Father, but we here on earth will go through the process and realize how every moment is blessed.

Hi daddy
Well your favorite girl Ashley just had her beautiful babygirl. You and mom mom helped her I know you did. Watch over her for us. I just wanted to tell you that the baby was here but I'm sure u already knew that. I miss you terribly it hurts but I just pretend you are out or working so I don't really have to think about it. It is the hardest thing in the world to be here without you. You were the rock of this family. We r trying as u see but we still need some help with somethings. I love you with all my heart and soul. Tell mom mom I'm gonna help take care if Phyllis cause she is not doing so well. Stay with my girls cause I miss them and they need your love till I get there. I miss you daddy and love you with all my heart and soul. I wish you were here to see Samantha grow up it is hard for me to know you won't be in her life. It kills me. I wish this didn't happen to you life is not fair and I hate it alot. When u left you took a big part of your family with you. It will never be the same without you. We r trying but it just isn't the same without you here. I am selfish I want you here I need you here. I can't just pick up the phone anymore to tell you gossip or just to tell you about how Sam did on her report card. I hate this stupid thing and I don't know y I am even babling on. I just don't know. But i do know that i love you and miss you with all my heart and soul. Please watch over our family and watch over those crazy granddaughters too. Rip daddy.

Hi Nick,
Just want to wish you a Happy Father's Day up there in heaven. We all love and miss you. It still seems surreal. The funny thing is life just goes on...it doesn't matter how we feel...life just carries on. I hope you are resting well and are pain free. Please watch over us and give Koko a hug and kiss for me cause I know she right by your side. I love you!

Casey misses her daddy.

Hi Nick,
Just thinking about you. There was so much left unsaid. I guess I didn't believe you were really gonna leave me. I'm trying to do my best down here but it's not easy. You gotta give me some help. Some days I feel so alone or maybe I'm just lonely. I'm not sure but I do know I miss you. Every time I look at Nikolena, Sam and Ava, I think how proud you would be of them. They are so smart and so beautiful. It's not fair that Ava never got to know you. Casey has turned into such a good dog. She never leaves my side. I miss Koko too so I thank God for Casey every day. I know you have Koko by your side and I am glad you have each other but I wish you were both still here with me. The Phillies are playing well and the Flyers could make history tomorrow night if they beat the Bruins. Well, we will be coming tsee you for Father's day. Please watch over us and give me a little help, if you can. I love you and miss you.

Hey dad .. Just sitting here thinking about u as always. Thinking about how tommorrow I would come down and we would get Chinese food and wait for the Flyers and Phillies to come on and we woukd talk about how good the Phillies are and how great it is that the Flyers have stepped up their game to make it into the playoffs and are already up 1-0 in the series.. N then I still have to realize it's not gonna go the way I want it to b because u won't b there and it's the worst feeling ever. On the other hand last weekend Michael and Amanda got married and it was a fun time Amanda looked beautiful and Michael is just a don haha. Soon dad I'll b getting married and again u won't b there and it stinks because u can't babble on my video like u did at Nicoles because u couldn't even stand up lol. Well it's 1:15 am dad and I won't b able to go to sleep if I start getting upset about you so I just wanted to tell you that I Love You so much and we all do and we would all do ANYTHING to have u back big guy. Sleep Well My Best Friend. Watch over all of us.

We love you dad. Happy Easter!

Dear Grandpop,
Happy Easter...We love you!!!!!

Susan

April 2, 2010

Hi Nick, Sunday is Easter. I can't believe how fast time is going by. Have you found Patricia? She lost her fight with cancer on Tuesday. I'm sure you have cause I know you really liked her. We are doing ok down here but we can always use some help. It will be two years but it still seems so surreal. I really wish you could see your granddaughters. They are so beautiful. Ava never got a chance to know you. I often wonder if you would have given the TV up for her...she prefers Mickey Mouse and Barney. Casey is doing well. She was 6 on Tuesday. I am considering getting her a puppy friend. Sometimes I feel so lost here. Sometimes it feels like I just go through the motions. I hate how life has changed. We will be there to see you on Saturday. Rest well and please, watch over us. I love you and miss you!!

March 4, 2010

Hey Dad,
I'm going to write more later but sorry for not being on here a lot it just still hurts. I don't have a lot of time so I just wanted to say that every1 here at the post office misses you and talks about you like you were "the man". But I passed the test I went 50 for 50. So the lineage continues. Love ya
Nicky

Just checking in Big Nick. Thinking of your voice on the sideline during our soccer games willing us forward. Thinking of your presence keeps me moving forward today. You always were the TRUE voice of reason. You said how it was and how it should be whether I wanted to hear it or not. Thank you for always mentoring me. I love you and miss you.

This year is the first in 27 that I have not cooked Thanksgiving dinner. We are all going to Frankie's house. It is strange not to smell turkey cooking. I know you loved that smell. I know Koko is right there with you and I know you will be sure she has her turkey too. Rest well and watch over us! I love you and I miss you!!

Good morning Nick,
Here we go again, the Phillies start the World Series tonight against the Yankees. I know you hate the Yankees so put in some good words for our Phils. There is a mass at Epiphany this Sunday at 11:00 in your memory. Marisa Thomas got it for you last year. We are all coming and we will be at the cemetery one day next week for your birthday. Things are ok down here, but we can always use a little help. Everyone misses you and loves you. Keep watching over us. Tell my Koko that I love her and give her a hug for me. Love you.

Hey Mr. Marro,

King Nicholas.....(my God)....

One year big guy, one year. It feels as if it were only yesterday. We all miss you here bro. You were the rock for a lot of people that gave the greatest advise, and I am sure that most people would agree that your advise was usually always right...and you made us know that it was also....LOL. Now down to serios matters...I know that God probably comes to you for advise so he kinda owes ya one....and I know that he HAS to be a Phillies fan so you see where I'm going with this O' King of Kings....? HAHA....well rest well buddy.. we love and miss ya a ton!!

Susan

October 19, 2009

Hi Nick,
I can't believe that a year has passed since you left. I just hope that your pain is gone and you are resting. We were at the cemetery yesterday, even Casey was there. It still seems surreal. Everyone misses you so much. Well, rest well and watch over us. I miss you and love you.

Nick - A year today...I miss you so much, you were always so entertaining...I loved hearing your take on the current events and oh and what a year….it would have been so interesting. No family event will ever be the same without you. I feel for Susan and the kids because it is so difficult for me when I'm around all of them and you aren't there – it must be torture missing you each day. I know you are watching over all of us and that all the pain is gone. I look forward to seeing you again some day.

Frankie

October 19, 2009

Well dad today is a Year that you were takin from everyone that loves you. I can just hope that ur pain free now and getting the rest that you deserved. I just wanted to tell how how much I love you n miss you. I wanted to thank you for making me the man that I am today n showing me how to be such a great father to my baby girl. I can write for days dad about how great you are but you know already because u knew everything n plus you are "THE MAN" watch over us dad I love you so much . Rest In Peace my best friend!

Michael Maratea

October 18, 2009

One long year. It's been a very sad and painful one without you. We all miss you so much. We miss the funny comments, the good advice, and most importantly your presence. I just wanna say that I love you and I appreciate everything you have done and continue to do for me and my family. Your spirit lives on in each of us Big Nick. Rest in peace.

Susan

October 17, 2009

Hello Nick. It's October 17th...Happy Anniversary! Today would have been 28 yrs. Last year on this day you were still semi there and I know you understood when I said we shouldn't be in the hospital, we should be at the casino losing your money. That was the last thing you seemed to acknowledge. The next day you weren't there at all. Monday will be one year that you left us. We are all coming to the cemetery on Sunday. It's been tough down here without you. We did need you and I wish you were still here. I'm trying my best but sometimes, a lot of times, it doesn't seem good enough. I have been reliving this week of last year. It was a horrible one and thinking about it, I wish I could have done more. I don't know what I could have done but watching you suffer like that is something I'll never forget. I felt so helpless. The kids miss you so much and the grandchildren are missing out on you. I know Casey misses you too. I mite have a friend for her soon. Dr. Rebbecchi is looking for puppies. I hope you are watchen our Phillies...you have a great seat. Put in a good word for them. Please watch over us. We still need you. We still love you. I love you. Rest well and tell KOKO I love her and miss her too.

Frankie Marro

October 14, 2009

Hi dad hope ur feeling better. The phils start their road to b champs again today n I know ur gonna be watchen them but I just wish I could b watchen them with u . I love n miss u so much I hope u enjoy the game . Love you dad.

Susan

October 3, 2009

Hi Nick,I can't believe that it's almost a year that you are gone. Last weekend was a year that you went into the hospital. That began the nightmare. That was a horrible time that I'll never forget and wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The Italian Festival was last week. It was strange being there without you cause last year I didn't go cause you were sick. Things have changed so much. I haven't had time to really stop and think how much my life has changed cause I am so busy with everyone else. Lately, I do find that I am having problems dealing with stuff. Sometimes it gets so overwhelming I just wanna cry. Most of your stuff is untouched. I'm sure Rosie has found you. Reunite her with her mom and dad and she won't bother you...lol. The kids are doing ok. The grandchildren are getting so big and more beautiful by the day. Ava has become the 'thug' you always called her. Casey is still a nut but she has become my best friend. I love that dog with all my heart!! How is my Koko? I miss her so much! You must have your hands full petting Koko,Brandy,Kiki, Shadow and Dusty. Well, Robert hung the Nick Marro Award plaque in the gym under the scoreboard. Of course he hung it crooked and then his drill died so it is still crooked...lol...we were just imagining what you would be calling him. Nothing that I can write here, that's for sure. I will talk to you later. I love you and miss you. Kiss Koko for me and tell her mommy misses her too! Rest well and please, watch over us!!

Frankie Marro

October 2, 2009

Hey dad our team started tonite. The Flyers looked great , again I wish I could just call u like always . I love you Dad sleep well.

October 2, 2009

Hi Daddy ...Just missing you so much that my heart hurts..i wish you were here..life is not that same without you..it sucks really really bad..i dont wanna get used to you not being here..but i guess i really dont have a choice..can you tell mommy i miss her too..well im sure you see that my last baby Dusty is with you so now you have all 3 of my babies..so now my heart feels totally broken...can you please take care of my babies for me...tell mommy to help you since you know dusty can be a handful..haha..but i miss you and love you with all my heart and soul..watch over us cause we still need you~~ RIP DADDY ~~kiss my baby girls for me i miss them terribly..my house is so empty without them..

Cindy Pierandozzi

September 2, 2009

Hey Nick.....Just thinking of you and missing you. A year ago this time was dreadful, but yet you still managed to come to the corner my first week back just so we could gossip. You were in so much pain, but at the same time the strongest I had ever seen you. You didn't want anyone to worry...It just showed how much you loved Sue and the kids....You were something else Nick...A man I will never forget and one I will always miss. Hear me in my prayers Nick,and as always I'll keep you Updated on whats going on. Love Cindy

August 30, 2009

We were at the house today for Nicky's birthday. You beleive he and I are 27 already. I remember as a seventh grader you running up and down the sidelines during our soccer games. I found myself frozen today as I walked from the kitchen to the living room and remembered you sitting on your couch one loud Sunday with gun range earphones on. I let out a small snicker thinking of you and your over the top ways. I miss your 64 oz jug of water you had by your side at all times. Its just a shame it wasn't a 76ers mug you Flyers fan. Well I've talked your ear off enough already. Sleep well Nick. Not a second goes by that I don't think of you. Thank you for always believing in me, it means the world. I love you.

Michael Maratea

August 25, 2009

Hey big guy. Just checking in to say hello. I think about you all the time. I can hear your voice in my head and it still keeps me in line. I love you so much I just wish you were still here so we could hang out in the living room watching the game and just enjoying each others company. Thanks for everything I love you

cindy

August 19, 2009

hi dad, how are you? hope your ok. can't believe that your gone 10 months.. time is fying down here. things are still the same stop laughing at me. get it together and please help. everynight dreams of you.. i need you to tell me wht to do.. give me a hand down here. i miss you wish you were here.. love you..

Susan Marro

August 6, 2009

Hi Nick,
Hope you are living the 'good life' up there.I hope it's happy and pain free. I'm sure Kenny has found you. You both need to watch out for those you left behind down here. We need your prayers, both families. Ok? Can you believe that Ava has turned 2. She is a piece of work, a 'thug' as you called her...lol Sammi will be 5 and Nikolena was 9. They are all so beautiful!! The time is going by so fast. We got your mother hearing aids but she says we made her get them, the guy stole her money and she put them in the drawer never to be worn again. Rosie is Rosie, no explanation needed. Casey is still crazy but she is a great dog. How is my Koko? I know she is there at your side. Tell her that "mommy loves her." Oh and just so you know, I am no longer a squatter. You know what that means...lol Rest well and watch over us. Love, Susan

cindy

August 5, 2009

Hi Nick

I haven't been writing cause I
had a problem with the computer. But not a day goes by that I don't think of you. On the last day of school at the awards when Sue came up to give your scholarships I couldn't stop crying. Then I saw Robert Simon and together we cried and can't get over that your not here I MISS YOU. My grandson will be 2 soon and I remember you at his 1st birthday party and you we not feeling well. If we only knew then. Send a sign cause I miss you and love you.

Hi Dad,
i never have written on this thing before, at least yours, and i guess its cause i dont know how to put this into words. But i am sittin here with casey and i clicked on this by accident so i am gonna try and to tell you the truth i never even really read this. Dad you know how you told me that one day i would realize you were harder on me because you needed to be because i needed you to be. You told me i was to smart for my own good and i would get lazy cause everything comes to easy to me (except sports right? but frankie had that covered). But you were right (and it kills me to admit that cause i never said you were right about anything). Me and you both knew you were like that to me cause you did love me and as much as we both denied it you saw yourself in me. You saw what i never did and what i am starting to see now. Dad i am sitting here crying wishing you were still here so i could talk to you. We both left ALOT of things unsaid. Most importantly i never told you I love you and i know our relationship wasnt like the one you had with frankie but i always knew i could count on you and daddy right now i need you more than ever cause i have no idea what to do. Everything that has happened since you died has been on me and me alone. I really have had a really bad time since then. I lost everything in my life that meant anything to me. But i know i can handle it and i'm going to i promise. I will win at life cause i know how to persevere and regain control cause that you did teach me. Dad i dont know if i can ever be you, although i will try to be, but i will be something and hopefully something you would be proud of casue thats all i ever wanted was for you to be proud of me like you were of so many other people. But its hard for me cause you always told me i was gonna be better than you that i was your shot at makin a mark in this world and that is a lot to handle cause i would ask myself: how can i be better than the best? But whether you realized it or not you made a mark. Take into consideration the kids at the school and how much you meant to them, your friends, and your kids, and our friends. I still run into people i haven't seen and all they can say how great you were (i know you love that). I mean look at cindy, nicole, and frankie - they have families and they are doing really good and what better person could frankie model himself as a father after than you. Dad you would be so proud of them. Dad i tried to be you but i couldnt do it at least not yet anyway and i cracked. I couldnt take everything at one time. I wasnt lying when i said i have had a rough time since you died but i think it made me stronger as a person and you and I both know again that this family needs ME to be right. I'm the one who use to fight for christmas eve at grandmom's, i'm the one who would get everybody to come over at the same time, I'm even the one who started sunday dinner here with everyone. I realize now dad what you tried to drill into my head and that is that i have a purpose and i have people that look to me. It took for me to feel like i let somebody down that is really important to me to realize this. I know a hundred people come to mind but believe it or not it was carissa, a mini me right? I dont wanna feel that way again and i WON'T. So i realize now that i dont know if i can ever be better than you but i also realize that its not bad at all to be just as good as you. And i will be i know it in my heart and as long as i have christie i know i can do anything with her by my side. You know its funny you use to yell and scream when i asked for something but i asked you a couple weeks ago to help me and to show me if i deserved another shot and the next day christie called me and we made up and everything else is slowly falling back into place. I still have alot to do but i am not afraid. So yet again dad thank you. Thank you for everything and i miss you everyday and i love you. I just wish i had another chance to tell you all of this. Well i am gonna go do another one of your favorite pastimes: eat. But please watch over mommy for me i dont know how she hasnt had a nervous breakdown. I'm sorry dad i really am and i'm sorry i havent been to see you but i just can't and you know that and you know why. Again its funny i never wrote on this before now i feel like i cant stop typing. Anyway dad i love you and again i miss you.

Love Your Son,
Nicky

Good Morning Nick,Happy Father's Day!! We came to see you yesterday. We left flowers, pictures and balloons. Sam and Ava let a balloon go up to heaven. We saw it disappear behind the clouds. Did you get it? I know Koko is with her daddy today. I'm sure she is right there with you. Kiss her and tell her mommy misses her soooo much. This day is gonna be tough on the kids. Please give them a sign that it's going to be ok. I hope it is bright and sunny where you are and you are pain free and relaxing. Things are still unsettled down here. You need to see what you can do to help. Anything! Enjoy Father's Day in heaven. WE miss you and we love you!!!! Make sure you tell my dad and your dad Happy Father's Day for me!!!

Hi Nick, I hope you are free of all the pain you had. No one should ever have to suffer like that. We all miss you down here. Things have been really crazy. Can you give us a little help? Anything! Well, here's some news. At the sports banquet, they renamed the Al Rosario award. It is now the Nick Marro award. This year it went to Nicky Simon and Dominique Roccuzzo. Their names will go on the bigger plaque in the gym. Today I went to the closing mass. They gave out two Nick Marro scholarship awards. They went to Gianna Talarico and Daniel Amadio. All the winners are great pics and good kids!!! There is even a tribute, to you, in the yearbook. I'm sure you know that today is the one year anniversary for Koko. I just know that you are petting her and giving her all your love. Tomorrow Sam graduates. You should see how cute her cap and gown are. Ava is getting so big and is just about potty trained. Nikolena got promoted with the highest general avg in her class. You would be proud of them. We love you and we miss you down here. Please give us a guiding hand. Rest well and watch over us!

Good Morning Nick, Tonight is the Beef n Beer. Robert is taking money and forming scholarships in your name. You wouldn't believe how much everyone misses you. You really were 'the man.' Should be a good crowd. Even Nikki and her crew will be there with Vodka in hand, she said...lol It is going to seem so strange without you there and I know the guys are gonna miss you too. Who's going to buy our raffle tickets? lol I miss you and the kids miss you so much. I'm trying to keep everything going the way you would. Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming. Frankie replaced the lock on the front door. You would have been proud. He did a good job once he read the directions...lol...Nicky has his hands full with your mother. She drives him nuts but he has all the patience in the world with her. You'd be proud how he handles it. OMG poor Ava she hit her mouth the other night and her tooth went through the tip of her tongue. There was blood everywhere. She was standing on a chair at the table and Monique was sitting next to her and she just lost her footing. Nicky is calling Monique, Moni Dearest...it's too funny!! Ava is getting so big and saying so much more. Sam is going to Jenks next year and Nikolena is getting really tall. They are all beautiful girls. Haley misses you too. She says you always called her 'the kid.' She's a smart one and Nicky has her watching Jeopardy and learning about Area 51. Casey is still a nutty Lab but she is my best friend right now and I would be lost without her. Casey will be 5 in 2 weeks. I have to assume she is not calming down...lol...How is my KOKO? I miss her. I know she is close by your side getting petted probably right now as I speak. Tell her mommy loves her. Your mother and Aunt Lena, for the most part, are doing pretty well. Rosie, well, that is another story. I don't think she can be alone anymore so we are looking into different stuff. WE will be there to see you soon. Please watch over us especially the kids and grandkids. Kiss Koko for me. I love you!!

Hey big nick!
How's it like up there? I wonder if it's always summer (maybe not) maybe winter like it is here? We had a hugeeee storm last week and we had a snow day. Ave HATES the snow, frankie said you'd think it was acid the way she was screaming. Even when bear came in from outside she wanted it off of him right away haha. My birthday was a week ago, even though I didn't get a party I got a mini party! Frankie and Moni got me alot of clothes (: (I needddd) ohh and I got my phone back and also since my itouch got stolen (yes I know don't laugh) I bought a new one with the money I got from my birthday:D Even though you can't be here to watch ava grow up I'm sure everyone will remind her about the great grandpop you were to Samantha and Nikolena. They all miss you very much! Keep watching down on us.
Love yah, vicky<3
