Hey little brother,

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you dearly. Grandma had a mass for you at St. Peter's (of course you know that), I almost missed it, I thought it was for 7pm. But, knowing grandma, it was at 7am. LOL... who goes to church at 7am on a weekday I thought to myself, at I was rushing to the church. But, I made it if from my door to the church door in 15min. And of course, everyone was driving hella slow... I look at your picture, I see a handsome young man. Your BEAUTIFUL and I miss you.

Please keep watching over dad, he needs you.

And, Please give huggs & kisses to my little butterflii and tell her Tia Mercy misses her very much!

I love you Daniel...

Baby, I am sitting here with our daughter and wishing so badly that you could just come back to us. Our little Rizzo Butterfly is so beautiful, she is everything I have ever wanted. Thank you baby for leaving me with this little girl. I really don't know what I am doing anymore even though all this time has past nothing has gotten easier. I miss you soooo much and everyday things happen that make me say I wish my Beebs was here, especially these days after our dad died, i sure could have used some of your support and your sholder to cry on, you always made me feel better when you wiped my tears away. I just hope dad is in heaven with you, and you are both smiling down on the baby and me. Words do not express how much I love you, but Babe I do love you so very much and I miss you with every breath I take! There are so many things that I would have done different before and after you passed, but from now on Baby it is all about Our daughter, Our Mom, and Me. Daddy we love you and we'll sign again! Hugs and Kisses that I crave giving you! Rest In Peace!
