Hi Uncle,

It's been a while since I wrote to you on here but always know you are on my mind and in my heart. It's been a very difficult 2 years in our family with the passing of Donna and Dommy. It's hard to put into words how much our family has gone through in that one month when we lost them both. The only solace I get is knowing they are up in heaven with you, my mother, my dad, nana and papa.

Our family isn't the same without you all here with us, holidays are just bearable but we get through them because we know you would want that for all of us.

I know you are smiling down on us knowing that all us cousins are staying close even though we don't see each other often. You taught us that family comes first and no matter how hard life gets we will never go through it alone. Oh how much I would give to spend just one more day with all of you but for now I will be happy with the signs you leave me and the memories you and my parents left us. If only love could have saved you all you would have all lived forever.

Say hello to my parents, Donna, Dommy and nana/papa and please try not to aggravate nana too much. See you all in my dreams.

Love you.
Your niece Angela
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Hi Uncle Dommy
I know I haven't written to you in a long time but always know you are in my heart everyday. The only peace I have is knowing you are with my mom (your beautiful sister), my dad, nana and your brother Rocky. Our family is changing with new births and marriages the only heartache is that you all are not here to see it.

We love and miss you all so much just wish you were here to guide us through these difficult times because you always were the glue that kept our family safe and happy...XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Dad, you've been on my mind and in my heart more than ever these past few weeks. So much has happened that you would go crazy over and be filled with pride. Adriana has gotten her license, can you believe it? She is also going to prom with her boyfriend, he's a great young man and he is very good to her. You would approve. Mike has gotten a great promotion at Fidelity. He is really moving up and works very hard. Danny works 7 days a week to support his family (just as you always did) and will hopefully be starting as a prison guard in the fall. Be sure to watch over him. Dans children, your great grandchildren are amazing. Daniel is 9 and Gianna is 5. They are both spitfires and very sweet at the same time. I know in my heart that you would be going crazy over them. Thank you for watching over us all. Larry and I miss you terribly. We love you and miss you more than you could imagine. Please continue to show me the signs that you are here. I love you.

May 8, 2017

I was thinking of my old friend, Dominic, just the other day. We had some great times at the restaurant. I'm sure God is watching over you in heaven and your family here on earth

Dear Dominic,
It isn't just your family that loves you and misses you; so do people that that ran into you in the course of life. The girl from NH who loved Carl McQuade; Thanks for the advice, I will never forget you, Dom..Karen

sometimes I just wish I could see your for one more minute. I was so lucky to have you as my father and to be as close as we were however it makes the lonliness and hurt last just that much longer. You were the best. I miss you. xoxoxoxo

Dommie, I was speaking of you the other day, as I recalled the great times we used to have at Dominic's Lounge. I was saying that you always had a kind word for the folks who's children were in the Hospital next door, and you always had a big heart for those in need. We miss you my friend.

Happy Birthday Dad. Another year gone by. I miss you every single day. I cannot even imagine how you would be at 75 years old. You will stay forever young in my mind. I will never forget on your 65th birthday when you got your first social security check, you were all happy and waving it around like you were dead broke. It was so funny. Sam graduates today. I know you will be watching her. I love you.

Hi Uncle,

Couldn't sleep and I was thinking of you, my mother and nana. I pray that you are all happy up there in heaven; I know it must be beautiful and I'm being alittle selfish but I can't help it because we all miss you guys...Our family isn't the same without you all here with us but I know you are smiling down on us knowing that all us cousins are staying close. How lucky we were growing up; you guys gave us the best childhood any parent could give their children. We learned the value of family and how important it is to have each others back because nothing will ever replace family. The memories we carry with us could never be what they are without you, my mother and nana creating them for us.

We love and miss you guys so much and hope nana is up there aggravating all of you!!!! LOL...

See you all in my dreams!!!!!!

You were the best and I am very lucky to have had you and to have the memories I have. Thinking of you today on your 8 year anniversary, thinking of you every day. xoxoxoxooxo

Today is 7 years since you left us. I think of you every day. I am always sharing stories about you with the kids, mostly Robert as he was to young to remember you. I love you and miss you every single day. Seems like yesterday you left seems like a lifetime ago. You will forever be in my heart and in my soul. I love you

The pain is just as bad today as it was that horrible day that you left us. Always in my heart, never out of my mind. Love you Dad.

October 22, 2009

Hey Pup,
I knew this thing existed but I never wanted to write anything because I was in shock after losing you so suddenly.
Here we are almost seven years later and im still learning how to deal with it. I just want you to know that I would give anything to be able to spend one minute with you again.You have visited me in my dreams and it is so real that when i wake up Im pissed cause i would rather be back sleeping so i could spend more time with you. I wish i could be sitting in your suite just me and you on the cruise again so you could have me count your money just to make sure you were up Money from the night before at casino. Oh And what i would do to hear you say " Michael ya know that chocolate cake i love at the buffet? can you go get me a piece? and i would go and bring you the whole cake so we could eat it togeather. I miss all of that. I find myself talking about you almost every day to all my friends. I tell the same stories over and over about you to my girlfriend Kristin, who you never got to meet.if you did meet her you'd say to me " that's My Grandson" with a Wink or "your just like me" because she's a Beautiful blonde. Oh and another thing I wanted to tell you was that everywhere I go I tell people about you. Everytime I say your name the Person Knows you or of you. I was out to Dinner this past saturday night and my friend knew the owner of the restaurant and dominics got brought up. The first thing the owner did was jump up spin his chair around the way you use to sit and was pretending to be you. I was laughing i SAID YUP THATS MY Grandfather. But Anyways... Maybe Ill write more when it comes to mind.

Watch over us pup.
I love and miss you!
-Michael

Love,

Took Robert to your grave the other day, wanted to leave you a pumpkin, he was asking a million questions about you, I forget he didnt know you like the girls luckily did. I filled him in on everything, made it so he can even vision your face. As we were leaving he said, I do remember running into papas belly and bouncing off, You used to laugh so hard about that. I love you and I miss you. K.

Hi Uncle just wanted to tell you that I miss and love you so much. I think about you, my mother and nana so much these days and wonder what it would be like to have you all here with us. Not a day goes by that the family doesn't think of all of you together up in heaven; I'm wondering how you are all fairing with Nana up there aggravating you all.....lol...She was the best even though she loved to drive us all crazy.

Kisses are sent up to all of you and I know that I will see you all in my dreams.....

Hi Uncle,

Well you know what today is; 15 years since your beautiful sister Snooky was taken from us. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that you are up there with her. Please give her your big bear hug from her children and tell her we miss her and there isn't a day we don't think of her and the love she had for all of us.

I love you all and I hope that Nana isn't driving you all crazy....I miss her too and still can remember the faces she made when she didn't like something.

See you all in my dreams.

Hi Uncle,
Sorry that I have not been writing to you lately, but it has been a very busy year. I want you to know that you are always in my thoughts. There are times when I am doing something and it will remind me of you and I just start laughing out loud. Your little girl Maria is going great. She is at UMass - Boston and Tracy is keeping an eye on her. Joey is doing great too. They both miss you and Nana and Mom. Give them a great big KISS for us and Papa too. I know that you are all watching us from up above. Until next time.

Hi Uncle it's me Angela and I know I'm on your bad list lately since I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday. I did remember that day because I was telling Debbie and Richie that today (May 26th) was your birthday but I forgot to send you my love and kisses through this wonderful website.

There is never a day that I don't think of you with a smile on my face. I actually found some of my mom's recordings from her old answering machine and when I played it back I found several messages from you to her and me. I had to laugh because anyone who knew you knew that you loved to aggravate me by leaving messages (disguising your voice)of some guy I might have met at the Roxy. I always knew it was you and laughed my head off thinking how crazy you were. Your love for your family was unmeasureable and I hope you know how much you are missed and loved.
Give my mother a kiss for me and tell her I love her too.

Love,

Angela

A fathers love is a quiet thing.
Like the fall of footsteps on green grass. And the sound of hope in the human heart. You will find it in his eyes and in his hands, for these are the instruments of a mans's soul. With tenderness and consistancy it nurtures, guides, comforts and above all instills the trust that gives a child a reason to believe in this world.

Your Auntie Rosie died this morning....Rocco and Madeline and I were with her at 1:45 a.m. when she passed peacefully in her bed at home. You know how much she loved you...how much they both loved you. Dad has been in the hospital since Friday night with heart failure. We had to go to the hospital this morning to tell him that mom passes, and of course he took it horribly. We are having a very difficult time....send us any help you can....and I hope you were there to welcome my mother when she arrived...love and kisses...cousin Marie Elena

Hello Uncle as you might know today is the 14 anniversary of my mother's death. Please give her a great big hug and kiss for me and tell her that there isn't a day I don't think of her and that beautiful smile of hers. It seems just like yesterday that you were all here with the family (you, my mother and nana) but we all have wonderful memories to substain us until we all meet again. Let my mother know her children will be thinking of her today not with sadness but with beautiful memories of the person she truly was. She was the best mother any child could ever ask for and I hope that one day I can be half the woman she truly was.

I love you and will see you all in my dreams.

The family is not the same without all of you but at least we all have the wonderful memories of what was and for now that will have to substain us until we all meet again. Please give my mother that great big hug of yours and tell her for me that she was the very best mother any girl could ever ever wish for. I love you all and miss every one of you so very much but until we met again know that you are remembered with a smile and a tear.

Hi Uncle, I left you a message on the 24th of August however realized that it never went through. Well anyway I know that you know why I left the message, it was my mother's birthday and who else would I want to sing to her on that special day. I always remembered your phone calls to her where you would sing UNFORGETTABLE, that was your song to your only sister. I know that you know she loved you so much. She always bragged about her brothers and how much she loved you guys. I miss her so much that there are days that my heart actually aches. I can't believe you are all gone; the family isn't the same with out you all. I know we have the memories but I'm selfish and I want you guys all back, if only for one day. Anyway please give my mother a great big hug and kiss and tell her that her family misses her and wishes her the best birthday ever. Also, tell nana thanks for giving us our mother to love even if it was for a short time.



We miss you all and love you guys so very much.

Dominic, I read in the Herald this week that the restaurant was closing. It was a sad day for me, as I'm sure it was for many others. I used to walk by the front door and pictured you there, sitting backwards on the chair, saying hello to everyone that walked by. I remember many nights in there with friends, listening to music and even getting up on stage to sing for what I liked to call "Scary-okee" night. I'm going to miss your family Stacey, Tracey and Domi Jr. and the people that worked there Karen, Jimmy, Debbie et al. it's an end of an era. I'll miss you all. Like I said before Dominic you may have had a tilted halo, but you were the angel of Tremont St. God bless you my friend and your family too.

when i finally made it over the broadway bridge, there was a man sitting in a chair with his hand out to me. i took his hand and held it tight not knowing what an impact he would make in my life. the few years we spent together will be cherished in my heart forever. it is not every day you meet a man like this. when i think back now, boy was i blessed. thank you god for sending him to me. i wonder how different my life would be. i hope in your pocket you found my coin. save it for us for the day we are joined. i think this week will be the hardest since you left --you, your family, tremont street, and dominic's i will never forget. thanks for being my friend. love you always.

Happy Birthday Uncle, I can't believe it is another birtday without you. I remember when your kids threw you that big party at the Roxy and how thrilled you were that all your family and friends turned out to wish you the very best. I still can remember you sitting in your King's chair laughing and smiling (that was your day) and how happy you looked. I hope my mother and nana sang to you and you celebrated with the angels. I miss and think of you every day. Give my mother a great big hug and kiss for me and tell her that I love and miss her so much.



Love,



Angela

Hi Uncle,



Today is Mother's Day as you already know and I miss my mother so much. Please give her your great big hug and a kiss for me. Tell her I think of her everyday and that I love her and miss her. Give Nana the same hug and kiss too and tell her thanks for giving me, Debbie, Richie and Donna such a wonderful mother to love. We all miss you so much and the family isn't the same without all of you. I guess we are so lucky to have all of you as our personal angels now and forever. Talk to you soon.

Merry Christmas dad. It just isnt the same without you. I was out running to sams hocky game yesterday and got into my truck and there it was, your smell. the smell of jovan just out of nowhere. I knew you were wishing me a merry christmas and letting me know you were still around me. I appreciated it so much. You would have loved seeing robert come down the stairs and see what santa brought him. he was so excited. being 4 years old is fun. the girls are getting so big, Amanda and Taylor are both working at dominics just like I did when i was their age. Amanda got her first semester grades she has a 3.4 GPA. on her way to becoming a lawyer. Who would have thought. Sam is playing hockey for latin academy, Varsity in the 7th grade as a goalie is unheard of. she is doing great and wearing the helmet you bought her right before you left us. Blue with lightening bolts, you can spot her a mile away. I love you dad Merry Christmas.

Hi Uncle,



Your children had a mass for you on Sunday and it was beautiful. I can't believe you have been gone for 3 years but there is never a day that goes by that I don't think of you, nana, papa and my mother. The only thing that makes me happy and smile is knowing that you are with them singing with that beautiful voice of yours. Give my mother a great big hug and kiss, tell her that I always think of her and can see her beautiful smile in my dreams. I love you all and miss you so much.



Love,



Angela

Hi Uncle,

I can not believe that you have been gone but not forgotten for three years. Boy do I miss you. There are times that I sit in a room that is dark and I start talking to you,nana,papa and my mom. I just wish that you all where still here with us. Life is so hard down here. Someone once told me that it gets easier as the years go on, but it doesn't. It is harder. Please guide us along this journey. Keep all of us safe. Until next time. Tracy,Kelly and Dom Keep the faith guys that is all we can do. I love you all.

Love,

Hi Uncle, I'm so sorry that I haven't written in awhile but things were really crazy however you are never far from my mind. I think of you, my mother and nana everyday and try to smile especially when I think of the good memories. I can't believe that Thanksgiving is around the corner and you are not here with us. I remember all the times you took us out for dinner on that day and especially the Thanksgiving when you had Nana cooking all the food when you lived in Malden. You did drive her crazy but in such a good, loving way. I can still hear you telling us all your stories and what stories they were. I miss you Uncle and love you very much. Please give my mother and nana a great big hug and kiss for me and tell them I love them too.

Love,



Angela

I know your here, I just need to be able to feel you around me. Please send me some sign about what to do. I love you and I miss you.

As you know today is my mother's birthday and I want you to do me a big favor. Please give her a great big hug and kiss for me, tell her how much I miss and love her and will always hold a special place in my heart for her.

Let her know that we are celebrating her birthday and thinking of her.



I miss you all, the family isn't the same with out you guys. Hugs and kisses forever.
