Joey,
It has been a little over 4 years since you have been gone. Ben and I miss you every day. We still think of you when the Enya song comes on the radio. We have come to think it plays when you are there to help us through our tough times. Now, as we begin to raise our new baby girl, Isabella, we hope you will continue to watch over us as a family. To us, you are now her guardian angel. We will share the memories of you with Isabella so she will know who you are. We miss and love you.
Love,
Melanie, Ben and Isabella Ricupero

Although I do not know you, I was curious when I saw another Lorusso(different spelling) on the Legacy.com webpage. I was shocked and saddened to read about your son. My son, Anthony, age 16, is the other Lorusso on the webpage. My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your son, and know that I will pray for your son, each and every day. I know what you went through, and I hope you are doing ok. Although it has been only 3 weeks since my Anthony died, it feels like a lifetime ago. God Bless you and your family.

It is important to remember that Joey was the victim of a crime, not an accident. He died after lying in a coma for 74 days as the result of an impaired driving crash. The responsible driver is an alleged drunk driver. This crime committed on Christmas night resulted in death for the son of our friends and classmates, Joe and Dianne LoRusso. Their entire family is devastated as are we, their friends and neighbors.
In Joey's memory we have established the Joey LoRusso Memorial Foundation to provide scholarships in Joey's memory. You may support this effort by mailing your check to the:
Joey LoRusso Memorial Foundation
P. O. Box 1144
Saugus, MA 01906
We are asking that each of us reach into his and her heart and take whatever action you deem appropriate. Writing as the father of a 15 year old daughter, I cannot begin to imagine the feeling of helplessness knowing that your child, a 15 year old, passed away and they could do nothing more.
Please share this opportunity to help keep Joey's name alive with everyone you know.
We've said many times during the past fifteen months, while our Everett High School Class of 1962 40th Reunion effort has been growing, that we are becoming an extended family and I'm truly proud to be a part of it. Catholics, Protestants and Jews, black and white, Italian, Irish, French, English and other ethnic backgrounds - - - - becoming one family from Everett reaching out to Dianne and Joe!
Please help to whatever extent you are able and keep the LoRusso family in your prayers. May you and yours never, ever, ever know their tragedy. We were not meant to bury our children.
With gratitude from Dianne, Joe and family,
David Cohen

Joey - I am finally here to sign this guest book - I have been struggling with this since the day of your funeral Mass. The amount of people was just another sign of how many hearts you touched.
When you were in my CCD class last year - you lit up the room. You added spice to the class - you made my first year teach 8th gr. CCD very memorable. I can still see you sitting there next to Krista - and the day you showed me the Christmas present you bought her - "Krista" written out in a gold pendant. You were beaming! You will always be in the thoughts and prayers Joe.
Joe and Dianne - my heartfelt sympathy to both of you - I offer to you the only thing I feel can help you - I offer up my daily prayers to you - I can only begin to image how heavey your hearts are.
And to you Mary - although I never met you - Joes spoke of you in our CCD class - like the time you called him from Curry Colledge and sang Happy Birthday to him. He lit up like a candle when he told me the story. Sounds like you were a great big sister - and I will certainly keep you in my prayers.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. LoRusso, MaryEllen, and Family,
I am a co-worker and friend of Jennifer Ricupero's and feel that over the last few months I have come to know Joey through Jennifer's eyes and heart with each story she has told about him. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your tragic loss.
The grief of sudden tragedy...is poignant as can be...And all that I can offer you is friendly sympathy...But my condolence really comes directly from the heart...Because I know how sad it is when loved ones have to part. I know you will be lonely as the days and nights go by...And there will be a thousand tears...that you will want to cry...And yet we must remember that...There is a will divine...And we may never question it...Or fathom God's design...And so I grieve with you today...And say a fervent prayer...That God will bless and always keep...Your loved one in His care.
(James J. Metcalfe)
Those we love must someday pass beyound our present sight...
Must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle, their lovely light will shine to brighten up another place more perfect...more divine. And in the realm of Heaven, where they shine so warm and bright, our loved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light.
If only warm thoughts and gentle words could be sewn together, I would gather all I could find and create a quilt of comfort that would keep you from sorrow's cold. Please know that caring thoughts and prayers are with you now during this sad and difficult time. Take care and God Bless...

My beautiful brother,
The day you were born was the greatest day of my life. To finally after years of waiting to be a sister all of my dreams came true that saturday in September! Then you got older and I just could not separat you from my hip! Sometimes I found it annoying but then dad told me how much it ment to you to be with me and my friends. So you were the first younger sibbling member of the Indian Valley Crew. But then others like Jeff driscol Mike Grana, Mike Heath, the miller boyz and your best friend Peter Bertoli came around.Finally you were at that age where you just did not need me 24-7 I would never admit it but I missed it at times.Then addolecents hit you like a ton of bricks! That pudgey boy with glasses had evolved into this beautiful teen!Well at least the teen years were generouse to someone in the family! You were my best friend we did everything together! From Haning out. Long talks all night. Advice about girls- or should I say Krista.And the way you used to wake me up in the morning by making blacky jump on me as you laughed! My sweet angel. I will NEVER let your memory die! I am going to try to join a SADD. So I can spred Alchol awarness to as many people as possible.I promis to take good care of mom dad & and blacky.by they way Tuesday is Saint Joseph's day so please give daddy a sign for me. Don't worry about me. Peter, Brian, Stephano,Alena Anthony and Krista said they will take care of me for you. I love you always and remember " Just call my name and I'LL BE THERE!"

Joey my cousin,
I am so happy that I got the chance to know you and love you. From the first time we met we were instant buddies. I've enjoyed every moment with you. Thank you for loving me back. I will miss you and think of you every single day. I remember when Ben and I told you we were Engaged, oh so happy you were. You couldn't wait to make the trip to NY and you told me how excited you were that we would be officially cousins, even though we have been for years. You also looked down at my ring and said, "WOW WHAT A ROCK". Oh Joey we know you will be watching over us on our wedding day and everyday. I also promise to you that I will take care of your cousin Ben for always.
love, Melanie
Auntie, Uncle Joe and Mary Ellen,
I am so sorry that you have to be going through this time right now. I am also honored to be becoming part of such a loving family. I love you all very much and will never ever forget my little buddy Joey.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

God Bless and we love you very much.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. LoRusso and Maryellen,
I cannot imagine how you must feel but am so very glad that my Dad, David, could be there to help you in these days of tragedy. He has told me what happened and as you may know, I'm fifteen, too. Joey and I would probably have become friends from everything I've heard about him. I feel terribly sad that now that can never happen. May God bless you and comfort you.
