Not sure what to say?

To the Zendano family, I just wanted to reiterate how amazing asap was. I was a year behind Sal in High School and was not as popular as Sal. That didn´t matter, Sal was the coolest guy to everyone. Didn´t matter who you were, he acknowledged you for who you were. When you´re not the biggest, strongest, fastest or most popular he was always someone who was a friend. The earth has been a worse of place since your son or brother was taken. He just pooped in my head for some reason today and I looked it up on the internet and felt I needed to say something. Sorry for your loss and hope you are all well.

God Bless.

Vicki and Family,

Although we never met Sal personally, from all we have heard he was a very special, caring and loving son, brother and friend. Keep all of your memories close to your heart and know you have your own "Special Angel" keeping you safe and spreading Angel Dust over the ones most dear to him.

Love,
Gail & Mike Stockinger

It is hard to believe it has been 10 years.You were such a great friend all through High School. You will always be watching out for your friends and family, I can still see that smiling face.

Sal,
No matter how popular you were or how great an athlete you were....you always stopped to say hello to me and make sure I was ok, even though I wasn't popular or strong. And for that I will never forget you. You made a lasting impression. You were a great friend to my brother and I know he still thinks of you everyday. You are missed.

Barb,
We were good friends when you were Barbara Phillips and my husband and I came to your wedding. I am so sorry about your son, I had no idea he had passed. May God's grace help you through the years. You will see and hug him again one day.

Barbara and family,

While I never got the chance to meet your children, I was shocked to hear about your son. I often think of you and the fun times we shared. My prayers are with you.

Salvatore, Wow, It's hard to believe it's been ten years since I heard your voice, kissed your check or saw your smile. Every day I can feel you there, especially on the rough days. It's a good thing God has you to help him with all of us, I'm sure we're a pretty big JOB! LOL. My son knows his uncle Sal is protecting me and him. It makes it easier to sleep at night. Thanks for all of your signs, and thanks for always guiding me into the right direction. You have given me more strength than I knew I had. Please continue to do so, life seemed to have gotten alot harder in the last ten years. I will always wish you eternal peace and happiness, until I get up there! lol.I love you forever and miss you more than words can describe. Till we meet again my beloved brother.

Sal, ten years ago today our hearts were broken. I often still think about you, and your Mom, Dad, and sisters. You are loved and missed more than ever. Thank you, my dearest friend, for watching over me, and Matthew. Jeff
