Dear DeCristofaro family, please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your beautiful son Nick. I remember babysitting Nick and Allie when they were young. Nick was such a nice kid and always waived to me and my family when he drove by our house. I pray that God will help you through this terrible heartbreak. I know that Nick is in heaven watching over your family, especially his precious nephews. May Nick's memory be eternal. If you need anything at all please let us know.

Dear Uncle Bernie and Aunt Donna,
Our thoughts and prayers are will all of you. I am sorry that I can't make the trip out from Arizona.
Nicky was such a great kid and I loved him much. I am proud that you gave him "Scott" as a middle name and have always thought of him as more of a little brother. I feel fortunate that I was able to spend a couple evenings and dinners with him, Bernie and Pop over the last year and will cherish those memories forever.
I am sure Grandma is taking care of him in heaven and making him as much ziti as he wants.:)
Love always,
Scotty, Cindy, Ashley and Kelli Guilmette

Donna, Bernie, and Allie, we go way back, to when you shared your Baby bassinet when I had Jamie, and even used it for Jimmy, who knew they'd grow up and play ball on teams in Mt. Olive and Pope John. I spoke with Jimmy last night and he recalled not only was Nick fun, kind, but a really good guy. Our hearts are broken for you. Losing a child I'd our worst fear and nightmare. Please know we recall you're passion and devotion to your children. If you need to talk, I'll be there.
With much sympathy and love,
The Fiorello Family
