well my lil brother....it's been a year now, but feels as if it was just yesterday that you left.
I really miss your presence this time of year.... I would have my break from college, and we would go downtown, Christmas shopping for the family and stopping for beers along the way. We had so many laughs together as we people watched.
I know that your friend Will was thinking of you, for he dropped me a line the other day.
I will miss having this place to write to you......I know you are my little angel watching over me, but I will miss you just the same, I will be thinking of you every day and carry your memory in my heart forever. I love you my lil brother.
Your lil sister

Ed It is really hard to believe that it has been one year ago that your body left us but your spirit lives on forever in the hearts and minds of the people your presence touched. I will love and think of you always until I am reunited with you, Mom, George, and Nana. I always viewed you as more than my brother you were the other half of my heart and soul. Life without you is unbareably painful and empty. I love you always my friend

I thank you for making the impact that you did on mine and Lori's life. You fullfilled it in ways that no other family member could. I hope you enjoyed your service this summer in P-Town, although it was not what you exspected, it was out of our hand to make it the elegant exstravaganza you so well deservied. Can't wait to see you my lil brother.
P.S. MiMi had such a great time meeting your town and your friends, she also learned how to swim for the first time.
Love you and miss your spirit.
Love Rick and Lori

I had no idea of Ryan Michael's passing until today and I am saddened. No matter what the circumstance, Ryan Michael was a person who loved life and most importantly, loved people. I will alway remember him prancing down Commercial Street, all painted up or dressed up, strutting his stuff, being himself! He's forever etched in my memories of Provincetown!

My best friend
I miss you daily and think of you often. People tell me i should move on and stop greiving over the lose of you but i don't know how to let go of someone who's hand i have always held who's opinion i trusted and who's pain I feel everytime i remember the day you left this earth. I know someday i will meet you again but i cannot help but wish that you were still here with us. life is not the same without your spark and light shining its glow all around us. i love and miss you and hope you are proud of the wishes of yours that i tried to carry out in Provincetown this summer. Your friends miss and loved you deeply and also think of you daily. i just hope that you are there with mom and nana sipping on some cocktails for me, laurie and Frankie. i love you to the depths of my soul forever your sitta MaryJo

I wanted to be there so much for Eddy's memorial service but was unable to attend. Finally a chance to say how sorry and sad I was to hear of his passing.
I had lost touch with Eddy after highschool, but have great memories (& Pictures) from Junior Prom night, a party that was at my home back in the day, school dances and Eddy being a great E.O. Smith Mascot, The Panther!
Take care my friend and know you are not forgotten.
Love, Rachel

My favorite sista,
A day does not pass that I don't think about you and your shinning personality. You have touched the lives, in such a positive way, of every person you ever met. I thank god for giving me the years we had together....for all the great times we had, I will cherish those memories till the day we meet again and create more memories.
Say hi to my mom and keep her close to your side....she always loved to laugh, and I know you will keep her smiling till I get there...tell her I love her. Ask her if she can get me to remember how to make her boiled frosting some how, cause I tried and it's just not the same as when she made it!
I know I have said this before, but thank you for all your support through all those years of college....I finally made it.
I love you soooo much.
Your sista Lori

To the first man I met in Provincetown: you were truly the most amazingly caring man I have met in my life, you knew no boundries and had a heart as big as the world. Your loss is felt by anyone whose life you touched. You will always be in my heart and thoughts. You said it best when you told me that "friends are the family we choose for ourselves" well, you are my family and always will be! hehehehehehehehe!
