Hi Glenn,
When I saw the rain for your golf tournament, I knew it would rain for Meg's walk-a-thon. She would never let you live it down if she had a sunny day and you didn't. I'm sure you must have discovered by now that Meg is very competitive. So how about next year the 2 of you get together and see if you can't do better with the weather, because after all, it's easier for you guys to walk in the rain than it is for us. Keep that in mind. Love you both, see you Sat.

Never been the same without you.

Junior,

34 months ago today you left us. You will never be forgotten, no matter what. The tournament was a great time, the rain never bothered any of us. We were all there for the right reasons.

Here we are 34 months later and this book is still as strong as ever. Your legacy will live on no matter what!

The people that mean the most will insure that it does. You are so missed here, 34 months later.

I hope you are keeping an eye on Grandma. She is undoubtedly catching up with Grandpa, keeping him right in line.

Love,
Uncle Mark

Thanks for the GCATJR Tourney #2...a little rain did not stop our crew! Golf, food, fun and laughs - what else can you ask for?
Glenn was with us, I could feel him all around!

May 10, 2008

GCAT-
The tournament was a blast. It was great to see everyone. What a turn out this year!
M&M were missed!

You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend.

Missing a friend like you...!
XOXO

Thanks for yesterday - you really came through.

Good Morning Brother of mine...

I feel your presence and envision your "shaking head" motion, amongst other verbiage.

A few things to note - you are and will always be an amazing Father, Son, Brother, Nephew and Friend. Every single day I am reminded of what a remarkable person you are by an amazing memory, an old aquaintance or a forever, "fan" of yours.

The present quandary will too pass. It is a basic posture of control. Positive thoughts will outweigh the negative factors as you well know.

On a lighter note - The Red Sox came through for us and will sponsor our Golf Tourney with a Memorial Item for raffle! We knew THEY would not let us down! You, Dad and Uncle JA are three of their greatest fans! :)

I am excited for our day to play a tribute to you Loo - you certainly deserve a simple day of "remembrance". I promise you a lot of laughs and memories will be shared and maybe even some impressive golf scores!

Love you and miss you more today than yesterday.

In closing - might I add that Dad was "RIGHT ON" with his predictions.
Sort of weird eh?

Keep the faith!

Hi Glenn,
Happy Easter. Hope you and your family can combine with Meg and her family to celebrate together. Both sets of Grandparents are lucky to have you both up there celebrating with them. Hope it's a joyful day for all of you, but know how much we miss you here. Love to you all......Carolyn

Happy Easter Glennis!

Missing you as always and simply going through the motions of another holiday.

Sam said the other day, "It is Ok, Uncle Glenn will fix it..." I almost fell of my chair! I thought, sheesh - if you make the cocoa crispies appear right now (that we just ran out of) I will be truly amazed. Like I always say - if anyone could do that, it would be you!

I know you are around, not to worry. I sense your presence. :)

Enjoy your Easter bread!
Keeping the faith...
Mind over matter!
LYAMYP!
Hugs an air kisses!

p.s. - "Summer Breeze..makes me feel fine" - just came on the radio...

March 14, 2008

Loo,

It is only right that you visit Dad on his Birthday! I know that you will send him some sort of token sign to let him know that you are close! He could surely use a laugh or two right now.

I feel your uneasiness and know that you would set all of this straight if you were physically here. Remember that the power of thought is JUST as strong!

This too shall pass Loo, not to worry.
Just another step, another obstacle, another challenge - something else to get by. In overall comparison - this is nothing. It will be resolved in due time. Promise you that.

I miss you with every fiber of my being and will have only one wish until the end of time...

Rest Easy,
Hugs and Air Kisses!
XOXOXO

Good morning Glenn,
Happy Valentine's Day. I'm sure Meg has given you an earful about why she never liked this 'girlie' holiday, but I'm also sure the two of you will be lifting a few in celebration. Please give her a big hug from her Mom and Dad and hugs for you as well. You two are so loved and missed. Enjoy the day!
With love to you both,
Carolyn

Things that remind me of you:

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won...

Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia...to see the total eclipse of the sun...

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again...

Forgetting all I am lacking, completely incomplete.
I am running and not quite sure where to go, living for the only thing I know…

I Hope this gets better as we go…
I'm here without you, but you are forever on my lonely mind.

So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why?
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do- So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you??

Ahh The good ol's days Loo- Loo.
How I miss you!
-Peace (-<)

January 31, 2008

Hi Glenn,
It's 8 months today that I lost my Meagan. My heart is broken and I'm so lost without her. Please give her a huge hug and kiss from me. I need to believe that you both are having fun in your new lives. Send some signs and hold us all close. You two are loved by your families more than you could ever know.
With love,
Carolyn

I miss your guidance Glennis! These are the times a girl needs her "big bro."

The condolences still stream in. It is funny how you can come across someone you have not talked to in 14 years and the first thing they say is how AWESOME you were and how you are so incredibly missed. They always close with a funny story or share a memory.

I’ll say it again, it is amazing how you touched so many people’s lives. So many people love you so very much.

The senselessness is mind boggling.
Thinking of you always and missing you just as much.

The Eagle has landed...

All I can say is wow, you are so painfully missed. More than yesterday, but less than tomorrow.

I just know we will never, ever bounce back from this. How can we?

It takes everything some days to put on a happy face. Gosh, how the world would be so much better if you were in it.

It seems that this is still a bad dream and makes ZERO sense - keeping the faith is quite a challenge.

Help us to rationalize if you can?

Hugs and air kisses (while stepping on your toes).

For a moment, all the world was right...How could I have known, that you'd ever say goodbye? And now, I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives, are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain... But WE WOULD HAVE HAD to miss the dance!

Tomorrow is going to be a tough one Glennish.... Stick by us! I know how much you liked your clothes touched-haha:)
Love YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Sis 2

Do you like my name over on the right side?? I think it's funny:)

I love you, a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck! ~ :-) XXX OOO!

December 31, 2007

Don't laugh Loo...I am again being examined for, "content"(again).

"Chewing on a piece of grass" did not seem to fly???

We know what it means to all of us!

Heading into 2008 and wishing you were with us(as always).

I miss you Loo, so very much.
Happy New Year in Heaven.
Thinking of you ALWAYS!
Love you.

December 29, 2007

Hi Glenn,
Call me crazy, but I am sure you and Meagan joined us the night Shannon and I discovered the Mojohito. We had so much fun and such a strong feeling that the two of you were there with us. Meagan, I could almost hear your giggle when the coconut fell off the tree right near Shannon's head, and the rooster at 3 am every morning!!!! Yup, I think it was the 2 of you, and we enjoyed every minute of it. Sorry Glenn, I think from now on you are going to be blamed as Meagan's partner in crime. And we couldn't wish for anything better for you both, take care of one another and visit the Dammers and the Catanias often. You are always welcome.
Love to you both,
Carolyn

Hi Glenn,
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas in Heaven. It must be a wonderful celebration there!! Harry, Shannon and I are going to Florida for Christmas. I hope you and Meagan get to stop by and visit with us on the beach. I know Meagan will be there, she can sniff out a margarita a world away! Love and hugs for both of you...Carolyn

December 16, 2007

Well, heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul...

Another Christmas is coming upon us. They will never be what they used to be. We will do what we can to simply get through.

Missing you so much.
Send a sign.

December 16, 2007

Hi Glenn,
I saw your Dad at the school the other day. He looks great, but he misses you so, as I do Meg. You two have to think up some way to let us know you are together and ok. That's all any of us really wants for Christmas. See what the two of you can come up with. Love to you both...
Carolyn

A big fan of yours....

December 6, 2007

But this is Christmas yes, Christmas my dear...
The time of year to be with the ones you love...
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam,
Christmas and new Years will find you home....
There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain,
And we'll be happy, happy once again....

Happy Birthday JR. It's been a while since I been here and I apologize for that but I think of you daily. You are greatly missed by all and we wish you were here with you're smile and great sense of humor and personality.
Your Sox did real well and the Patriot's are doing well as you can see the best team in Football so far this year.
Take care of your grandmother and everyone up there and watch over your parents and sisters as you have always done as a great son and brother and god child. You may not be here with us but you are in our thoughts daily and your girls are real cute.

Happy Birthday Loo!

Oh, what a party this would have been...(on a Friday to boot!)!

Today, I will celebrate you and the fact that I was so lucky to have had you here with me for almost 38 years.

Although there is so much sadness and pain - there will be no tears today. I know that you would want us all to put a smile on our faces and send you a "cheers" up above.

I will do just that!

Thinking of you always Loo.

Happy Birthday in Heaven - Brother of mine. I love you very much.

Love you!

PS. I posted this a day early on purpose so I could beat Sis in saying Happy Birthday:) hehe!

November 29, 2007

Hi Glenn,
Happy Birthday, the big 40!!! I know your Grandmother is there to help plan something, but I have to tell you that birthdays are Meagan's specialty! So be forewarned!!
I don't know what your Grandmother might bake, but I am sure Meg will have some of her famous cupcakes, short on cake, but HUGE on icing. Or maybe her equally famous Tiramasui cake (with so much liquor it should be illegal!) I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Harry and I keep your parents in our thoughts and prayers. That's about all we can do until we are all together again in heaven. What a reunion that will be!! Until then, you and Meagan take care of each other and the Dammers and Catanias will do the same down here. Have a wonderful birthday!!!
With love,
Carolyn

November 29, 2007

On the eve of your 40th Birthday...

I just want to say that you are one of the most incredible men ever created. One could only hope to be so lucky as to have had you included in their life. You are so incredibly caring, generous, supportive and loyal.

You live on within all of us. Your memory will forever flourish and your spirit lives on like a brightly burning candle whose flame will never, ever relinquish.

We love you and wish with every fiber of our being that we could spend this 40th Birthday with you.

We will keep the candle burning forever... our Friend, Brother, Nephew, Uncle, Daddy, Son.

So much love to you.

November 21, 2007

Hi Glenn,
I just wanted to wish you Happy Thanksgiving in Heaven. This is Meagan's first up there so maybe you could take her under your wing and show her the ropes. She always looked forward to going out with her friends after dinner on Thanksgiving, enough family already, so I'm sure she will be looking for you to join her. I hope you have a wonderful day.
With love,

Dear Glenn,
I wanted to let you know how sorry we are to hear about the passing of your Grandmother. It is so hard to let go of those we love. I am sure your family's loss is your gain and you must be enjoying having your Grandmother there with you. I know that together you and she will help your family deal with her passing. Love to all of you,

Carolyn Dammers

October 12, 2007

Hi Glenn,
I see your Dad already warned you about Meagan's Birthday. She is big on celebrating birthdays, her own and everyone elses. Please give her a big birthday hug from me.I'm sure she is bringing you along to her party tonight so you two can celebrate with her family and friends. Try to let us know when you get there!!!
Love to you both,

Hi Glenn,
I just wanted to let you konw that today is Meagan's wedding anniversary. I have such a strong feeling that the two of you are together that I wanted to ask you to give her a huge anniversary hug from me. Knowing my Meggie, I am sure that by now you have heard the dirt on all her friends and met them all. What an amazing, lovable, colorful crew they are!!. They were her family and have now become ours. Have a toast in heaven!!

I just opened an old card that read, "Sis - who will make my coffee in the a.m.? Congrats G.C."

This was the time I moved out of Hiltop into Canton...ahhh - the time I spent living with you and Kelly at the Hiltop townhouse... those were the best of times my friend! What I would not give to have them back.

Seeing your writing really hit a cord - excellent penmanship and grammar always.

Your clubs are here with me once again in my new office. They will always be with me.

When exactly is it that time heals?
Not seeing it...

I can sense you around here today.
Join me on my run...

To the Catania Family,
Our thoughts and prayers were with you on Sept.2. What a beautiful day for a wedding. Our angels came through and I have a feeling Glenn and Meagan had a great time at the wedding. Meg was very social and would never miss a party, even if she had to crash one!!!! I think quite possibly they were dancing togehter that day in heaven. Congratulations to All!!!!
Love, Carolyn

Ohhhhhhhh Glennis...

Did you feel your company at your corner Friday night;) We spent a good amount of time talking about you, and how much you are missed-we decided it was a good night for a visit!
Yesterday was my shower! Sis did SUCH a good job organizing everything! I know you were laughing when Dad said she was an "LD matron of honor" haha!
Everyone was saying how BEAUTIFUL Moe and Maddie are!!! Madison was trying to see if she could give her mother, grandmother, and aunts a heart attack by going right up to the edge of the pond like she was going to jump in!
When it was time to cut my cake, Sis asked me to make a wish.. So her and I wished that we could all be together again...and until it happens that will be the only thing I ever "wish" for!
Love you Glennis, and miss you as always.

Loo,

As I said to Mom this morning...you have this knack of making people always feel overly special, like a million bucks!

That said...knowing how much this book has helped our family as well as others - I know that you would want the book to remain. Glad that we could "all"(All= so many wonderful people have contacted Dad)come together to profess our feelings to show that the legacy book still holds endless meaning and supports so many. It is amazing how you still find ways to comfort all of us.

The sadness, emptiness and devastation continues as it always will - we know it will never go away. We are grateful for things like this book that can act like one of your big bear hugs when we are really in need.

There is not a minute that goes by that I do not think about you.

You are so missed and so loved.

-Sis 1

I feel that I know you so well after meeting your parents yesterday and reading the entries in this book. You have so many people who love and miss you. Please watch out for my Meagan. She is a wonderful person, full of fun. She has a smile that lights up a room and an infectious laugh. You two could have so much fun together. I am going to ask both of you to find some way to let us know if you are together. Showering both of you with love!

Loo,

I tried to send this last night - but to no avail...

Dad and I pranced the floors waiting for that awful time of the evening to pass...

You are so missed Loo. I met Kelly and the kids at your corner this morning. It was so sad, we are so sad.

I know you miss us as much as we do you.

Watch over us Loo, no matter how much time passes - you are forever on our minds and in our hearts -

Love you forever, it is certainly not any easier Loo.

Peace!

Two hours shy of the dreaded hour...Dad and I are here- Reminiscing...God, has it really been two years? The pain is not any less and we miss you even more!
Please visit more often the lag time is excruciating.

We are waiting for Sis 2 to come home...she went out for a bit to escape the haunting memories...
I am waiting for her, but thinking that normally - you would sit here with me waiting too, if you were here. We would bust her "tush" about being out at this time of night... ugh, I miss you so terribly.

Zeus and I will run to you in the morning for our, "Head to head" - talk to me goose, I miss you...you were my voice of reason. I am so lost without you. I will continue to spin my wheels until it all makes sense.

There is no sense Loo without you, truly - I see no sense in this.

Missing you and wishing I was with you two years ago to keep you with all of us.

Love you more than you will ever know...

-Your Sis 1 and Dad too!

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

Reminiscing about our historical 3 day weekends and infamous BBQ's! I then recalled the one Mem/Day that Mike and I missed when we were in NC...the "KOBE" burgers...how they met their demise...I still laugh. God, could you make me laugh. I miss you more than ever and certainly not any less.

A dream is a wish your heart makes...when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches; Whatever you wish for you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.

Wishing you back every day...

Dropping in to say hello...

Dad told me something HILLARIOUS the other day, and I wanted SO bad to call you so I could hear you bust out laughing....

Through this whole wedding planning process you are constantly on my mind. It kills me every day knowing that you won't be there to share this special day. I'm trying to figure out a way to "honor" you, pictures, a song, something... Some way to show you how much you are missed and how badly I wish you could be there...

I miss your face Glennish...

Glennie,

Pops just checkin in'... I could hear you laughing at the CF at GHS.

Sis 1 has some tainted philosophy for you on evolution. I can see the glare where your eyes get as big as half dollars and the sparkle gets brighter. :)

Missing you as much today as 20 months go. Nothing changes here daily, other than we get a day closer, to being all together (again) as a family. That's how we move on.

Until that day, know how big the void is in our hearts. Our hearts ache but your great memories help us cope.

Our love to you,

Pops and The Mama

I can't smile without you...
I can't laugh and I can't sing...
I'm finding it hard to do anything!

Missing our non-stop laughing sessions. You know the ones where you would end it with a big,loud - "HAAAAAA" at the end with a piece of gum sticking out of the side of your mouth???

It's the laughter, we will remember...when we remember, the way we were...

Miss you terribly Loo.
Visit again soon!

To the Man who made everyone feel so special, so important, so wonderful...

You are so missed this second, this hour, this day, this week, this month, this year and ALWAYS.

Forever on our minds.
Until we meet again...
Stay perfect!

Roses are red...

Your favorite shirts are plaid...

Without you, this Valentine's day is so very sad!

Wishing you were here...

Isn't faith believing that all power can't be seen?

Missing you Loo...

Simply insane here as you well know. I hear you loud and clear.

Some words from a well known song that you and I liked:

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance...
For the break that will make it okay.

What I wouldn't give for that 2nd chance with you Loo, what I wouldn't give...

Missing you always!

Dear Glenn:

Nearly every day I drive by your ribbon on my way to work and am painfully reminded how much I miss you. Eighteen months is a pretty long time to most people, but to those who treasured you, eighteen months is but the tiniest ripple on a pond fed by continual tears. What I wouldn't give to hear your laugh, to have a voicemail from you, to see that wry smile on your face just one more time. Eighteen months should be long enough to deal with the fact that you're gone, to move on, to put away the memories of you like dusty souvenirs. But somehow, it's just not that easy. Anyone who was lucky enough to be taken under your wing knows that you are irreplaceable. I will always remember your wisdom, your kindness and your friendship and be truly grateful for the time I had it, though what I had -- what we all had -- wasn't even close to being long enough.

I miss you, sweet friend.

Fondly,
W.

Superbowl Sunday....

Hi Glennish... Are you watching the game from your "skybox?"

Today I'm taking care of Anton, since he tripped on the stairs and tore some ligaments.. I know you were waiting for me to bust out laughing...but, since he was ACTUALLY hurt, I held it in;)

Mom and Dad are celebrating 40 YEARS TOGETHER! Sis 1 gave Mom a purple heart hehe;) We are waiting for Sis to get her "shoebox" together, so she can come down and we can all go out to dinner, and celebrate!

As far as everything else goes Glennish... Don't worry about a thing... The "S squad" has your back! :)

Enjoy the game!

Love,
Sis2

GCAT, I haven't been here in a couple of weeks but wanted to check in and let you know I'm thinking about you, especially now. I'm getting married on Saturday here in West Hartford in a small ceremony so of course your wedding brings back the fondest of memories to me.
Its unfortunate that you never had a chance to meet Cindy and get to know each other but I'm sure, like others, you would have been one of her favorites.
Well I'm sure you'll be looking down and laughing at me "on stage" and getting hitched but remember you were there at one time with me right next to you thinking the same thing.
Miss you my friend.

Tonight as I took out the garbage (pulling the strings, tying the knot), I laughed thinking of how you would always say to me (with that disgusted look on your face), "Give me that..." like you would whenever you saw me bringing out any sort of garbage or carrying anything a tad too heavy...

While reminiscing, I continued on with my chore and took the garbage outside. Snow flurries were flying about and the smell of my neighbor’s fireplace brought back so many more memories...

Random times like these, doing the most basic daily tasks can hit you like a train. The feeling is comparable to being hit in the stomach with such force that you are left breathless and feeling so nauseas that you could projectile everywhere. It is so incredibly overwhelming! Almost unexplainable...

Just another example of how you are missed in whatever we do...

For all of the time we missed and all that we will miss...you are always on my mind and in my heart!

Miss you so much Glennis! The white cake and Coors light the other night was quite enteraining - Thanks!

Glennie,
Grampa Catania left us 25 years ago today. You were 14 years old. I'm sure you two are together, taking care of each other. I am hoping he still makes you laugh as much as he used to, when you would stay over. I know how you guys enjoyed playing that Frankie song over and over for him.

Tell him we all think of him every day. Like you, he touched so many lives. I can only imagine what's going on up there.
