I remember you in silence,and make no outward show for what it meant to lose you no one will ever know.

Your memories keep us smiling to help us ease the pain,but they don't erase the sorrow it will always be the same.

Thinking of you Anthony and shedding some tears
It's hard to believe today it's 6 years
Believing all things that I have been told
That you are so happy and never grow old
Your pain and your sorrow has passed in the night
Your doing all things and doing them right
Your place is a place where spirits abound
Others who passed you've easily found
Like Pop Pop and Grandpa and friends you hold dear
You live in a place where there is no fear
We're told you go over the things you have tried
The good ones the bad ones and times that you lied
You are allowed to return again and be again mortal
or stay where you are and peek through the portal
Please continue to leave signs that tell us it's true
These signs help us parents from being too blue
Can we believe -all that they say
We'll all know for sure on our passing day
But till then my Son when we shed a tear
We are just Mom,Dad and Matt wanting you near

Love and Missing You
Mom ,Dad and Matthew

So 5 years later and very fresh. It's crazy thinking back. We didn't have a care in the world. I am so grateful that we experienced all we did and created such great memories that will be with me forever. I will never forget our special bond. You are constantly on my mind and will forever be alive in my heart. We will always keep your memory alive. I can't wait to see the house for Christmas it always looks amazing. I must say pops is giving you a run for your money. I love to drive by in December at night to see the lights because it's such a great reminder of you. Well I love you and miss you....keep watching over us.. Your best bud for life.....Lin

Though we still grieve it is in different ways. quietly ,silently until a memory slips in to bring a smile or a laugh.Dad, Matt and I feel your presence daily as if # 66 magicily appears out of knowhere daily letting us know your are with us. We laugh each time it happens and it brings smiles back on our faces.The table # 66 in the restaurant on Mothers day was the best. Continue to watch over your brother who strives to be like you on the Ice and a loyal friend off the Ice. 5 years and missing you does not get easier , just easier to deal with. We miss your smile, and even your backtalk. what I wouldn't give to have another argument with you. But you were just like me ! Dads getting the Christmas lights up ( your legacy ) and as you wished they will be up and on by Dec 2. You and Matt Mandat can enjoy them from heaven as all of us will think of you each night when we turn them on

Loving and missing you

So another birthday without you...we went to see the family today, they all miss you but we just talk about all the funny memories...Matty is so big and smart..he's starting to look just like you, so much I found myself just staring it's kinda crazy. You'd be so proud of him he's such a great kid and has a great head on his shoulders...I have to believe you have something to do with it. He's on the high school hockey team and not even a freshman yet, he's just so amazing and i'm so glad he's here to carry on your dream as well as his. Well I miss you more then I could explain so I won't even try..I know you know!!!! Until we meet again take care of us and i'll do my best to keep my head up! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! XoXoXoXoXo

Another year has gone by and I don't even know where the time has gone. You are forever in my thoughts and mind. So much has happened, friends have come and gone, but family is forever. I miss you, we all miss you, but you already know that. When I sleep at night I pray to see you in my dreams. Keep looking out for us all, you still help me get through each day. We still need you. LONG LIVE THE FAMILY!
To Adel, Jeff, and Matty, I love you all. Remember that friends are here for you if you need.

its been 3 years and i still cant believe your gone. i still remember all the good times and inside jokes like "floating by" with mikey t, and getting stuck in the mud, the shooting stars and all the old camping trips that we used to take at markham park. i was luck enough to have my first kiss playing truth or dare with you. There are so many good memories that make me smile everyday, but it also breaks my heart to know that ill never see you smile again....only in my mind. life natural continues no matter what, and people change alot. you were the glue that held all of us together and since you've been gone our whole group sort of fell apart, i dont even talk to a lot of the people i used to see everyday. i dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, but for me ive realized that you have to hit rock bottom then come back up again to realize what you have in life, and how luck we all are to of even known you. you made my childhood awesome, even from the first day i moved to cooper city and the first thing you asked me was "if i bite or hit people" of course i looked at you like what are you talking about but i guess the other girl used to do that. all i know is from that moment on you changed my life in such a good way. im forever thankful for you. my mom and brother still love you also you'll never be forgotten in our family you were like a son to my mom, and a brother to jeff we all struggle to cope with your loss it doesnt get easier but were learning to celebrate your life instead of crying all the time. i got into an accident last year and at first i couldnt find your picture that i kept by my speedometer, needless to say i freaked out but the next day at the junk yard i found your picture on the driver side on the floor... my angel was there. :)it the same picture i had the day of your funeral (the last time i saw you) and its still in my new car now i cant seem to get ride of it, i means to much to me. i remember the last thing you said to me "i'll be right back" im still waiting but im gonna have to meet you instead one day....love you, corrina xxo

Well what can i say that hasn't already been?
Idle time is spent thinking of what was and what could have been.
I awake every morning thinking it was all a nightmare and you'll be strolling in the door! Then reality
sets in and I know the next time we meet it will be you waiting at the door for me to come home.

Anthony we'll never stop loving you and our hearts will never heal, the hurt will never stop hurting till we are again united.

Where ever you are I know it's a far better place then here.

Give PopPop, Grandpa, and Uncle Sonny a hug and kiss for me.

Love Always

November 15, 2006

Wow, 3 years have gone by and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. I find myself still looking at your pictures and crying like a baby! But I know that's not what you want. You want me to be strong. You want us all to be strong and celebrate you rather then feel sorry for ourselves. That's what were doing b/c I know if you could, you would smack me and tell me to smile cause things are better now. I hope you and Ant are having fun, you must be behaving b/c you don't have a choice, your w/ the boss!! It sounds kinda weird pretending that your going to read this but it's making me feel a hell of a lot better. I know your watching me and definitely protecting me. Me and Casey had a serious accident and I know we had our guardian angel's. The weirdest thing about that accident was after they were cleaning everything up, my brother walked over to the car whatever was left, and you know what he handed me that was on the seat, your picture that I had by my speedometer. It was so weird but that was just confirmation that once again you were looking out for your friends like always. Well I love you and will see you soon. To the Girello family, I wish I was down there so I could be w/ everyone. Be strong and no tears all smiles, thats what he wants. Hope everyone's good, I miss everyone a lot especially Matty, and I hope Aunt Gayle is doing good to. Talk to you soon! Love Lin

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Adel Girello

November 15, 2006

Three years of heartache and tears but you gave us a lifetime filled with happiness and pride.The hurt does not go away but it get's easier to deal with each and every day.When we remember all the happy times we had it makes us smile.And when we remember the hard times you had to deal with,we are proud of the way you handled it.You would be so proud of your brother he wears your number proudly.He seems to have taken to school a little better though and is always on the A honor roll. I cry tears on the inside but will always smile when I see your face.
Loving and Missing You .

Dear Anthony,

I can't believe i never knew about this site... i saw your mom this evening and she told me about it. it's been a while since i last saw your family since i'm away at school all the time now. i know you probably come to all my games and watch from up there to make sure i stay safe.... you always were my guardian angel and protector on the ice making sure no one hurt me. thank you for everything you ever did for me, you touched my life in ways no one else ever has and i will always remember that. you are always in my thoughts and i know you're always looking out for me. thanks for the pictures recently discovered!! you always had such a sense of humor and could make me laugh. it was a nice sign letting me know you're still lookin out. i miss you...

love always

Anthony this is the first time I wrote in this guest book,it's always has been hard for me to even show my emotions even after two years.It's been a really hard,hard year for me just being home and thinking about what happen and all the memories we had, and went together.And it really has taking a toll on me.Just today I just found out that Matt Boykens died Monday and nobody all week told me,and it hurt's so bad because I was not even able to go to the service to pay my respects.But I know now he's with you chillin and your uncle sonny is taking care of you.God bless you,and you will always be my best friend...

When it rains it pours and opens doors

And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry

And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love

That have to say goodbye



And as I float along this ocean

I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go



Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me

And you make everything alright

And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me

And I can always find my way when you are here



And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day

And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before

And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss

And pick you up in all of this when I sail away



And as I float along this ocean

I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave



Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead

Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly

But with you I can spread my wings

to see me over everything that life may send me

When I am hoping it won't pass me by



And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me

there you are to show me



Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me

And you make everything alright

And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me

And I can always find my way when you are here

WE ALL HURT, BUT A LITTLE LESS EACH DAY. WE ALL MISS HIM, A LITTLE MORE EACH DAY. WE ALL CAN STILL GRIEVE BUT AS LONG AS WE ALL KNOW THAT HE WOULD ONLY WANT US ALL TO GO ON WITH OUR LIVES AND "LIVE" JUST AS HE DID,TO THE FULLEST. ALL OF ANTHONY'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY MADE HIM WHAT HE WAS.KEEP HIS MEMORY IN WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY NOT WHAT MAKES YOU SAD.MEMORIES WILL LAST A LIFETIME AND REMEMBERING IS WHAT KEEPS YOUR MEMORIES FRESH.I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES A DAY I THINK OF ANT. AS A BABY, AS A BUILD IT FIX IT MAN. AS A BROTHER, AS A DRIVE ME CRAZY TEENAGER ! BUT I HAVE LEARNED ALL MY MEMORIES ARE WHAT MADE ANT THE PERSON HE WAS TO ALL OF US.AND WE ALL KNOW HE WAS STILL THAT PERSON UP TILL THE LAST BREATH OF HIS LIFE.THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS, SUPPORT,VISITS,GIFTS AND MOST OF ALL FOR JUST BEING ANTHONY'S TRUE FRIENDS.GO ON AND LIVE AND BE HAPPY.MAKE YOUR HAPPY MEMORIES OVERWHELM THE SAD ONES.

Its been two years today since the lord took our baby. So much has happened in these past two years. As the time passes we all build a new life without Ant in it. Never forgetting him but keeping him close to our hearts. There isn't one day that goes by that i dont think about him constantly, and his family and all of our friends.

I have built a new life in these past two years but my old one is still with me with each passing day. So many things have changed but not my love for him....the ones we loved the most, leave us the quickest... RIP Ant... keep watching over us all..

Love <3 Always

To The Family-

Its been a while since I have seen everyone! I think about you guys all the time, hoping things are good for you all. I tried to stop by yesterday but school and work has me pretty tied up!

I love you all...

Happy Birthday Anthony,

How can I even put into words the ache I have for you in my heart? The need I have to hold you in my arms and tell you again that I love you... the need to hear you laugh, and see your beautiful smile. I go through your pictures...from when we first got together till the day you were taken from us. Tears fall freely down my face. I love all of the pictures, and although they make me smile, my heart aches so for you. I just try and get through every day without you, but its not easy. I still think of you every day, and there has not been one day go by that I haven't cried. I still write you a letter every day...pretending that you are still here. Sometimes I talk to you out loud, but I try and do that when no one else is around. ; ) Things are just so different now. I want you to know that my love will never fade for you, Ant. And I will keep your memory alive every way that I can. Its hard to really realize that you are 21 years old now, oh how long we have all waited to be 21! Somehow I just can't picture you older. I guess I will always picture you as 19 years old. You will always be beautiful,and so full of life. I don't know why every Birthday seems the hardest to get through. It just seems like I need you more and more. You are our beautiful Angel. In my heart I do know that we will be reunited one day, and then we will never be apart ever again. I will love you always.



To The Family~

I hope everyone has high spirits today. I miss everyone soo much and hope everythings going good. Much Love to everyone! You're always in my prayers...



Love <3 Always

I hope your Christmas was better than last years. I know it was still sad without him.

Anthony,

Merry Christmas baby, I know your watching up there, I know you can definetely see your house with all the beautiful lights. As you can see I was lazy, suprisingly, lol and didn't do the light thing this year. The holidays are very hard without you but we know you are with us. I got pretty good gifts but I may say the best gift I ever had was to have you in my life. Merry Christmas! Love U.

Well Girello its been over a year and every day I wish I can turn back the hands of time and change the way things have happened. I miss you so much, whenever I'm at 106&park I think your just going to show up and then I come to realize that you are no longer here. You will always be alive in my heart. You touched everyone around in a special way and will never be forgotten. I'm sure Kress is next to you right now and I hope he knows that I loved him like a big brother and I miss him so much. I will always have forever lasting memories of both of you. One day we will all be together again. For every dark night there is a bright day after that and life goes on. R.I.P. Girello, R.I.P. Kress

~Anthony~

A whole year has past and not all that much has changed yet at the same time everything has changed. I still miss you just as much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. The thought of you watching out for all of us is what keeps me going. The family is not the same without you but we are surviving in your memory. You are still just as important to us as you were when you were with us. When times get hard, I know you are here with me, to pick me up, to guide my path. We've all gone through a lot this year and I know you have been there for every one of us, by our side. You're family, so I can tell you this, I love you as I would a brother. I think of you always and I know you're in a good place. I am moving towards a crossroads in my life, graduating college, applying to gradschools, etc. and I know that you are looking over me helping me to figure out where I belong. Please watch out for all of us that love you so much and keep us safe. Adel, Jeff, and Matt, it was so nice to get a chance to see you, my love is with you always. My thoughts and prayers go out of all those who miss you just as much as I do. It never really gets better, but it does get easier and you are helping me to accept that. I miss you love.

Dear Ant-

A whole year up there watching over everyone down here. How's that treating you? This whole year everyday I have been missing you like the accident was last night. The pain in my heart hurts the same is it did that second I found out the bad news, I'm sure the pain is still like that in your family and friends hearts also. I thought the year would go by and the pain would subside a little, but I was wrong. I wish I could be in Cooper City today with your family, but Im all by myself up here at school. It's comforting to know that your watching over us forever as our angel. Shine bright for us... and help us all through one more sad year without you.... I love you always...

Whit

We miss you so bad it hurts

But we know our tears are shared

by all of those who loved you

Not only Mom and Dad



If only you could know

How many people say...

We wish Anthony was with us

smiling here today



I know you will be waiting

To greet us all someday

in that special place called Heaven

But Heavens too far away

Too far away for us to hold you

Because we never said goodbye

But you always knew we loved you

So tears we should not cry



A years gone by,

Your memories live on

Watch over us from Heaven

Protect us all from harm



Love Mom,Dad and Matthew



Always in our thoughts, Forever

So I guess it's been a year already. There are no words to explain how much you've been missed. It's just not the same without you but I try to find away to think positively, and I know thats what you want everyone to do. You are watching over us daily and that comforts me a lot. Well for everyone reading this, it has not been an easy year for anybody and they say time heals pain, yet it might not seem like anythings getting better, just keep praying and look up to the sky. He's there looking right back at you. Our star in the sky.

To my dearest Anthony,

I miss you so much, I wish you were here with me!I hope you are having a lovly time. =) You are the best to talk to when I'm down, I will NEVER stop loving you! You are forever in my heart! Tell Aunt Adel and Uncle Jeff to be strong, you lived a wonderful life, they should be extremely proud of all the accomplishments you have done. Little Matthew is growing up so quickly, please help us guide him in the right direction, but he is very smart and a great younger cousin. Everyone is doing allright, but I know you can see for yourself. I will meet you in my dreams, never forget me as I will not ever forget you. I love you with ALL my heart, please never stop watching over us all.

Love you bunches,

Tanya <3...

P.S.- Aunt Adel, I know you are going through a rough time, but I will always be there and so will everyone else. I'm just a phone call away! xoxo

With that, I just wanted to remind you that I miss you and love you and that will never change, no matter what's going on here, I know that I can count on you to help me through it. You have left an indension in my life that will be with me forever. Your a legend and always will be. Please watch over all of us, and never forget how much you are truly loved.

It's the 15 of the month again. It seems as if the 15 of every month marks another month since the day my life changed forever. I sit here tonight in torment playing the 15 of November over and over again in my head, listening to that message that let me know that the person I love so much will no longer be in my life, that I will never be able to hear that voice again. It's been 10 months, doesn't seem long at all, but then at times it feels like an eternity. There are still times where I hear something, or I see something and I think "oh I have to call Ant" and I still grab for the phone. Maybe this month will be different... or maybe by the 15 of October I wont be counting the months still.

I hope everyone is fine, and everything is good. I miss everyone and wish everyone a good ending to September.

...Ant's always in my heart...

Happy Birthday Baby~

These past few days have been hard on everyone, having spent the first birthday without you. I was having a hard time dealing with this week, but spending your birthday with your family and all our friends made the day seem a little less hard to go through. Yesterday marked the fifth month of you not being in our lives. Friends are mad that I'm still counting the months but it seems that I wake up the 15th of every month with tears streaming down my face... another whole month has gone by since I've seen your beautiful face and heard your precious voice. Ant, I honestly can't tell you how I've made it these past five months, the help of my family, your family, and "the family" has made things easier. But now you're in heaven as our guardian angel watching over us all as we live our much changed daily lives. God needed his angels and you and Anthony fit the description. Ant you were such a wonderful loving person to us all, your love will never be forgotten. You're in my mind always. Keep us all safe! You're my shining star... so shine bright for us all to see! I miss you soo much, and I'll love you always....

Forever in my heart...

Whit

Footprints~

Lord, you said that once i decided to follow You, we would walk side by side through life, but when i needed You most, i saw only one set of footprints in the sand. the Lord replied, "i love you and i would never leave you. during your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints it was then that i carried you."

Anthony, Happy Birthday. we love you and miss you always. keep shining down on us!

Today, is such a special yet sad day. We used to be getting ready to party but now it seems as, there's nothing to party for. But then I think about it and how much more happy and peaceful you are. I mean you're with your best friend Matt, and best of all Jesus, and I know your having the best party up there imaginabe. On earth you are remembered and stil here living with us but also you are in heaven now watching over us. I really wish I could just watch you come home again so mad about the big barbie ballon that mom wrote "big boy" on but I think you were traumatized enough. Just remember your life is lived daily by friends ands family and we will see you soon someday! I Love you so much and Happy Birthday!

Your one and only, Princess!!!!!

BFF!

To the family lets not mourn today yet celebrate his life and the time we were so lucky to spend with such an angel!

I wake up everyday hoping it's just a dream, but then reality hits and makes it as real as it seems. We've lost our Anthony, how could this be?But then you look to heaven and there you can see. The angels needed someone new, and they took our Anthony because he would definetly do. Not a question about it,he'd take care of us, thats a tough job, but Anthony I trust. So for now he's left us to a much better place, but someday very soon we will see his beatiful face. So you must stay strong and hold your heads high, and remember we will see him again soon so it's not goodbye.

Anthony you are my world! And will live in everyones hearts forever.

I love You.

A young life taken

His path gone astray

Left his home too early

Family all left in dismay.



Hearts have been broken

Lives have been shattered

Worlds turned upside down

Seems like nothing else matters.



From up above

The Lord called his name

But down here on Earth

Nothing can ever be the same.



With our friends

We've laughed and we've cried

Like our friend

A part of us all has died.



We share in each others pain

Though his hurt is no more

We rejoice in his life

Yet what's it all for.



Gone so soon

Taken so fast

You think to yourself

How long can this pain last.



You have to tell yourself

There must be a reason

To each their own time

Day, month, year, and season.



Our Angel in heaven

Is watching over us all

Smiling down upon us

Waiting to catch us if we may fall.



So cry no more

And fear we shall not

He led a good life

His battles hard fought



So "Say goodnight to the bad guy"

Shed not a tear

Forever in our hearts

Will we hold you so dear.



written by ALISON JILL RASGADO



In loving memory of Anthony Paul Girello, a best friend, a son, and loving brother.

WE MISS YOU ANGEL- LOOK OUT FOR THE FAMILY

Anthony was more than just a friend, he was family to us all. He was the nicest and most genuine person that I have ever been blessed to know. I feel so greatful that he was and will forever be a part of my life. Without him the family would be nothing. Adel, Jeff, and Matty, my love is forever with you. Our angel is now watching over us all and he will be with us always. Anthony was put on this earth to enrich the lives of all those around him and he has done so much more than that. May love always guide your path. LONG LIVE THE FAMILY, my boys through life and death.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me Author Unknown



When tomorrow starts without me,

And I'm not there to see;

If the sun should rise and find your eyes



All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry

The way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,

We didn't get to say.



I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my

name,

And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind

All those I dearly love.



But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye,

For all my life, I'd always

thought,

I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,

So much yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible,

That I was leaving you.



I thought of all the yesterdays,

The good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared,

And all the fun we had.



If I could relive yesterday,

Just even for awhile,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you

And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,

That this could never be,

For emptiness and memories,

Would take the place of me.



And when I thought of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when i did,

My heart was filled with sorrow.



But when I walked through heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at

me,

From His great golden throne,

He said "This is eternity,

And all I've promised you."

Today for life on earth is past,

But here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,

But today will always last,

And since each day's the same way

There's no longing for the past.



But you have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true.

Thought there were times you did some things,

You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven

And now at last you're free.

So won't you take my hand

And share my life with me?



So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I'm right here, in your heart.

For Matthew

January 15, 2004

In My Mind



Somewhere in my dreams tonight

I'll see you standing there

You look at me with a smile

"Life isn't always fair"



You say you were chosen for his garden

His preciously hand picked bouquet

"God really needed me,

That's why I couldn't stay"



It's said to be that angels

Are sent from above

I've always had my angel

My brother - whose heart was filled with love



Wherever the ocean meets the sky

There will be memories of you and I

When I look up at that sky so blue

All I see are visions of you



"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

Aunt Gayle and Uncle Butch Santuccio

Adel,Jeff,Matthew and my loving nephew Anthony that has gone to the Angels.

No words can express the pain and sorrow that we all feel through this span of time. We have gotten through what ever the heavens have brought us,and have continued to be the emensly strong sisters that we have been.We have tried to stay tough through it all, though this is the toughest and most painfull. Your destiny was chosen. We were given the most wonderful time with Anthony and it was his time to go and be with God for whatever reason. Even though it is unexplainable to us. Anthony is at peace and with his family that has passed. He will watch over Matthew now. I will miss his "Im bad" but it repeats it my head whenever I think of him and know that I have his angel hugs whenever I need them, just as he did before. I now know where my Anthony is I do not have to go look and search anymore ,he is fine where he is. Take comfort in knowing this and the pain and sorrow will bring a little more peace to your heart. We all miss him more than words can express, but I have so many happy thoughts of our time together that it is easier to accept.



Love your loving sister/sister-

Uncle Jeff, Aunt Adel, Matthew, & Nana,



Well honestly, I'm not sure what to say. Throughout the years and despite the many miles that have separated us, I hope you all know that you were never far from my heart. That is why I regret so much not being able to see you all for so many years. From what I have been told, Anthony touched more lives in his life that I could ever dream of touching no matter how long I am here. Although my memories with him are limited, they are still fond. I don't know if you all remember the time you guys came to visit us about 8 years ago or so, but I do. I remember Anthony and I spending hours in the backyard building our "fort." That's what we called it at least. I was so proud of that and that I got to build it with "my cousin from Florida." I looked up to him (being my older cousin and all, by 2 months!!). I know that was years ago and he probably was a much different person then, but that is the memory of him I hold onto fondly and cherish. That fort stayed for a very long time after that.

I know I can't understand what you guys are going through, but I feel for you guys and all of Anthony's friends. I realize, regretfully, that I was not a part of his everyday life, but I share greatly in your grief. The comfort I can find in it all is that I know he gets to see Poppop again, and neither one of them are lonely or in any kind of pain. Aunt Adel, Uncle Jeff, Matthew, & Nana, I love you guys so much and I hope I will get to see you all soon. God Bless.



Love, Rachel

I was at the tower shops last night and saw a truck that said "In loving Memory of Anthony Girello" my heart nissed a beat. I just wanted to send mine and my daughter Renee's heart felt sympathy to all of you. All of our thoughts and prayers are with you at this terribly sad time.

Anthony was born 24 hours apart from my sister..he was her twin...and like a brother to me.My dear departed cousin will be in my heart forever.I will never be able to get over the fact that i wont have my cousin there for me when i need him..Now he watches over me with Poppop and Matthew..

Im so sorry to hear of your loss, I went to school with Anthony and though I didnt really know him. We had mutual friends. Anthony was a good person and he will be missed.

~Family Chains~

We knew little that morning that God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we'll do the same. It breaks our hearts to loose you but you do not go alone, For apart of us goes with you know that he has called you home. You leave us beautiful memories and your love will be our guide. Thou we may not see you there, your always at our side. Your family chain is broken now and nothing seems the same. But as your called up one by one... The chain will link again.

To The Girello Family,

I've known Anthony since we were little kids and used to have backyard wars. It's hard to think that someone you've had around the corner from you your whole life won't be there anymore. I always told him he was taking people for granted, but it seems as we are the ones wishing we had spent more time with him. I deeply admire your strength. I know my heart is breaking, so I can't ever begin to imagine what you are feeling. I’m soo sorry for your loss. I only wish I could describe how much I wanted to become a part of your family. Anthony and I had our goods and definitely had our bads, but through it all I never gave up hope for your son. Even though we didn’t have very many people rooting for us, we made it through a bumpy four years. The last time I saw him, I knew all the tears and pain were worth it because I could see the love in his eyes, the love that you two taught him. Anthony had such a big heart and so much love to share. You two raised the boy who turned into the man that I fell in love with. And I thank you so much for sharing him with me for these past four years. Time will heal your broken hearts, and the empty spaces that don’t mend completely are for his laughter and your memories. Keep them close because they are what will make you smile, and that’s what he would want. He will forever have a place in my heart and so will you. I love you all…
