My Angel,

The signs you have been sending me (esp. the number signs) have been more frequent than ever. When I go to mass on my lunch break Its bone chilling. You know what I am praying for and I know you are in my corner helping it happen. Thank you for your approval chicken. Love you always xoxoxo Alisa

It has been 10 months since you left us and not a day goes by that I don't think about you, or wish that I could call you and tell you what's going on in my life. I know you see everything and can hear every word but it's not the same without you here. I feel an ache in my heart that nothing will take away. You were here with me for 50 years we went through good times and bad time together and got through. I am doing the best I can here without you but it's not easy. I miss you more today than I did when you first left and everyday is a struggle. I love you and I miss you, I'll see you in Heaven my Brother, stay close.

Well today I'm 29 unc, I've been up since 6 am. This is the first time in 29 years you can't call me and wish me a happy birthday, yet I'm still staring at my phone waiting for your name and picture to pop up. I miss you so much it hurts, I feel like something isn't right. I love you unc and my only wish is that I could talk to you one more time...just one more conversation..

August 14, 2013

I can't believe it's over 8 months my Love. I miss you more than words. Todays weather was so beautiful we would have talked all day contemplating what to do after work.. what to do for dinner..etc..we would have been taking/studying the college classes we agreed to take by now. I'm taking one we agreed on Social Psychology..its so interesting..we would be cuddling, discussing it right now. I would have had your lunch packed already with a secret love note included from my heart. They say days get softer, and they do, but not a minute goes by that we don't think of you. Knowing you are with Jesus free of mortal burdens helps us smile up at you in Heaven. I know you are proud of all of us...continuing to better our lives and stay strong. It's not easy...some days are good and then boom...grief hits out of no where. But be proud that we are strong and stick together. If it weren't for your family and their values that you inherited in spirit I'd be lost without them. Keep watching over us my Handsome Love and keep the dreams coming...I love and miss your kind loving heart...Love Alisa

It has been 4 months since you left us and each day I miss you more. My birthday came without my birthday phone call, Mommie's birthday came without you here. No day is the same without you my brother. I Love you more with every passing day.

It's been 8 days now and I still don't believe you're gone I still want to call you to come see my new place. Thank you for everything unc I remember EVERYTHING we did as a family, there isn't a single moment I forget. All the trips to the shore, the pool hall when you and your buddies would stand me on the table and play between my legs, I still remember the tan suit you had on that day. My midget uncles gone but now I got a bigger angel.

Me and his boys...He loved them and did everything for them

My Gino My Love, Words cannot express the pain we are all experiencing. Your family is a rock that I thank od for. I grateful that God brought us together you were the love of my life and I will hold that memory in my heart forever. You made me a better person...you strived to make everyone in your life a better person. I knew the REAL Gino...the softie. I was looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you watching "Jeopardy" , cooking together and taking mother hen Viola to the gym. You were a wonderful son, father, brother, friend and uncle and an inspiration to all of us in your world. You put your past behind you and I can attest to that. You were highly intelligent and made me laugh from the minute we woke up until the minute we were cuddling asleep. I'm going to miss you so much...you were the first to show me what true unconditional love is and I'll never forget that..Remember to continue to reach out to your mother, sister and boys everyday in their dreams I could use a chicken "ca-caw" myself lol..We love you and you will be forever in our hearts..My love until next time..I will love you forever Chicken...Love Chicken...you are THE BEST.Continue to watch over us and give us your strength we need it

Linda

December 15, 2012

My Brother is gone, what more can I say. Someone came and took him away. No thought for the family that he left behind to deal with the anguish and emptiness we find. No reasons apparent only lies and deceit. No answers to heal us or make us complete. A part of our hearts has been ripped from us now. We must go on. Someone Please tell us how?
Rest in Peace Gino. I love and miss you.

The best son, Dad, brother and uncle. Rest in Peace

December 15, 2012

Thank you for the kind, heartfelt words for my family. He is sadly missed and will forever be in our hearts.

December 14, 2012

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Although I do not know you my heart broke when I saw his mom on the news. No one deserves to die like that and no mother should have to bury her child. God rest Gino's soul may he rest in peace. My sincere sympathies to the entire family.
