I’m sure you were right by her side or sitting on her shoulder, but I wanted to also say how beautiful Theresa looked as she and Eric vowed their love for one another. She looked stunning. You would have been and I’m sure you are so proud of her. I know it was probably difficult for her to get through the day without thinking about you being there, actually we know that you were there somewhere - probably right next to the keg. She looked absolutely amazing and we are all so proud of her.

Hey,
Hope things are going great where you all are. Say hi to everyone for me, and how much I miss you all. I still weep knowing that I miss you all. Its still not fair or right and I hope to some day get some strength to not cry like a little baby. I do, I feel like a big baby when I sit all alone and just ball knowing that you all are not with us. It still hurts. Tell Mommy that I miss her and really wish that I had her here with me. So many things come about that I just wish I had her for a minute to help me get through some things. It still hurts so bad that you all left us. I love you all and say hello for me.
Hope you had a great thanksgiving. Hope you remembered to take the gizzards out this time. :-)

John,
I wanted to say hey and to let you know that you will have a roommate. Kenny passed away yesterday and hopefully is with you by now (whereever it is you are - HEAVEN). We love and miss you all so much and it hurts. But you all are in a better place than we all are, I'm sure. Take care of each other, until we all meet again.
LOVE YOU!

dad there is something wrong with me. i cant seem to get over losing you. how do people move on after something like this. i guess nobody could tell me that because i doubt anyone has ever lost anyone like you before. there was only room for one septa john in this world. every time a car pulls up outside beeping and blaring music i pretend its you. i just replace the rap with rod steart or bruce springstein. although towards the end steven did have you tapping your foot to some of his music so who knows how things would of been. the world keeps turning, life goes on but your not here. it makes no sense. i just keep asking why. i want to get married someday. i want you to walk me down the isle. i want my kids to grow up telling their friends how cool and weird their grandpop is. that wont ever happen. it doesnt make sense.

hey uncle johnny, i just wanted to say that i miss you so much. in a way i feel i miss you too much. i didnt get to spend a lot of time with you because i left. and living on tulip st. made it hard because it brings back the memories that i have of you and makes me miss the ones i missed. thinking about it makes me realize that i just have to hold on to every moment that i have. im a mommy now :) and i finally got my life together, it was hard, but i did it. for my daughter, and for my dad. he has had some rough times lately, and honestly i dont know how he holds on the way he does. i guess you guys up there are watching over him. just please keep looking out for him.
i love you uncle john, and i miss you so much.

Hey just want you to know that you are still missed and boy do I think of you a lot. I don't know but everytime I am in the car and am crying about something or thinking of bad things, Rod Stewart comes on. I sure hope this is you letting me know that things will be alright. I also think of you everytime I play the lottery because of that house we were all supposed to get some day. Well I sure hope that house isn't the one on Tulip Street, haha. I think I could probably thank you for having Tlp Street available for Daddy, Kenny and the crew or they would have ended up on Church St. and I am sure that was YOU who didn't want them moving there. Thanks for the save. We are all doing ok I guess but it sure is still hard without you Mommy and Steve, please let them know I think of them all the time too. I sure wish we could have you all back cause it hurts soooo bad still. I try to cope but its really hard and some days I feel like I am going to just explode. We are supposed to enjoy life while we have it but that is hard when bad things happen. But ok I better go before those tears come but please take care of us all. LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!

dad, i drove past plymouth meeting today and thought of you. thats not much different from my every day though. every day i am reminded of you. i drive past tulip street every chance i get. almost every song i hear i think of you. whenever im driving and a song comes on i leave it on and blast it for you. even the ones i dont like. so if your ever there and you hear me blasting guns and roses, trust me thats for you. i picture you there singing along like a goof. why did you have to go. we could of had so many more great memories together. not that i dont appreciate the ones i have because i do. i just dont know when this pain is going to go away. i keep having dreams that your alive and your living on tulip street. that somehow doctors saved you and you were better but that it was all a big secret. if only that were true. i love you so much. please watch over all of us

hi john i think it's time to write to you again. i want you to know that i still think about you all the time. i miss you alot but from where you stand i bet you know that. besides the fact that we no longer have our loved ones who now live in heaven the rest of us are doing pretty well. we miss you all but thats part of the game. i play around with the karaoke on the web but i only read and listen i cant sing without my lead singer (not that i could sing with my lead singer) haha. you was the best. continue to visit me in my dreams for now because it's all i have of you. i'll write you in a couple of months. love your favorite brother ps your kids all of them have made it so dont worry. bye

dad its been three months since you died and most of it feels like a blur. i still miss you so much and i am so mad. maybe its selfish to say i want you back but i cant help it. i cant take the dreams anymore. in my dreams your fine and things are like they were years ago and then i wake up and i dont know how to feel. i need to know that your alright now. i need to know your not in pain anymore. i need to talk to you again. i dont feel like me anymore. im not the same person without you in my life. you could really get on my nerves sometimes but you were my best friend. i have so much guilt right now. i should of done more for you while you were here. all i can say is im sorry and i wish things were different. i wish i could have you back again i would do so many things differently.as time goes by i just miss you more and more.i pray to god that i will see you again.

I wasn't a family member of yours but I always knew you as my Uncle John. I only remember a little bit of you before you got sick, but I know that you were a friend of my dads, and that I loved it when he brought me over your house. I don't know what it was but I loved it. Then I became friends with Steven and started coming over some. Like someone already said you were sick but your heart surley wasn't. You were always happy. I never understood how you did it. I had so much respect for you. You left behind alot of people who loved you. You shouldn't feel bad at all though because you deserve so much to be happy and at peace. I know I never said it but I do love you, and in case you didn't know it so does my family. While your up there can you do me a favor though? Can you keep a close watch on Jessie. Thats what godparents are suppose to do right, and what a better place to do it then with God himself. Please watch after her and your family, this world isn't go great and they really need you. RIP

Dad I miss you from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep at night. I dont know if I should be grateful for 23 years with you or if I should feel cheated for not having 50 more years. I feel sorry for all the people out there who didnt get to know you because you were definitly one of a kind. You lived so much in those 48 years. I wish you were here to watch your grandchildren grow up but I know youll be watching from heaven. Me, Michael and Steven will never let the kids forget you. Nobody who met you could ever forget you. I know that you loved your family so much,I just hope you know how much we all love you. I pray that we will all be together again someday. Make sure your there to greet me. We will play cards and sing kareoke. I'll see you then. I'll love you forever.

My dear ex-husband; the Father of my children, I have always loved you. Through the good times and bad. I will never love another the way I loved you. I'm glad we were able to become friends again. I said many times you were your own worst enemy but you did it your way. Always true to yourself. Not pretending to be someone else or feeling something else.I thank Father Bob for helping me through this past year. God did give you a very heavy cross to bear. You did it willingly. Sometimes you got tired yet always looked at God for strength. Please ask God to help your children and all others who are having a hard time with you gone. I've been feeling extra lonly these days but you taught me God is in charge and he will make everything all right, in his time.
Tell Mom-Mom & Stevie hi & you're all welcome to come into my dreams. I will try and listen.I know you know what I mean.
Love Always,
Terrie

waiting for this tear to dry.
the sadness felt inside my heart.

that all your pain is far behind.
if not today do it tomorrow.

One night I woke up to the phone ringing and sensed a feeling of loss. Then a vision of you popped into my mind. You were dressed in white, sitting on a cloud, being welcomed to a new place by Uncle Stevie and Mom-Mom. That gave me some great comfort. I know you are where there is no pain or suffering, but I do miss you terribly. Someday, we will meet again. Until we do, I will keep your memory in my heart as well as my mind. I'll remember all of the wonderful times we've had. I love you!!!!!!!!

I dont know what to say except that I miss you so much. You helped me out alot when I was fighting with my parents. I admire you in so many ways and I regret that I never got to thank you for all that you have done to help me. Heck, I bet you're chilling with John and George right about now. Say Hi To Jimi for me man. Until we meet again...

John is my dear brother. I will miss him so much. Its hurting that he is not with us here (you are and always will be in our thoughts), but it was also hurting to see you suffer. You are now with Mommy and Steve who will take care of you and heal your illness. John, you will always be in my heart. I hope you know that WE ALL LOVE YOU dearly and will miss you until we meet again.
