DEARST ADAM, CAN YOU BEEIVE I JUST FOUND THIS? I FOUND IT WHEN WRITING IN OUR FRIEND LINDAS. I AM COMFORTED TO KNOW THAT SHE IS IN HEAVEN WITH YOU. I AM GLAD TO HAVE THIS CHANCE TO WRITE MY FEELINGS FOR YOU FOR ALL TO KNOW. OUR FEW SHORT YEARS AS FRIENDS WERE AWESOME! BUT THE MANY YEARS YOU BLESSED MY SAM WITH CAN NOT BE PUT INTO WORDS. THE IMPACT YOU MADE ON OUR FAMILY. YOU HAVE GIVEN SAM A FRIENDSHIP THAT FEW WILL EVER EXPERIENCE IN ALIFETIME. IT BREAKS HIS HEART IT WAS CUT TO SHORT. NOT A DAY,AN HOUR GOES BY THAT YOU ARE NOT IN OUR THOUGHTS.YOU WOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOUR"GUYS" ADAM IS ALMOST AS TALL AS MARIO! SAMMY IS GOOFY AS EVER, AND STARTED PRESCHOOL TODAY! SAM IS SLOWLY GAINING MORE WORDS BUT HE MAKES PROGRESS DAILY. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT GIRLFRIEND! SHE WAS TESTED SHE IS A GENUIS! I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE YOU PART OF THIER LIVES AGAIN. BUT CANT EVER FORGET YOU. SAM AND I TELL THEM FUNNY STORIES OF YOU ALL THE TIME, SOMETIMES IT IS AS IF YOU NEVER LEFT. THER ARE TIMES WHEN I WHEN I AM SAYING "ADAM NO!" OR "ADAM STOP" I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WITH HIM. HE WILL GIVE US THIS COCKY GRIN OR HE WILL SAY "NO". AND ICAN HEAR YOUR VOICE IN HIM. BUT ANY WAYS, I THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR FRIEND. SAM LOVES YOU SO MUCH IT IS SO HARD TO SEE HIM GRIEVE. YOU MENT MORE TO HIM THAN SOME PEOPLE KNOW. WHEN SAM AND I FIRST MET, I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A PACKAGE DEAL! BUT IM GLAD IT WAS.HE MISSES YOU SO MUCH!!!SOMETIMES IGET ANGRY WITH YOU WHEN ISEE HIM CRY OR HEAR THE EMPTINESS IN YOUR MOTHERS VOICE. BUT I ALWAYS FOREGIVE YOU.

Hey Adam, I haven't been on here in a couple of months. I just felt like saying hi. Also to tell you i'm trying my hardest to be the best of friends I could be to Jess, she's still taking this really hard, I really wish you could just talk to her, or even hug her one more time. I can't even imagine how much it hurts to lose someone that close, but I do know how bad it hurt to lose you, and you guys had so much more together. I've gotten alot closer to your mom too. She went with me and Jess to get our tattoo's, and we're helping her out with something next weekend. Thank God her and Jess have each other. I heard they put your head stone up earlier this week, it's going to be so hard to see it. I hope your having a great time up there. I can't count how many stupid things me and jess do, and start laughing because we know your up there laughing at us. We miss you so much, I only wish I had the chance to know you better than I did.

hey adam i was just thinking of you and remembering all the times we had. Now that summer is almost here and the cold is turning to warm it makes everyday that much harder, remembering our walks in the park and our times at the pool. Remember when you ran up behind me and threw me into the pool? yeah that was pretty funny. of course not so funny at the time since i thought i was drowning but then you jumped in to save me. Thanks... kalany looked at your picture yesterday and she pointed to you and said aaaammm. I think she remembers you but then how could someone like you be forgotten. I'll be spending most of these summer days at the park and in the back yard with kalany remembering the days when we did this whole "life" thing together. Im hoping you'll join me there,even though in my heart i know you are there maybe you could drop me a little sign.K? I love you baby.

Adam, i just wanted to wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year. You and I have spent almost every new years together since we have known each other. This new years is going to be so so hard without you here. I am going to try to enjoy it the way we would have if we were together. you always made sure that we had fun on new years. I remember the year i was deppressed and i tried to sleep through midnight and at 11:58 you came into my room and jumped on my head and told me to wake up cause it was about to be midnight. I dont know exactly where you are right now but i know that you will be right by my side this news years as you have always been before. i will keep you close to me in my heart , thoughts and dreams until the beautiful day when we can be reunited. At least now I know that I will have a loving hand to welcome me when it is my time . Please continue to rest in peace my baby . I love you

The pain in my heart is the pain of a thousand broken hearts... it has been torn into many pieces and parts...there will always be an empty space inside us knowing he is far away...but he is still very close to us.. we will see him again someday...each night we pray to the lord above, that our dear friend is being taken care of.. we miss him very much and the things he always did..may Adam rest in peace.. when we arrive in heaven we will find him.. but until then we are still together..for he walks beside us each step we take...and every move we make...Adam Daly we will love you for eternity

I will always remember...
The way you loved your mother,
The way you loved your sisters, family and friends.
The way you brought back friendships
How you did anything for anyone.
The way you made us all laugh.
The way you laughed.
The way no matter how mad you got you couldn't help but smile.
The sweet things you did.
Your heart and your soul.
Your smile.
Your dreams.
Your love for life.
I know I will never know anyone like you, I miss you so much.
I will always remember.....
Forever, Jess

Adam was a brother to me from the day he moved to PA. I will miss him more than words can ever say. The one positive that I can take away from all of this is that I got to meet my 'brother's' friends and family. I thank you all for that. I will miss you, Adam...my "Gerome," I'm your "Shana-nae" for always.
