The day we adopted Dominic

Daddy,
It's May of 2018, we were settled here in Atlanta. Clay got me a puppy for Christmas, his name is Dominic, he's a boxer mix. I have to say I am truly enjoying living down south, it's ALWAYS warm, and sunny. As for a job I am working, clay asked that I work to do something for myself. He supports me in evey way, he can. I am doing much better with my anxiety, and panic, the medication is the right one I should be on, for my mental illnesses. I did get Dominic registered as a service dog. I'm waiting for him to get a little older to g classes for service training. He's only 7 months old. Val is going to watch him his June when Clay, and I go on his annual family vacation to Disney. As for my back injury it's still painful, not as painful with the warm weather. I do need to continue physical therapy. I was. X-rayed a few weeks ago, the three discs in my lower back are still pushing together. I do plan on starting school this year. I'm going to study radiologist technically. It's a two year course.

Daddy,
This year has been a pretty good year. I met the man of my dreams at the very beginning of this year. You would love him. He's everything and more, that you would want in a man for me. He's has a very successful career. He treats me like a princess. He's truly made me the happiest girl. With Christmas coming up it doesn't seem like it's going to be as hard as it's been over the years. I feel like this year is different, because I'm truly in love with him. His job has taken us to Atlanta, Georgia. We officially move at the end of the year. As for me i did have a hard spot this fall. My anxiety, panic attacks, and depression took me far down. I can say I was at my lowest point. With the proper treatment,and medication I came back to me. I ended up doing an outpatient program, that was 30 hours a week. I was there for about a month.During the stay I learned a lot. I also learned that everything I've been through in life has effected me. I was able to get it all out, put the bad memories away for good. I know you were there guiding me from up above. One night you came to me in a dream, you told me that I wasn't coming up with you just yet. This experience I had, really showed me how strong of a girl I really am. As for now I'm back to the girl everyone knows and loves. Please continue to look over pop pop, he's getting worse and worse. It's so hard to watch him suffering from this horrible disease.(Alzheimer's).

Daddy,
It's Christmas Eve it doesn't even feel like it. This year is extremely hard. Pop pop isn't the same man your not here. pop pop came back at diner tonight he cracked a joke and then when back. The holidays I wish I could just skip over. They get harder and harder every year. I am going to cherish whatever time we have left with pop pop. I know you are looking down on him and helping him stay with us. It kills me to see the hard working man that he was m. To what he is now. Alzheimer's is a very hard thing to live through. He doesn't even know he has this horrible disease. We have gotten to the point we have a nanny with him during the day. It's not safe for him to be alone. As for me I'm feeling a lot better pain injection is stil working for me. I go back on the 6th of January to get reevaluated. I may get another injection I have no clue. It's all up to the pain doctor. Well I'll be coming to see you tomorrow on Christmas Morning. I love you and miss you each and every day.

Daddy, my life has been turned upside down this past year. I was in another car accident in October of 2015. I didn't get fault for the accident. I've been in constant pain with my lower back since last October. The pain has become chronic. When I was put in the MRI machine doctors or I never thought my internal injury was this bad. The first diagnosis was degenerative disc disorder..I've had X-rays MRI's I've been through chiropractic care. I got some good and bad news this past Wednesday about my back. I just got anotherdiagnosis when I went to the pain management doctor I have a tear in my L1 in my back. I can't sit for more then 20 minutes without my back hurting and pain going down my leg. My pain management doctor has giving me a pain injection in my back. I had immediate relief. After the shot was given to me. I woke up Thursday morning with zero pain. It's now Saturday night. I am up and walking straight not walking to one side anymore. I feel truly amazing to be pain free. I forgot what it felt like not to have pain. I have to continue with my chiropractic care. The only bad part about this is I can't work in childcare.My back is permanently messed up. I can't lift over 10 pounds. I can't sit for more then 20 minutes to a half hour. I've been on bed rest since Thursday. My mood is a lot better now that I'm not in pain 24/7. I'm happier I want to get up and do things I haven't been able to do in a whole year. But I know I can't because my back can't handle it. I'll know soon enough when I can slowly go back into things like lifting things again.Going to the gym. As for now I have an amazing support system to help me with things I can't get because there over my weight limit. I get to go back to work Monday. Finding a new job isn't going to be easy giving the love I have for children. I have to do what's best for my health. As for pop pop he's not doing good at all his altztimers is getting worse. I'm so happy he's still with us. We all thought he was going to come back from his brain injury. He didn't. All we can do is take it one day at a time. I would do anything to have him crack jokes one more time. Please guide him through and try and stop his altztimers from progressing. I don't think I'll be able to handle losing another person so close to me. Daddy I love you so much. Your with me every single day. I can still feel you when your with me. I feel you especially when I'm driving. I really hate driving it scares me half to death. Evey time I get in the car I wonder if I'm going to get hit again. My body can't afford another car accident. I need to come see you I've been long over due I've been working 11 hour days. Well until next time I love you. Daddy I will always be your baby girl. Every time I look in the mirror I see you. I'm so thankful I'm a female version of you.

Daddy please continue to help pop pop with his brain injury. He's doing better but still not the man I grew up knowing. I'm very grateful that he made it out of the accident alive. I'll take him just the way he is. It's better then not having him here with us. I know you happy that I'm back in school getting my teaching degree. In doing really good in school with my grades. In about 3 and a half years I'll have my degree. I'll be a teacher I want to teach kindergarten, just like in doing now at the y. Well I love you and I'll continue to come seeing you like I always do.

Daddy,
It was three years ago yesterday that you left me I miss you more and more everyday I wish you were here to see how good I'm doing.. When you left me I didn't no what I was going to to do without my father that I needed to help gide me though life through the tough and the easy times..I no on the night of my accident you were there with me from the time she hit me and from the time I woke up in my car not knowing what just happend. As I was getting put in the ambulance I reambber saying daddy in scared stay with me and I no you were there but I wanted you to no I was really scared... I no you would be proud that I'm going back to collage when my doctor releases me to go back to school and I can sit without being in pain I'm coming along with my therpy I'm not in the rely bad pain I was in I still can't sleep through the night but it's getting better. I didn't no what I was going to do when you left and I didn't no who I was going to go to because I no I needed a father figure in my life because I was to young at 17 to lose you even though noone can replace you. I turned to pop pop and we've gotten very close of the past three years this winter er go very close because he took me to all my doctors appts because mom couldn't take me because she was working and I still couldn't drive. I always said to him pop pop when am I going to get better it seems like its beer going to happen I'm in so much pain all the time. He told me we'll get you better and he didn't lie we found a new doctor and I got the right dignosies my neck and spine are very messed up. Ive at dr Kline for about a month and I'm starting to feel a lot better I see that light at the end of te tunnel that I'm going to get better although it's permaned I rather have this then be worse or even have never made it out of my accident. I had a very good job interview today I didn't think I was going to get a call back and I did I have a day of shadowing in Monday and I will find out if I get the job then it's a different work environment for me but it seems like something I would want to do... This year has been very hard I've been missing you a lot more then ever mom says its because Ive had a rough year and your not here to help me though it with her.. I came to see you today and like everytkme I come and see you I say the same thing why did you Lear me so young I no it was an accident but it seem the good die and te bad live on and keep doing there horrible things. I know one day I'll see you agai but I'm no where near ready I want I life my life to the fullest and take it one day at a time I learned that when you die you don't no how good you have it till its gone so I take it one day at a time. Of course I wish you were here with me but you are my gardean angle now I I no your with me everyday I can feel you I feelyou the most when I'm having a tough day or when I'm having a day or night when all I want to do is see you I would do anything to see you just one more time and web ten back the clocks but I can't. Iearned that when I went to breath ment after you died they help me and teached me how to deal and accept that your never going to come back i although it took me almost a year to come Arround and accept it. I'll always have you in my heart and in my left shoulder with my tatto that says daddy 8 14 09 well I love you and miss you more then ou could ever emangin ad I no you miss and love me me..

well its been almost two years now and i mis you like crazy. its fathers day today and i cant stop thinking about you as i sit here and cry every tear as i write this i know that deep down inside your still here with us. Life has been pretty tuff without you and its never the same and never will be without you. You and mommy raised me to be the girl i am today and will be for the rest of my life. When you left i didnt know what to say or what to do it was the hardest time of my life. I still think about you all the time and how much you meant to me. Looking back on all the good times we had and all the times you comforted me when i was sad,but its just not the same anymore. I just wish you were still here so i could give you one last hug one last kiss one last i love you and one last goodbye <3 We all miss you dearly especialy me . I love you daddy no matter what whether your with me or not you will always hold a spot in my heart <3

Tony,
I always said to your sister that you made the uncomfortable visits with step family worthwhile. You always were larger than life and making everyone around you laugh! It's a rare gift, and I know you are missed every second of every day by those who loved you most. My heart goes out to them, especially Valie & Lexi. See you again one day. I know you're at peace now.
With Love, Tiffany

Daddy, Today was an ok day for me. What made it an ok day was this morning when I felt something going up my back. I turned around and nothing was on me. Then I said to my self DADDY!Daddy it's you!! I was so happy and comforted knowing you were still here with me!!!Last night when I was in your bed trying to slepp I looked at the window and there you were waving and smiling at me!!!!I didnt really know if you were saying hi papa or good-bye papa. Either way I was happy.so...I hope you are thinking of us especially lexie. She's so sad she dosen't even what to see the house. I had some fun with her on sunday! We went bowling together it was fun. I miss you a lot and wish you were still here.But some things happen for a reason, but this was a MAJOR MAJOR accident and that's for sure. I'm coming to see you on saturday.When I am there I want a BIG HUGE HUG from you. I will give one right back. Even though you can't physically do it you can do it by warming my heart,and it will help get over the fact that you're gone forever. Well I'll unfortunately never get over it but it will help a little bit. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH.
Love,PAPA FOREVER <3

Tony, what can be said that hasnt already been? Our lives will never be the same without you... I was giving Daniela a ride home today after we said goodbye to you and she said "there will always be someone missing at every family gathering now." You may be physically gone but your spirit lives on though all of the Romeo's especially your beautiful children. We will always look after the kids and help as best we can. Like your sister Carm keeps saying "Romeo's forever!" Whenever I eat a cheesesteak or watch our Eagles fly to victory I will think of you cugino. May your soul be at peace.
All my love

Tony,
It doesn't seem fair that some people live to be 100 and some are taken so soon. But as I read what your family and friends have written, I'm convinced that you touched more lives, had more of an impact on people, and were loved more than many people who live twice as long. In my heart, I know that if you had it to do all over again -- even knowing how it would end -- you'd jump at the chance. Likewise, I'm so saddened by your death but equally grateful that I had the chance to know you.
Chuck Allen
August 19, 2009
I cannot describe how sad I am at hearing of Tony's passing. Several years ago we worked in the same building and he was a dynamo. Recently we rarely saw each other physically - but we often spoke on the phone - and he was great. He would return calls to my cell phone was always there for me.
It is appropriate that the Romeo family is proud of their husband, father, son. What a great man. I am so sorry for your loss.

Hi Rach,
There are no words out there that can describe the pain I felt in my heart for you, the children, and your in-laws this evening, at the viewing. (the kids are beautiful may I add!!)
For a moment all that I could think of as we hugged was what a special friend and co-worker you were at Rosenbluth and how, nothing I would say or do at that moment could begin to let you know how my heart is aching for you all.
Please know that I am here for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. May you find comfort in the fact that Tony is looking down on all of you with pride and will watch over you until you see each other again. Tony will be with you always...in your heart and in everything you do.

It has been a long time since we've been in contact. While time has taken us down different paths, it can never take away the memories I have of you. Over the years I would reflect on all the crazy yet fun stuff we did and smile or laugh. You and Saverio were like the brothers I never had. My deepest sympathies go out to your wife, children, and entire family.
Rachel Romeo

To "My first, My last, My everything,"
This wasn't supposed to be the way it ended. Regardless of what we were going through, we both always knew exactly how much love we had for one another. All I ever wanted for you was to be happy and peaceful. Nobody else knows what we shared over this past week or what our future plans were but I know and that's all that matters. The kids and I were looking forward to seeing you when we returned and are heartbroken that you have left us. Puccini keeps looking for you and just today when I pulled in the driveway, I turned to Valentina and said "Look, Daddy's home" without even thinking. We had so much happiness and those are the times for which I will always be grateful. I hope that you are now finally in a place where you are at peace and that we will be reunited again someday. Please keep watch over all of us especially Alexis, Dante & Valentina as they need your guidance from above now more than ever. Although, we can no longer share our "favorite time", I am holding you close to my heart every night and will remain forever and always - your first, your last, your everything. I Love You!
August 19, 2009
Dear Rachel, Val, Dante, & Lex,
I can not begin to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. Tony/dad will forever be your Special Guardian Angel protecting and watching over all of you. Please try to find comfort in that.
You have many friends, please call on us to help you in any way.
We Love You !!

Tony,
It was only 4 short weeks ago that you, me, and the rest of the Romeo clan were having the time of our lives at my wedding. It was truly the best day of my life not only for the obvious reasons, but because our family was together and HAPPY. The memory of you on that day will stay with me for the rest of my life. You were always a joy to be around. You always made the people around you laugh and no one else understood my love of cheese steaks or food for that matter the way you did. You will always be loved and missed but never forgotten. I love you always. Addio, Cugino.
Love D

Love you always Tony.

I only met Tony in the fall through the Bonner Father and Sons Club and we hit it off as friends right away. Tony was doing work for my company and was well liked I cannot believe he is gone and I will continue to pray for Tony and also for his family to find the strength to get through this tragedy. All I can offer is my prayers as I don't know what to say or how to make sense of this loss.

To my beloved little brother Tony,
What can i say? All my life i had the words. Right now its very difficult to find some words, but I'm going to try my best. Growing up we were like two big bears in the woods. You were sweet and nice, and i was always on a seek and destroy mission, but you always seemed to calm me down. I don't know now who is going to do that. I'll never forget all the laughs and crazy things we did. I'm going to miss that. Don't worry about your children, I won't let anything or anyone hurt them. i always protected and watched over you growing up. Now it's your job to look over all of us. Have a nice glass of wine up there with our Grandpop. I'll see you when I'll see you, but not yet.
Love Forever,
Saverio

I had the pleasure of working with Tony over the past few years. Tony was an amazing person, who always had his family on his mind, and made them his first priority. We would often exchange stories about Puccini and Cheeks, “our boys”. He always knew how to make people laugh with all his funny stories, cracking jokes and just "being Tony". He was so special and will be missed by all he touched in life. I will always treasure my friendship with Tony. Good friends are the sweetest treasure. Tony may you rest in peace and my deepest sympathy to the entire Romeo family.

Rachel, Lex, Dante, Val, & Romeo Family,
Tony was one of my best and closest friends and I cannot tell you just how much my heart bleeds over this. He was always there when I needed him and I knew that I could count on him when I had a problem. He loved his family and was so proud of you all!! He would talk about how Lex turned into a beautiful young lady, and how Dante was doing so well in sports, and Val how you were the apple of his eye he loved you more than you will ever know. Tony was more than just a friend to me, he was family, he looked out for me and now I get to repay the favor. Rachel if ever you need anything please let me know, I will do all I can for all of you. Goodbye my friend, I will never forget you, I will always love you, and I will miss you for as long as I live. RIP

Dear Rachel, Lex, Dante, Valentina, and Romeo Family,
I cant tell you how much my heart is saddened by this loss. Tony was one of my best and closest friends, and I knew that when I had a problem or things were bad in life that I could always call on him and he would be there for me. That's how I want to remember him, I know that he loved his family and that he was so proud of you all. Whenever I talked to him he would tell me about how Lex grew into a beautiful young lady, and how Dante was doing so well in sports. And Val you were the apple of his eye, he loved you so very much and wanted nothing but the best for you. I will never forget Tony he was truly one of the best friends I ever or will ever have. I love you, miss you, and will never forget you, RIP my friend and may God Bless your soul.

Tony was a co-worker and a friend. I know Tony's love for his children was the driving force in his life. He talked of them often and how proud he was of them. I pray Tony is at peace and is happy. Tony is no longer with us in body but is in spirit. I have no doubt that Tony will be with his children throughout their lives. He will be their guardian angel, guiding them through life's challenges. Tony's spirit and energy has been inspiring to all who knew him. I will miss him!

I can't describe in words how loving my Uncle Tony was. His character and personality was one of a kind. He was a key to many people's smiles, and without him here, unlocking those smiles will be hard. I will miss him with all my heart.
Love,

Dear Romeo Family,
I am truly sorry to hear about Tony. He was a great guy. I am sorry I haven't seen him in awhile or kept in contact with him. I will never forget how loving and caring he was. I keep thinking about seeing him working at T&D Deli and when he went to my prom with me. My favorite story of him was when he brought me over to his house for a real Italian dinner which I thought was just pasta but actually had some kind of funky seafood that I never had before. I remember looking at him saying are you kidding me, do you really think I'm eating this and he just laughed and laughed. May you rest in peace, Tony and God Bless the entire Romeo family.

Dear Rachel, Alexis, Dante, and Valentina,
We have been fortunate to work with your husband and father for the past several years. We were part of a group who had lunch together almost every day. Tony never failed to make everyone laugh with his stories and his gregarious nature. One theme that always came up at lunch was his family. Tony loved you all so much and was so proud of his children, he bragged all the time about your latest accomplishments! Tony was truly a good man who loved his family and his country and wanted nothing more than to work hard and to do right by those he loved. You have our deepest sympathy and we pray for you all in this very sad time.

Not only was Tony my brother but he was also my role model in many ways, he taught me how to be strong and how to live life to its fullest. I cant beleive his not here. I am still waiting for him to come through the door and asking me what I am cooking. He loved to eat. A part of is gone for that I will never be the same again.Tony may u watch down upon us and smile knowing that you were so loved. Your spirit will live for ever.

Dear Rachel, Lexie, Dante and Vallie,
We're all still in shock from the sudden passing of Tony. It's hard to find the words to describe the true meaning of how we are feeling, how saddened we are and how are minds can't seem to understand the "whys" of what has happened. Just a few short weeks ago we were all in our driveway laughing and carrying on. Tony had a way with words, and to this I day I can hear him telling the story (with the heavy Italian accent) of how his brother went all the way to Paoli Hospital instead of Lankenau to pick you guys up after your car broke down! LOL!! What a night of laughs! We were all supposed to go out for drinks, and George is still waiting for Tony so they can talk their "republican" talk....YIKES!! When I told Mia what happened, the first words out of her mouth were "oh no, they were such a cute couple" Rachel, you always brought out the best in Tony, and I'm sure he did the same with you. You two had beautiful children together and they adored him and I KNOW he adored them too. I hope the fond memories of him warm your hearts forever. You know we are here for you always....
our deepest sympathies,
Timi Tikos and family

I worked with Tony for a few years, and he was one of my favorite coworkers. He was always fun and entertaining, but was one of the hardest workers I've ever met. He talked about his family all the time, I can hear him now saying "I love my family. I'd do anything for my wife and kids." Tony will be missed. My thoughts are prayers are with you.

My cousin Tony always had a way of making people laugh and smile. Please watch over us, keep us in your good graces so we can laugh like we used to again. With all those great times we had, and all our fond memories of you Tony...we will think back and always find a way to smile because you'll forever be in our hearts. Your children, your family and your friends love you more than these written words can say and miss you even more. A Dio cugino, you have a special place there for sure and are smiling on us with nonno and nonna...Now and always.

Dear Rachel, Lex, Dante, and Valentina,
Words can't express how sorry we are for your loss and what you are going through right now. Rachel, you know Tony and I worked together at T&D's way back when. He used to tease me and try to make me cry. It was nice to meet up with him again when our girls started school together and see that he had grown up...no more teasing! I could tell right away you made him a better person. I would always see Tony mowing the lawn. That is what he was doing the last time I saw him. Today, Dante was doing the mowing. I think that is when it hit me that Tony is gone. May he rest in peace, may your happy memories be plenty, and may your hearts heal quickly.
Love,
Sue DiGiovanni and Family
