Jeff, wow, it's been so long since I last wrote here. Still greatly miss having you here on earth and in my life. No matter how often or not we talked and saw each other. Some years we were talking, texting, and seeing each other so much and then other years it was far more periodic. That was on me! I know many times I let my job get in the way of family, especially YOU the last few months of your life. I will always regret that. I thank god that I texted with you 2 weeks before you died. Only wish I had saved it. But I didn't it. Can't believe it's been a little over 8 years now. It's so surreal that all this time has passed and how much you have missed. Probably a blessing that you have not had to be here to deal with the world craziness. I wish there was a stairway to heaven because I would RUN right up all of those steps to hug you, kiss my fury baby maltese Tyler, hug our grandparents, cousins, family friends, etc. who passed either before or after you. Please give me a sign today again that you see this and hear me! I have always loved you and cherished the close bond and relationship we had developed over the years. We left nothing UNSAID over the years and for that I am BEYOND grateful. I know how much you loved me and treasured our adult friendship. I LOVE YOU!!!!

I know you're watching over me from heaven, but you NOT being here on earth still cuts like a knife. So many things going on in my life. It's a time where I have to be so strong, break free from a sad situation, and build a happier and healthier life for myself. I know you are proud of me. I feel it in my soul. But please send me a sign. I really need your support and love! Going through these personal changes is scary. I have mom and dad and Larry, my friends, etc. But I still need you the most!

In the blink of an eye, I never got to say goodbye. Like a shooting star flying across the room, so fast so far. You were gone too soon. You're a part of me, and I'll never be the same here without you. You were gone too soon.

Jill Cascarano

October 21, 2019

God, I have missed you so much. Seven years yesterday of that horrible afternoon when nothing made sense anymore. I still can't believe you are gone from this world. I know you are always with me. I thank god you appear in many of my dreams. My grief continues. I wish I had others to share funny and happy stories and even crappy ones. I don't. It's just a void that will never go away until I see you in heaven again. I promise to never forget you and keep your memory alive. Love you, Jeff!!!!!! My beautiful big brother.

I'm sure you and grandma hang every day

I love and miss you so much. It's been 6 and 1/2 months of such emotional pain without having my big brother here. I want to call, text, and visit you all the time. I want you to see me singing, see that I had articles published, share funny tidbits, and chat about life, our mutual outlook on things, belief in the angels, etc. Now more than ever with each passing day. My heart is just eternally broken. Although life goes on, I'll never stop wanting to go back in time to change the past and have you be alive and well. I get so choked up when I post messages here. I feel like if I believe it enough, you will suddenly appear in real life - not just my dreams. In one instance, you were just gone. And I have to live with that until it's my time to join you all in heaven. Until then my heart and soul remains shattered.

I hope you had an amazing 57th birthday in heaven yesterday. I wished you happy birthday in other ways then just writing here. Of course I have no one to share in remembering you. That makes this whole nightmare that much worse. To me, you will be age 51 forever. For that is when the angels called you home. I love and miss you everyday. The longer you are gone, the more I miss you. People think it's easy to just move on from the loss after a certain time period. And I suppose it once was when I was much younger and others died. But your death was completely different and affected me profoundly. I know you have been at peace since 10/20/2012. I look forward to the day when we reunite again.

Jill Cascarano

May 24, 2018

It's been over 8 months since I last posted. I can't believe it. I still think of you every single day, Jeff. I continue to miss you the longer you are gone. The void never goes away. I just look at your handsome face and die a little inside each time. I felt like lighting a candle tonight just because it feels right. My hope is this whole time you can see all this from heaven. That is what keeps me from really losing my mind. Forever in my heart. Love you so much.

So sorry I didn't post Happy Birthday here on the actual day of 8/24. But I posted elsewhere - specifically in a closed group I found online for those of us who have lost siblings. I cried hysterically about a week ago one night before I left my work parking lot. It was a Friday night. I just had to get out the agony again so I could breathe better. I feel so alone in my grief. I wish I had people to share the good and fun memories with but I don't. Sharing the not so good times but maybe laughing more than previous years. Sharing anything about you. Knowing how much my immediate family misses you as much as I do. Love can be complicated. But our relationship was 100% unconditional love. And for that, I thank god. After all this time, your loss still sits on my heart like an elephant. I live life the best I know how and can, but it's never been the same without you here. The longer you are gone, the more I miss you and want to talk to you. Text you. See you in person again. It was not supposed to be like this. Your sudden death changed my whole reality. Anyway, I hope you know all the ways I have been keeping your memory and spirit alive. And how I tell your heart health life story to anyone who will listen. If nothing else, by sharing your story maybe I can save someone else's early death. I love you soooo much, my dear brother. Still can't believe you've been gone.

Jill Cascarano

May 23, 2017

Missing you beyond words. I can't believe how much time has passed since 10/20/12. There have been so many things I miss about you and our relationship as brother and sister and friends. Feeling so very sad. I don't think my grief will ever stop. I think of you all the time. More than you will ever know. But I do hope you are watching over me from heaven. Love you so much!!! It wasn't your time to go, that I know, but the angels took you anyway. I would give anything to have you here on earth. Thank god when you come to me in my dreams. It means the world to me because I get to see you.

Jeff, my company made a huge corporate donation to the American Heart Association in honor of American Heart Month. I think of both Nana and you during this time. Nana was the first in our immediate family to die of heart failure and you were the last one. And, of course, you also know I lost my Tyler boy to heart failure a little over year before you died. I hope my Maltese baby has been hanging close by your side in heaven. Today I am struggling physically and emotionally. It is just one of those days when I wish I could be where you are and all passed loved ones and be healthy and happy. And at peace like you are. I wish I could make my way up there for one day and feel excited and full of life.

Our last picture together.

This past Thursday, 10/20, was another sad anniversary of your death. Can't believe it has been 4 years since I last saw you, held your hand, and kissed your forehead. In those moments, you were already about to cross over into heaven. I never stop missing you and wishing I could bring you back. I cherish the memories of and with you, the brother and friend you had become to me, our laughs, our heart to heart conversations, etc. I am so happy when you appear in my dreams at night. You will live on in my heart and soul forever. Love you, Jeff!

Jill Cascarano

October 3, 2016

Jeff - I will never understand all of this. Need you here on this earth. Almost 4 years have gone by, and it hurts more every day. So sad, mad, and just plain missing the brother who had become a true, good friend, confidante, protector, encourager, and laugh buddy. Missing even the crap times with you. How pathetic is that?! LOL. Sending love and hugs.

Hi, Jeff! This quote below is from my health coaching program and immediately made me think of you, dear brother. I hope you can see this from heaven. I miss you all the time. The pain never goes away. But I know you are at peace, free, and happy where you are...and that gives me great comfort. I love you!!! And thanks for appearing in my dreams when I most need you to be. I know it's a sign from you. Keep flying with those angel wings!

I'm committed to a life worth
living, to creating new things,
and to becoming all I have yet
to become. I understand that
mistakes, setbacks, and failures
will be part of my journey. As
such, I am committed to dealing
and learning to deal with them in
a way that is healthy, productive,
and conducive to picking myself
up, dusting myself off, and
moving forward in my life. I will
not take them primarily as signs
that I should stop or that I am a
loser I will first take them as a
sign that I am endeavoring to be
something different, something
more, than I was yesterday. This
is good.
I intend to be a successful
person that means I will take
failure as a signal that success
is farther down the road.

Jeff!!! I have missed you so much that I cannot stand it. At a time in our lives when really both planning on making our dreams come true it is just devastating you aren't here to do that and be my brother, friend, confidante, and on and on. You should have been able to reap some new and wonderful times with me and your girls and grandkids in Florida. Your kids lost out on some much more time with you. I lost out. Everyone who loved you lost out. I need to call you and I cannot do that. I want to hear your voice and laugh and hear your caring concern, but I cannot do that either. You could be helping me grow my my career right now. Building my businesses and need your encouragement and support. I would have been there every step of the way if only you had lived. They say time heals all wounds. I don't think any amount of years passing by will ever lessen your void. So so sad and I need you here.

Jill Cascarano

October 21, 2015

Jeff - It's so hard to believe that yesterday sadly marked 3 years that you have been gone. I think about you every single day. Although I'm still present in this life and moving forward as best I can, it is just not the same without you here. I don't know how many more times I can possibly say how much I love and miss you. I hope you can see or feel it from heaven. I would give anything to be able to spend one last day with you, but obviously that cannot never happen. May your smile, laugh, handsome face, strong, humble, loving and caring self continue to make other souls happy where you are. I will never get over losing my big brother or not have this anger inside about your life being cut down so young. But I strive everyday to keep going, make my aspirations and dreams come true, and make you proud. You were one of my biggest fans in my pursuit to write articles, novels, and stories. I hope you can see I have finally been published and more to come! Keep watching over me and know you are always in my heart AND soul. I will never ever forget you until we reunite again.

Jill Cascarano

Wishing you a very happy 54th birthday, Jeff! I wish I could tell you this here on earth, but I can only hope that you hear me from the other side. It's been a very tough few days once again. Continue resting in peace and having eternal joy and health in heaven. Miss you forever and ever, my handsome brother.

July 16, 2015

Jeff I realize I will forever miss u! I will never have a connection like we had. I heard breathe today and ironically couldn't catch my breathe! Xo

Every road you take will always lead you home

Hi, Jeff! I had an amazing 4th of July with Tony, mom and dad, and my Cascarano family in Hingham. A few beautiful souls you know made their way to heaven yesterday and today. Ilene Silver and Aunt Paulene. Cousin Ellen sent me this pic. Love and miss you every single day of my life.

Wow I have not written anything here in 7 months. I love that I can always come back and write to you at any time as long as I keep this legacy memorial site going. I am missing you so much right now. Miss you every single day, Jeff, but felt the need to come here tonight. After all this time, I still keep hoping I will wake up from this bad dream and you will be here. I found a note today that I had scribbled down many months ago to myself. I wrote "It still feels like a dream. Can't believe you're not here. The last thing I held was your hand in my hand. It's all I have left of you. Those strong hardworking hands". This was about the very last time I physically saw you and was holding your hand in mine in the hospital after you died. Sometimes I feel like your life and our relationship never existed the longer you are gone. I hate this feeling whether it's in the background each day or when the memories and emotion slam me in the face like right now. Miss you so much. Just want to text or talk to you. I know that your suffering ended on 10/20/12, but it does not lessen the pain and sorrow for me. I know I will see you again one day, but I wish it was here on earth now. Love you forever, big brother.

No act of god can pull me away from you. I think of you every day and miss my big brother so much. I cherish all the memories I have (the good, the not so good, the great ones, all of it), but what I wouldn't give to have you here on earth again even for one day. I can't believe two years has passed as of tomorrow since you died. I hope I see you in my dreams tonight. Please drop in from heaven to give me a hug and smile. I know that you are looking down from heaven and so proud of me right now and encouraging and supporting me from where you are. Jeff - As long as I breathe in the air, you will live on in my heart. I love you!

September 24, 2014

Jeff I found a picture of you and chris, I think he was about 6 and when I showed it to him he said remember how every time we saw a movie or picture of george clooney I thought it was jeff! Chris thought u were in the tv and then say can they come over after this is over! So long ago. I was making meatballs the other day and I always remember u saying the best ingredient was the love that went in that made them taste so good. Always think of you! Jill just saw ur message and id love to chat. Janet

At 12:00 am. you will turn 53 years old up there in heaven. Happy birthday! I'm listening to Myley Cyrus' beautiful song called "When I Look At You". I am thinking of you!!!!! I hope you can see this or feel it. You would love the words to this song and get all choked up. You were in my dreams last night again. I cherish seeing you. I know you are with me and talking to me right now when I need to talk to you the most. But it will never be right without you on this earth. I love you. I hope you are enjoying celebrating your birthday in heaven with all our relatives and family friends.

Janet - When I read your entry it brought me to tears and I know Jeff would be so happy to know how much he is missed. Please feel free to contact me at 617.413.1603 any time. I miss him so much. Jeff - I love you and wish I could see you and talk to you even one more time. I am just glad I get to see you in my dreams every so often. It helps :). Love you!!!

June 27, 2014

Wow - it's been over 6 months since I last wrote here. I miss you so much. There are no words to explain no matter how long you continue to be gone that this hole in my heart and soul will remain. I try to focus on the fact that you must be at complete peace in heaven and are smiling down on me. It does not make my missing you any less painful. I have wished that I could still text you, email with you, talk to you, and see you in person. When you appear in my dreams periodically, I wake up feeling both happy and sad because I get to be with you in my dreams but then I have to wake up to this sad reality that you are never coming back. When I see a butterfly near, I know that it is you dropping by to check in and let me know you are still near and miss me too. I love you!!!! I miss you more than ever with each passing day. I still can't believe that you died. It is so hard for my heart to process this even though it is obviously the reality. I have been in grief counseling the past few months and it helps somewhat. You will always be 51 years old to me. I thank god every day that you and I had and still have this unbreakable connection as adults and the last few years before you left us we left nothing unsaid and could confide in each other about everything and laugh and vent. I regret not making every effort to meet up with you and chat for hours as much as you would have liked the last 7 months of your life. But I know that you would want me to give myself a break already and not struggle with that guilt. I hope to see you in my dreams tonight happy and healthy again. You always show up when I really need to physically see you. RIP, my handsome sweet brother.

You and cousin Teddy at Dad's 50th birthday party. What a fun night! You had a blast.

Jeff - I want you back!!! Life goes on since you died, but not a day goes by that I don't think of you and yearn for you to come back to family and friends and to have you in my life. I miss you more and more with every passing month. I have never experienced such prolonged and relentless grief for anyone else who has passed before you that I loved very much too. But our relationship that changed and developed over the years became so special to me and to you. I would give anything to see you again and get one of your brotherly affectionate hugs and a kiss. Love you.

Jeff - Thank you for coming to me in my dreams again last night when I needed see you. I miss you so much. It's hard to believe that you've been gone one year already. I hope that you have been eternally at peace and all your hopes and dreams for yourself have finally come true. Everything you and I have shared in conversations, I continue to take with me to the grave, my handsome brother and trusted friend. RIP, Jeff. xoxo

Jill Cascarano

September 11, 2013

Jeff - I don't even know what to say anymore. I still can't believe you are gone. I see you everywhere and can still hear the sound of your voice. These moments of intense grief come and go. It still feels like a nightmare that I will wake up from and you will be alive again and things will be back to normal. It was not perfect at all in this life, but you had many people who loved you and good friends and the kids. I know they meant everything to you. I know how much you valued our friendship and connection. Every time I want to text or email or call you, it makes me so sad. Mom says I am lucky that I keep seeing the best of you in my dreams the past few weeks. That is true, and it gives me comfort. I miss you and our relationship in the present day. One day it will get better and less painful. One day I will stop expecting you to text me or email me at work or call me, or tell me you are in the area and do I want to meet you for dinner. I know that I keep using the guest book to just get my thoughts out but it helps me to do this. You know how much I want you to be eternally happy. I wish I could visit you and many other family members and friends who have passed. RIP. xoxo forever.

Happy birthday, Jeff!!! You would have been 52 years old today. Mom, dad, Larry, and I are meeting up at the lake in Sharon in honor of your birthday and to talk and remember the good times. We are all going to be sending white "Happy Birthday" balloons up into the sky to reach you in heaven. That was my idea. Keep a look out for a special message on my balloon. Love and miss you as my brother, but even more as my friend. We love you. I love you so much.

August 24, 2013

Happy birthday, Jeff!!! 52 years old today. Mom, dad, Larry, and I are meeting up to honor your memory at Lake Massapoag in Sharon at 5 p.m. today. Mom bought 4 balloons that say Happy Birthday. I am going to write you a message on my balloon in black marker. I hope you get those balloons. We'll be sending them into the sky to reach you in heaven. Miss you so much as my brother and friend. Love you!!

Jeff - You have been in my dreams almost every night the past week. I am blessed that you and I can still see each other and have conversations although you are so very far away. I still can't believe that you are gone since 10/20/12. I love you, and know you are watching over me - your baby sistah forever. --- missing you always. It's just not the same without you here. I don't know why you had to leave so soon. It's heartbreaking for everyone who had the chance to know the person you had become and more and more caring and loving as the years passed. I know your fight is over, and I can only hope that you are in a very happy place. God rest your soul.

I had such a great dream about you last night. You were alive. You had been revived in your navigator and had open heart surgery and were alive and happy. I hugged and hugged you. It felt so real. Very surreal and sad that it has been 9 long months since your heart gave out. I miss you every day. I hope and pray you can see all this from heaven. I love you and continue to hold you close to me. I miss our connection and unconditional love and our confident chats and laughs.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. I miss you so much and can't let you go. Your death has been so very hard. They say that time helps heal all wounds, but this one is much deeper and more complicated than any other. It tears my heart out. But I know you are in a better place my brave brother.

Jill Cascarano

May 23, 2013

Over 7 months now since you went to heaven. It still is hard to comprehend. Jeff - I would give anything to hear your voice again, to hear you say my name, to see you, text and email with you. If my tears and prayers could only bring you back. Continue to rest in peace, and please always watch over me and everyone who you love. God took you home early so you can rest and be eternally at peace. Miss you and that brave smile, big brother.

It will be 5 months tomorrow since your passing, and it still hurts as bad as on the day you died. You live on in my heart everyday, Jeff. The only comfort I have is knowing that you are resting in peace eternally with the angels and that you are watching over me and all those you loved.

Jeff
It's been over 26 years since we've seen each other last. I sadly regret that we never had the chance to reconnect. I can only hope that you knew in your heart that I have always loved you as a brother. I've thought of you often through the years and have held dear what we had together as childhood friends. I will never forget you Jeff and never forget what we shared. May you forever have peace my friend.
With love your old pal
Barry
My deepest condolences to the Kaplan family
