This popped up in my email and my tears just started flowing down my cheeks. I still have my 16th birthday card you gave me and i reread it from time to time and your words always brought closure to my heart. We miss you dearly and i know you have some amazing company up there. Until we meet again.. your little sister

No matter how much time has gone by without you - I can still hear your voice, see your smile and clearly remember just sitting in the steps for hours - doing nothing but yet having the best day with you! I´ll never know why you were taken so young - it will never make sense. Love you always!

I will never get over our world being turned upside down in an instant losing you. My heart will forever ache and constantly yearn for you. It can be 1 year, 3, 9, or 15 I will always want you by my side and miss you as I did the day you left. I don´t know if I´ll ever be the same person I was when you were here, I try but I don´t think I´ll ever get there. I love and miss you endlessly. Love forever your only little sister

Hi Sissy, thank you for watching over me and protecting me like you have always done. I know you were with me, thank you for saving me. To say I miss you is an understatement. My heart yearns for you. I miss you, your laughter, your smile, our talks. I miss growing older with you. I never thought I wouldn’t have you as we grew older. It’s a sad reality. I’ll miss you forever. I love you too the moon back and forever 831.

My dearest sister, seems like forever anyone has wrote to you on here. I pray everyday you and Philip are dancing in heaven. I pray you are both laughing, telling jokes, he's having a dirty martini and your having a cosmo. You're both smiling all the time. I pray you and him give me the strength to go on.. I don't know how to live without you both. It seems like with each passing day it gets harder and harder. Please give me the strength sissy. I love and miss you forever 831.

Hey mommy,
There is so much I wish I could call and tell you. Growing up without you has left my heart permanently broken. I wish I could call you and ask you how you are, how's your day, and help with some cooking. I just got a boyfriend a few months ago and we talk a lot about how much we wish you guys met. Him and I have a new hobby, which is cooking. While in the kitchen today I was reminiscing about your recipes and cook books. I wish I was able to learn from you and you teach me all your secrets and tricks. One day. .
I love you always
February 3, 2017
Not a day goes by when I don't think about you. It's been almost 12 years and you not being here still has me at a loss for words. I wonder what you'd look like now, how you'd age, what life would be like if you were still here. All questions I don't think will ever be answered. I miss you and hope you're enjoying heaven. Love you always.

My sister, there is not a day that I don't miss you and yearn for you. I could listen to your voice on the phone over and over again. So many memories yet we weren't done making more. A part of me died with you and I will never be the same. People come people go, no one truly stays.. I know you're so proud of the way your children turned out. I love them as if they were mine, and I know you would do the same. Our bond could never be broken, you're my sister, my best friend, and my idol. I miss you more today than yesterday. I love you too the moon and back forever!!!! Your little sister

Dear Aunt Kim,
I miss you more than words can say. I am reminded of you all the time, more than I ever imagined. I always remember your kindness, beauty, and love. You were an amazing mother and aunt. I wish you didn't have to leave us too early, but you made a lasting impression on my heart and on the hearts of everyone who knew you. I remember one year for Christmas you got me body glitter from Victoria's Secret and I thought it was the coolest thing bc I was maybe 13, and I still have the glitter. It makes me smile because I remember your thoughtfulness and your smile when you gave it to me. I love you and miss you very very much. You are forever in my heart. ❤
Love always,
Katrina

Hi beautiful, I've been thinking of you recently.. you're forever on my mind but recently more then ever. So it popped in my mind to write to you. I just miss you. I miss your jokes and the stupid things you would tell me just to make me smile or the songs you would sing. You may have not been my "blood" aunt but you were more than an aunt you were my other bestfriend along with your daughter and my life along with everyone else's just hasn't been the same since you left us eight years ago. Everyday I smile because I know that you're somewhere, you're here with me. I can't see you but I know when I need a smile you find a way to make it happen like you always did. Denise is my inspiration, you would be so proud of her today.. we are still as close as we were when we were little, she is still my sister and i am always here for her, by her side. Everytime I see her I think of you because she looks more and more like you every time I see her.I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you and i love you so much. You're forever on my mind. I hope I am making you proud. Please keep watching over me. Forever my beautiful guardian angel.
December 7, 2013
My dearest sister... Eight years have flew by. It feels like yesterday this nightmare happened. Everyday is a struggle without you and I will forever miss you. When I need you the most I know your there. Selfishly I want you here so I can hug you speak to you play w ur hair. Anything for just one more minute. I love you to the moon and back and my heart is with you forever.

My Dearest Sister,
My best friend my only true best friend.. Im learning now that maybe I never had anyone to really trust but you... Thats why it's called a "sisters" bond. I had you for some many years and one morning your gone. I can't help to be selfish, because I'm still angry GOD took you. You were just starting your life over, newly divorced. I was so happy for you. Why can't I dream of you??? Why can't I see your beautiful face?? I will forever have a part of my heart missing, forever have this heartache of losing you. I just want you to know you are an exceptional mother, sister, daughter, friend, etc.. I will mourn you until the day I die... Philip has a "heaven" tree up in my house it's your tree. He loves you so much. I will never ever let him forget you!! Ever. Kevin and Denise are doing well Kevin is working as a lifeguard and Dee Dee just hangs out mainly home mostly with me. KimMarie, they are great kids. Mommy and Daddy really are doing a good job. I'm there all the time. I'm helping raising them also. Chris and Michelle also take Denise, Kevin likes to be with his friends now. Ralph is very busy with work but spends his free time with them. You are forever in my heart, a part of my heart has gone when you died. I love you forever and a day. Your only sister. Lauren

Nancy, I'm Lauren, George's Other daughter. I read this entry to my father, he was beyond inconsoleable as I was in a good way. It is beautiful. He asked me to give you his telephone # I will give you my email address [email protected] and give you his # from there. Thank you for your kind words.

I never met Kim but her dad and I rode in the same van to work in the city every day. Its been years since ive spoken to George and just learned by chance of Kim's passing. At the time of this writing there are 516 entries and I read every one of them.
It is very apparent to me that all of the tropiano children are filled with love and loyalty to each other...this a true testiment to the love and lessons learned from their parents. I salute you both.
My heart breaks for all of you and given how lovingly George always spoke of all his children I just know a piece of that mans heart is gone.
I will keep you all in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss.

It is 4/14/09, just for the heck of it I googled Kim's name to see if I could reach out to her. I just got the surprise of my life. I am so sorry for your loss. I am even more sorry for all the time that has passed by and out of touch we have been. So many years have gone by and I have thought about you all alot. From reading all of the memories that everyone has left, I know that she was and is still very much loved. There hasn't been a day that has gone by that I didn't think about all of the summers that we spent together. All of the meatballs and pinwheels that you made me eat. I am so very pleased to see that she has touched so many lives throughout her young life. She was taken away before I got to get in touch with her and tell her that I loved her very much too. I will pray everyday that she is in a better place and looking down on everyone. Especially her husband and children and brothers and sister, and especially both of you. You have a wonderful daughter and we all have wonderful memories. I know I do. I hope you all are well.
Love always,
