You've been on my mind so much lately. I imagine that you all are so happy in Heaven and I can't wait to see that smile on your face again. I wish you were here to see the baby, I know he would adore you, just like Morgan does. I love you and miss you so much.

babe,
i just cant let go of the past babe, I tell myself every night when i write in my journal to you, that this all just a dream that youre going to read all my letters and come back to me but at the end when i close my book and put my pen down, reality kicks in and i realize youre not coming back, but we will one day reunite. We have 2 beautiful children that are the greatest thing God has blessed me with my memories of you are all right here.I wanted to put your ashes in bed with me last night but i just couldnt. I often wonder, do you miss me babe? Are you happy. I wish I just couldve told you I loved you one last time and for you to tell me it will all be ok like you always did.Am i doing a good enough job raising our babies? well im going to go for now, ill write later, i promise send me a sign that you miss me or think about me like i do ok , please im so lonely but i will stay strong for our babies like you would want me to. you have alot to be proud of love your wife always tracy

babe,
well here it is our anniversary.I wish so bad you were sitting with us. The kids and I are going to celebrate it together. You should see how beautiful my ring is they bought for me. It seems like it was just yesterday we were sitting on the couch and your chair watching our movies. I cant even watch anything we used to watch before. If only I could turn things back the way they were. You always promised me you would never leave me. But God needed you more than us.There are so many things i wish i could say to you its just so hard to write in here.Ive been my own personal journal. i know youre looking down to us i know how proud you are of our kids, how nice the house you would be impressed.
December 28, 2010
Hey Rick just thought I would send you some love. Hope everything is well with you up above. I talked to Tracy on Christmas, it was so nice to hear her voice, I haven't talked to her in about 8months. Little Bofo sounds so grown up. I miss you Bofo, I miss your humor I miss just talking to you. Well Merry Christmas and I will talk to you later
Take care my friend

Ok well here it is December 26, I wanted to wait until today to write in hrre so I didn't ruin everyones day and upset them all. I had one of the best Christmases ever since you left us. Just really had a wonderful time like we used to have, the best part was when we all layed around last night and watched a disney movie. Just the fact that we were all together laughing and having a good no great time was absolutly priceless. Better than any gify any mother could have, no 40 dollar ham or 200 dollar outfit could beat every one just laying around drinking pepsi 3 on the couch 3 on your chair wayching a disney movie in pajamas and sweats is what was the best part. I miss you more and more each day. I thought it was going to get easie insteadits gotten harder each and every day. That's why I havnt wrote on here in so long, my therapist told me to write you letters like a journal, as you can see. The kids are great. I love and miss you more than you will ever know, but I know we will be together soon love tracy

well babe, i know its been awhile but my therapist told me i need to try what i feel is right. Things here at home have been great, the kids are wonderful, everyone is getting along great.you would love DJ's girlfriend. She treats him like gold. They remind me so much of us starting out.. I spent 20 of my best years with you. I often wionder how things could be right now with us.I know I wouldn't beas lonely as i am. I'm not able to write too much on here, its still too hard for me. I still cry everynight about holding you one lasttime, but i know oneday i will. I can't beleive its coming upon 2 years that you left us,I miss you so much it hurts to hearyour name, these kids look so much like you, baby we are blessed.I'm going to say goodnight for now but i promise I'm going to try and write on here everyday like i used too. It was just too much for me they say it gets easier with time, i cant wait tillthe time we're together again, thankk God for our babies or we would've already been reunited. If you don't get anything from me for a while , i have to wait to renew your page but i promise you i will even if it takes awhile... Give Jamie, Ron, Jess, my mom n tata a kiss from us and know you are loved love your loving wife forever, Tracy

Roses grow in Heaven, Lord, pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Daddy's arms and tell him they're from me. Tell him that I love & miss him & when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek & hold him for awh...ile. Remembering him is easy, I do it everyday. There's an ache within my heart... that will never go away.

Tell Ron happy fathers day and i kiss n love him. give jamie, jess tata n my mom a kiss please.. I hope you know i do kiss your urn at least twice a day. Please give me the strength to go about my days i cant live without uyou, i keep waiting for you to walk in my door but i know its not going to happen,but i can dream whatever i want to right?

Dear daddy,
Im sorry I havent signed this thing yet. Its been over a year & a half & its still hard to come on here. Daddy I miss you so much. There's so many things i wish i could tell you. especially right now. I wish I could just have a day to spend with you & tell you all the things that have happened since you've been gone. You would be so proud of me, mommy, & dj. We're doing everything we can to be a family again but its so hard without you. Theres not a day that goes by that i dont think of you. I even keep a picture of me & you in my wallet from the day I was born to remind me of all the great times we had together. Daddy I cant do this anymore. im literally breaking down trying to write to you. Its starting to hit me now that ill never see you again. I always try to pretend that your just at work or something then reality hits me. I wish god could just give me you back. every day just gets harder & harder but its making me stronger. Anyway, I'm almost done with 9th grade! Only 13 more days of this, then im gonna be a Sophmore. & as of now, im still getting the Pittsburgh Promise. Its a program that if I maintain a 2.5 or above grade point average for my highschool years, I get 40,000 dollars towards college :D woooo ! Dominic is doing great too! He has his own apartment in brookline & is working 2 jobs. & mommy is doing great too. I wasnt expecting her to do this great without you. It gets hard for her sometimes & she struggles, but she does what she has to do to keep food on the table. You would be so proud of all 3 of us, I pinky promise. We're all taking each day one step at a time, & hopefully it gets better. Just please continue to watch over me & ill be with you as soon as I can. I love you so much daddy. Please help me <3.

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again.. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

I have you in my heart.. i love you so much baby i'm really having a difficult time right now

January 16, 2010
Still Missing You
They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
when we were all together
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever.
We love you forever.

Ricky - You are deeply missed. It has been 1 year and it is a very sad time for your family. Tim will be up in Pittsburgh this week to be with the rest of the family -he is always good at getting everyone to laugh and smile -so his visit should help brighten the spirits of your loved ones that are having a tough time right now.

One year later and I still can't even believe you're gone. It still kills me, and I still miss you more than anything. I know you wouldn't want us to be sad, so we're gonna try to stay strong, just for you. Everyone misses you, but I mean, why wouldn't they? You always had a way to make everyone happy. You put other people's happiness before your own. I love you, and I can't wait to see you. <3

A year ago today, i remember coming up your house to pick Alyssa up and you sitting on your porch with tears in your eyes. You handed me a letter from Alyssa to put under Jamie's urn. I could just see the heartbreak in your eyes. Crazy to think that in just 8 days from then, we would lose you, too. This is still so unbelieveably hard for our whole family. I love you so much and just wish so much that things could have been different. I love you guys so much.

Babe I am just sitting here thinking about you like I do a million times a day.Its coming up on a year and i am emotionally a mess. i finally talked to mommy the other day ago. I told her how hard it is to talk to her or really anyone for the most part. it is a little harder talking to mom dad or any of your brothers or meghan. I love them all just as much as i always did and always wil its just i dont know hurts to hear their voices because the void is missing. everything is a trigger of you. i smelt a sweatshirt you use to wear in my cupboard and i fel on my knees and cried.I smelt you I felt you.I wanted to hold you right then and there like always.The kids are doing real well in shool. alyssa is going to homecoming and running for 9th grade homecoming like Dominic won in 9th grade. He will have the diploma you always drempt of him having, in pbly a month or so. He may not have done it in June but Im very prouid they didnt give up. all our neices and nephews are doing well. I need you to pray for us down here also. Please give our loved ones a kiss for me.I hope your watching your language up ther you have the big Guy watching you so you better. I feel sometimes making a joke here and there helps my greiving beause Im having a rough time here. ive beome unsocialible again like i stay to myself alot i know its not healthy for me but i go to get on the phone and just hang up like i shelter up inside.I am going to go back to therapy again soon my legs have gotten muh worse then what they were I feel like i have one of my tumors wrapped around nerves in my knees beause NOTHING helps.If Im not hurting entally everyday Im hurting physically. if im not writing for a minute i have to renew your book so it may take a while but im going to renew it ok. well its 345 a.m. i better try and sleep. I always kiss your urn goodnight everynight without fail then the kids, then Jack Lamberts pix you bought me. Love you, tracy

dear daddy,
I miss you so much. I can't believe its almost a year. I started high school this September & so far I'm doing really good just how you'd want me to. I pray everyday hoping somehow you could come home. I still don't understand why God had to take you away from me. There's a lot of things i regret & wish i could take back but i know every thing happens for a reason. And thats why your not here with me anymore. God didn't like to see you struggling down here & thought that you would be better off in heaven. Thats one thing i agree on. But i just don't understand why it had to happen the way it did. I never thought i would have to look at a marble box on my mantel to see my daddy at the age of twelve. It hurts knowing that I'll never see you again. Well not never, just for a while. But until that day comes, i will always love & remember you. & Thats a promise. I can't wait to see you again.
Love, Alyssa.

Just a few thing I need to get off my chest. I don't miss you. Because miss doesn't say how I feel. You were my favorite Uncle and there will never be another. You're not here. In my life. That's something I know. Will never be right... You should be here. To listen. And understand, to give me a lot of advice, to make me smile when I'm sad. To crack jokes about other people when we drive. To say "Hey!" and look the other way while we do it in the car. To tell me things, from you to me. For you to see and to laugh when I make a good jokes (haha). To be there whenever I need you. We haven't did a lot of stuff together. But the day we do, we will do everything! And just to think. I will be done with school in one more year. It breaks my heart to know that you will not be there at my party telling me how proud you are that I made it. I know if I was dj I couldn't do it without you. Summer o summer is almost here. The old days I miss. When me, you, and dj would play football, catch a baseball or even trying to show you how to skateboard. Will break my heart even more. For me to go up your house. Is hard I try to hold my head up high like a nose bleed that will never stop. Because I know you will never be there to say "What up cuzz". And I always think that your on a road trip and will be coming home soon. But that will never come true. One day it will. And till that day, I will try my best to fix my act up as best as I can. Till next time I write you. I love you & miss you soo much.
P.s It's raining and it wasn't raining till I started to cry. I know your right with me every step I take like I'm your own child.
Love always,
<3

Daddy Bofo, I've been thinking about you so much lately. It's hard to be without you. I miss you so much. It's crazy how hard it is here without you. Tracy got out of the hospital from her knee surgery. She's in alot of pain, but don't worry, I'll be there for her. I miss you more than you can even imagine and I love you Ricky. <3

hey daddy,
i'm sorry i haven't written on here in a while, i try avoiding it. i've been crying a lot lately & i know reading the stuff on here will only make it worse. i wish i could just have one day with you. i want to let you know everything that's been going on in my life & i wish you could give me your advise & help me through it. i miss you so much daddy. i miss coming home & hearing you say, "aye lyss lemme listen to that one song on your i pod". i miss all the funny things you used to do. & you always had a way to make people laugh. but i guess you can share your humor with the people in heaven now haha. i can't wait till the day that i see you again. every day i'm getting one step closer. & speaking of getting closer, high school is only a few months away! i'm going to carrick but trust me i'm not gonna give up. my grades will still be the same as they always have. i'm still going to make you proud & make you tell the people in heaven, "that's my baby". i remember all those times when i was younger when you told me that "no matter what happens, your always going to be my baby & you'll always have a special place in my heart. trust me daddy, for as long as i live, i will never forget that. your the best dad i could ever ask for & so much better. but i think im going to lay down, i don't fell too good :/ well i love you daddy & you'll always be in my heart.
Love: Alyssa (your baby)

Why hello there God's favortite angel ! So as Im sure you know, God has called upon one of my friend Maggie. She is going to be God's beautifulest angel. Yet she is going to be new to some things up there and may often times feel lonely .. maybe sad ? Can you please show her around , teach her how to fly ! She got her wings yesterday and now she can soar with you. I love you so much Uncle Rick.
Keep it eye out for her ! She needs you
Watch over me and listen for my prays.

Ricky, this is crazy. It's been almost five months and I still can't believe. Sometimes I'd be laying in bed thinking about you and I think to myself "He's not gone." It's seriously something I'd never expect. I still miss you more than anything. I still feel the worst pain I've ever felt, like I'm missing something. You were a second dad to me, but more like a best friend. I told you literally everything and I wish I could change time, to spend one more day with you. I love you so much and there's no one in this world that will ever take your place in my heart. I will still feel the same pain I felt the day God called you home. I love you and I miss you.

think back on all the smiles and special times...
take comfort in knowing
that the beauty of those moments never really goes away...
understanding that nothing,
not even death
can seperate two hearts that knew true love.

life has been hectic around my way for quite some time , as you know , so i havent had much to do much of anything. i often think of you throughout my day for the fact that your favorite song is my ringtone and your picture is hangin up on my closet. i wonder how heaven is treating you , send me a sign of some sort to let me know that your ok. please watch after my sister, she is growing up so fast and i just want you to take care of her while im here at school. i love her so much and i love you too! goodbyes arent forever , even after you leave this earth , you live through the memories and the spirits of the people who remember. i hope you sent aunt trace some sort of sign on valentines day, i know she probably missed the hell out of you that. soulmates is what you were and when the time comes for her to go into heaven, i know you will be at the gate awaiting her arrival. can you make sure my dad is safe on his flights to and from florida for me ? well until next time , miss and love you uncle rick.
your heavens favorite angel now.

hi babe,sorry,I havnt been on in a while.
It seeems like yesterday,even though its been 4 months ago, I saw
your face,your loving body so full of grace.I cherish the memories,all of the times we shared.It took so little to prove you cared.Rick, we think of you often,, at least everyday,there are so many things I wished I could say. I'm saving them babe for that one special day, and the time will come for us to reunite as one. I sit alone often at times and cry, and ask the same old question, why?Why did he take you and leave us apart? Memories of you are in my heart.The sun may shine,the rain may fall,without you, I have nothing at all.I miss your hand you gave me to hold, when I was sad, alone or cold.Our time will come to meet in the sky, until then, I'll sit and cry.
I love and miss you more each day, baby.
Love you Your wife and best friend Tracy

So this will be the first time I ever wrote on your wall. I could not bring myself around to doing it just , it still didnt sink in that you were really gone. School has been good, alot of papers to write but hey thats life I will get over that. Gotta make the family proud... you know how that goes. Well to fill you in on my life, not that your not watching , I got myself a new boyfriend. Yes finally over Derrick lol. He is really nice , respectful , loves my family and yours as well. I know he just would have loved you. He treats me really good. What is weird is that I met him the weekend after your funeral.. maybe YOU had something to do with putting this great man into my life.. THANKS a bunch , i owe ya one! Everyone here is fine just making it through day by day. I just listened to your song MY LIFE alittle bit ago and thought of you. I think of you often and pray for you everynight. Whenever someone calls I think of you and sometimes want to laugh or cry because I miss you so much. I like to think of myself as the tester baby for you and Aunt Trace. Since you both would always take me around like I was your own. The past few years of your life were hard for me and Im sure you as well. I just could not bring myself to come up and visit and see you like that , it broke my heart. But now i sit and question myself , do I still think what I did was right by not coming to visit, or should I have just sucked it up ?I mean that could have been one more day with you ... Guess I cant look back on the past and think what could have been , it is all about the future now. 2009 is going to be a great year, I can feel it. Wish you were here to celebrate the holidays and the new year and my sister and dominics birthdays. You were there in spirit, mind, body, soul and heart and that is all that matters. I bet you are rolling around up in heaven with the Big Guy next to you drinking a beer or pepsi? lol and smoking a damn newport about this STEELER win! woop woop we are going to the superbowl ! can you believe it ? well i bet you can because you probably already know the future before it even happens lol. Send me a sign if we are going to win or if I am in danger. Not that I would be because you are my protecter up there. Well I guess this is all for now I have to get back to my homework ughhh. Weird I just felt you hug me from behind , thanks I needed that . Have a great rest of the day , enjoy watching us all from up above. Your missed and Loved so much and I just hope you know that. Really.
Always and Forever Your,
Brittany Ann.
