Hey uncle. Thinking of you today. Missing you dearly. Crazy I've lived more of my life without you then with you. But, I'm sure you would be proud of the adult I've become. I'm very happy in life right now. I wish you were here to see it. Love you and miss you dearly.
Love,

Alex
It's been a long time since I wrote.... I haven't been in a good place but I am now strong enough to face a lot of what has haunted me for so long.. I have a lot of regrets, shame.guilt, and also remorse.. I haven't written because I was so ashamed... I'm sorry I broke that promise I said on the day we lost you... I want you to know I will never stop fighting... You know I'm a fighter and survivor and always have been... I miss you a lot... I will always love you... I went to the Wednesday night meeting and couldn't stop staring at that chair in the middle of room and the night lily went and sat on that chair after you passed... As you know we also lost Johnny... It completely broke me and was so empty... But I want to be the person you know I could be... You and Johnny are together watching the Bruins and red Sox!!! I need you both and help see me through... Love you..xoxo

Its been a long time since I had seen or talked to Alex and I was wondering how he had been so I tried to find him on Facebook but I got a few post that came up saying that he had passed so I sent a message to someone who I know that wrote a post to ask them if it was the same Alex I was looking for and sadly I found out it was ,May you walk with the lord in the kingdom of heaven Alex , rest easy my old friend.

I will always have a hole in my heart, but a connection to you will always be there until we meet again.an unseen cord between mother and child, a poem i read with beatiful words about the invisible connection to heaven. Danielle and the kids got me a soccer ball for my bracelet and a beautiful frame with pics of you and I. I take comfort knowing she will always be an important part of our lives and make the children always know about you. I love you, xoxox mom

ITS NEW YEARS EVE A NEW YEAR IS UPON US. Reality of a year gone by without you and your not coming home! :( You have been greatly missed..time doesnt heal all wounds a hole in my heart will forever be, a cloud over my head and a sadness no mother should ever endure. Sometimes i feel like im sleepwalking through the day. I laugh with friends and family but it doesnt go all the way to my heart and soul,like the pain of missing you! I try to conjure up one of your bear hugs i close my eyes and can almost feel you! Xoxoxo mom

Hey Buddy!! Its Richard. Its the day after Christmas. The holiday was beautiful. You were heavily on my mind and in my heart yesterday and on Christmas Eve. The truth is you are frequently on my mind and always in my heart.I went to church Christmas Eve with Dave. A church member sang O Holy Night. Its my favorite Christmas song and all i could think about was you. I got very emotional. They say as time passes by a loss gets easier to accept. thats not the case. I miss u more than ever. Sometimes i forget that your not coming home. I think yourr on one of your Conway trips or on a vacation. I keep waiting for my phone to ring. I was only able to delete your name recently. It was very hard to do. I felt if I kept your name in my phone it would mean you werent really gone.Im greatful that my religeous beliefs allow me to believe Ill see you again. Danielle and the kids are well. You would be so proud of the kids. Adrian is learnimg to read and is exploring his identity. He wants to be a secret agent spy!! Lili is you through and through!! Nobody can put a smile on my face the way she can. I keep thinking back to your last day. We talked that afternoon and you said you would meet me at the Wednesday night meeting. I never saw you again. If I had one Christmas wish it would be for you to be here with us. I love you so much and am keeping Danielle and the kids close as I promised you I would. God bless you Alex. Ill never forget how much you helped me, all the fun we had or how truly special you are. Much love. Richard

alex, it's been a while since i've written but your moms previous entry had me in tears so i felt it was time... it has been a year filled with tears, smiles, and hysterically crying for no reason. i know that's the way life it. you use to say its not all peaches and cream and that certainly rings true! so much has happened and there isn't a day that u aren't on my mind for one reason or another. i don't think i'll ever understand why this happened. your kids are getting so big and talk about you all the time. adrian thinks your the north star. the brightest in the sky. lily holds your picture tight and says my daddy. her personality is as big as that smile of yours. it breaks my heart that my life is moving on without you in it. i know you see us and watch over us and even come visit. i dreamed of you for the first time and it was so real. you kissed me and i woke up because i thought it really happened. i walked out to the living room but you weren't there. i miss you more than you'll ever know. i may not say it enough but im always thinking of you.. i loved you, i always will. i will continue to keep your spirit and life a part of our kids as they miss you too. you were a great dad and you had a sparkle in your eye the day liliana was born that i will never forget. my life is moving but i still struggle with staying strong. reality has definately crept in and i feel it. i see it and feel it every holiday, every day i go to your parents and every time the kids hit a milestone. you are missed and loved so much and please continue to watch over us and letting me know your there. love u always. danielle

December 5, 2011

alex,, we had our family xmas party and it wasnt the same without your smiling face! the kids are all growing up and everyone says how much harrison looks like you! adrian and liliana had a blast and was so behaved.. this holiday season seems expecially hard this year. i guess last year we were all numb. you are so greatly missed but our memories of you are starting to bring smiles and not so many tears. we love you, so much. mom and dad

October 23, 2011

You will always have a place in our hearts...I think of you everytime I make my square cookies...We miss your big smile...I love watching your children, they are amazing little people....Love and miss you..Kim Dave Mark and Brian.
