Mommy,
I was thinking about you a lot today.
I realized what had happened before, I knew you were no longer going to be with daddy and I but as days go by more and more I realize that your not going to be back. I wish this never happened I wish you could be there to see me get married or graduate and see the grandchildren you've always wanted from one of us kids. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you, think about your smile that could light the whole house up, your laugh, or the way you always use to embarrass me in the car on the way somewhere because you blast some rap song and try to dance like those girls in the video, which wasn't so embarrassing in the end because it would end with both of us dance like tards lol :]]. I miss that a lot. I miss how I us to crawl up in bed with you when I wasn't feeling good and you'd every so gently rub my head until I feel asleep. I miss you so much mommy<3. I wish you where here but your not. but I'll always think about you I pinky promise! I love you more than anything ever.

love your nanook

I keep replaying in my mind over and over the years of friendship Tammy and I shared. We used to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night to walk on the beach just to talk. We could never get enough of it, even though we'd spend all day on it! I spent so many hours in the Makris household growing up that I always felt like part of the family. I was lucky to have shared the tender years of school, boys, bratty little siblings (sorry Chris and Pam! :) ), surfing, the pier, parties, proms, etc. It is sad that such a beautiful life was cut short. I love all of you in the Makris family and feel truly blessed that we have been and will always be friends. Steve, you know Ted and I are just down the street. You and I have been pals for a long time. Pam, I love you girl, you know I am here for you. Chris, hang in there kiddo, you'll get through this. Loni, thanks for always loving all of us and we love you! Tammy sleep well and look over all of us. Thanks for having been a part of my life!

My thoughts turn to the good times we shared...The many laughs, the many long talks about what was going on in our lives and about our family...The way we connected because you, much like me, would worry about everyone except yourself in so many ways...The way we could just pick up where we left off if we hadn't seen or talked to each other in awhile...The friendly bantering back and forth between you and my husband..The time you, Darrel and Sarah came to NH...The killer smile you had and the gentleness about you. You were more than just my cousin, you were my friend.

I know you are with Nana, Pappy and my mom now and you can rest peacefully.

I love you and will miss you.

Dear Sis

I can't put into words how blessed I was to have you in my life. The times we shared both good and bad were will be cherished in my heart and soul forever. Knowing you has mad me a better brother, son, husband and dad. Knowing you has made me a better person.. There is a void in me that will never be completely filled, but with time the tears will be replaced with smiles, I truly missed you and will always love you.

Rest Peacefully
Your Brother Steve
