I can't believe its been 12 years since you transitioned to heaven. We think and speak of you every day.
You may have left this world but you have not left our hearts. We love you so much and your love and memories keep us going.
Your infectious smile and your hugs warm my soul everyday.
Please stay connected to us. I still see your signs and feel when you are near. Thanks for those gifts.
I'll meet you in church tomorrow.

Dion,
I know I haven’t posted in a long time. I have a personal journal and I know you hear me when I talk to you.
Aunt Betty had a Mass said for you and to be honest, because of the Covid we haven’t been to church. So when Aunt Betty sent the card we all went to your Mass. Derek came with Rose and Eva.
I was very happy to be there to celebrate your birthday.
We all miss you so much. We can talk about you and not cry... most of the time.
We are making progress, I believe it’s because of all your signs. I know you are with us and I hear from so many people that you have a strong presence with many family and friends.
Thank you for that gift. I cherish every moment we shared and I know you are with us and sending love in your own way.
Happy Birthday.
All my love forever
Mom

D,
I just want you to know that your are loved and missed every day.
Today we had a Mass in honor of you. Every time the priest says your name at a Mass its like Im hearing shocking news.
Its like a punch in my stomach. I guess its because hearing it from Father makes it official.
I know its been 8 years.....but it still hurts like it was yesterday.
I really miss you! We all do. Stay close, take care of Der and Dad.
Love you for always!
MOM ❤

Bud are hearts are broken still today and that will probably never change.But I must say that Christ took you from us turned out to be a beautiful day.
Our day was filled with positive memories that keep smiles on our faces and funny stories and at the end of the day we found that we did better than the past years.We went to one of the best places in your world the beach, went really well, we think you would have been proud of us.Stay close to us so we can feel your presence always, there are times we have to pinch ourselves because your signs are so close. There were still no words miss you so much Dad.

Dion,
It's seven years since God took you to heaven. Its been a very long and hard road for us. We are all happy that you are at peace and don't have to suffer any more.
We try to only think of the good times. Dion we had a lifetime of great memories. We were just talking about your Christmas's. How you loved Christmas. Each year you would say " this was my Best Christmas Ever!! We were looking at pictures and you always had a great smile on you. There are pictures of you and Derek opening gifts and Derek is looking at you like you were NUTS. You were so happy with everything you got. I remember the year you wanted a George Forman Grill, when you got it you were hugging the box.
Now, I know that you were just playing but Derek gave you a look like you lost your mind. Then there was the year that Uncle bill sent all of us Coke shirts.Nanny D was there with us opening gifts and she got one too. You, Derek and Nanny posed for a picture. Its priceless.
These are the things that keep us going all of the happy times we had with you.
I have lots of pictures and lots of memories in my mind that keep me alive with your love.
Last night Jamie and Aunt Jac were in New York to see the tree. Everyone was sending us messages to let us know they were thinking of you on your anniversary. Jamie and I were going back and forth and I told her that you thought the world of her. She said " She had a special bond with you and loved you very much, and how she missed you". Shortly after that message she sent me another one. It was a picture some place in New York and above the building it said in big Red letters all lite up, BIG D.
At that moment I knew and she knew you were sending her a sign. She took a picture of it and sent it to me. It made me cry, because I get your signs all the time. It made me happy to see that you are doing just what you said in my dream. "Mom, don't worry about me, I'm happy. I get to watch over everyone and send them signs that I might be gone but my love will be with everyone always. Then you took out a book and showed me a list of so many names. People that you were watching out for and sending signs.
So my with was filled when I prayed that you don't loose interest in me and that you would continue to keep sending signs. I was so happy that Jamie got such a strong sign.
Dion, dad and I went to Mass for you yesterday and we spent the day at the beach and doing things we used to do with you after Christmas. I was a great way to get through a very hard day for us.
We love you and Miss you today as much as we did 7 years ago, even more!!
Love you Deetze
Keep the signs coming and I'll keep the love strong in my heart for you.
Love and Kisses, Miss you bear hugs!

Dion its New year day, 2017! I can't believe how time has passed me by. Never would I imagined that I would be living these years without you. I assumed that we would always be together as one happy family. God had other plans and some days the sun is shinning but its very cloudy. Other days I can feel your love like the heat of the sun. Our connection is so strong that your memory is controlling my emotions. Your loving smile drives me. Its what makes me smile and sometimes it will make me cry.
I know that you love us and you know that you were loved as much as anyone could be loved. I still can't let go and thats my choice. I want to hang on to all that love you brought into our lives.
We did celebrate the New Year but Dion you know that all of us are still hurting and always thinking about how things would have been.
This year my resolution is to try harder to make an effort to enjoy what God has blessed me with. You and Derek are such a precious gift from God, my babies, my angels.
I put my make up on every morning and that is when I am thinking of you. Every morning I feel like I have to put on a happy face to get through another day.
Dion every morning and night Dad prays and I know what he is praying for, happiness!! This year is going to be better. It has to be...
Stay close to me and keep sending me those signs. I'll do just fine as long as I know that your close.
I looked up at the sky last night and I saw the brightest star. It wasn't just some star it was the sign I needed to get through the night. Dion I love you so much you'll always have my heart.
Love you

Hey Bud,
Its 5:30 am and I woke up thinking of you. Its funny how some days your presence comes in so sharp. Today is one of those days. Of all days on Derek's birthday, are you trying to tell me something.
Dion, you were always Derek's biggest protector. You use to tell me to watch him better. You use to tell me you worried about him. You had a big impact on him. I think you have to be his biggest influence besides Dad.
Anyway thanks for being here with me this morning. Thanks for reminding me it's your brother's birthday. I know you will be with him today and help him enjoy this day.
He could use some good news. We all could!! Im counting on you to put in a good word for us.
Dion I so wish you were here to celebrate the good times.
We miss you so much. Things are not getting better. I know that some people say that the pain lightens up,but In my case it just goes deeper.
I miss you bud.
Love you so much.

Hey Bud,
I was so happy to see your sign on my Birthday. There is no way that your car rolled up on me at the exact moment that I was thinking of you. D, you can't make this stuff up. I know that you hear me when I talk to you and I know when you are close. I am thankful for your strong spirit and your love.
This weekend is Mother's Day and my heart is broken. I know that you are in a much better place but Im selfish.
I got a message from a freind and he said that God let his children send Mother's Day Cards from heaven.
It said that you are still my son and no matter where you are.
The tears I cry are not in vain because God let me send a special card.
It said,
Mom please don't cry, I'm sorry I had to leave, but I know you understand.
Even though I am in heaven, I love you as much as I can.
It may appear rather strange but Mom I see everything from here.
Our talks everyday and the songs that you play my ease your pain or take it away.
I hope you still laugh and tell my stories the way I use to,becuse memories are our way of speakin now so see what you could do.
Speak of me and say my name and don't forget to laugh a lot and cry a little, because Mom I'm still your son and that will never change.
Thanks Dion for all of your presents,
like being there for me when I need a good cry but also for getting me out of bed everyday because I so sad you had to die.
I love you today, tomorrow and forever.
Your Mom
Forever Young

I started working at Vayan after graduating from University and Dion was one of the first people to greet me at work back in 2015. He was always so full of energy and a ball of fun and laughter! Everytime I hear John Legend, I think about him. I'm so sorry that the world lost someone like him. Great memories always!!
Dion, so Happy!!

Dion,
How could it be that we are all still hurting so much? I don't know why but it has been really hard since Christmas. There is no escaping the pain. It is effecting all of us. Dad is an emotional mess. He is depressed and very sad. I hate seeing him this way. I try to change his mood or I'll just listen to him. I try whatever I can to help him through this funk he is in. He is doubting his faith. He replays every chemo session, every Dr's visit, every hospital visit you had.
I know Derek is hurting very much. He doesn't speak of it like your father. I don't know what is worse? I can't help him because he won't let me.
I have my own demons. Dion there is so much that I am thankful for, but I do feel robbed. I was robbed of seeing you have a family, our family. When God took you he also took our lives as we knew them. I lost Derek the way you two use to be. He is withdrawn and in pain. So Dad and I lost everything that we lived for.
We don't know how to move pass this pain.
Im trying not to be a kill joy but there is not much these days that I am happy about.
Please try to forgive me for putting this on you. After all you went through I know I should be ashamed of myself.
Please, know that I want to celebrate your life and how you lived it. I am very proud to be "MOM" to both you and Derek. I just need some help getting through when things seem so painful that I can't fake it anymore. My heart is broken!!
Anyway I want you to know that you are loved so much and missed.
Stay close and send me my hugs!!!!
Love MOM

Dion,
Was thinking about you the other day, glad your folks have kept the guest book alive all these years. Out of all the places I've worked, I've kept in touch with the Vayan folks the longest and I think of you when we meet. We miss you down here, but hope you're resting well in a better place. We've got a real mess down here on Earth that you're not missing.
Peace,

D,
Im going to be strong today. I know that is what you would want. It won't be east but Im going to try my hardest.
We are going to Mass first thing this morning. I hope it give me some one on one time with you. I need to let you know how much you are missed. How very mush you are still loved and such a big part of our lives.
Dion you have not been forgotten. You are talked about and included in everything we do.
Your presence here left such a strong impact on so many lives. Im proud when someone says your name or tell one of your crazy but alway funny stories.
Please help dad and Derek get through this day without too much grief. We are all still very hurt from our loss.
To say it briefly you are LOVED! Then, Now and always.
On this 6 year anniversary I want you to know that the pain is so very real. I don't think it will ever go away. I cast a shadow on every aspect of our lives.
We were blessed to have you for the time we did. God know I have thanked him for giving us time with you and for the wornderful memories we got to share.
The most important thing for you to know is that the love never stopped!
Keep sending us those great messaged and lots of signs that you are close and you hear us speak to you.
Love you and miss you more that I can ever express.
The sky is the Limit!!
Forever you will be young.

Deetze,
It's a New Year, 2016. Wow I can't believe it. Your Mom is getting old. I wonder what you would think of your Dad and me. Actually for our age we are in pretty good shape. I could lose some weigth but Dad is pretty good.
I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you and wondering how things would have been.
But you are in heaven and we get all your signs and messages. I am blessed to have that connection with you. I want to thank you for staying close.
We love you today as much as the day you were born.
Happy 2016 and all the signs that you will send this year will be very much appreciated.

Happy Birthday Bud. I have a bad habit of doing things as if you are still here. I put the Christmas tree up just like I always did for your birthday. You always had a big birthday party this weekend. There were always so many friends and famiy to help you celebrate.
Yesterday I baked cookies for Christmas. It is the first time since you went to heaven. I just felt like you where watching me and asking me, "where are the cookies MOM?".
I also put your sneakers under the tree. I know people think Im crazy but we know why. And Im not crazy yet.
Dion it will be 6 years in another month. It seems like you were here with us just yesterday. I remember every detail of your last day and night. You were happy!!!! You had a great day. We went out for lunch and you went shopping for a new shirt for your date. That night you talked to Kevin and you planned a trip. You were going to go to California to see him and them the two of you were going to plan your trip to Italy. You told Kevin " The skies the limit". These words have stuck with me and all of your friends and family since you said them. That was your last talk with Kevin. You never did make your date. You girlfriend thought that you stood her up. She was devasted.
Dion we all miss you and love you as much as we did when you where here. You where the sunshine in the morning and the stars at night. Everytime i look up in the sky I have a wonderful feeling knowing that you are up there watching over us. You are always with us.
The hole in my heart has not healed but its tolerable. I don't think it will ever heal.
Today on your birthday we will start off with Mass. We will honor your memories and all the love you left us.
We were Blessed to have you in our lives and you will always be in our hearts.
Happy Birthday
Love Mom, Dad and Derek

Hey Deetze,
How was Nanny's birthday in heaven. She has so many handsome men to dance with her and sing to her.
How's uncle Ger? I hope Tony & Jimmy are showing him around.
D, I watched your video yesterday. Every time I watch it it makes me smile. You would hate it but it keeps me going. You never got to see it. Warren took it probably to black mail you. Little did he know it would save me.
We had Bobby's dinner this week. It so hard to go but we wouldn't miss it. It brings back so many terrible memories. It all started 9 years ago when we got the call about Bobby's accident. Our good friends lives changed forever. Bob and Duane asked us if we could choose between the way Yhey lost Bobby or the way God took you, what would we want. Answer; none of the above!
Dion you went through so much pain and you fought hard. I know that you had no doubts that you would beat it.
My heart is broken in pieces.
Most days it takes all I have to fake a smile. The aches and pain we feel is constant, but seeing you push through for 3 years makes me ashamed not to give it my best. Many days my best is just getting out of bed.
The holidays are the worst. You are missed in many ways.
I am blessed to have Dad and Derek in my life. Some days I'm not so sure that they think I'm a blessing to them. It's so hard to put on a happy face or even to have a conversation. There are many days when we laugh at things you did or said. Dion, you are in our thoughts every day. You are missed everyday, and you are loved everyday.
Stay close and send us lots of signs.
The sky is the limit!
Hugs and kisses

Hey Deetze,
Its getting harder to keep you so close. I know that you are around because you always send me a message when I need one. That is so great for Dad and I to know that you are here for us.
Dion time is passing so fast but when it comes to you it seems like time has stopped. And it has, we still think of you happy and healthy. We still see your smile and can hear your laughing. We love that you left us with those lasting happy memories.
We went to the storage unit the other day. That was so hard for us. We were looking for some paperwork. We had to go through all the boxes there. Most of them where yours. Your whole life sitting in storage... It just broke our hearts. Dad started to cry first. I was trying to be strong. Then I opened a box and I broke down. Dion, I know that you want us to move on but it is so hard. You were our life. How do you leave 32 years of your life and just forget about them. Anyone that can do that does not have a heart.
We miss you terribly. Derek is trying to get Sho Go's going again. He is working so hard. He is determined. Its hard for us to go through all that again but we want to back Derek. He wants your name to be remembered. I know that this is his way of coping with losing you. He wants to show you that he can get this going. He is working very hard. What ever happens he will is learning a lot about business. Derek has made us proud already with all that he has done. I just hope that he can handle the things he has in front of him. I know that you will be there to guide him and help him make those important dicisions.
We are going to the heat game tomorrow and of course we will have you with us in our hearts. I know how you loved the Miami heat.
Tomorrow we are having a Mass said for you and Nanny. Don't forget to give her a big kiss for her birthday.
I miss her so much. Oh by the way I found the letter she wrote to you when you where sick. It was in one of those boxes in the storage. It broke my heart to read it but it was so sweet and beautiful. I never knew that you where talking to her and she was writting to you. It was very emotional.
Please give her a hug from me.
Stay close and send me my love and hugs.
Forever Young;
Love always

D,
Wow, your spirit is very strong! I have been getting signs from you all day.
Crazy as it might sound to you it started out this morning on my way to work. It was still dark and when I got in my car there was a song from Boz Scaggs. It was one you memorized and sang when you were 3 or 4. It made me cry because I thought of you the instant I got in the car.
Then I turned and backed out and the Moon was as big as they come. I once again I thought of you and The Mister Moon story when you lost your ballon at Disney.
So here I am going to work and as the sun is coming up I am looking at the sky and thinking of you. I stopped at a red light and your old car pulls up right next to me. It was mind blowing.
But all day long I was not feeling well and there were signs from you every where I was.
D, I know that there are a lot of things going on right now. And I have asked you to give me some signs. I got your answer and I am ok with however things turn out. No matter what happens I will know you tried your best. I know that you are near and you can hear me. That alone is worth the world to me.
So keep the communications open. We are all getting signs from you and we all are so thankful for you love.
Stay close in the next couple of days.
Especially tomorrow for Dads birthday.
Forever Young
Love Always

Dion,
I know it has been a long time since I wrote to you.
It has been a very busy summer. Not too much time to myself, always busy. But D, You know that I talk to you every day. I know you hear me and I love how you show me you heard me.
Lots of good things to be happy about. Our family has been blessed with a lot of happy weddings and lots of healthy children.
Dad is doing great and Derek has never been better. So I am vey thankful.
We miss you every day and can't talk about you yet without crying. Maybe we will some day, but for now our empty hearts are still hurting.
D, stay close and send me lots of signs. I love your messages.
Love you so much!!

Hey Bud,
Yesterday was the first day of summer. It was just the same as every other day here is Florida. Beautiful morning, hot afternoons, and rain in the early evening. We have been getting a lot of rain. I like the rain, if we don't have plans to do something. I was wondering how it is in heaven. I guess everyday is perfect. I think of you and wish I could call you and talk to you. We use to have such great long talks. Derek called me yesterday and we had a long talk. It was nice. That is what made me think of our long talks and how I miss them.
Dion, I just want you to know that you are talked about and thought about every day. We have not and will not forget about you. You are such a great big part of who we are. I am your mom and I will always be you Mom. So if I am bugging you then I am doing my job.
I was thinking about the time that you wanted to skip school with you friends for senior day. They were all going to Ft. Lauderdale or the Bahama's for the weekend. I had a bad feeling about it. I told you not to go. You were very angry. I thought you were going, you told me you were going. Then you didn't and you didn't talk to me for the weekend. My point is that you had a choice and you respected me and you didn't go. To me that showed how deep our love was. I fell the same love now. I know that when I talk to you you listen and answer me. You always show me a sign that you have heard me. We may not be able to pick up the phone and talk but at least we have our own way of communicating.
We all miss you and want you to stay close and send lots of signs.
Keep the skies open for your messages.
The skies the limit means so much to me now that you are on the other side.
I love you, and miss you!
Stay close!

Deetze,
I had a lot a time visiting with my sisters and my brother. It was so nice to take some time and be with them the way we use to.
Dad was great he let me go off with them and there were times he joined us.
You know that I love my family. I have to give credit to Nanny D and Pop. They always told us how important it was to stay close.
There is nothing more important than family.
The love my family shows is amazing. We sat around and remembered the old days when things where easy and life was good. They talked about you and how much they enjoyed you and you visits. They talked about your stories and how you could entertain everyone when you told a story. I was really quite a tribute.
Its great to know you left a lot of people who still care about you and didn't forget you. You are always in there minds with fond memories.
We had a great visit. Talked about Nanny D and how she was so special. We miss you Mom! But we want you to know that we are all doing our best to take time out of our busy lives to stay close and come together.
Dion thanks for all the signs that you have been sending. I know when I see one that your body is gone but your spirit is still here with us. I am happy because I feel that you are really letting us know that you love us and are still watching over us. Many thanks for that.
Dion, you know how much I miss you. You can see me every day and how my heart is still broken. Will it ever heal? I can't imagine that it could. There is too much love between us. You are still my son and I still worry about you and think of you every free minute I have.
Thanks for helping out with Derek. I know that you like Melissa or you would not let this realationship continue. I know you are sending messages to Derek and helping him do the right things. Thanks for that! It takes a lot of stress off of me. I wish them the best and hope that when Dad and I go away they take the challenge and try living together. That will be the ultimate test.
I really like Melissa and I think she is for Derek.
Dion please stay close and send us those great signs that you are near. Keep all those babies in heaven happy and give them lots of love.
Talk to you everyday. I hope you hear me.
Love Always MOM

Good Morning D,
I am sorry that it has been a while since I wrote to you. Life seems to get away from me before I know it. But you know that more than anyone.
I am having a great visit with my sisters. They are great! I am blessed to have them in my life. We have been catching up on old stories. Nanny D, Uncle Tony, Uncle Jimmy and you have been topics of our conversations. I am glad that they are not afraid to talk about you. They remember all the fun and laughter you brought into our lives. Stories about you and Nanny D, stories about you and Uncle Tony.
All good memories we all share.
I tell them how you are so close and how you send me signs to let me know when you are here. I tell them how you are with me all the time, in my heart, in my mind and in my soul. Dad still gets emotional but he is getting better. He misses you just as much as ever but he can control his feelings much better now.
I know you were with us the first night they came. Your car passed in front of us when we where sitting in City Place having a drink. It was you letting me know that you were with us. I love those signs and my heart fills up with warmth when you are so close.
D, I would do anything to have you here with us, but Aunt Ann said God has you in heaven surrounded by little children. I believe that too. I believe that God took you for a greater job that only you could do. Why else would he take a young man in his prime from his family and friends?
I know what ever the reason is that you are in heaven it is for the good of many. I know that you are happy and free of pain. I know that you will always remember the love you gave and received.
Please let Nanny D and Pop Pop, Nanny A and Poppy, Uncle Tony, Uncle Jim know how much we love and miss them!!
Stay close and keep sending those signs.
I need them to get through the day.
Forever Young and The skies the limit.
Never forgotten and loved more as time goes by.

Deetze,
Hows heaven treating you. We have noticed a lot of signs from you in the last week. Either you are out for a spring break or you got an important job to do.
What ever the reason its good to know you are close.
Dion we miss you so much! There is not a day that goes by that we don't talk about you. We usually keep it light and happy. Last Sunday it started out that way and ended in the two of us really breaking down. I held it in as long as I could but sometimes you just have to let it go.
I guess the love we feel for you it so strong that it just grabs us and all the good and the bad just seems to be there all the time. D, just remember that we had the best times ever with you. We would do it all again because the love you brought us will be with us till the end of time. There is no better gift in life than that.
Dion I thought about you a lot this week because of SunFeast. I remember how you loved this weekend. I know Derek missed you so much. I told him that you have been around and I was sure you would be there with him on the barge dancing and singing with a cold one in your hand. Derek laughed and said I was right.
Just stay as close as you can and let us feel your hugs. We are happy to get all you signs. We laugh when we see some of them. Keep them coming.
Love and Kisses Always
MOM

Dion,
Thank you for being the first one to wish me a happy birthday. Its amazing how much you show your love for me. It goes without saying that you are very special. D, Please tell Nanny D that I got her message this morning also. She never did forget my birthday. I miss her very much. Today is a day of celebration and thats what I am going to do. Celebrate how blessed I am to have such a special family. I got a birthday message from Jacalyn already this morning. It had to be 5am. She is so sweet. Dion I know that you realized when you where with the family how special they are. That all came from Nan & Pop D. God should hand out blueprints for parents and have Nan & Pop help guide new parents through.
Dion, Its really not a big deal to have a birthday because your father makes every day feel like my birthday. He is so good to me. He makes me feel special every day. He spoils me and treats me like a princess. I guess your Mom knew what she was doing when she caught your father.
Dion the only thing that could make this day better is to have you here sharing my cake with me. So when I blow out the candles I am counting on you to help me, you know there are a lot.
D. got to get ready for work but that is another blessing I am thankful for. So stay with me throughout my day and let me know you are close. Send me a special birthday hug.
D, its days like today that I miss you the most!
Love and Kisses.
I will watch the sky. Remember you are forever young, but today I am one year older. OUCH!!!

Dion,
There are days when you are right there in my heart when I wake up. Today was one of those days. I am happy when your warmth is so close. I am glad to know that you are near. I have to tell you that it sucks not to be able to hug you or touch you. I try to remember how it felt when you came in and hugged me. I try to remember your smell or how you felt in my arms. Those memories are still with me.
Having you close in my heart keeps those memories alive.
No matter how many friends or family we have its still very lonley with out you here. There is a huge hole in our hearts. Nothing can fill it. We try to go through the day keeping busy and going through the motions. Truth is there will always be the pain of your lost smile. The hurt of your lost laughter. Whenever we see a couple your age, we are reminded of what could have been. When we see a dad your age with a baby we are reminded of you and your love for kids. There are signs all around us that keep you close but those signs are painful sometimes.
D, I just want you to know that we are blessed to have the memories we have of you. I was blessed to have you in my life for the time that God gave us.
Always remember that we loved you with all our hearts. You and Derek where gifts from God. The gift of love is the greatest gift to share with someone. We had that with you.
We miss you everyday.
You are still loved! Always!
The skies the Limit.

Happy Easter to all my favorite people. I hope you all got together and had a great day in heaven. All the people we would have been spending Easter with are up there with you D.
Grandma & Grandpa, Nan and Pop, Nanny D & Pop D, Uncle JIm , Uncle Tony, Uncle Pat, all the superstars are in heaven with you. We were really missing all of you this Easter Sunday.
Dad was very quite, he remembered the Easter Sunday he had to take you to the hospital because your blood levels got so low. He remembered that you told him you could go in by yourself and he should park the car. Then you fell going into the hospital, you were so weak. He has that image in his head and it hurts so much. I also remeber that Sunday, you begged us to wait until Monday. We knew we couldn't. You ended up spending all of Sunday at the hospital I think they kept you. I had a ham in the oven that got ruined and dried out. No one wanted to eat when we finally came home. So needless to say we do not enjoy Easter the way we use to, with all of you in heaven.
I did however enjoy Saturday, Dad surprised me with some new furniture for our patio. It was really a surprise when the men where at the door at 9am and I was in my PJ's.
It is beautiful and completes our new home. We had Easter Breakfast on the patio watching the golfers come through. It is just great to finally have what we had invisioned all along.
Chruch was crowded but we were there early so we got a seat. It is great to see how our church is growing, I think they need to put an addition on already. Its amazing. We saw Jimmy B with his mom and dad. He started to cry when he saw us. He misses you and said he has been through hell, but that he is different and his life has changed for the better.
Dad and I had a great dinner out. We really enjoyed it with some great wine. We talked to almost everyone in the family. Next year we will go to NJ and have Easter there.
Well D just wanted you to know that you are always on our minds. I hate to say it but Easter just is not one of our favorite days. Lots of memories of you and your battle.
But today starts a new week and I am up early to let you know that I miss you always. Even at 5am I am thinking of you. Keep close and send me my hugs. Keep sending us your signs that you are around and that you hear us. We hold on to every single sign you send all through the day.
Dion with all our hearts we miss you and remember the good days we had with you. Those are the memories that get us through. Such happy times. You are sorely missed.
Love you always

Deetze,
You had a full house yesterday for your Mass. Standing room only. Of course the church was filled for Palm Sunday but the Mass was said for the intention of Dion Amendola.
So Many peoplle praying for your soul and for you to have found peace. Dad said he feels like you are in a better place. I guess I am just selfish and can't think like him. I still feel robbed of your love and I feel that you had so much more to do. I do accept the fact that for whatever his reason God took you to heaven.
I am thankful that I can still communicate with you and you seem to be right here when I call on you. Its is amazing how you send me a little sign to let me know you heard me.
I was thinking of you when we went to pick up Derek & Melissa at the airport and just at that same moment your old car pulled up next to us. I was asking you to watch over Derek and Melissa and get them home safe. It was pouring and we could hardly see a foot in front of us. But their landing was safe and they were happy. They had a great time with lots of great stories. Thank you for watching over him.
D, we miss you so much. I got a e-mail for Tony C. Little Anthony wrote a story about his family and how much he loved them. He ended his story by saying that he still thought of his cousin D. He missed you jokes and your silly ness. I cried when I read that. This little boy who you where around for a short period has been touched by you. I know you are keeping a watchful eye on him and his family, Please keep Anthony safe and sweet. He is an angel.
I got to go to work but I will have you in my heart all day.
Watch over you father and keep him safe for me. He is my life.
Talk to you later!
Love always

D,
Did you see how many people walked with us at The Angel Walk. Its truley a testament to you and Bobby and all of the other who have left us too soon. It is a very emotional day but very satisfing also.
Bob has done an amazing job to keep Bobby's Spirit alive.
He has done an outstanding job in bringing people like ourselves who greive everyday together. It does not make me feel better that each year there are more and more. It makes me feel better that The Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts has reach so many people and has filled in a big void. People can see that they are not alone. We have meet some very special people. Its great to see this organzation grow each year in support of Bobby.
Did you see your Mom and Dad last night rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. Who would have ever thought!
We had a great night at one of the most prestigous places in Palm Beach. Dinner, Dancing and a lot of drinking. Don't worry I behaved. You were with us all night. Here we were sitting in a room with millionairs and billionairs. And you where mentioned quite a few times. Its hard when people ask us how many children we have. We are alway caugh off gaurd. Do we say one? No we have Two! We still have you and we will always have you! You are a part of our lives forever, and I know you were out there on the dance floor with me and having a ball.
D, we miss you so much and send you all our love.
Stay close and keep sending us signs. Lots of signs so I know that you hear me talking to you.
The skies the Limit!

Hey Bud,
The world is spinning and life continues,but my world has not been the same since you went to heaven. Its hard to go on day after day pretending that life is good. Don't get me wrong, I have much to be thankful for. And I thank God every day for my blessings. But D, I feel so cheated! There is no blame, just emptyness. My face smiles and its an effort, I feel so phony.
We go on about our day and its just motions. We are thankful for the business that we have to keep us going. If I wasn't busy than I would just break.
I have very blessed to have such a great family. My sisters and my brothers have been there for us. Nanny was here for me. I miss her too!! There is a lot of emptiness in my heart and only your love and our memories can fill it.
Stay close and keep sending me my signs and hugs.
I love you D!
Forever and a day.

Good Morning D,
I woke up and had a strong feeling that you where here.
I have had you on my mind more than usual. I think you are trying to let me know you are close. I can feel your near. Its a great feeling. I know that you are watching over us.
Please keep close to Derek. He has a new job and he needs to have the confidence to know he can handle this job if he just beieves in himself. I know if you were here you would talk to him and give him advice. Thats why I am asking you to help guide him in the right direction.
Take care of Dad for me. I would be lost without him. He is so good to me and Derek. He is even good to Melissa. I know you would approve of her. She is a sweetheart.
My job is good, but it is more demanding than I expected. I just love these people and its hard to see them go through the struggles they have to deal with. This is one of those cases where money cannot buy them happiness or cure their illness.
I am on my way in and I never know what the day will bring. But Dion you are always with me. You are always in my thoughts on my walks or when I am at the beach. When ever I look at the sky I feel your love and you warm hugs wrap around me. D, I know that you are near and that is the only way I get through the day. So stay close and send me lots of loving signs.
Miss you so much.
Love MOM

Deetze,
The Angel Walk is coming up. So many people, so many broken hearts. But this is a great way for the new famalies to reach out. Bobby has provided a great service in a very comfortable way. This walk is so beautiful! We walk around a lake and there are beautiful trees, plants, flowers. There are birds chirping and butterflies flying all around. If you lose yourself in the walk (like I do) you can feel your loved one taking the walk with you. I always feel like its our special time to stay connected. Then there are all the photo's of the loved ones that have gone to heaven. Its a very special day. We look forward to it every year.
You know that when I talk to you each day its just to let you know that you are loved and though of as much as the day you where born. There are lots of days that I am very busy and don't have time to do all that I would like. Dion there is never a day that I don't feel like my heart is broken.
There is not a day that I don't feel cheated. I also don't have a day that I thank God for having shared you with me. I thank him for the love we had to share. With all the hurt and pain we all went through especially you, I have to say if I never had you in my life I would not have felt such love. God gave you to me to feel that intense love of a mother. I was blessed to have you and Derek to feel that love that only a parent can have.
Dion, I am going to Mass. Today it is a Mass in your name so it is very special for us. I will talk to you in church and I always feel your love there.
Stay close and keep sending me signs. Thank you for the dream the other night. You were as clear as could be and you showed me your smile and your happy personality.
Love you Bud!
MOM
March 12, 2014
Hi Dion! Well - you will be all over the Angel Walk again!!!! Everyone will get to see the many faces and true goodness in you!
March 7, 2014
Good Morning D,
Dion I miss you! I think about you all the time. We are getting better but we will never get over the lose and emptiness that is in our lives.
No one can imagine how life can change so quickly. One day you have the world and all is grand. The next day is not promised to anyone and in a second your whole life is changed forever.
We all need to be thankful for the time we have with our loved ones and always make the most of that precious time.
Never in a million years did I ever picture you not being in my life until I died. I don't know why God picked you but I am sure that only the good die young.
Miss you very much bud. Lent gives me more time to think about the abundance of waste and material things. All of these things mean nothing! It is love, the love of a family and God's love in our lives that is the most important thing.
Dion stay close to me today. Give me the strenght to do the best job I can do. Let me do it with your love in my heart.
I really miss you bud!
Love always
MOM
March 5, 2014
D, today is Ash Wedensday, I would like you to help me keep aware of Jesus for the 40 days of Lent.
Help me to be a better person and to share the love.
Dion you are in heaven and you are the closest connection I have with Jesus. By losing you I have become closer to God.
I miss you and want you to know that you are loved more and more ever day. We were talking about you last night. We can talk about you and not cry now, (mosy of the time).
Just know that you are with us every day, all day.
I will try and keep you informed on how I am doing for lent.
The skies the limit! keep my hugs coming and lots of signs.
Love always, MOM
March 3, 2014
Dion,
Thank you for the visit last night. You made me cry, in a happy way. Its amazing to me that you are still so connected to us.
I just asked you to show me that you where there and could here me talking to you. I was getting ready for bed and I had the music on, and the announcer said."Who could forget this guy, who went by one name, Dion." It was Dion, singing The Wonderer.
Its strang because thats how I think of you as the wonderer. You are always there when I need confirmation and you are always around to let me know. Your love is so strong, last night you had me smiling. I really felt like you where in the room and we were having a visit.
No I am not crazy just holding on to whatever God sends my way. I started to tell you how much you are missed and that I would do anything to be able to hug you. I asked you if you could here me let me know and then there it was right on my TV. And that question that caught my attention, "Who could forget this guy? Dion????
So bud just wanted to say thank you for letting me sleep knowing you heard me tell you that I love you and always will.
Stay close to Dad and Derek. Keep your brother on the right track. And watch over Dad for me.
We all miss you terrible!
Love MOM

Good morning Deetze,
Just wanted to start my day telling you how much I love you.
As I go through the day I will be thinking of you. When I see the sun rise. When I smell the ocean breeze, when I see your old car pass me by. All through the day there are signs that you are close. Dion stay close and make sure you are close enough to feel the love that we have in our hearts for you.
We all miss you everyday.
Keep close to Dad and Derek.
I will meet you at sunrise and cry just knowing you are up there with God.
Love MOM
February 21, 2014
Dion, I woke up and there you were, on my mind. I guess that there is something that you want to let me know. I can feel that you are close and that you want me to know that.
I love when you are around and send me signs. I will be watching and thinking of you all day.
I miss you so much. I listen to your music and think of the good old days. I wish that I could go back and do certain things over. Truth is we can't go back. I don't know if the out come would be any different.
I believe that God had all of this planned. Your big personality was so big because God knew that you would leave an big impact on many people. He was right.
I was so privleged to be choosen to take care of you. You made Dad and I very proud of the man you became.
We wouldn't change any time that we had with you. We live everyday with the memories that you left us. Dion you had a warm and fun personality. Everyone loved your smile.
When you were just about 6 months old, Barry Manillo had a song that I sang to you every day. It was " I can't smile without you,can't laugh without you, I'm finding it hard to do anything!" Never did I know that these words would come back and break my heart. I use to sing that song to you with the biggest smile on my face. Just kissing you and snuggling with you. You use to love it. Now the memories of that song and so many others just cut like a knife and break my heart.
Well D, I better stop my pity story and start my day by telling you how much you are loved and missed.
Stay close to me today while I work. Give me patience and understanding to get through the day.
Stay close to Dad and Derek.They both miss you so much!
Till later. Lots of love. See you in the sky.
Love MOM
February 14, 2014
Happy Valentines Day to a very special person. D, you have always been one of the closest loves of my life. I have been blessed with 3 special people to love. Dad, Derek and you.
The difference is I get me love from you in special ways. The hugs I used to get mean so much more to me today because they are stronger now than when you where here.
How could you understand or know that every time you hugged me it would be a treasure for me to hold on to.
I just want you to know you are loved as much today as you were loved every day you where here with us. You have not been forgotten. If anything we think of you more.
I still play and listen to your song, Forever Young,by Jay Z. I know that song has a lot of messages that you were trying to leave with me. And I have to say that every time I listen to it I do cry but I get it. Thank you for that gift and message.
So all my love to you today on this special day to show our loved ones how much they are love. You are love from the earth to heaven and back.
Thanks for being such a great son and my friend.
Love you so very much.

February 12, 2014
Deetze,
I am up a little early today so I wanted to take some time to let you know that you are always on my mind.
I wrote you a message in the sand yesterday at the beach.
All i could do was think about you. It was a beautiful day and the sky was so blue. The clouds were so spectacular and I knew you were up there watching me and Dad.
Dion you are with us all the time. Our hearts are full of love for you.We are still asking why, but there are no answers.
Hope you stick around today and help us get through another day. Stay close to Derek. Help him make the right choices. He misses you and he misses getting your imput. Help him and watch out for him.
Take care of Dad and me. We both need each other so much. I need Dad more than he knows. He has been so good to all of us. So help keep him healthy and as happy as possible.
Love to all of my loved ones in heaven.
Love always!!!

Hey Bud,
Its so lonley here without you. I miss you and having you around. Everyday I hope that you will connect with me in some way just to keep you close as possible.
Grieving is a strange thing. You go through stages of loss.
I don't cry everyday now, but I greive for you in other ways.
I think of you and grieve what would have been. I grieve my hopes and dreams for the future. Your future, being a husband and father. Seeing how well you would have done in business. Celebrating all those things a mother expects her son to enjoy. I also grieve for my lose of not being able to be a good mother- in -law, for not being able to hold your children and all the love they would have brought to our lives.
I listen to my sisters talk about their grandchildren. They live for those kids. They celebrate every new thing they do. I wanted that for us, for you.
You best friend Keven just got a very high profile client. We talked to him and we are so happy for him. He is a hard worker and a great husband and dad. All of these things are great and we love him and are so proud of him. We know that you are too. I see his life and think of where you would be. Would you have moved to CA to be together? Would you be here and working in some company as a vice president. I know you love babies so I'm sure you would have had a few by now.
But you are forever in heaven with all those dreams. You have lots of important things and people to help. And in my eyes you have a very important job. You have all our prayers to answer or to try to help as best as you can.
So I know that you are called on every day and so far you are doing a great job in answering my prayers. Dion thank you for being there for me. I really love you and would change places with you in a heart beat. If only I could give you the future that I have always dreamed for you.
I love you and that will never change.
Keep the signs coming, stay close.
Send me lots of hugs to get me through the days.
The skies the limit.

Dion,
Missing you this morning more than ever. Just thinking about you taking care of Noele for Jaclyn. I know she is the cutest little angel in heaven. God works in misterious ways. I know that you have taken this little angle and are loving her up like she is your own. Please let Jac have peace in her heart knowing that her baby is an angel of Jesus.
We really miss you and your always in our hearts.
Dad and I ran into Louis and Andrew Valdarama at the golf course. They are true friends with lots of love in thier heart. Thier parents did an great job in raising them up to be good and respectful men. I am happy that you had the time to be friends with them. Louis has the cutest little boys, and they are going to be really good golfers. Andrew has been out with Derek and Melissa recently and seems that they had a nice night out. I love that Derek is keeping close to Andrew and Louis they are really stand up guys.
I want you to know when ever I run into one of your friends I feel like you are the one that made it happen. I was felling a little down that morning but then I get to see your old friends and all the good times come back to me.
So keep me surrounded be good memories. I know that you are always close and I can feel your warm hugs.
Tell Chris that I miss him and I send my love.
The skies the limit, I am always looking to the skies. You gave me such a gift. I am in love with the sunsets and the morning sunrise. These are my special moments to talk to you and know that you are there hearing my every word.
Thanks for all the signs this month. Your car has been following us all over. Where ever we go there is your car, weird.....
Or not? I think not, I think its your way to tell us you are close.
Stay close and send those signs.
Forever Young!

Hey Bud,
Just want you to know that I had a sweet dream last night about you and Nanny D in heaven. She was knitting a blanket for you and you where teasing her about her chicken little hair. Or her Elvis hair.
You both were happy and it was like a great big party with Pop, Nan & Pop A, Uncle Jimmy and Uncle Tony singing. You were playing with Jac's baby and there was another baby there. Chris was tossing a football with some one and there were a lot of other people. I saw Grandma give you a kiss but that was weird because you were a baby in her arms. I guess anything is possible in heaven.
I just want you to know that today is really not any different than any other day. We still love you the same as always.
The only difference is that there will be a Mass said today in your memory. Please try and be there with us. We would love you to be close.
Its not a Happy Anniversary just another year that we want you to know you are loved.
See you in church, I'll know if you are there if you give me one of your warm hugs.
Love you Bud.

January 5, 2014
Deetze,
This has been the longest 4 years in my life. You know the old saying time flies when your having fun. Well it is the opposite when you are missing someone as much as we miss you.
Thank you for sharing with us a wonderful Christmas and New Year. But with the New Year brings us sad feelings of the emptiness you left in our hearts.
It is your 4 year anniversary, and I can remember the day before like a movie I watch over and over. You were so happy that day. You went shopping and bought a new shirt for your date the next night. A date you didn't get to keep.
After shopping you came home and we went out for a late lunch. We went to LaGrania. I remember that you looked so good and healthy and that you were so happy. You were in my car and put in a cd and we were singing and dancing. I remember thinking that I was going to call your Dr. and tell him that he made a big mistake. I really thought that they did or that we had gotten the miracle that we had been praying for. That night you talked to Kevin (Mottzie) and you made plans to fly to California to see him. You two were going to make your plans to go to Italy. I was sitting on your bed with Derek and you were showing us some pictures on your computer. It was a great night, I had not seen you that happy in a long time.
I really don't know what time it was but I do remember the knock on our door. You asked if me or Dad could come and rub some aspercream on your back. I said yes, but Dad told me he would go. He told me to go back to sleep because I had to get up early for work. It wasn't long after that Dad called me and told me I better come in your room. He told me to call the paramedics. I took one look at you and saw the angels had carried you away. There was nothing I could do. Your Dad had you and held you and was talking to you but you were gone. I remember we didn't have long to kiss you and to tell you we loved you but we were both there. And we both kissed you and hugged you until the paramedics came in. They got you breathing again but you were already gone with the angels. I knew it and Dad knew it. They had you on the machines just for a few hours for us to tell them they could turn them off. It wasn't hard as I said we knew you were in heaven. Derek and Dad were the last ones to see you. I didn't want to see you like that.
I guess every day that movie plays in my mind but Deetze there are so many good movies that are playing in my mind. So many happy times that we shared. God gave you to us to take care of for him and If I do say so myself I am proud of the man you were. I think we did a great job and I know you were loved and loved us back. There is no better reward than to have the love of your children and family. So while I sit here and write these memories I want you to know that if I had a choice to do it all again I would without hesitation. Because the love you gave us was the greatest gift.
We miss you bud but mark my words you will never be forgotten.
Keep sending me my hugs and lots of great signs.
PS; The sign in church today made both Dad and me cry. The lady that sat next to dad look like Nanny D. It was as if she was there for your Mass. The stangest part was not only did she look like Nanny D but she was wearing her scent. I swear it was spooky but knew it was a sign from heaven to get us through.
Love and kisses

D,
I know that you are staying close to me. I know because you have answered my questions. I get you r messages loud and clear.
I know you were with us last night and heard us speak of you with loving memories. Derek invited Joey Paquette and Melissa also joined us. We had a great dinner and laughed about how you would have killed the king Crab claws and the antipasto . I had my pastries so you know I was happy.
Today at church I felt your love. I know you are in heaven and are enjoying the birth of Jesus. That thought made me happy. I pictured you with Nanny D & Pop. I know you are surrounded by many family members that you loved and who loved you. So my heart is full of love for you and all of those great people who are with you.
Thank you for getting us through another Christmas without you.
We miss you every day. All the tome.
Just know how much you are loved and what a gift you were to us.
Merry Christmas give the Baby Jesus a kiss for me.
Love you bud!

Deetze,
As busy as I have been I have had you close to me ever moment.
It has been a very busy month. The moving has gone very well. The new place is great. Today was the first time in a very long time that I had a free time to myself.
It has been bitter sweet, leaving your home. But we know they you were guiding us to a fresh new beginning. D, no matter were we live you are deep in our hearts and always on our minds.
This week was the Bobby Resciniti Golf Tournament and Dinner. It was amazing. I'm sure Bobby felt all the love that had been generated by his families hard work and tremendous efforts. Every year they out do the last. We are so proud of the work and even prouder to call the Resciniti's our good friends.
We felt the love from you there and know that you were watching over us. Thanks for keeping Derek safe, unfortunately Derek could not handle the pain. I really can't blame him, it is still heart breaking for me. We sat at Bob & Diane's table, very very emotional.
Great night for a great cause. The love of our Angels!!!
Stay close and sen me my hugs.
Skies the limit!

Hey Bud,
I really miss you. I know its has been a while since I wrote anything down in your book. You have seen how busy I am. Ever since I have been back from Wyoming it has been a race. I was very busy in Wyoming, home is great but we are up against a clock.
We move into our new place on Oct.27. So between working and making decisions for the new place I have not had a single minute to waist. I am up early just to make sure you know that I have not forgot you. I know that you hear me talking to you on the way to work and on the way home. Everything in between is a blur.
I just need you to know that even though I don't have time to write it down, you are never out of my mind and heart. I miss you more today than ever. I wish you were here to give me advice. I feel better talking to you than any thing else I do.
I know that you were with Derek when he needed you. He told me how he asked you for help. He said you sent him the answer. He felt confident that he was doing the right thing. So with all my heart I thank you for watching out for him. He needs an angel of his own. Maybe that is the reason God took you. Maybe God knew we would be facing some very difficult times and he wanted us to have faith and to have a special connection with heaven. D, I guess that is you.
I know you are my special angel. I love our talks and how you let me know you hear me. Stay close to all of us and thanks for being with Dad on his birthday yesterday.
We miss you D, very much.
Love you as always. The skies the limit.

Deetze,
I am sorry that I did not get the time to write you last week. I have been very busy to say the least. But you already know this. Even though I have been so tired at the end of the day you are with me all day long. If it wasn't for your presence with me through all of this I could not have made it. You were always a fighter and never gave up, so I pushed to the end. The end is coming soon and I am proud of myself for the journey I have been on.
I want you to know that you are always in my heart and on my mind. You have become my driving force. You have given my the push when I wanted to quit. Dion I could never be as strong as you but I will never quit on anything.
Dad is doing great and had a great time visiting the family. He really missed everyone and even for a short visit it he got so much out of it.
Derek is flying high. He has gotten a promotion and is doing really well. The first couple of weeks where very stressful but he got through them and he is more comfortable. He had to do a presentation and write a synopsis of the job and about the Dr.'s. He knocked it out of the park. They were blown away. Dad told him he was so proud and he never doubted he would do a great job. I told him he alway gives a 100 and 10% so I didn't expect anything less.
Derek and Jen are doing great. He seems very happy these days. I pray that it all continues.
Today is Pops birthday, so please tell him that we miss him. I think of how much he helped us and how much he loved you guys. We are having a Mass said for him. Let him know that I love and miss him so much.
Give my love to Nanny D. I will have a hard time going to NJ without her there. I miss her!!!!
Love you bud. Keep sending me those great signs. They keep me close to you. Love you as much as ever. Miss you much more.
Love MOM

Deetze, You have been such a great help the last week. It is amazing how you get God to listen to my prayers. Derek is doing much better, he even got a promotion. One that he really deserves. I just hope he does not get stressed out by one Dr.'s They all love him but we are human and his is bound to have a tiff. I pray he holds his temper and walks away, he needs to be very profession al. He is seeing Jen again and he seems very happy. I hope things work out for them.
Dad and I sold your condo. I know you had something to do with it. We had a bidding war. We got the highest price for a condo in your phase. We were thrilled. The lady wants all the furniture. So all we have to do is pack or clothes and move out. I kept some things, I wanted your chair. Of all the things that was the most important to me. I remember the day I told you that I wanted to buy you a lazy boy. We went together and you sat in about 20 chairs. You picked this one out and was so excited about getting it. The day they delivered it and put it in your room you were so happy. You stayed in that chair all day. You took naps in it. Then we moved it out into the living room after you left us. Dad has taken over your place in it, he loves it.
I am on my way to church so I will talk to you there.
Listen to my prayers.
Love and Miss you so very much.

D,
You are still my angel. I need you in my life. If anyone really knew how much I talk to you and depend on you they would put me away. But our love is so strong that the communications are real and powerful.
I asked you to take care of Der and help him find his way. You did, he is doing so much better. I know that you saw me & him crying so you helped us out.
You are always looking out for Dad for me. I really can depend on you to take care of him. We all need to talk to you and hear from you. Some how you have been able to keep us close. You have sent some amazing signs to all of us that you are listening and also responding.
When I get to heaven I hope you will show me how to communicate with the people I care about.
Dion there is not a day that we don't miss you. All of us!
Its hard to get past the heartbreak. I don't think we ever will. We just learn how to handle it, keep it under controll.
D, I want you to know that everyday you are in our hearts and in our minds. We miss you as much today as ever.
Your love is so strong it keeps us all going.
Keep sending me your signs and lots of hugs.
The skies the limit!
D, I love & miss you so very much.

Dion,
I know you are always watching out for us. You told me you would. So I guess you are happy that we sold your condo. I know you made it happened because it happened in a week. Full price, cash deal. Now I know that there are a lot of things to selling property and this is the quickest sale in our life. So I am assuming that you are telling us its time to move on. I am sad and happy at the same time. I will miss all the memories that we made there. Lots of great times, lots of sad. But all part of you. I think I am very nervous to make this move but I know you had to have something to do with it. D please don't leave me when we move. I couldn't bare it. I need to have the connection that we have now. I know that you will always be in my heart. My love for you will be with me where ever I am.
Dion, I still want you to help Derek and guide him. He is having some trouble with some personal things and I know he could use your help.
Dad is doing better. He has a lot of work on his hands to get the new place ready for us. He will be very busy in the next couple of weeks. I hope you stay close to him and help him with his choices.
Dion I just looked at all your pictures and I miss you so much I just can't believe how much it still hurts. I see you and all you could have been. I see all that you were. It just breaks my heart! D I hope you feel how much you are loved and missed.
Keep smiling for me. Send me lots of warm hugs and lots of signs that you are near. I know when you are close.
Love you so much bud!
Kisses and hugs.

Deetze,
What a great week here in Jackson Hole! The weather was great. Lots of hiking, water rafting and golfing. This is truly Gods country.
I really miss being able to share all this with you. I know that you are in the mountains when I am hiking up to the top. I could almost feel you next to me its so close to heaven.
I hope you are watching out for Bobby's mom Diane. We are all praying for her. I know that you and Bobby will keep her safe and help her get better real soon.
Please watch over Derek. Help him to make the right decisions. He needs a lot of help when it comes to love. We just want him to be happy!!! I know you were always able to talk sense into him so keep talking to him and help him do the right things. Help him with his job, to know when to move and when to stay put.
Give my love to Nanny D. I have been missing talking to her. Send Nan & Pop A my love.
I know you have a lot of new friends in heaven but I also know you are close to family. That makes me happy.
Dad still talks about how much he misses you. He needs some great signs and lots of signals. He knows when you are close. We all do. So please stay around and let us show you how much we love you. Don't leave us just yet.
The sky is the limit! And there are so many beautiful sunsets and sunrises here in Wyoming. So stay close and we will enjoy them together.
LOVE FOR KEEPS.

Hey Deetze,
Just thinking about you, and hope you feel the love. I miss you so very much. I know that you are watching over us.
I hope you are helping Aunt Susan and the girls watch over Uncle Dennis. You make sure you tell Uncle Jim and Uncle Tony to keep Uncle Dennis here with Aunt Susan. Tell your Uncles to put it in Uncle Dennis's ear to work hard so that he can go back to his house and his family.
I know you are always busy watching everyone. Please keep it up. We all need a special angel. You are that special angel to a lot of people, Me, Dad, Derek.
Dion I thank God for all the blessings that he has given me during my life. You and our family are my biggest gifts. My life has been full and I have been given lots to be thankful for.
If I could change anything It would only be to show you how much I loved you.
Keep me close and send me signs.

Good Morning Bud,
Thank you for being in my dreams last night. I got messages from you and Uncle Jim. he is staying very close to Aunt Jac and the kids. He is very proud of them.
You told me you were happy with the courage I had. You let me know that you are near and that you see how hard it is for us. But you told me to keep going and not to give up. That all will be fine with Derek and Dad. We are strong and we can overcome all the bad because there is so much good.
Deetze, I just woke up and these words just were in my head so I put them down knowing that you have tried to communicate with me through my dreams.
I am blessed!
Stay close to me today. Help me to have the patience to do a good job and make today happier and easier for others.
Love you so Much!

D, I hope you understand why I haven't written to you in a while. as you can see i have my hands and mind very occupied.
I am not complaining, I thank God for keeping me busy.
Dion, I still have time to talk to you when i am looking at the mountains or admiring the sunset. Your love is all around me. i like sharing those special time with you. i know you are listening to my heart. I know this because you always send some special sign to me just at the right moment. It may be the wind, or a bird or maybe a song that was one of your favorites. So D, I know you see me and hear me.
Stay close to me and Dad, and to your brother. we all need to feel your spirit around us in order to get through the days.
We all love you. I hope you enjoyed the Feast. I know you were there with all your cousins. I know that you cried with all of
them. Nanny Had to be so proud, and Pop Pop too. we are so fortunate to have such a loving family.
Bud you are still part of that wonderful group. All of your cousins and Aunts and Uncles remembered you especially on the day of the Feast with Nanny D.
You are Loved!

Another awesome day of spiritual connections.
God is all around me and i can feel your love too.
I saw the angels in the clouds and I thought of you.
I walked in the field of wildflowers and I felt you there.
Keep sending the love.
Thanks for watching over Derek and Dad.
I love you always. Hope to see you in my dreams tonight.

Deetze,
Its is amazing how you are connecting with me. I got your last message via a dream. It was very clear. You were walking along side of me in the mountains. You were talking to me. You told me to make sure that I knew the most important thing that you had to relay to me was that you loved me. You told me I was your angel and that I was a very sensitive person. You asked me to let go of the bad thoughts. You want all of us to remember all the happiness you had. You said you were sorry for the pain and burden that your death cause us.
You told me to focus on the wild flowers. To focus on all the beauty that can be found in all of Gods creations. You want me to surround myself with beauty and harmony. To keep my friends that make me happy and friends that are like me.
You kept talking about enjoying the flowers, to surround myself with beautiful flowers, you said I should buy flowers every week and think of them as if they were from you. D, that is weird because I love flowers but I hate cut flower only because they die. Then I realized that maybe you are trying to remind me of you. Even if they die the spirit carries on, Mom, when I died the fear was over. I am watching ever thing and I am with you always. It did not hurt, there was no pain, I just opened my eyes in a different place. Where everyone is happy, whole and content.
I am here for all of you and hope that you continue to communicate with me. Talk to me and share your thoughts with me. I will keep sending signs and show you that I am listening. Tell Derek that I am here for him I always will be. I may be invisible but if you look you will see I am not far. It may be a smell or a song or just a breeze that will remind you I am close by.
Dad knows that all he has to do is think of me and I will send him a sign to let him know that I am close. He is still hurting and I want to tell him that I am happy. He did everything he could for me. He was always there for me and I will always love him. He was and still is a great dad. Tell him not to be sad but to be happy for all of the great time he gave to me.
The dream ended with you walking with me to the river and the clouds started to surround the mountains. It began to rain and I said we better go. When I turned around I was very windy and you where gone.
Dion, thank you for the sweet dream. I have been picking a lot of flowers lately and walking along the river and in the mountains so I guess you where there with me and I know I was thinking of all of you in heaven.
I miss Dad and Der and I pray that you are keeping an eye on them. This dream answered all of my prayers.
I love you bud, the sky is the limit!
See you in the clouds.
Love Mom
July 2, 2013
Bud sorry it has been so long since I have sat down to write to you. I know that you know the reasons why. Mostly because I have been very busy with work. As you know I am in Wyoming now. I see why it is called Gods Place. The mountains are so magnificent in all there glory. The wildlife is like disney world and the skies don't get any bluer or the stars any brighter.
Sunday was an amazing day for me in so many ways. You were with me and I could tell you were leading me up the mountains and down into the valley. I stopped in a small shop to buy a coffee and a bagel. Next store over was a spiritual store, books on every religion , CD's, all kinds of crystals and spiritual objects. The girl asked me if I needed any help to ask her. I said I just was curious and wanted to know if she had any books on life after death. She did, and she showed me some, then she asked me if I had received any signs from anyone who had passed. I said yes all the time, but I would really like to see them in my dreams. She said she had books on how to train yourself how to dream about someone. She also said that certain crystals connect you with people that have passed on. I really wasn't interested at all, but she said let me show you some of the crystals I am thinking of and you hold them. She said sometimes people will pick up a crystal and immediately have a feeling or sensation like warmth or cold. I'm thinking yeah ok.... She brings out four all different shapes and sizes. My eyes go right to one of the smaller ones. It looked like a beautiful Icecycle. The biggest one was beautiful. She started to turn them over to tell me the codes on the back, the codes where the first initial of the crystals name, the second was initial was where it was mined and the third was code of A,B or C for the clarity. The first one I looked at that reminded me of an ice cycle had your initials on it D T A. I started to cry. I knew it was the one I had to buy. She told me to take it home and wash it good and put it in the sun to get energy. That night before I went to bed I held the crystal in my hands and just thought about you. I fell asleep and Dion I had the best dreams I ever had all about you and Dad and Derek. The strangest part was right before I woke up I dreamt that you came in my room while I was sleeping and somehow I sensed you or heard you. I looked into the window and your reflection was leaning over me as clear as a movie in HD. You leaned over and kissed me and I turned over to grab you and that is when I woke. I had my alarm set for 6 am and as I turned over and I heard myself say Dion don't go my alarm went off.
I love you bud! Thank you for being near me.
Stay close to Dad and Derek. They need you too.
Love Mom
June 15, 2013
Dion thank you for staying so close. You have been there for me all week. It has been a very stressful week but I put my faith in God. I know that everything that happens is his will. We might not like his plan at the moment, but it always turns out.
I want to make sure that I am remembered for being a good mom. I know I have made my mistakes but I have always put you and your brother first. It will always be that way. God gave me the great privilege of taking care of you two for him. I need to do my best. I am still learning with Derek. Please feel free to help me out any time you can give me a nudge.
Dad has been doing great!! He is really trying to help me in any way he can. Dad is great! I always told you I hoped you two would end up to be the man your dad is. God has blessed me.
D, I miss you every day. I know that Dad will have a very tuff time tomorrow wishing you were here. Please try to send dad a special Father's Day message. I will look for it for him.
We are having a Mass for you and Dad tomorrow. So I will talk to you then.
Dion I send you all my love, always.

Deetze,
What is it like in heaven when its rainy here. Is it sunny all the time? I love the rain but this is been a bit too much. I puts you in a very blue mood.
Of course I think about you having fun with all the beautiful angels. I was hoping that you were watching what was going on here. Something tells me you were. I want to thank you for that. Another gift from God.
Dion I need you to keep a close eye on Derek. He is all we have here and he is our life. We want him to be happy and healthy. Please help him out with his problems and questions. I know you can get through to him. He needs someone he can trust and listen to him.
He does not share with me and Dad. He is a very private person. I respect that, but I am his mother and I can tell when something is not right. Please try to get him to open up to us.
D, we miss you so very much. We are all affecteded by losing you. More than people realize.
Just know that you are thought of every day and loved as much as ever.
Stay close and send lots of signs. Especially to Derek.
Love you bud, always will.

Its Memorial Day, 2013.
I woke up today and thanked God that neither you or Derek had to go to fight in any wars. So many mothers who have lost their son or daughters to these terrible wars. It is certainly a day to pay our respects to these hero's.
Then I remembered the hero that you were. I will never forget how heroic you were. How you kept things to yourself. I don't know how you slept the last 3 years of your life. I wish I would have known so I could have been there for you. I would had never left you alone. But D, I get that was the reason you kept it to yourself. You did not want us to worry or lose sleep. You are my hero today and always. I honor you right along with the many people that get the news and have this battle to fight.
How can I show you how much you mean to me. I am trying to live and remember all of our great times. I know that is what you wanted. I have guilty feelings if I have a good day. But I know that you want me to be happy. I just want you to know that you are in my heart always. Happy or sad! You are with me throughout the day and all through the nights. You are an extension of my being and therefore you are with me always.
On this Mememorial Day I want you to know that while all of your friends and family are at the beach celebrating that I have not left you out. And I am pretty sure your friends are missing you too. I know they are because they invited Dad and me to thier picnic at the beach. Derek really wanted us to go too. So you see you are very much missed and still loved.
So with all my heart I send a great big hug and lots of love to you today.
Keep close and visit me in my dreams.
Love MOM

GOOD MORNING BUD.
JUST WOKE UP THINKING ABOUT YOU. THAT MEANS TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY. I WILL HAVE MY ANGEL BY MY SIDE. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START OFF THE NEW WEEK.
PLEASE STAY CLOSE AND LET ME KNOW YOU ARE NEAR. MY HEART IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU. YOU CAN MAKE IT FULL BY SENDING ME GREAT REMINDERS OF YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FUNNY STORIES. D, HOW I MISS HEARING YOUR STORIES. HOW I MISS YOUR LAUGH. ITS VERY HARD BECAUSE YOU WERE ALWAYS LAUGHING AND SINGING, EXCEPT WHEN YOU WERE NAPPING. THAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO. TAKE A LONG NAP AFTER WORK.
I HOPE YOU GET PLENTY OF REST IN HEAVEN. BUT I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY WITH THE CHILDREN. BE A LOVING ROLL MODEL, THEY NEED LOTS OF LOVE.
STAY NEAR AND SEND ME MY HUGS.

Detze,
How I miss you. I just think about you all the time. I think about what you would be doing. Who you would be with.
What could have been for you.
I know you are watching out for Derek. He is finally happy. It makes us all happy, and I know that you are leading him to make wise choices. He seems to have found a great girl. We all went to church together today. It was like the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. When we came out of church I looked up in the clouds and asked you for a sign. I wanted to know if you were with us or had some thing to do with the way the day was working out. Just as I looked up there was a cloud in the shape of a M.
It was clear to me that you heard my question, and I got your sign. We all headed to the beach and had a great lunch. Jennifer is a sweet girl and I hope you had something to do with thier getting together. Keep Derek on the right path. He loves you and you can still be a great roll model.
Dion I miss you and wish you were here to see how happy he is. I know that you would be very proud of the way your brother turned out. Stay close to him.
We all need you in our lives. Dad needs to feel your love and so do I. We want you to know that all of our happiness is with you in mind.
Stay near, send me lots of warm hugs and lots of signs that you hear me talking to you.
D, I love you as much as today as I did the day you where born, even more,
Keep close! Stay forever young,

Today is Mother's Day. Since you are so close to Nanny D and Nanny Amendola please let them know how much I miss them. I know that you are celebrating with them and Grandma. They are all loved and missed.
I really missed you especially today. In church all the mothers were with Thierry sons& daughters. My heart acked for you. You and Derek are my life. You two gave me purpose. I loved being your mom! We had such a special relationship. Derek has been such a joy and has really been there for me. I know he is trying to keep things together for YOU. I know you are proud of him.
We miss you everyday. You are never out of my head or my heart.
So today for Mother's Day I need pro to feel my love and send it right back to me. Let me know that you are feeling the love I am sending to you.

Dion,
It so strange writing to you on this site. It asks me who am I searching for. I don't feel like I'm searching for you. You are always with me, but those words throw me. I do search my heart for all of our happy times that we shared. And yes, there where many. I also remember your sweet smile and through that smile I saw a kind, loving, bright, happy son. I am so proud that I had the chance to be your mom. I was so blessed to have you in my life. Dion, you truley where a gift from God. You made all of our lives full of happiness and joy. So I peel off the layers one by one to get to my broken heart. Just to keep all that love you put in there. I need to keep it all alive and remember how great it was when you where here with us.
You were so special that now that I look back I should have know that you where a special gift that only comes along once in a life time. I hope that I was the Mom that you needed me to be. I pray that I was your friend when you really needed a friend. And I pray that you got all the love that you needed from us to let you know how much of a treasure you where. You will always be that little boy at tee ball, the young man that loved his cars, the guy who looked forward to the weekends, football, beach and downtown fun.
