Happy Birthday Michael!!!
Days like today never get any easier even with time. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think or talk to you. 7 years and counting without being able to celebrate holidays, birthdays,births etc with you. My memories can never be taken away this I am grateful for. You would be so proud of your granddaughter Carmela along with Marissa. Marissa has grown into such a beautiful caring women and now "mom"!! I know in my heart that your unconditional love and support through the years has influenced who she has become today. Carmela will know the special loving grandfather you would have been thru all the love and support she will get from your family including and especially from your daughter. Watch over us Michael and know with every breath I take you will live on as long as I'm on this earth. Never forgotten my brother!!!
Love you always, Debbie

Michael,
It's hard to believe that 6 years have now passed since you left the world too soon and I still miss you!! As the days and years pass I still miss you. As the pain of grief softens, I still miss you. As new memories are made with friends and family, I still miss you. As I smile and laugh, remembering your angelic smile and the sound of your laughter, I still miss you. Today and everyday, I still miss you. I will love, treasure and miss you all the days of my life.

You never said “I'm leaving”
You never said “goodbye”
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.
There are no words to tell you
Just what I feel inside
The shock, the hurt, the anger
Might gradually subside
A million times I'll need you
A million times I'll cry
If Love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home
Things will never be the same
And all though it hurts so bad
I will smile whenever I hear your name
And be proud you were my Dad.

Michael,
4 years is fastly approaching us. Where has the time gone? It still seems like yesterday to me. I'm sure you already know that not one day goes by that you don't cross my mind. You are missed today as much as you were missed the first day without you. We all keep your spirit alive by sharing special memories that will never be forgotten.I still can hear your voice in my head and I miss it soooooo.... much.Please watch over Greg this week as he will be needing your love and support as much as the rest of your family members. Mike,you live on in all of us so time doesn't matter. Till we meet again RIP......

I can't seem to get you out of my mind lately. I feel I have so much to tell you. There are so many things you could help with. I just don't understand, why you? Why so soon? I love you so so so much, and I miss you even more.
Until we meet again daddy.

As I sit here watching Nick, Steven, Bella and Ashley swim in the pool, laughing and joking, I can only imagine you doing a giant cannonball right over them into the pool while yelling "Fat guy in a little pool"!! This is only one of the thousands of times that I imagine your comments and what you would say in any given situation. I can honestly say that you live on with us in every way... Not a family time goes by that we don't laugh about something that you have said or done. The boys always ask me to reiterate the story about you threatening my life "if I ever put Crocs on your nephews"!!! I was so angry when you passed that I tried to buy them for the boys just to spite you and guess what, they hated them so I couldn't make the purchase :) They always were "your boys"!!!!!! You are the big brother that I never had and I cherish each and every memory that we have made.
Loving and missing you always,
Kim

There is not a day that goes by that you do not cross my mind, but I can honestly say the most difficult days for me to get through are Father's Day and your birthday. Most likely because those were the days I spent celebrating you. The last birthday that you shared here on Earth with us was truly a blast, and I will never forget the joy that came across your face as Mamma and I walked into the restaurant. There is nothing that I would not do to see that smile or hear your voice again, but unfortunately that is not how things work. However, we (your family) have not let you die. You live through each and everyone one of us - the memories you left us with are unforgettable. The man that you were was one of a kind and there just is no replacement - not even a close second. As tears roll down my face, I think of how much I miss you and how you were the best father a girl could hope for.
Happy Birthday Daddy!!
Love You Always & Forever
Your Baby Girl

4 birthday years unable to be celebrated with us family,friends and loved ones.You will never be forgotten today or anyday for that matter. We celebrate you with every memory and being within ourselves daily. I miss you so so much the pain in my heart aches. To see you one more time still wouldn't be enough, greedy I guess. Wish we could go back in time and have you back here with us that's what I wish. Unfortunately this will not happen or can't happen. If I were a magician that would be my "magic". Michael please shine down on us tomorrow and let us know that your okay and still here with us.I will be remembering that great big smile and beautiful unforgettable voice I miss terribly.
"HAPPY 45th BIRTHDAY MICHAEL"
you live on in all of us........till we meet again my brother. XOXOXOXO

Just returned from Aruba with Joe and Ash and all I could see and think about was you while being on that beautiful island. I could imagine your beautiful smile and over all happiness you had when it came to places like that. I know you loved warm and sunny places like Aruba so it brought some peace to me knowing you have PEACE everyday even though it's not here with us. Miss you and never a moment in the day goes by that your not in my heart or mind.

Hi my brother,
It's been a while since i've written to you in your guest book. I'm sure you know that Gail has been taken from us too. I know that she's w/ you in a better place free from pain and hurt. Your passing brought Gail back to church and god which I'm sure you already knew. I still miss you with every passing day. Watch over our family Michael and guide us thru this challenging path called "life"......

Mike,
3 years when it feels like just yesterday that you were here with us all. It's a tough day for us all and it hasn't got any easier, but I'm trying to stay strong and celebrate you today. I want to celebrate everything you were to me and what we shared as brother and sister. That connection will never end as long as I'm alive or until we meet again.....
Your love and spirit lives in me and I hope to make you proud in sharing all the memories and stories that still makes me smile and laugh, but that was who you were Michael. You were a very special son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend to everyone who loved and knew you. May your spirit live on in us all. God bless you and may you be @ peace until we meet again.
Luv, xoxoxo Debbie

THINKING OF YOU TODAY
September 21, 2011
Michael,
Missing you,feeling you more and more each day. It must be the time of year. Not easy thats all I can say. I hear your voice and miss your beautiful smile and harassing words of wisdom. I'm sure you know it's not getting any easier with time. I still get physically sick when I allow myself to really sit and think about you. It's funny how your mind works and allows you to go on and puts thoughts so hard to deal with in a special "hiding" place. Three very difficult years is approaching so quickly and let's just say I'm not looking forward to your anniversary, such a horrible memory and loss my brother. I try to engulf all the good memories and thoughts but I feel cheated on so many more but they say we can't take life for granted and it's soooooo sooooo true.
Until we meet again Michael, tears of love to you always.........
Luv, your sister Debbie

Hi Daddy, I love and miss you so much - it is still so surreal that this is my only communication to you. Call me crazy, but I am still awaiting your return. Why are yo not here? I question this everyday? Why you? My everything... My one and only... My rock... My foundation... I need you right now.. I did really well so far, but right now I'm at a crossroad and I don't know what to do without you. I knew all your answers up until now. Send me a sign please - anything. I need your guidance now more than ever - I know I won't let you down I refuse but I just want your words and approval. I love you dad and you were THE BEST DAD A GIRL COULD ASK FOR - despite your thoughts... I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING INSIDE

They said this would get easier, they said that time would heal, but the fact remains that nothing will fill the emptiness I have inside. There are so many things I still want to ask you. Although, I can speak to people about things NOTHING can compare to your responses. It's like for approximately 2.5 years I have been lost, I feel like a blind girl walking. You always told me life was unfair, and that I couldn't chose the cards I was dealt and boy did I learn that the hard way. I would give it all to just hear your voice one more time and maybe have one more BIG hug. Help me continue to get through this, please.
I miss you so much, MY hero <3

Happy Valentine's Day My Love,
Here it is,another Valentine's day without my other half. I miss you so much everyday,but today is even more difficult. I think about what would we be doing, etc. I will never forget our first Valentine's day together. It was such a magical evening. I remember when you requested and had them dedicate " One and a million" to me and being the only two people on the dance floor. Had there been more than just us on the dance floor, i still think i would've felt like we were the only two people in the world. Thank you for giving me so many beautiful memories my love. You are and will forever be My Valentine !! xoxo Forever, Melissa

February 8, 2011
Hey Daddy,
It's so hard to have this be the only way to communicate with you, but I believe that you would be very proud of me and my decisions. Ok, maybe not ALL but that would be unrealistic. There is not one day I do not think of you or want to hear your voice. I would give it all to hear you yell, "Daddys here!!!" as you walk in and see Pariss & Romeo run up to you with all their love and kisses. I feel like it was yesterday when I visited Miami in October of 2008 and I came home and my pups would only eat BallPark Hot Dogs microwaved for 25 seconds exactly, because like you did for me, you spoiled them. Tears fill my eyes knowing that until the day I part from this life I will not be able to share any moments with you physically. I have put on a few pounds, I would love to hear you say "It looks like you could skip a few meals" as you poke my belly. I don't know why I was robbed from the #1 person in my life, but I suppose everything does happen for a reason. I try to be happy as much as possible for I know that is what you would want, but sometimes it is so difficult. Please, please continue to guide me in the right direction. You should know you still have every inch of my heart, BUT OUR family (as you knew) is doing an impeccable job with me. I do not know what I would do without them in my life. I am so happy that I was born into our family, Dad you were 100% correct when you use to tell me that there is NO other love like that. It is not the same without you, and it never will be, but we will NEVER forget you and we will ALWAYS continue your LEGEND through the amazing memories you gave us in your 41 years of life.
Until we meet again <3
February 8, 2011
Michael My Love,
I can't believe how much time has gone bye, since you were taken away from us. And yet, i still can't let you go. I love and miss you as much as i did then. I know more than anything that you would want me to move on and be happy. I just haven't gotten there yet. I will never let go. Our love meant the world to me, and still does. Know that you are a part of me forever and you will be, until we are back in eachothers arms again.
All my Love,

I would like to take this time and thank Kevin and Robin Lissi for extending Michaels' guest book. I feel horrible saying this but I'm not sure how you guys knew my brother but I'm sure he had to make some type of impact on your lifes in order for you to do such a wonderful gesture. If you'd like to share on how you knew Michael it would be greatly appreciated by me and my family. Michael knew alot of people that we didn't know thru work contacts, other friends etc.. The family can not tell you enough on how much this has been such a helpful tool in the process of dealing w/ the loss of Michael. It still seems so unreal to all of us even after 2 yrs. but seeing all of the great comments and memories people have of my brother does console us daily. Thank you once again Kevin and Robin from my entire family for another year of an opportunity to share and hear the memories people have of Michael. Michael you have so much to be proud of in your life here on earth you made such good friends and family that is ""priceless"" you matter to us all even from afar my brother.

You and Frankie are in my thoughts and prayers.I know that you're an angel watching over your family, please watch over your brother Greg, he needs you. He hasn't been the same since you went to heaven. Give him strenght. I miss him very much. He's a great person and doctor. He was lost without you and Frankie.

Michael My Love,
I can't believe it's been two years since you were taken from us. Living without you is still such a struggle for me. Not a day goes by that i don't miss and long to be with you again. I miss that beautiful smile, your laugh, your touch, but then i miss everything about you. I will never understand why god took away the most amazing person i will ever know. You brought joy to everyone who was lucky enough to have you in there life. I was so blessed to have been loved by you and my love for you, will never end. I will love, miss and remember you for all the days of my life, until we're together again. With all of My Love always,

Thinking of you today, hoping your with Frankie and looking down on us all knowing we'll all be together someday. Carrie Underwood has a song called "temporary home" and it states that our time here on earth is a temporary home not where we belong, just a stop to where we're going. Mike you and Frankie are where we belong until we meet again in our permanent home. Miss and love you both beyond words.

Daddy, the last heart felt message I attempted to post did not go thru for some reason, so I am going to make this sweet and short. There is not one day that passes that I don't think of you. I can't begin to explain how much I miss you and what I would give to have you back!! I am attempting to accomplish so much to continue your legacy and make you so so proud of me, but it isn't always easy especially without your constant pushing me and constant reminders of your genuine happiness for me. No one will ever be able to do the things you did for me, or make me feel the way you did. I have a void in me that will never be filled, the only thing I can do is continue to strive for what you would've wanted me to be!
I love you.

I would give anything on earth to beable to see, touch and feel you once again., but if only for a moment. It's been almost two years and i've yet to move on. I still miss, love and think of you everyday. I still don't understand.... I'm so tired of feeling lost and empty inside, and searching for something that i now feel is impossible. I sometimes wonder if i can't move on because i don't want to lose you or what we shared.Please give me strength and guide me in the right direction.. I will love you always.. xoxo Melissa

Can't believe the amount of time that has gone by since you left us. I still miss you every second of each day. Time hasn't healed the wounds by anyways of the means. I actually feel it's harder. I listen to your voice everyday, sometimes it helps and other days I wish I hadn't becuz of the emptiness I feel without you here.
Your memory will never die Mike thats due to the fact that while you were here on this earth you impacted so many peoples lives. They say to love hard is to lose hard and this I believe is so true. I wouldn't change the strong love and bond we shared for anything even this hard loss I feel evey second. I hope it will make me a stronger individual someday.
Luv your sister Debbie XXOOXOXO

My Love,
Well here it is another birthday, that i have to live without you. I'm consumed today with memories of our trip in Aruba. The week that you took me to Aruba , for my birthday, was the best week of my entire life. So many magical moments and beautiful memories were created there, that i will never forget. I carry them in my heart forever. You told me on that trip, that you wanted to make it an annual tradition for us. God, how i wish that was true. I love and miss you more than i could ever put into words. Your with always. I've shed many tears today. Some tears of happiness recalling all of our beautiful times together, and sad tears because i would give anything on earth to be with you once again. Thank you for giving me so many amazing moments baby. I love you now & forever. xoxo Melissa
My favorite place to be... in my baby's arms..

Michael My Love...
God, how i miss you baby. This has been a very difficult week for me. I dreamt of you on Wednesday night and it was beyond real. I could see you, touch you, feel you and smell you. It was overwhelming. And when i awoke and opened my eyes, i could smell you. It was amazing to feel you and be with you again. But also heartbreaking at the same time, because it's what i long for every moment of everyday. I spent the next day with Grandma. She took me into her arms and said Tinkerbell, Michael was the great love of your life, that will never change. I told her that was an under statement. She adored you. I can't believe it's been 18 months my love. And i still ache for you everyday. I love and miss you more than i could ever put into words.
With all of my undying love.

"Little I knew that morning God was going to call your name in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone for part of me went with you the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again."
Daddy, there is not a day that goes by that I do not sit and think of you. I wish you were here more than anything in the world, you were my life and my guidance and since you left this earth I've felt so lost. I doubt I will ever feel complete again and this void I have will never ever be filled, but there are times that I feel your presence and it brings a smile to my face. You were and always will be my everything.
I love you Daddy.

Dear Mrs. DeCrescenzo, Mr. DeCrescenzo, Debbie, Bobby, and Greg,
I just learned of the passing of your son and brother Mike, and my heart just sank. I grew up with Greg and went all through school with him since kindergarten. I remember going to your house to play when I was young. I always looked up to Greg and his brothers. I wasn't the most athletic or popular kid but you guys were always good to me even as a little kid. I remember going to Mike and Joel's gym in high school, and even though I was just a skinny kid, Mike always made me feel like one of the big guys. He was always so nice to me, always encouraging, always building your confidence. He always made you feel like you belonged, I'll never forget that. Please accept my sincere condolences.
With warmest regards~

My Endless Love....
I feel so lonely and empty inside without you. Every moment of everyday. After all this time, i'm still lost. I go on day to day, and it only feels as though i'm existing but not happily living. It's truly unbearable. Nobody understands, but then how could they. The day you slipped away in my arms so did a big part of me. I think it will always be with you. I desperately miss the way you looked at me, and you telling me how you could look into my eyes forever, and that you got lost in them. God how i miss that amazing feeling. It's for that and so many other reasons that it's impossible to be truly happy without you. No matter where i go or what i do there is always something missing....and that is YOU !!! xoxo Forever my love...

My Love.....
I miss you so much Baby. It's crazy to realize exactly how much time has passed since you were taken away from us, and yet it's not getting any easier to accept the fact that your never coming back to me. Everyday people tell me Melissa, you need to stop, you need to move on, and yet i just can't seem to do it. I miss and think of you every second of everyday. This is so difficult baby. I know you were the most amazing beautiful person that i will ever know. How do you let that go?? Please give me strenght baby. I love you today, tomorrow, and forever. Until we meet again my love.
xoxo Melissa
