Nonno,
One year has past since I have kissed you or crawled up next to you like your little granddaughter. Today will be the end of "your book" but I will write you all the time in my heart and mind. Everyone is looking after Jenny, Daddy too. You would be so proud of the children. It hurts Nonno. I love you and I will see you one day...don't you worry. We will all be together again. I miss you.

Nonno.....I only have to the 21st of this month and then they close this guest book. I will write you in my heart and mind every day. There was a big party for Madison and Peyton. Everyone was there and got along just fine. Lucille brought Jenny and then they were going to Carolina. I got her a Mother's Day card. We all missed you
but you would be proud of everyone. I hate saying good-bye, but it is just writing in a little book. You will live on with us forever, or until we meet again. Give everyone in Heaven a kiss for me. I love you Nonno...I miss you so very much.

More tests today Nonno, and chaos at my home. Hop to it, you know you can.We have an army of those who love Dad. I miss you Nonno, and wanted to cry in mom's arms so badly today. Sometimes I feel so all alone. Jeff works alot, but how can I be father and husband when I can barely manage wife and mother!

Hello Nonno -
I just wanted to say hello and that I have been thinking about you. We all stay in touch with Jennie. Nonno I miss explaning my stupid decisions to you everytime you would call. Anyway...I love you. I gave George the gift for Christmas. I put your picture in a shadow box with a piece of the bench and the track from Hialeah Speedway. I do believed he loved it. You were missed.

We will be missing you today, Nonno.
I sent Jennie a card with pictures of some of the kids. You would be so proud of Aric. Kyle is a fine young man now...even has normal hair like you wanted. Nikki is very smart and beautiful, except I need you and your machetti to chase the boys away like you used to for me. You were always right, Nonno...always right. The baby is so beautiful and sees you every now and again. She will say your name out of the blue. This comforts me. Jamie needs some help Nonno. A lot of help. Daddy and Marc are waiting on a miracle. The office isn't doing very well. Lindsay and Kelly are wonderful young ladies. Megan,Madison and Peyton are making you proud every day. It's sad without you. I love you. Kiss Mommy and Nonnie for me.

Me again.....Uncle Buddy is on his way too. The world has gone mad. Daddy is going home to Pennsylvania to see everyone and to attend the funeral. He is sad because he can't go to both funerals. Please have the angels keep the plane up.

Nonno, please keep an eye out for my Aunt Cookie...she is on her way.Help her find Mommy so all the sisters could be together again and laugh and sing and dance as I remember them doing every Wednesday as a child. Sometimes Mom would even let me play hookie just so I could play with them. Lindsay has a beautiful icon of you on her LJ (I know you don't know what that is)and I have the poster we made for your service of all of your pictures on the wall by out dinner table. Summie tried to "out run" me the other day the same way that I did when I drew coal on the patio wall under construction. I however wasn't as fast as you. We were looking at little go-carts and stuff for Summer to ride in the back yard. I laugh and cry at the same time thinking of you. It really was Marc's fault that I ran you over!!!! I love you Nonno and I am so sorry for the times that I was an idiot, as many as they were.

Hi Nonno,
I just wanted to let you know that I bought a Christmas ornament for Jennie with your name on it for remembering you this holiday. Like we can even think of anything else.
Nonno, I have never seen everyone this sad before. As much as we used to poke fun, you were certainly the glue that held us all together. My heart hurts for you every day. I love you. Summie says she sees you from time to time out of the blue. She points and says your name. One day she wiped my tears and said "Heaven"

Hi Nonno,
I really do not have anything important to say other than that I am thinking of you and missing you very much. I have a nice man who is going to send me a piece of the bench and race track from Hialeah Speedway. I am going to surprise George with it for Christmas. Holidays will not be nice this year. I hear Jenny seems sad lately.I'll make it a point to call her tomorrow to check on her. I love you Nonno.

Hi Nonno,
I just wanted to let you know that George went to Hialeah Speedway Saturday night. It had their final race...ever. It seems only fitting that they are closing their gates since you can no longer take George there. I havn't spoken to him yet but I am sure he sat in the same seats that we always used to. I am sure he wept when he was leaving as I am doing now. You may not be in our arms but you are still very fresh in our hearts.

It's me again Nonno. Had a rough day today. Had to shop for greeting cards. It just felt so empty and wrong not buying you a Father's Day and Birthday card this year. My heart breaks for Daddy. Things are calming down a little and he is starting to realize that you are not in our world any longer. We are all staying united as you always wanted and everyone is looking out for Jenny. She feels very safe and warm in your home. She knows that you are visiting her. Summer Rain let me know you were watching us the other day. She pointed and repeated your name over and over again. I monitor this guest book several times a day just to feel close to you. I best get some rest I love you and send love to all who rest beyond Heaven's gate. Melanie

Dear Nonno,
I love you and miss you very much. To me you were strong, kind and loving, alot like my grandfather. I never met another man in this world as dedicated to his family as you were. Your house was a place to visit that was full of peace, comfort and unconditional love. My children and I have so many good memories at your house with Jennie. Remember carving the pumpkin that Madison brought over last Halloween, that was great fun. I know you are in peace in Heaven and missed much here on earth. Please tell my grandmother that I miss her so so much and thank her for swinging the blind cords in my house. It helps to know she is watching over my family and I. Tell Madison's twin that her sister made it and is such a beautiful, smart and healthy child. You hold a very special place in my heart and someday we will be together again. I love you.
Love, Stephanie

Hi Nonno,
I miss you alot. Sunday we went to visit Jennie and I went back to your bedroom looking for you. My mommy reminded me you went to Heaven and then Jennie gave me your singing bear. I took my little brother's blanket and wrapped the bear up and held him tight the whole way home. I will never forget when you told me that I was the most beautiful baby you had ever seen when I was born. Thank you for buying me my first car, the pink one that I would walk all over the house in. I love you Nonno.
Love, your little Madison

Dear Nonno,
You will always hold a very special place in my heart. I treasure the "lunch hours" we used to spend together at the office, you were always so proud of your son and his family and their many accomplishments. Such a devoted family man you were and always a kind word about my "Daddy" and Mother.
Godspeed, dear Nonno. I will miss you.
Love,

Dear Nonno,
I miss you. Having you as my father in law was a blessing. You always had open arms and a loving word for me. Your optimistic attitude and smiling face was contagious.I could count on a visit with you being the best part of my day. I will remember and love you always.
Kelly and I visited Jenny yesterday. She is being brave, forever loving you, telling cute stories of how the ladies at the Clubhouse pool would flirt with you and call you "Nicky". So adorable. When she heard that, she teased and said," Well, you aren't allowed there alone again." You just laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about me, Jenny."
Cookie Vieira sent us a Spiritual Treasure. Inside it reads "To hallow the memory and bless the soul and to implore God's tenderest blessings." Nick Poveromo has been enrolled in the Sacred Heart and will share in the daily Mass and prayers offered for all members of the Society Spiritual Society.
I will keep you forever in my heart,Nonno.

Hi Nonno, It's Melanie again. I wanted to send you a poem that I have.I do not know the author's name, but I have had it for 26 years, so my guess is you might be playing Pokeno with him/her now.
"A MILLION TIMES I'VE NEEDED YOU, A MILLION TIMES I'VE CRIED, IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU, YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE DIED. IN LIFE I LOVED YOU DEARLY, IN DEATH I LOVE YOU STILL,FOR IN MY HEART YOU HAVE A PLACE THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL 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." Tell Mommy that I miss her and cry about her everyday STILL,Tell Nonnie that I hope her feet are warm and buy my baby Casey a bunch of goats and take her to the "King's Pony Farm" in the sky. XXOO

Dear Poveromo Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I'm a friend of Lindsay's, and have come to know Nonno through the wonderful stories she would write in her journal, with pictures and all. He was very lucky to have such a loving family, including a beautiful and talented great-granddaughter to praise him.
My thoughts are with you all.

My Nonno,I have had you for over 40 years but I am not doing so well the first day without you. I know I was the wild child of the kids, but I always had hopes that you would have been proud of me. I took in so many kids to replace the wonderful, loving life that you helped give me as a child. I love you
