I miss you so very much. Today is a year since you've been gone. I have some really crazy things going on at the house. I laugh because I know it's you laughing at me. I truly love you and miss you so very much. If you can hear what we have to say I would like to say Mario Vincent Macri I LOVE YOU. people ask me all the time how do I deal with what has happened and my answer is your answer, we start to live when we die. That is what you believed and no one knows what really happens when we die. I went to visit your dad again with you. You know what I found there and you know that what I did was the right thing.

Hey Bro, so it's been one year today that you have been gone. I believe you will always be with me!!!! I miss your jokes, and pranks, and I really miss your laugh. You were one in a trillion, I wish you were here right now to tell me my sneakers are ugly, and I sing way too loud.I talk to you every day, and see the signs you send. Thank you for keeping watch over me. I keep hoping that your not really gone forever and some day you might just show up at my house. It's been so hard trying to believe that you've passed over to the other side of life. I get so sad because I didn't get to say goodbye, or make you laugh one more time. You were such an important part of my life Vin, it just hasn't been the same with out you in it. I will always cherish the time, the laughs, the years we had. I will keep you alive in my heart, and in our stories forever my brother!! I love you so much, I will never forget you. Love your sister Midge.

Margaret Neumann

May 28, 2012

Hey Dude, Thank you for your presence today, I really needed it!! I felt you with me at the mass, and by John's grave site. I felt you with me when I drove by some of your old apartments, and when I sent the flowers down river today, I bet you were laughing when some of them landed in the tree, I was!!! I knew you were with me when all the Zeppelin kept playing on all the stations I was tuning in on my radio. The only thing is Dude...........I needed you to say, "Oh my God, your singing so loud"!!!!!!!! I miss you telling me I sing too loud, some times I did it on purpose just to hear you say it!!! It's the little things like that I seriously miss!!! I said a lot to you today at John's grave, and I meant every word of it!!!!!!!!! I miss ya man, I wish you were here, to tell me how to drive, that my sneakers are queer, and to just laugh with me over all the dumb stuff we found so funny!!!!!!!!!!!! Who else knew exactly what we were talking about when one of us would say, "Hey that guy over there looks like a swiss cheese sandwich"!!!!!! I loved that stupid stuff!!! And I loved how we would make grandpa yell, and he'd swear at us in Italian, dad too!!!! I saw all the hawks today, that were soaring over the north way, and I knew you'd be with me for the day, thank you!!!! I miss ya my Bro, and I always will!!!!!!!!! Love to you forever, your sister, Midge.

Hey Dude,
The other day when I was watching t.v. I saw something that was totally you!! Ever since you were a kid you always loved those green Shamrock shakes from Mickey'Ds, so, yesterday on Saint Patty's day, I sent one to you down the river in a little boat I made. It may seem stupid to some one who didn't know you or grow up with you... but to me it made perfect sense. I've said it so many times, and I wish I could say it to your face, I miss ya Dude, and love ya a lot. I hope ya liked the Alice in Chains songs I was playing while "The Green Kind" was sailing down stream to you!!!! I even said that out loud, "Oh I got the green kind" just like you used to say when you got one of those shakes, or pistachio ice cream!!! I miss ya man!!!!!!!!!!!! Love your sister Midge.

Margaret Neumann

February 21, 2012

Hey Bro, I can't believe six months have passed since you took your journey to the other side of life. I still miss you every day, and wish you were here to laugh at stupid stuff with me. I feel your presence, and I see your signs, thank you!! And....... Thank you for watching over me and my family!!!! I've got so many things to tell you, some are really funny, I find myself saying these things out loud, hoping you hear them, but I'd much rather tell them directly to you, and you could tell me to go eat some butter!!!! Or tell me my shoes were queer, and you were gonna throw them out the car window like you did with Joe's glasses on our way to Great Escape. Six months are gone, and I can't believe that time has flown by so quickly, life fly s by so fast. This summer Pop's will be gone 9 years, that seems so surreal!!!! I miss you Dude, I miss ya a lot!!! Hey remember we used to see who could hang up first when we were on the phone.. Hey... ya Know What..... What???? Click!!!!!! I miss that !!!!!!!! Love to you my Brother!!!!! Love your sister, Midge.

MY MR. VINNIE. MY GORGEOUS MAN I CANT WAIT TO REDO MY LIFE WITH YOU. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH

My true best friend

Scott Cone

February 19, 2012

Hi Vinnie it is Scott, I know I have not wrote to you before but that is only because I did not know this page existed. As my mom said Hunter passed away the other day because he was hit by a car. I know how much you loved animals and would say to me a lot that you like them more than people, I understand how you feel now. Hunter was my true best friend and nothing on this earth will change that, I know if you were still here Hunter would still be alive. You used to always let him in at night when I could not due to my own selfish desires. Hunter died 2/13/12 the day before his birthday, I would have been able to wish him a happy birthday if I was a better friend and a better owner to him. I am a wreck without him, every time I go home I imagine him following me around the house like he always did and doing all the things that made me smile. I could sit here and talk about all the things he did that made me laugh and smile, but then by time I would be done there would have been a books worth of words here. Please find hunter and take care of him until I get there Vinnie, I will miss you both always. I will leave a picture here for you to remember him by and to recognize him easier. Please find him.

February 16, 2012

Hey, I am back again, I wanted to let you know that hunter passed away, he was ran over. please look for him at heaven's door and keep him til scott can have him back. You loved hunter while you were on earth and now you can love him in heaven... do you remember me calling you vinnie and you hated that name????

February 4, 2012

Vinny I feel like I knew you for such a longtime. You grew on me right away. All the words Veronica wrote are true. You captured the heart's of so many people. I only knew you a short time but you will be in my heart and mind forever. You were a true, honest, kind person. I liked how you took everything in that you saw and heard. You quest for knowledge was apparent. You know Veronica and you were meant to be as one. Your family was blessed.
fondly,
Robin

I think everyday why I got to have you in my life once again just for you to leave. Please watch over my kids and yours. It's weird because I always say to kenzie that you have one brother so get along and she says no mom I have three, I say where the hell do you get three and kenzie says Scott, Kevin and John. I wish you were here to see all the love that everyone has for you. Mario I love you and Miss you.

Mr. Mario. I thought moving on to try to keep you off my mind was the right thing to do. I was very wrong. You are on my mind all the time. I know in my heart how much you loved me and I know you know how much I love you. Someday I will make my way to heave to see Melinda and you. Melinda gets the first big hug and then you both get my love forever.

December 25, 2011

Mr. Mario, Kenzie and I took you to see your dad at the cemetary, when we got there it was very dark. I laid your ashes on your dad's grave and told him Merry Christmas from your son and please take me to heaven. God I love you so much and don't know how to get you out of my mind. Some day when I get to heaven, I know you will be waiting to show me the way. I love you so very much and miss you more than you could ever imagine. Merry Christmas the love of my life. I hold you so close to my heart and you are definately my soul mate. I can feel how much ive lost with out you to be by my side.

Margaret Neumann

December 24, 2011

Hey Dude, It's Christmas Eve, and I went down to where I set your ashes free, and sailed a hand made boat away with some of your favorite things in it.Pistachios, peanut butter cups,home made peanut butter cookies,and candy,and I had Judas Priest cranking on the car stereo!! I bet you thought it was hilarious that I got my jeans and sneakers all wet and I banged my ankle on a rock!! I thought it was pretty funny!! I should try and find a Hess truck, and sail that off to you!! I miss ya Vin, Christmas is here, and I wish you were too. Peace Brother, on Christmas and everyday. I love ya Dude!! Love your sister Midge!!

Margaret Neumann

December 21, 2011

Hey little Bro, it's been four months since you took your journey to the other side, and I still can't believe you are gone. I've been thinking about Christmas when we were kids, and you always got a new Hess truck every year. You loved those things!!!! I remember we always ate all of our stocking candy in one day, and couldn't wait to go to grandma and grandpas house for presents and dinner. If you were here I know what I would have given you as a present this year.... tickets to see Motor head and Megadeth. I was thinking about you the other day, and I heard that concert announcement on the radio, and then I saw "the sign" from you. I wish you were here Vin, I miss ya so much. I wish you were here in my house right now so I could say "Merry Christmas, I got ya some queer shoes",,and then pull out tickets for Motor head!!! I think about you every day, and I wish I could have had more time as your sister. Peace to you my brother. Love your sister, Midge

Hey Bro, Today is Thanksgiving, I wish you were here to say you weren't eating any yams, and definately no peas!! I miss the goofy turkey or pilgrim cards you used to send me with the funny pictures, and sayings you would add. I can't believe you've been gone for 3 months, that time flew by so fast. I miss ya Dude!!!! I played one of our favorite pranks on my friend the other day, and she thought it was hilarious!! I want you to know, on this day of "thanks giving", I'm so thankful that you were my brother, and my friend. I wish you eternal peace Bro!!! I think about you everyday. I love ya man!!! Love your sister Midge.

Dear Little Bro,
Today I set you free, and send you on the journey you've been seeking.I hope you like the place I picked. It's always been a very sacred place to me and when we were there together you thought it was beautiful. I miss you every day Dude, my life hasn't been the same since your departure from this earth. When you were here I knew that the person who could make me laugh in an instant was just a phone call away. I wish that you were here right now, cause I sure could use a laugh Dude!! I haven't had many laughs lately. I got your "message" Friday night, and thats when I knew I had to set you free very soon. I chose today, my birthday and it feels like the right day, and the right place to release the part of you that I was given. I love ya my Bro, I miss ya like a crazy fool!! Thank you for all of the years you were my hilarious brother, and a great friend!!!! Be free on the wind to soar with the hawks, to flow with the water, and to shine with the stars in the sky. Much love to you Vincenzo!! Love and Peace, your big sister Midge.

Hey Bro,
I watched our favorite movie last night, and I know you were there in spirit watching with me. I miss ya dude, I still can't believe your gone. It's hard to grasp the reality of it all. I wish you could walk into my house right now and eat all my gluten free brownies and pizza, we could watch old videos on you tube of goofy band from the 80's and laugh like we did when we first watched them on MTV. I got a really nice picture of your cat Spider man yesterday, I hope you two reconnected on the other side. I drive past a 1970 Monte Carlo every day, and every time I say out loud theres a car for Vinnie!! I pulled over and looked at it two days ago and cried my eyes out because I miss ya so much man!! I'm not ready to say goodbye to you, your my little brother, my friend, and for so many years ,my recipe taster. I keep thinking about the mystery food game we used to play when we were bored. and the first time I cooked us tacos. I have 42 years of memories little brother, and I'll treasure them all, even the annoying memories when ya were getting on my nerves, but thats what little brothers do!! Tomorrow I'm getting a new copy of Unleashed in the East, I hope your listening!!!!!!!!!! Love ya lots and miss ya like crazy!!!!!!! Love your big sister Midge.

Dear Uncle Vinny,
This is your niece Amanda I just want you to know how much you meant to all of us. We all miss you very much. I miss your jokes. The Brownie Joke was the best. You were a unique, funny, and special individual. Your joke and smile could light up a room. Now I know that you probably had the angels laughing and you are with some family members too. I wish you and I could have been closer. However you left to soon and we think about you every day. you will always be in my heart.
Your niece Amanda

My brother was a very kind hearted person, riotously funny, and a blast to spend time with.He loved animals, especially cats,and had been known to bring home a stray or two that he thought was cold or hungry. He loved heavy metal and classic rock, muscle cars, pizza, pistacios, fishing, motorcycles,candy,Clint Eastwood movies,concerts, parties,the ocean,playing jokes on friends and family, tattoos,teasing our Pop,his hair, He loved his kids, his wife and his pets, and every time we talked or saw each other he always said he loved me too. Vinnie was an awesome little brother and I will miss him and keep him in my heart always. I love ya Dude! your sister Midge.

Dear Little Brother,
It's just not real to me that you are gone.It was so sudden, so tragic, and just so unbelievable when I found out you had passed. For days I kept saying he's not gone, I don't believe it, it's not true. I can't imagine the world with out you in it some where, some way making people laugh!! I've never known anyone who is funnier than you, nobody could crack me up into hysterical laughter the way you could dude!! I'm going to miss your unique humor, your laugh, and your crazy practical jokes that you were a master of. Every time I listen to Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest,Iron Maiden, and Motorhead ,I'm gonna think of you and all the great times we had listening to years and years of all that music together. I remember you used to come over to my house every Saturday night and watch the head bangers ball with me and the boys.I'll always treasure the great vacations we took down in Wildwood, and I still talk about the time we caught a shark.I have a million memories of you Vincenzo, and I feel blessed to have had you as my little bro!!!!!!! There is so much I still have to say to you,I'm not ready for our time as siblings to be over. You weren't just my brother, you were one of my best friends!!!!!!!!!! I hope when you got to heaven you found Pops,Nipper, Daisy, Batman, Bear,Miss Kitty, Zen, Weezie, and of course Moon.You and Pops are gonna make them angels earn their keep up in the pearly gates.I love a lot Vin, I'll miss you forever, and I'll laugh when I remember one of the billion funny things you've said or done during your too short time on earth.I hope your at peace my brother, and I hope the music in heaven is rocking the wings off the angels, and blowing them halos off!! And If heaven is all its supposed to be I hope you and Pop and Moon are riding through the clouds in a 68 Chevy!!!!!!!! I love you Vinnie, Love and peace Your big sister, Midge.
