14 years... it´s been 14 long years since we´ve seen your face, since we´ve seen your smile, since we´ve seen you in your element of working hard and getting things done. It´s not fair that someone so young and so energetic passed away so quickly!! I think about you every day and I know you´re looking down on me and you´re proud of who I am and what I´ve done with my life. I know you´re saying what the heck she´s been coming up here on and off a lot lately to visit me...and that is so true. My first thought of the day is I´m gonna go see Mike. I miss you and I love you and please give my mom and dad a kiss for me and tell them that I love them too and I hope all of you find some comfort in being together. I love you!!

Kelly,
My thoughts are still with you on this day. The love he had for you will be with you forever. He is with you every single day and I know he has that precious place in your heart as well. He will never be forgotten with his funny ways and yelling that sometimes he didn´t even know what he was yelling for lol. ((((hugs))) on this tragic day 08/02.
Love,
Chrissy

I cannot believe we are going on 12 years since you left us-it seems like only yesterday you were working hard and you and I were taking care of our empire! I know life moves on as it should but I miss you and love you! I went to visit you a couple of days ago and it still stings a bit knowing that I will never hold you again. RIP my love!

Hey Mikey Dee....Instead of signing the guest book on the anniversary of your passing...I decided I didn't want to celebrate on that day , for that is one of the saddest days I have ever experienced!!! I miss you more than words can say and I hope and pray that you know that! Things are coming around in my life but then I know you already know that and you are happy for me! I love you and we will be together again someday !!!

Hey Mikey Dee,
I can't believe it's been three years and three months since I sat with you and had tea...since I held your hand...since we said I love you face to face, oh how I miss those times. I wanted to let you know that although my heart still hurts I've found room in it to be happy again...I know you would want that and I am happy that I am able to share that with you! We had a one of a kind love...a love like no other but you always said that if you passed first you wanted me to be happy. I love you Mike and I will never ever forget what we had together ever!! RIP and I will be up to see you soon.

Mike,
I don't know why the message I left you on Aug 2...the anniversary of your passing never posted on here...:((! I just wanted to tell you that your mom and me and gracie and the boys and your brother and mother and Patricia went to a mass for you at All Saints. I can't believe that it's been three years since you passed away but you will forever be in my heart. I love you and I hope you and my dad are watching down on me...until we meet again. Love you!!

Hey Mikey Dee,
I didn't write in your guestbook on Thanksgiving because I feel like everyone does that on the holiday and I wanted to take an average day and let you know how much I miss you and think about you and love you. Christmas is almost here...I remember you used to fall asleep while I was starting to decorate the tree and then when you'd wake up it would be all decorated and the look on your face was priceless...like a child seeing the Christmas tree for the first time...oh how I miss that. Sleep well my love...until we meet again!!

Hey baby,
Another summer has passed and I thought by now it would be getting alittle easier without you here but I was wrong...it's as hard as it was the moment that you passed and I foresee it being that way for the rest of my life!! I hope that you are looking down on me and keeping me safe!! I love you and miss you with all of my heart!!

Hey baby,
I miss you and love you and I wish that you didn't have to leave me. I still am working the business...surprising huh, you always thought that if somethng happened to you that I would get rid of it as soon and I could but how could I do that when I know how very hard you worked to make the business a success!! I was up the other day to see you on the anniversary of your passing and Angie had the mass for you on Sunday...everyone was there, Dee and Tom...Manders and Mrs....Jo-ann and Jen...Gracie and of course Me and Steve. It was a wonderful mass but unfortunately it wasn't a wonderful occasion! I miss you baby...till I see you again.
Love you

Hey Mikey Dee...it's been a long almost two years and it seems like only yesterday you were saying "I love you and thank you for standing by me"...I cry everytime I replay that in my mind. Angie has talked to the priest at her church and he is going to let me have a mass for you there on the anniversary of your passing...the whole family will be there...Dee and Angie and Jen and Mrs. R and Mr. R and I am going to invite Jamie and her family. We all miss you and love you. I wanted to let you know that your Uncle Frank and your sister Grace are true to me and they always let me know by their actions that they are my family too. I love you honey and I will be up soon.

My love...how the time passes by so quickly. I can't believe that it will be almost 2 years since you left this world for a much calmer, quieter place. I hope that while you are relaxing up in heaven that you are able to look down on me and show me that the direction that I am going in is the right one. I love you Mike and miss you with all of my heart. Until we meet again.
Forever love....Kelly

Hey my love,
I MISS you so much...life is so hard at times...by myself, without you!! I visit you often but it doesn't take away the pain I feel without you here. It's that time of year again...the sunshine, the warmth...the car shows....haha!! I will forever hold you close to my heart and will be indebted to you for all the love that you showed me over the many years that we were together.

Hey My Love...in just a few more hours it will be your birthday...I sit here and wonder how this special day of yours would have played out had you been here to celebrate it with me. We would have gone out to dinner...had a couple of drinks...and a birthday cake...which you always said that you really didnt want because you were a big boy now and didn't need a birthday cake but the smile on your face while you were blowing out the candles was so adorable. I miss you Mike on your second birthday in heaven. I will be up tomorrow to see you...until then, Happy Birthday and I love you!!

Hey lover...today is one day closer to your birthday. If I had ONE wish it would be for you to be able to come back even if for one day!! I love you and I was up to see you two days ago and I will be up again...to start putting the fresh flowers in the vase since they took all of the artificial flowers out for the season!! I love and miss you.
Love ya always,

Hi honey...
Easter is upon us...the second one without you.....it makes me sooooo sad! I think of all the holidays that have passed so far and I wonder how I've made it through without you.

Hey my love,
I miss you so much...I was up at the grave yesterday and I changed the Valentine flowers to colorful spring flowers...in yellow that I knew you'd like. Anyway, while I stood over the grave I still can't believe that you are in there....in the ground...so close yet so far away...I want to just grab your hand...or see your smile...just ONE more time and then reality hits and I realize that isn't going to happen...only in my dreams can I feel your hand...and see your smile...at least I still have that!!! I love you baby and I will be up to see you again very soon...until then rest in peace and smile down on me and watch over me!! I love you!

Hey honey,
I've been thinking about you today...as I do everyday and I wonder if you knew that I added a Valentine's Day heart at your grave? It looks so pretty there...the heart is the sign for lovers and that is one of the things that we were to one another!! Mike...I miss you so much...so much has gone on since you've been gone. I just wanted to tell you that I love you with all my heart!!
Love you,

Hey lover,
I've missed you today...seeing you...talking to you...feeling you next to me...but then I've missed you everyday that you've been gone and it breaks my heart to realize that you will never be coming home again!! I pray that when I pass the first person I see will be you...until that day I will see you through the many memories that we've created. I love you more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow. Rest in peace my love. Love you forever and ever, Kelly

I pondered whether or not to write you a New Year message and I decided that there was no Happy New Year to be had! So I will not be saying happy new year to you here or anywhere in my thoughts. I love you and miss you and there will NEVER be a Happy New Year again!!

Merry Christmas my love. Today was a sad day without you here...I visited you today...standing there praying that you'd come back....if only for a second.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU

It`s another Christmas
Without you
another year passed
... But you`re still in my heart,
I hoped to open a gift
With you in it
But I know it`s not possible,
Somehow I wanna be with you again
Every day that goes by
I wish you were here
And I wonder how you are,
My Christmas will not be the
same without you...
You aren't here,
I miss opening presents
With you,
Those family dinners
We used to share
It isn`t the same anymore
Every holiday that comes
I wish you were here...
I miss you and love you!

Well I went to the John Edward show and you didn't come through him to me but I felt you there. So, I've come to the conclusion that I don't need to go to a John Edward show to know that you are with me and beside me all day everyday. I miss you more than words can say and I love you even more. Stay warm...until we are together again. I love you.

Hi my love,
I miss you and love you. I still can't believe that another holiday has gone by and you're not here...it makes me so so sad!! I come to the cemetary and visit you even though I know that you're not really there...I guess it's for me more than for you that I visit!! I am going to John Edward's show the psychic this Friday because I KNOW that through him you will contact ME and I hope that you will let me know that you are at peace and that you are with me through everything...right by my side!! I love you honey...until we meet again...RIP and remember that I love you!!

Today is gloomy and wet and chilly....I HATE these kind of days because without you and without the sunshine I cannot smile!!! I was up to visit the other day and brought you roses...fall color roses...they look so beautiful but I wish that I was putting them on someone else' grave...NOT yours!! I miss you today and everyday and although they say that it get's better with time...it doesn't...you only learn how to live with the pain and sadness. I love you lover...I will be back up soon.

Hi my love,
I was up to visit you this morning and I brought beautiful pink flowers and placed them in the vase for you in honor of breast cancer awareness for our niece Stephanie. I still can't believe that you are gone...it's been 14 months and 10 days since I saw you last and I don't think that I can ever accept the fact that you aren't coming back!! I pray that you are resting in peace and waiting for the day that we are together again. I love you baby...forever and always. Love ya, Kelly

Hi my love,
Another day another tragedy...your nephew Mike's brother inlaw was killed in a car accident the other night...he was young and full of life and now he's gone...does it ever end? I know what his wife will be feeling...what she will be wishing...and what she'll never get to do again...how do I know, because I've had those same thoughts...those same fears...those same wishes. It never gets easier...but you learn to live with it. I wonder how long it will be before I am able to "live with it"! I miss you just as much today as I did last year but not as much as I will miss you tomorrow. I love you baby...rest in peace! Love always, Kelly

Hi lover,
I miss you...and love you and hope that you are resting in peace with the angels and that you and your dad are having a great time with one another catching up on all that you have missed. I was up and put a cute little pumpkin on your grave for Halloween...and fresh fall flowers. I hope you enjoy them. I wish that you were here to celebrate Halloween with the kids. It's so hard for me this time of year...with the holidays coming up again and you're not here to spend them with me...it makes me so sad. I loved how you looked when you'd wake up late at night...after I decorated the tree and you'd look up at it and the light in your smile would light up a room...I miss that but not as much as I miss you. I love you baby and I just wanted to say goodnight...see you in my dreams.
Love always,
Kelly

Good morning babe,
Today ia a dismal, rainy day but when I think of you I have sunshine...thank you for that. Today I am going to lunch with Jamie...and little "Miss Julia"...love her...I am sure we will talk about UM and maybe when she is older she will visit you and realize that her UM is not here physically but here in spirit...I TRULY BELIEVE that!! I will stop and see you today and talk to you for a bit then it's back to work as usual. I love you...RIP!
Love ya,

Good afternoon lover,
I visited you again this morning...I didn't bring fresh flowers because the ones I brought the other day were still alive and so pretty...I will bring fresh ones this week sometime. I went to see Ron today...(the accountant) and he was still in shock about you passing...he says he wished he had known so he could have came and paid his respects...his best friend died recently too, of a brain tumor/cancer and he died one year to the day that you passed...it's so sad. I love you honey and I will see you soon.
Love me

Hi my love...I missed you today...as I do everyday. It's very depressing for me to accept the fact that you aren't coming back...that you aren't there for me to lean on when things get tough...I miss that and I miss you!! I just wish that we all could have just ONE wish to use on whatever we wanted whenever we wanted to use it. I know that you know what my wish would be. I love you baby...sleep well...together forever!

Hi lover,
I forgot to tell you that the other day, Gracie and Tommaso and Antonio and myself went to the cemetary to visit you...they got to see the new bench and they loved it. The boys helped me pick up all of the flower petals that were on the grave by you and they also gave you a big kiss goodbye when we left. They miss their Uncle Mike so much...and I miss you too. I have so much work to do...in the house...the camp...the business'...it's so crazy that I am doing it all by myself and you are not here to help me. I know deep down inside that you are by my side every minute of every day. I love you honey...rest in peace.
Love you,
Kelly

Hey lover,
Today is Dee's birthday...yup she is another year older...I so wish you were here to have a piece of cake with us to celebrate her special day. I miss you Mike, more than anyone will ever know...more than anyone has ever missed another human being. I visit you all the time...I always have fresh flowers waiting for you and I sit on the new bench and talk to you and I sometimes think I hear you talking back. I love you...and I will miss you for the rest of my life.
Love Always,
Kelly

Hi Mikey Dee...I miss you and love you. It's a beautiful day today and the sun is shining...the kind of day that you loved...you'd go and sit in your car and the next thing I knew...you'd be sleeping...with the sun hitting directly on your face...I would try and scare you and walk over to the car very quietly and then just as I was about to say "boo"...you'd open your eyes and say it to me first...and scare me...LOL. You had such a great sense of humor...I miss that among many other qualities you have...I am so sad! Rest in peace my love...until we meet again!!
Love you,
Kelly

Well, the memorial to celebrate your life has now passed...Mike, it was awesome...all of the people that came to spend the day with us was unbelievable. I was overwhelmed with happiness at the amount of people who love you...I LOVE YOU the most out of everyone. I was happy that I could throw a party to remember you but sad that the party is now over...I felt you there with all of us and it brings me back to the sadness that I feel everyday living without you. I hope you are resting in peace...I LOVE YOU.

My love,
Today is the day, the one year anniversary 8-2-10. Those numbers will be instilled in my mind and my heart forever. I cry for you today, as I do everyday!! I miss you Mike so very much!! Your new bench came into day at Evergreen...I put it right near you so that I can sit on it everytime I visit you. Our names are engraved on it just like you wanted...it's beautiful. Your mom had a mass for you today and then I went to her house for lunch. I thought of you and how you would have loved sitting beside me and eating with the rest of us...but then again maybe you were there...I can only hope!! I love you baby, together forever, that's our motto! Sleep well my love until we are together again in eternity.
Your loving wife,

Mikey D...How you B? I think of you often my old pal. As Kelly notes the 8-2-10 is a date that will stay with me forever as well. Kelly is talking about a party? I hope she remembers to invite me? You, D and I had so many small celebrations/parties together, I miss those creative discussions and socials. Rest in peace my friend. Rocco

Hi lover,
I miss you...I love you and I haven't figured out how to live without you and I don't think that I ever will. The "big day" for your memorial is coming up and I pray that you are happy about it. I want everyone who you loved and who loved you to celebrate their memories of you!! I know you know that it's something that you wanted to have...a party...when you got out of the hospital so I am fulfilling those wishes for you...for US!! I love you Mike...and I will continue to see you in my dreams.
Your loving wife,
Kelly

Hi my love...The fourth of July has passed...our last holiday that we spent together...the last fireworks we had between us...God, if I had known that would be the last I wouldn't have gotten mad that you were lighting off all of those fireworks at the taxi company and I was afraid that the police were going to come and see you lighting them and we would get into trouble...now it seems so foolish...you were enjoying yourself and loving the popping sounds of the fire crackers and all of the sparks of the fireworks. Every year we watched the fireworks right from the taxi company...I couldn't watch them there this year...it would have broken my heart. I miss you so much!! I hope that you are looking down and watching over me and see what's going on. I love you baby...be up to see you tomorrow. PS...Tomorrow is the city inspection...I wish you were here to help me. Rest in peace lover.
