3 years tonight and never gets any easier. Tonight we party pop. I will be having some fine wine with you. No more making it until midnight but the year will still change whether i am awake or not. Later pop.

My Dad served with Anthony. I've been looking for him to reunite them. We are sorry to hear of his passing. My dad has very fond memories of their time in Vietnam together ❤️

Once again I felt your presence through Gia tonight.  As I was getting her ready for bed, she was looking for something to give to me and herself as a "prize".  As she started looking she said  "I'm on a mission".  I immediately said "hi pops" because that is something you would say and I've never heard Gia say that before.   We all see so much of you in her.   Love ya Pops.  Thanks for making your presence known and felt.  We love and miss you.

This was the perfect "I don't know and I don't care" moment. I laughed so good during this pop. Thank you for that. Love you.

Getting Gia into Abba by playing Dancing Queen for her has paid off pops. She is quite the entertainer such as you were. 

Hi pop. Today is Anthony's Birthday and we are going over there for a grilling and chilling session maybe on Saturday I believe. We did Maria's Birthday at her place and it was lots of fun. The boys love their pizza and ipads and Gia is such an entertainer. She loves to move around and dance like you. Hope you and Thomas and everyone else are having good times as well. Love you and miss you pop. These 1st of everything without you here are so tough but we stay strong for you.

We all came to visit you and Thomas today pop. You guys are in a great spot with a great stone. It was so peaceful and beautiful. I feel so much better that we got to visit you guys and look forward to the next one. Miss you and love you both. Gia had a fun day with Michael and Anthony.

Happy Father's Day pop. Hope you and Thomas have a great day today. It is rough but we take your lead and fight through the way you always do. No giving up. Also wanted to show you the tags I wear for you. Your army picture and your fingerprint that the fam gave me for my birthday. Miss you pop. Love you. Cheers my friend.

She did it Pop!  Yesterday was Gia's Step Up Ceremony from Pre-K3.
She did such an AMAZING job from beginning to end.  I wish you were with us, but your presence was definitely felt.  I know you were smiling down on us watching her sing and dance up a storm!  She loves music and dancing so much just like you always did.
Love and miss you always Pop
Xoxo. Love Gia and Maria


Just wanted to send you a pic of you and mom from a previous Mother's day. Miss you and love you pop.

Hi pop. Today was Michael's and Anthony's first communion. It was a great day. It is also Mother's Day and I know you have been with us all day celebrating. It is just a feeling that cannot be explained but you just know when someone is around. Love you pop.

Hi pop just wanted to post something for you today. It is May 1st and it is still cold outside. This world is a crazy one for sure. Want to show you a picture of Gia on the swing at the playground. She looks so hollywood with her sunglasses on. Love you pop. 

Hello pop, yesterday was mom's birthday and it was a great day. Would have been even greater having you there with us physically but luckily life does not end just because the physical part does. You were there in a spiritual form through all of us. Mom was happy and we all know that is what you always wanted... for mom to be happy. Gia, Anthony and Michael are so cute together and without you and mom none of them would have been possible. Cheers pop. Love you. Talk again soon.

Hi pop. Yesterday was Vince's birthday. You helped make that happen pop. Thank you for everything. Love and miss you. Talk soon. Keep the visits coming.

Thanks for the visit pops.  This was my first dream of you since you left us.  Not sure what house I was in but I hear Vince calling me from another room saying "you gotta see this".  I go to the room and to my shock, there you are!  Smiling and looking like you just got a fresh hair cut.  I hugged you so tight, it was so real.  We were so happy and screaming with joy that it turned out you were still alive afterall.  I said "mom is gonna bug out".    Uncle Guy was there too.  He was on some stairs but was too emotional to come over to you.
Then I heard the sound my intercom buzzer usually makes but in my dream it was a phone.  We were telling you "you have to get that" as if it were a shocked friend or relative on the line waiting to hear how this could be real.
At that moment I woke up. Now I'm wondering if you went to pay anyone else a visit or if you had other work to do up there at the moment.  Even though the reality soon sunk in that it was just a dream and you are still gone, it did make me smile for a minute.  You looked so happy and I was happy to get the visit I have asked for. We miss you so much dad.  Please continue to watch over us and visit often.
Love always, your little girl.  XOXO

Hi pop. Today is cold but at least no rain or snow so that is good. Hope you and Thomas are together crashing some parties on the other side. Say hello to everyone for me. As you know Gia loves jelly buns from Cuccio's and she gobbled one up before. She is so funny. Thank you for bringing her to us pop. Love you and miss you. 

Happy 50th wedding anniversary to you and mom today. Know you are aware of today and are probably partying with those who are once again with you. Wish you were here with us pop, to celebrate but one day we will make up for this moment. Always thinking of you and my big bro. Take care of him pop. Talk again soon. Love you.

Hi pop Tommaso here. Just wanted to let you know that things are going as ok as possible right now. Of course the Cowboys were one and done on Sunday but I didn't even let them get to me the way I normally would have. Just was not that important. Gia is amazing and keeps saying papa went home from time to time. She misses you. Your connection to us is strong and you have been sending signs through your energy. Keep the signs coming pop. Say hello to the original Tommaso for me. Until we all meet again. Miss you and love you pop.

Hi pop, just watching some football today and wishing you were here reading your books while every now and then glancing up at the action. Miss you and love you. Hope you are enjoying a good book right now.

Thank you dad for giving me life. Thank you for giving me the best parts of you and for making me the man I am today. Thank you for giving me the strength it takes to make it through the tough times. Thank you for the fun times we had. We had so many. You are my hero and the definition of what a soldier is. You never gave up dad. Mission accomplished soldier. Love you and miss you. Tommaso

The four of us shared many fun times, with lots of laughter. Tony, you bought me my first set of “shoe-skates”, and paid for my first set of driving lessons-a great big brother! As I always said to you of late-stay out of trouble, especially now that you’re with Joe. RIP. 

I have so many fond memories of my Uncle.  From being a small child I can always remember him wearing his army shorts, should I say SHORT shorts!!  The last time I remember him wearing them was at Maria's christening party.  He went upstairs to change and came down wearing them and we laughed.   May he rest in peace and do all the things he loves doing up in heaven.  I will miss you my dear Uncle Tony.  But all the memories I have of you are deep in my heart.   Laura
