Bella turned 3 nick and when she was gonna blow out her candles on her cake she said come on nick lets blow out the candles and i swear the one candle went out all by itself and i said that was nick right by our sides as usual and we were so happy you were with us to celebrate bellas bday. we love you and miss you so immensely nick. all our love for you always dee aunt kat & bella ****:)

To this day I will never forget that time we were all hanging out in Antonio's old room bored out of our minds. You and Antonio, the two geniuses you were, came up with the bright idea of playing that game where you throw golf balls at each other's "family jewels" the final round would be a baseball. I would yell at you both cuz you were crazy to do that! Even thought u guys were in pain you would laugh and laugh and laugh. I miss that; the craziness. Thanks for the laughs bro!

nick today bella saw a picture of you with grandma and said look theres nick with grandma berginie (thats what she calls grandma cause she cant say virginia lol) and i said yea thats a nice picture and bella said thats the lady with nick in heaven. And bella started to get so happy when she saw the picture and it made me and aunt kat and your mom (when she reads this) soooooo happy that grandmas loving and nurturing you still even in heaven. Nick every day bella always says how your laughing at her cause everytime you to were together you would always laugh with her and im so happy that she has those memories of you even though shes so young she will always remember laughing with her godfather nick.Thank you for coming to bella and always reassuring us that your still with us cause we miss you so much nick.We will always love you and miss you Nick. 

Remember when we'd go on rides together and watch the Lord of the Rings a thousand times, Remember when we'd go to the park or joke around all the time, Remember playing in the yard or race swimming and begging me to watch the Underworld Movies, which I've come to love.  Although i can't seem to find anyone who will go see the "Hobbit" w/ me, but i know you'll be sitting right with me enjoying the greatness of Tolkien.  There are so many wonderful memories Nick, they can go on forever, I can write for an eternity about your life.  I was talking w/ Dee the other day about when you first watched the movie "Signs" and the part when you first see the Alien walking past a door and Joaquin Phoenix was flipping out in that part of the movie and you constantly re-played that part of the Alien walking past the door for everyone, we all died laughing cuz it was so funny and you did it exact, thank you for that memory and the millions that you gave us in the short life you were with us. I will never question your continuing love and presence, you are as much a part of my life as the air i breath and i will not fear your loss for you are a part of me always.  Never will i allow your addiction define the Great person you were and your story will be told for generations to come in hopes of saving many lives.  When God asked you to be a part of a bigger plan, I know you bravely stepped up and did what he had asked in a heartbeat, that is who you were in life, that is who you are in death, that is why your spirit is so strong and that is why your passing has touched thousands.  Loving you always...Mom

I can still hear you quoting Step Brothers - "I don't want my picture taken right now" "I think I'm gonna throw up"- probably because I made you say it over and over again and it never got old. Same as when you were happy during a Rangers game and you would do that high pitched "Wooooooo!" that had me in tears. You always had a way of doing that, having me in tears from laughter. That's why it was so easy to just BUM OUT on your couch with you day after day, while your mom would tell us we should go for a walk; you were my partner in laziness and I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my days with anyone else. As long as I was with you I was happy, regardless of the circumstances. Like when we spent the entire day at St. Claire’s- we made such a boring and disappointing day into one of my favorite memories with you (granted we had some help from that Schizophrenic lady who rolled over to us in her wheel chair with her stuffed bunny/baby claiming she knew me- I was so terrified and you were cracking up at me of course)..and you did your lovely drawing of Goku too which I of course saved. You were my best friend, my other half, and you still are and always will be Nick. I love you and I miss you every second of every day, but the memories we made will keep a smile on my face and the warmth of your beautiful soul in my heart.
