Good morning, Dad and Frank,

Thought I saw you today.
You were standing in the sun.
And you turned away.
And I knew it couldn't be but my heart believed
Oh, it seems like there is something every day
How could you be so far away
When you're still here?
When I need you, you're not hard to find
You're still here
I can see you in my baby's eyes, and I laugh and cry
You're still here
I had a dream last night, that you came to me on silver wings and light
I flew away with you in painless sky
And I woke up wondering what was real
Is it what you see and touch or what you feel?
Because you're still here
Oh, you're everywhere we've ever been.
Oh, you're still here.
I heard you in a stranger's laugh.
And I hung around to hear your laugh again.
Just once again
Oh, thought I saw you today.
You were standing in the sun and then you turned away.
Oh, away.

Good morning, Dad,

Happy Heavenly Birthday. If I had to wish you a day, it would be a day just like today. Beautiful blue skies and sunshine. I miss you always. Today will be filled with beautiful birthday memories. Big piece of strawberry shortcake. I hope you all have a big celebration. Save a piece for me. 

And to you Frank, I miss you more than anything. Our hearts are forever broken. You were taken to soon and I cannot understand it or come to accept it. I see you everywhere. You are in the morning sun, the afternoon breeze and the nighttime glowing moon. We are all lost without you. 

Enjoy the day with Dad. I'm glad you have each other. 

Love and miss you both. See you both soon. 
We'll get together then. We're gonna have a good time then.

All my love, Dee

Good morning, Dad and Frank,

It's the day before Christmas Eve. I watch everyone running around, doing last minute shopping, getting ready for the holidays. I watch a world which is spinning too fast for me. A world, I once was a part of. I think back to days when you were both here and I long to have that again, even for just 5 minutes.

I miss you both so much. I know one day I will see you both again.

Love Always Dee

Dear Dad and Frank,

Wishing you both a Happy Father's Day in Heaven

To you Dad, even though it's been 10 years, there is not a day that goes by that I do not miss you. You are and always be the strength of our family, and it is because of you, that I am the person I am today. 

To you Frank, you are beyond what a father, son, husband, and my big brother was. Our hearts are forever broken. When I lost dad, I felt alone, but I knew you were there. Losing you has left me in a state of disbelief, constantly watching a world that turns without me. Now I understand, I guess you were right, I am left behind.

I love and miss you both always. I am glad you have each other.
Keep watching over us. I will see you both soon. Save me a front row seat.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Dad

I wish the sun shines bright for you today. I wish the breeze is warm on your face. I wish you are both happy, with no worries and no pain. I wish you and Frank a happy day together. Enjoy your cake, Strawberry Shortcake for everyone. Save me a piece.

I miss you both.  See you both soon. Keep watching over us. We need all the help we can get.

All my love always, Dee

Dear Dad,
Today is the day that changed our lives. Or should I say the first day that changed our lives because we had no idea that eight years later our hearts would be shattered again when Frank left us. It's the same kind of day as 2013, cold but the sky being the most beautiful shade of blue. As days go by, and then years, you realize that grief doesn't end. We cannot turn it off. We cannot pretend it's not there. The pain is a constant reminder of that. Today I remember you and I want you to know that if I could choose any dad in the world, I would still choose you.
And to you Frank, thanks' for protecting me that day. You put aside your own needs to shield me from one of the worst situations in life.
Always protecting, always thinking of others, you were the best that ever was on this earth.
To my two heroes', I miss you both every minute of every day. I have lost two pieces of my heart. 
Keep watching us and guiding us in the right direction. We need all the help you can send.

Love you both, See you soon, Dee

Dear Frank,

Today is for you. Happy Birthday to the most amazing son, husband, father, grandfather and big brother. Our hearts are broken. The pain is unbearable. I am without words today; my tears keep getting in the way.

If I could just have 5 more minutes..................

Please God deliver this message to my brother. Please hug him and tell him I love him and that I miss him every day. Tell him life is incomplete without him. 

Morning Dad and Frank,
It is the day before Christmas Eve. And the lights glow in the street, but it is as though we don't even see them. I miss you both so much. I am physically and mentally drained. What I would give to have a Christmas like the one above.
And to you Frank, you never leave my mind. I see you everywhere. I hear your laugh all the time. Everybody says the firsts are the hardest, but this year it is hitting us harder. Maybe cause we realize you are not coming back. I don't know why God wanted you so young. You had so much left to do. I am sorry. If anyone deserved to live, it was you. I am lost without you. There is no greater love than a father and a brother. I wish you were both here with us.
Sleep Peacefully, until we're all together.
Always Dee

Morning Dad and Frank.

What is it like today in Heaven? I hope it's better than it is down here. In my mind, it is picture perfect. I miss you both. Grief drains you. It leaves you feeling lifeless. It makes you feel as though sometimes you can't breathe. It makes you scream in anger and beg God for one more day. One day I'm sure I will understand. 

And to you Frank, it's almost 10 months. I cannot understand or accept why you were taken. I see you everywhere. I was devastated when we lost Dad, but when I lost you, it broke me. I miss you and love you always. Please send down your strength to help us all get through these hard days.

See you both soon
Dee

Morning Dad and Frank,

Beautiful day here. Just like the one you described Frank, not hot, not humid, just perfect enough to sit outside and drink your morning coffee. It's been hard down here. The world seems to be moving a little bit faster than i Can keep up. I'm sorry Dad that I haven't visited you recently, I guess I know now that your not alone. But I still miss you as much as the day you left.
And to you Frank, I see you everywhere. You never leave my mind. The nights are sad, but sunrise makes me cry. I can't understand this. Why would God take a person who did so much good here. Wouldn't he want to keep the good ones here to do his work and keep the world safe and happy.

My heart hurts, it is broken

Love and Miss You Both
See You Soon

Happy Birthday Dad. I'm sure Frank bought the biggest strawberry shortcake they have in heaven. I miss you today,as much,or even more than the day you left. These past years have been hard without you. They're even harder now since Frank is gone. I hope you both enjoy your day together. I hope the sun is shining bright and you both feel the warmth of love from all of us missing you. And to you Frank, I miss you. My heart is broken. When I get to heaven,after I find you both, I hope God explains to me why he took you this soon because I can't understand. So lonely without you both.
Love and miss you both
See you soon Dee

September 4th, 2 Long Months

Is it warm and sunny today? I'm sure it is, all the time.
It's cold and cloudy here.
I Miss you both. I am empty. But I'm glad you are both together.
Nice day for the track................save me a seat
See you soon, Dee

Hi Dad,
Sorry it's been awhile. We are all trying to come to terms with what happened. Life flipped in a minute for everyone. I hope you and Frank are enjoying your time together. It brings me peace to know that he is with you.

I will visit soon, promise. Take care of each other.
Love you both always, Dee

Why Dad, Why. I know you tried to tell me, I just couldn't accept it. I'm not mad at you, I could never be. And I am sorry for doubting you and thinking you weren't there, because you proved that when you took Frank to be with you. And I thank you for making the decision we couldn't make.

I wish I was there with you both. Oh what a celebration we will have. I promise both of you that I will be strong and take care of mom. Now I know I am built in both of your image. My two heros, my Forever Dad and my Forever Brother.

Hi Dad,

Thinking of you today. Please help we're counting on you. It's in your hands, please help us.

I'll be there soon, Dee

Hi Dad,
Just wanted to say hi and let you know that you never leave my mind. How we wish you were here to keep everything together. Please help, we need alot of help, we are counting on you.

Loved you yesterday, Today, and Forever
Dee

Hi Dad,

Sorry it's been awhile, things have been very hectic. Please help, we need alot of help, and only you can do this.

I miss you always
Dee

Happy Father's Day. 
Always loved this day. We would come to your house early, with the pastries of course, eat dinner and then me and mom would go to the fair while you and John would watch the races. It was a such a beautiful summer memory, one of my best. 
I wish you a happy day, one filled with sunshine, and surrounded by loved ones in heaven. I miss you always and look forward to when we will celebrate once again together.

I know it is your special day, but please help. I know you are listening and I know you will come through. We ae all counting on you.

With All My Love, Dee

Hi Daddy, Happy Fathers Day in Heaven to the best father/grandfather/husband that ever existed!!!!

Wish you were here, that is all, life sucks without you. Please keep protecting us and please keep guiding me on the bike trail. I love you, always did, always will, see you soon, Your forever Ca ❤️❤️ Have a great day on the warm sunny bench

I Miss You Dad, Time didn't help anything. The only comfort I have is knowing that you are watching us, protecting us. i can't believe it's been eight years, such a long time since we've seen you, a long painful eight years.

Please try to rest. Don't be sad we miss you. We can't help but miss you, it only means that you left a lasting impression in our hearts.

Hi Dad,

Thinking of you today. I woke up an had you in my mind. I just wanted to say Good Morning. Keep praying and watching.

Hi Dad,

So I didn't see you last night, but I heard you. I guess you knew I was in good hands. Please pray, we need alot of prayers to end the year. I know your listening and I know you will help. Concentrate on one, the rest will be okay.

I Miss You always, Dee

Hi Dad,

Big snowstorm today, was this a joke from you. 
Wish you were here. The last time I remember it snowing on my Birthday was 2012. I called you at lunch, it was a nasty day, and you said "Hi Babe, How is your day going" then you said "Eat the soup for dinner tonight, it's a good day for the soup". 
How I wish I could talk to you , I wish you were here today to tell me I'm getting old. Before I forget, I did ask you for a wish, please help with that, this is totally in your hands.

I Miss You, Today and Always
See You Soon

Hi Dad,

Just wanted to say I miss you, I would give anything if you were here

Life never got better, It just got different, and so sad

Time Never Heals

With All My Love, Dee

Sorry, I forgot something, please keep watching. I'm not asking for myself, I'll be okay, watch the one who needs it the most.

Thanks Dad
I Love You

Hi Dad,

How I wish you were here. Trying to stay strong, sometimes it's so hard, so many problems all the time. When I feel overwhelmed, I find myself looking at our Yonkers pictures. Those days were so fun, we were all so happy. If I close my eyes, I can take myself back and it feels so good.

I Miss you, why God needed you I could never figure out. Didn't he know that we needed you more.

See You Soon, Beautiful Day, Pick A Winner
Dee

Hey Dad,

It must be beautiful today in heaven, I'm sure everyone is getting ready to celebrate Grandma's birthday. I hope you all have the best day. Have a big piece of Strawberry Shortcake for us. One day we will all celebrate together. I can't wait to taste your sauce again, what I would give for one more dinner together.....I know, someday.

See You Soon, Dee

Hey Dad,

Another hot one today. I was remembering when I was little and we would bet every summer, and I would say that we would have 30 days of 90 or hotter. I would have definitely beat you this summer. So things are still the same, tracks open with no people, aqueduct still closed, no stores open, just waiting for this to end and get our lives back. 

Thanks for listening and helping, knew you would. 


See You Soon, Dee

Today I saw your shadow as I was riding my bicycle. I love when I see your shadow, I know it’s you because I see the outline of your kangol cap. Thank you, I feel like I’m stuck in a 1950’s twilight zone episode over here. I love and miss you and wish I were smart enough to go back in time. See you tomorrow. Love you forever!!!!!!❤️

Happy Fathers Day Dad! I can’t believe 8 years ago life was so different; it sucks not having you here, especially during this strange time. If I could give up some of my time, so you could have more time, here, with all of us, I would in a heart beat. Life will never be the same again.....nor do I want it to be.....if you’re not here I hope you’re having a great Fathers Day, and, I know, that you know, just how loved, and what you meant to all of us, especially Mommy; please watch over her closely! Love you forever, See you one day, and thank you for always being with me on my bicycle (I see your shadow always!!!) Love always, your Ca

Happy Father's Day Dad

I wish you were here. I wish we can sit and have dinner again. We always had a good time celebrating this day with you, and everyday.

A piece of my heart lives in Heaven.

To The World You Are A Dad
To Me You Are The World

Enjoy your day, Have a big piece of Strawberry Shortcake for us
Miss You Always until I see you again
Dee

Hi Dad,

Such Chaos. I'm sure it's beautiful where you are, no pain, no worries.
Please, need your help. I am counting on you. I know it's a lot of pressure, but only you can fix this. Concentrate on one, the rest will be okay.

Love and Miss You, Dee
See you this weekend

Hi Dad,

Please listen, your the only one who can help. I so wish you were here. I wish I could hear you say that it will be okay. Sometimes everything seems so overwhelming. Keep watching, we desperately need you.

With All My Love, Dee

Forgot to mention, Belmont opens today, but no people allowed
Pick A Winner

Hey Dad,

Prayers today, please. I know your watching so please help, one needs it more than the rest. Don't worry the rest of us we will be just fine.

I was happy to see you yesterday, will be back soon, I promise
Miss you always, Dee

Hi Dad,

I enjoyed seeing you on Mother's Day, it was so long since we've come to see you. As soon as they open, I will be there more, I promise. Racing is starting June 1st in NY, but you can't go to the racetrack, can't figure this one out. And no Yankees yet. What a crazy time. I could just hear you, calm as ever, don't worry, wear your mask, it will be alright, just a pandemic, it will end. Tough as nails.

Miss You, See You Soon, Dee

Hey Dad,

Sorry I haven't visited, things have been really crazy. As soon as they open the cemetery, I will be there, I promise. You are always in my thoughts, my heart, my life.

Continue to walk with us and protect us, I know you are still here.
Miss You Always, Dee

Good Morning Dad; Happy Easter in Heaven, although nothing is happy anymore with you not here. Feeling quite sad, wish you were here. Love you forever❤️❤️

Gm Daddy; Please watch over your family during this terrible time; we are all very sad. I am so lost in Florida! Me and Dee spoke last night, Mommy is very happy about this; everything’s gonna be ok, it has to be! Please protect mommy cause she misses you so very much. Ok, love you forever, Talk to you later....Always your Ca❤️

Happy Birthday Dad

Today I celebrate you and all you did for me throughout my life. You are one of the reasons I am the person I am today. From you I got my strength and courage. From you, I learned how to accept the bad and deal with it silently, to realize that you cannot go back even though you wish you can. From you, I learned to not show fear or weakness, to not be broken. Without you, I don't think I could have survived what life threw my way.

I Miss and Love You Always, Keep walking by my side, and enjoy your strawberry shortcake today, save a piece for me.

Hi Dad,

Just wanted to say hello. I miss you. I was never scared when you were here no matter what happened. I still depend on you for strength.

Love Always
Dee

Hey Dad,

Please keep watching us all and keeping us safe. I wish you were here to calm my fears. Walk with me.

Miss You Always
Dee

Hey Dad,

Having a bad week, nothing is going right.

Keep guiding me in the right direction, I still depend on you to tell me what's right.

I Miss You Always
Dee

Dear Dad,

I feel numb today. I wish I could have known what would happen on this day, I would have never trusted anyone. Did they know what our life would be like without you? It was a regular day to them, but to us it changed everything. We were thrown into a new, painful life.
I am truly sorry
I wish I could go back

I will always keep you in my heart, for there you will live forever
Dee

Hey Dad,

Missing You today. This week is like reliving the worst days of your life, very painful.

Dee
