My Handsome Prince-

You would be so proud- just heard word from my professor and the board of doctors that my proposal for my dissertation has been approved...

I broke down in tears when I got the word as this was suppose to be the last project that we had before my graduation...Never did I imagine that I would have to walk the remainder of this journey without you.You were always in my corner- the voice of reason, and objectivity, you were my cheerleader.

I love you-

And I miss you.................so, so very much.

Always,
Laura

I lay here in our bed watching the suns early morning light breakaway and I think about the countless mornings that you would come put my coffee on the nightstand and lay next to me with my head on your chest-with the rise and fall of your chest I felt safe in your embrace-loved.

Loving you Tony was the best- you my dear were my morning sun.I adored you

28 days today since you we're called home and I can honestly say that not one moment has passed that we haven't thought of you.the tears go on without count.

You my love are missed.

I love you Tony, forever and a day I love you

Always
Laura

It has been said that to love and to be loved is to feel the warmth of the sun on both sides of ones face- as you loved me, I loved you....

To me you were nothing less than extraordinary, a gift to this world and a blessing to those with in it....I miss you so very much, my heart breaks daily, and the tears that have been shed cannot be counted...

God bless you

My Love,

In the stars that guide, in the wind that scatters the leaves that we intended to rake, in the bathroom where we had our conversations of this that and everything- you are there.

As I prepare for work today, I recall just two weeks ago the happiness of our morning together, you as usual were making fun of my desire to snuggle with you before the start of day, we laughed ...It was a good morning.

You are everywhere, and I miss you so very much....I cry,how do I cry....And I know that I know that you are in a better place, but my heart breaks daily.

Today I will remind myself to breath...

I love you- forget me not.

Always,
Laura

In heaven, every moment is joy. Every moment is the purest of the purest love. A celebration that can never compare to anything earthly. Because it is perfection itself.
I mourn you and will mourn my loss of you everyday for the remainder of my life here. Yet I know that you celebrate, without remorse, without regret and for that there is some peace for me. I wish you a Happy New Year in Heaven. Until I see you again.

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

My Love,

You are Forever Gold

Love You Always,
Laura

Tony, you were such a nice person. Always smiling every time I saw you. You were the best guy, always helping out my grandparents or my mom whenever they needed help! The people that used to live on 292 South William Street will forever be grateful! It's sad to hear the world has lost such a nice person like you. You even tried to go the bank with my grandfather so he wouldn't lose his house. Thank you for that. We would have loved it stay your neighbor but it was time to move on. We stopped seeing you as often but still thought about you. My grandfather went to see you at Price Chopper just a few days before you left earth and was heaven bound. Now the whole gang is gone from South William Street and who will Pete's Hot Dogs crew say hi to now? But know that you will missed dearly from your old neighbors, God Bless.                                                 Love, Hubert and Rosina Mozingo, Betty Jean Lazaro, Jennifer Chavez, and Cassandra Carmona

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies

My love, my treasure- the very sight of you each day brought butterflies to my belly, glitter in the air, and a twinkle in my eye.

It was always you my love who had the key to my heart- you were my home, my sanctuary.

Miss you-

Always,
Laura

It was just over a week ago that I saw you my dear friend. We were talking about how funny life turned out and how we ironically,ended up having the opportunity to see each other again. We shared some of the good times and laughs we had, the time I stayed at your apt. house when I needed a place to live short term .It was over 20 years ago. (They were some of the best times of my life)... And then, I wished you a great Christmas and went my way.Yes, just over a week ago.Today ,I was thinking about you when I went shopping. I looked for your smiling face.You were nowhere to be found.. You left us all too soon buddy. I know God had a special place for you on Christmas day...I look forward to seeing you in eternity one day Tony. I have so many more things to say to you. We never had the time to catch up. I never realized how much your friendship meant to me until now. I cry many tears each day in secret. Its hard to hide the pain.

Good Morning Love:

Today will be one of the hardest days we will face, and I pray for Gods strength to get us through.

I woke up several times last night, and I thought of you....

This last week, has been difficult- but out of all the sadness, something occurred to me, and although not surprising because to me- you were awesome, one of kind and heaven sent: your life although you may not have realized, had built a foundation under all of us.....You didn't know it, and perhaps we didn't think about it but you have left us with a solid legacy of who you were, what you were about and how you lived your life- not as an island to yourself but to all. My love- you left a mark on all of us.

What we have seen time and time again this week, is that you don't have to look to far or too long to see that you touched the hearts and lives of many.

You left us a legacy-

You loved unapologetically-

Tried and True right to the end-

A friend to all-

You my love were and are a child of mercy and grace who blessed so many us and although it didn't come up in one of our conversations specifically, I am confident that when you were wrapped in God's embrace he said "Well done my good and faithful child."

May we continue to remember you in our hearts and thoughts but as you once said to me, actions speak louder than words, may we also pay forward the gifts you have given us: laughter, generosity, selflessness ,compassion, empathy, sincerity, faith, grace, mercy and love to the world within our reach.

My friend, my love- miss you.

Always,
Laura

Prayers for the Marullo Family on this difficult day. Rest in peace Tony

David, Roberta & family ~ We are deeply sorry for your loss. Tony was a wonderful man and always had a smile on his face. He would always brighten up any room he was in. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Thinking of you. Tammy

Dave, Roberta and Family,

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. For all of us fortunate to know Tony, we will forever feel an emptiness. To know him was to love him. He was an awesome, standup man!! He left this world too soon and I can only hope to meet up with him on the other side. I Love you both very much!!!!

To Tony's family and the crew at Price Chopper,

Every Sunday morning I'd cross Tony's path while grocery shopping..We'd always talk about a lot of things, mostly cooking, but also working on our houses, yards, life in general..That he's no longer with us was shocking to learn..The tributes here by family, friends, and those close to Tony are no surprise..I always thought he was an above average human being..He always took the time to say hello and seemed genuinely happy to do so..He'll most certainly be missed and in my thoughts and prayers for some time to come..With heartfelt condolences and prayers..

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Tony but hearing how much my cousin Laura loves him I know he had to be one of a kind. My heart breaks for you all. You're in my thoughts and prayers. May you find peace within. God Bless....

My deepest sympathy is sent to your family from ours in S. Florida. It's been many years since I've seen Anthony, but from all the posts, he was a very special person. They say a person's legacy can be summed up in just a few words. 
"A kind person who was loved by many".
That was you, Anthony. You will be missed. Rest in peace.
Love to my New York family..... Cousin Floie

This is a picture of my best Friend. Anthony Marullo he was, From Newburgh,NY. Anthony Suddenly past away. He past on December 20, 2014. He was 48 years old. Anthony went by the name Tony, I like to call him Anthony. I knew Anthony since I was 12 years old. I met Anthony through my brother Brian Maddox, after Anthony and I met we were inseparable. We kinda just stayed together. I spent nights over his house he spent nights over mine. He was truly my best friend. Anthony was a big part of my life. The two of us help each other grow. But Anthony help me more, he looked out for me. He help me with school, his family was just as importing to me! Anthony brought me in to his family. Because of are friendship. It was like we had two family's. I was very blessed. I called his mother mom, he call my mother mom. His sisters are beautiful! Lora and Roberta Marullo. His brother John and his family, John was Anthony's hero. When we were younger Anthony and I worked out. Anthony wanted to get as big as his brother John. John, in the day look like the Incredible Hulk That's what Anthony always said. I seen him, believe me he did. We loved going over his sister Lora's house. Over on the bluff. She was a very special person to Anthony, he was inspired by Lora. He said, she was amazing, raising two handicap daughters they were the cutest little girls. Anthony was a very proud uncle he love his two nieces Stephanie and Jessica. "I love u too Stephanie," I didn't forget u girl. Anthony loved his sister Roberta. He always said she should of been a model. He was so right. She is beautiful. Sorry guys she is taken!!!! By the way, Anthony told me he couldn't ask for a better bothering law. David Kratochwil I was at their wedding. Anthony was so happy for his sister Roberta and new brother in law Dave. I was too. I remember the trips, Anthony and I would take to see his mother and Joe Peroni Joe was Anthony's step dad. A Really nice guy. They lived in New Jersey. We would go to Atlantic city with his mom and Joe. He love to go and see his mother. Anthony was very close to his family. these people are very good people and to lose Anthony I know they are all devastated, Of the lost. So please keep the Marullo's in your hearts and prayers, As I do. they are extremely great people. Anthony and I were in are twenties when we were roommates. We use to go to Gullies down at the river front, then the Golden Rail, Dun Dees where I was a bartender and Anthony was a bouncer. Believe me when I say Anthony didn't take no shit. Anthony was kind as he was serious. He had a great heart, he would give u the shirt off his back. He loved cats. Him and I always had cats and dogs when we were roommates. But nothing could ever touch Fuji that was his dog. His child hood dog until his early thirty's. He love that dog. Like he loved his 1968 XR7Cougar that was his pride and joy. It was his baby. Any time I ever called on Anthony he would come. That's the type of person he was. As much as it hurts to have him taken at such a young age. If it wasn't for the talks I had over the phone with Anthony I wouldn't have got over losing my sister Debbie, my son Justin & my mother Ruth. It was a hard lose so many great people in my life. My step father Robert. Anthony new these people that were in my life they were in his life too. He was just as hurt. He was a great friend comforting me over lost in my life. Now I lose my best friend. They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Well in the last seven years I lost seven great people. Around the same time every year. Thanksgiving and Christmas. Well I can't take any more. Please God! Anthony was a big lost to me. When u loss some one you care for. You never get over them. It's like my mother said. When we lost my sister Debbie. You just go through the motion. U just exist. "I'm sorry I don't handle funerals." I've been to so many in the last seven years. The one thing I didn't get a chance to say is goodbye to my best friend. I sent him his Christmas card and he never had the chance to open it. Anthony I love you. You were my friend, my brother, my bodyguard, my roommate, the one thing I didn't get to tell you. You were my Hero!!!! I will be lost with out you. Until we see each other again. I love you bro. I know your with my cousin Colleen, sister Debbie, my son Justin, my mother Ruth my, uncle Sunny, my dad Robert. Keep a watch over them for me. Well until u call for me Anthony I will miss you. To your family Anthony, my heart goes out to you guy's you all are in my prayers. Anthony, Truly you are my best friend, you always made me laugh, Love away, Skip

In loving memory's:
09/03/66-12/20/2014 R.I.P. Anthony Lambert Marullo (Tony)

Tony, I will miss you. Whenever I saw you in Price Chopper you always said hello and I loved talking about animals with you. I know how much you loved them. You were a kind hearted, gentle person and you always made my day with your smile! I will miss seeing you and talking with you. May you rest in peace and know that you will be truly missed and never forgotten by all who knew you.

My sweet sweet Tony.. I can't stop thinking about you... I'm going to miss our phone Conversations we used to talk for hours and laugh like crazy over the stupidest things. I remember when you first came to Queens you were like oh my god this is crazy The streets are too small for my truck. You are the sweetest man I have ever met I'm going to miss you Tony...... I love you...rest in peace

Dear Roberta and Dave,

I am having difficulty grasping what I just read.
Roberta, my heart goes out to you and your family. It was way too soon to be taken away.

I don't know how it is possible, but I wish you all the comfort and peace possible. Here I sit, a tough guy, with tears in my eyes trying to type this message. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 

Tom, Ellen, and Theo.

Anthony:) Just wanted to let you know of what a blessing it is to have had the pleasure to be with you in my early and later years. I am sorry that I laughed at you when our neighbors' dog scared you so bad that it made you run away crying and I laughed at you...honestly; the little fella just wanted to play with you. I have heard testimonies about your kindness and how it has touched the heart of many. Your time upon this earth has been awesome and I am sure that you lived it "LARGE," living it your way. I will always cherish your memory and keep you alive. My Dearest Cousin have another; "LARGE," journey in your new life!!!!

My Upmost Prayers and Condolences are with Your Family. May Peace and Tranquility be with All during this sudden loss of Anthony.

Loving Forever and a Day;

Virginia Edelen (Plemmons)

Anthony,
I remember the times that you all came to Grandma & Papa's when we were little and we played ball out in the front yard of our house and had so much fun. I will always remember the trip that Mama & I made up there to visit when I was 12 and all the memories of playing on the bluff, you, John & your sisters trying to play matchmaker with me & Greg down the street, and the delicious pizza pies. Those are some sweet childhood memories that will remain in my heart forever. Through your kind gift of organ donation, your presence will live on in people that I only hope one day your family will get to meet. You, like me have always loved animals and I am sure that many will be touched by the generous donations of all your friends and family as memorials to you.
I am so glad to know that God allowed you & Laura to cross paths and that you & her were so happy and enjoying life until your last breath. Maybe one day I will get to meet her also and share some sweet memories.
We never know what God has planned for our last days on earth, but it makes me proud to know that you enjoyed life, loved your family and made so many people happy who had the honor of knowing you. Give all our mutual loved ones a big hug & kiss for me & save me a seat sweet cuz... I Love You and may you rest in eternal peace in the hands of Jesus.

Merry Christmas Tony. I love you.

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you

Never knew the best was yet to come

Like a song of love that clings to me,
How the thought of you does things to me.
Never before
Has someone been more...

Unforgettable
In every way,
And forever more
That's how you'll stay.

Merry Christmas Tony

Love you-

Always Laura

I knew Tony from work. He was a great guy and will be dearly missed. My condolences to his family in their time of grief.

Tony will always be in my heart. Your family, will be in my thoughts and prayers.

There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said already, about how wonderful you are Tony. You're a beautiful person, inside and out. I hope you're up there watching us, making sure we're all behaving.

It's been a pleasure Tony. I'm glad, and honored to have worked with you, for the last 11 yrs.

Love you Tony.

•Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that they are happy. -Author Unknown

Thank you... For the laughs.. For the talks. For helping me when I was confused and down...

A piece of my heart died with you. I miss you more than words can ever explain. I love you.

tony was a wonderful person and so much fun to be with. I will never forget a wedding that we all went to. Tony danced and laughed and enjoyed life. I shall miss him and wish to give my sincerest condolences to his family. God bless you Tony, my friend and co-worker for many years....Joyce

Tony- he was a tough nut, we both were but he would always remind me that it is what is in the inside that matter.

Tony was a solid man, not just physically but in areas. He was a man of character and integrity. His compassion and goodwill for all living creatures despite their fragilities was beyond measure. He managed to see past all the dust, and rust- the dirt and filth and see the beauty beyond all the goop.

It is my firm belief that God sent him to me- he opened my eyes, my heart, I learned how to breath again- to feel again, to find the beauty in myself, others and the world as a whole.-to be loved without any conditions is something I have never known.

To say this is a difficult time- well that would be an understatement...Tony's untimely death has once again reminded me that life is short, and we must seize the moments that we are given, to live, to love and to get over the obstacles that life throws us and with a silent prayer may we have God's grace to lead us the way.

Perfect love should be without fear and God knows I loved him perfectly. I loved him the only way I knew how and I honored him as only a woman could. Treasure him I did as he was too valuable of an individual. I made every effort to comfort him in the moments he needed comforting and God knows, I tried to be all that he needed me to be.

For me Tony is everywhere, he is the wood, in the lights that twinkle from the Christmas tree that he put up for me, he is the breeze that caresses my face in the early morning light, his laughter bounces along the walls....And yes- I reflect back to those moments, the memories, and yes the tears fall down my face. I can't cry hard enough, and it may be foolish to hope and believe that he sees me from heaven and his desire would be to comfort me now.

All we do in life echo's into eternity- may Tony be wrapped in the love of all those who loved him and may he feel the peace beyond all understanding that only our Lord and savior can provide.

I hold his mug in my hand, and think back to all our conversations over coffee- there was never a day that past that Tony didn't teach me something new.

Tony in my heart I carry you, and in each step I take in this healing process I hope that you are on one side and God on the other.

Several years ago there was movie called P.S. I love You- to tell you I cried, would be a lie, I balled my eyes out.....Much like I am now..Hear me- make any wrongs right, mend the bridge, make the call...Say I love you in words and actions.....Although it is difficult, seize the moment, live life likes its the last.....Time is not on our side, and those with whom we love, are like grains of sand in our hands...May I take my own advice.

Tony told me once that he wasn't going anywhere- but so it was, God called him home and here we are to pick up the pieces of our broken hearts and learn to breath again- to live again.

I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast

And now that you've gone
I can't cry hard enough
No,I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite

There it goes, up in the sky
There it goes, beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is an empty chair

And now that you've gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

There it goes, up in the sky
There it goes, beyond the clouds
For no reason why I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

And now that you've gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Tony, my friend, my side kick, my everything may I continue to honor you in how I proceed forward with the life I have left.....And as always, may you forget me not.

P.S. I love you

Tony whenever you entered a room, your light always shined. You always were positive, kind and never stopped giving. You touched each of us and your light will be missed. God bless you Tony. We will truly miss you. Rest in peace. Love Lori and Danny
