Nicky tomorrow makes 11 years you left this world and you took my heart and soul with you. I am just a shell of myself and can’t for the life of me understand why I am still here I wish I could see your beautiful smile and handsome face again. I forget your voice and my heart hurts even more. Please remember how much you are loved and missed and please watch over your son always. With a broken heart I send you all my love. xoxo Mom

Happy heavenly birthday Nicky! I’m a day late, but that’s because yesterday was crazy with work and the kids. I texted your mom to let her know I’m always here for her. I hope you continue to leave her signs daily. She needs you now more than ever. 10 years gone is a long time. I miss your laugh and your beautiful smile. You’d love the boys! Robby has a personality just like yours. I think about you all the time. I love you!!!!

Love of my life you hurt me. Taken my heart then you leave me. I’m at a loss of words since we are at 10 years. I still see your most handsome face beautiful smile and a laugh that would comfort me thru anything. I ask you all of the time to come get me. All that I love is in heaven and I’m so ready to come with you. I still can’t believe I’m still here even though I want to be with you. Love you more than anyone or anything in my life.

Hi Nick, Happy Birthday son but I wish it really was happy. Miss you terribly and nothing can be more sadder than not having you here with us to laugh anymore. I can never type to you because it makes me cry to much not having you here with me but I will try my best. Hope all is well with you and someday we can pick up where we left off I hope. Take care love you always Dad.

Dear Nicky,
I honestly cannot believe we have been living without your smile here for 10 years! We all miss you so very much, especially your beautiful sister who looks so much like you, and your dad! Ava always asks me why you went to heaven so soon and before she could really get to know her big brother. I still see you sitting on the couch and wish I could hear your infectious laugh again! I know you are looking over all of us including our beautiful Michael. I pray you are happy with the angels but it is our hearts that miss you so much. Until we meet again, please help guide us in this crazy world we are navigating. Sending all our love, Renee, Dad and Ava xoxo

Lillll niickkkyyyyy. It’s Mike Materasso’s little sister . Still to this day, anytime someone addresses me like that, I forever think of you. And no matter how big you were, you will always be little Nicky to me!!! I was reminiscing about the good old north Ave days recently! I can still see you in your G-Unit tank top always looking out for me. Well everyone. That’s what you did. You were everyone’s protector. Member the Jodi and _____ days?!? Haha you know who. You used to lecture me each and every night but I would never listen!! I miss our long drives in my truck (you were one of the very few who were ever allowed to drive my baby). We all miss you so very much. Love you always

Nicholas.. it’s so hard even after all this time to accept that you are not here. We know you are happy in heaven but we are the ones who suffer here without you. I still swear you are here when I hear daddy laugh or when Ava says something that completely reminds me of you. She still asks me why god took her big brother and I’m never sure what to say.
Fly high with the angels and please continue to watch over all of us, especially in these uncertain and frightening times. We miss you dearly! ❣️Please give my dad a hug!

My beautiful Nicholas, the little boy who came into my life at age 3 and left us way too soon... we all miss you so much! Your sister always asks me why God wanted you to live with him so soon, I never quite know how to answer her. When daddy laughs I still swear it’s you. 8 years is a long time to not see your beautiful smile and hear your infectious laugh. Please watch over everyone, it’s a crazy world we are all trying to navigate through these days and we need the guidance and protection of our angels... I just really wish you weren’t one of them. Please give my dad a hug, it’s insane how much I need him and tell Nonna we miss her too! Be happy with the angels Nicholas, they are the lucky ones to have you there! Sending our love always to Avas “big Nick”...

Lillll Nickkkyyyy it’s mike materrrasssooooo’s littlleeee sister (in THE voice). That’ll never get old to me. I think and talk about you often. We had some great times together!! North ave. NJ. CT. NYC. New Rochelle. Bronx to name a few.. Oh man we were everywhere. You were one of the only people I used to let drive my truck!! Remember that?!? I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. I pray that you are at peace. I had a dream of you recently (I called your mom of course). We were going to the movies and we were so late that we got stuck in the front row. We were blaming each other about being late and hysterical laughing. We kept getting yelled at and being told to “shhhhhhh.” Of course we’d stop but then minutes later, we were laughing about something else lol. We never listened! You were so happy and so healthy. That’s how I will remember you. Always. My favorite memory to this day was that ride home from NJ!! THANK GOD we supersized our drinks is all I can say You know what I’m talking about lol. Miss and love you so much. Watch over your family and especially that beautiful son of yours.

Merry Christmas beautiful Nicholas... I often wonder how different all our lives would be if you were still here. Ava started crying the other night and when I asked her why she told me “I miss my big brother, why did he have to go to heaven so soon”. I wish I had the answer for her. Stay close to all of us, your dad misses you more than life and I see and feel the heartache in his face too often! I miss our 2am chats on the couch and watching movies with you. Be happy always Nicky and please give my dad a hug, I sure wish I could!

I can't believe I just discovered this page all these years later. I think of you everyday my man. I swear I feel guilt over not being able to help you more but I was screwed up then too. We were close when times were good and we were close when times got rough. I wish I had saw something more in your depressions than I did at the time.
I miss those days when we were kids hanging out in new Rochelle lounging on the couch with your dog Caesar watching Sopranos. Or the times I'd pick you up in the Bronx and you'd spend the day hanging out and talking. We always could relate on another level.
Nick was a nice nice guy and always wanted to take care of his friends. I wish I could take care of you now my friend.
I hope your son is doing well and managing through childhood okay without you. I'm sure your family is there for him. I think about him too.
I hope this sounded okay. It's hard putting what u feel on paper.

Dear Nicky,
Crazy how much time has gone by since you left us, and left a huge impression on our hearts. Today’s Grandma Gloria’s birthday. Hope you’re celebrating with all of them up there. I’ll never forget the moments we shared growing up; football in Grandpa AL’s backyard (that man was always yelling ), pool days on Seacord, family vacations and you having to defend me in my teenage years. You always carried your heart on your sleeve. I’m constantly reminded you are here. I swear every time I look at the clock it’s 11:03 and I know it’s you saying “hiiii cuz!” I can hear you now. My son reminds me so much of you too. He’s a wild one with a good heart. He is always putting on dada’s and mama’s shoes, which also reminds me of you. I’ll never forget your smile and the way you made people laugh. Missing you always♥️ Love you.

Two Years...Loved and Missed by Many
October 6, 2014
Can't believe two years have past already...still in denial as I expect you still to come home...how I wish you would....Had a mass for you on 10.3 and I included Heather also...I invited her family and met her mom and sister and mom's husband...I think they were so happy that she was remembered with you on this very important day. Went to the GWbridge...and walked and laid yellow roses in the water by the lighthouse....I know you were there with me...Aunt Jo, Gloria, Christina, Kristen and Jeanne came with me....It was a moving experience but for some reason I really felt you by my side standing there and wondering what you were thinking, feeling, but couldn't wrap my head around any of this....Sunday we did the AFSP Out of the Darkness walk in your honor...If you could see the people that came out to celebrate your life and love and miss you...you would be blown away.....Yes, my dear son...you are so truly loved and missed....Your son was so awesome...although I'm sure he doesn't understand any of this...which buys us time to see how to explain this to him....I posted the group picture so you can see...love and miss you more than you can imagine...always and forever the love of my life, my heart, my soul, my everything...Soar with the angels but stay close and watch over Mikey and guide him always....xoxoxo Mommy

My darling son..."Where are you?" I miss you so much and the pain gets worse each day I don't hear your voice or see your beautiful face...When will I join you..only God knows..but I am counting the days...Wish I could be there with you and here with your son...I know I can't leave him because your last words were for me to take care of Mikey....and I will honor your wish for as long as possible. Tomorrow is your mass and Sunday I am walking for AFSP....in your honor...How I wish you knew how much you are loved. And if you did, I don't think you would have left us....I am so depressed and struggling to get through the days ahead. Perhaps you miss me too and will come to visit me in my dreams...I think I'm still in denial because I expect you to walk through the door...so I can hug and kiss you and to hear your voice and see your beautiful smile...Hope you are at peace and surrounded by love...soar witj the angeks baby,,,but pleae always remember that no one loves you more,,,you are the love of my life, my heart, my soul, my world...Mommy xoxox
