This is a touching poem - Our hearts go out to your whole family and we'll pray for your strength at this time ****************** "I'll send you for a little time A child of mine, He said, For you to love the while he lives And mourn for when he's dead. It may be forty or fifty years, Or even two or three But will you, till I call him back, Take care of him, for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You'll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked this wide world over In my search for teachers true. And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have selected you. Now, will you give him all your love, Nor think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to call To take him back again." I fancied that I heard him say, 'Dear Lord thy will be done.' For all the joy thy child shall bring, The risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, We'll love him while we may And for the happiness we've known, Forever grateful stay. But should the angels call for him Much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, And try to understand." Author Unknown

Dear Nichole, Joe, and the entire family, We have not stopped thinking about you and Caleb from the moment we heard. What can we say that hasn't been said to you in the other 50 messages? Caleb was the closest thing we had to a nephew, and a very large reason why we want to have children. We loved him more than we can express, and we love you more than you know. We will always be here for you, and you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts ache, even as we write this and look at his picture. He was the most beautiful and happy child we have ever encountered, and we consider ourselves lucky to have ever been a part of his life and yours. All our love, Maleesa and Brian

We know the Jesus also weeps And every grief He shares Those tiny hands now reach for Him. Protected from all harms. For surely there's no safer place Than in the Master's arms

Hey my sweet little man, This week is one of the hardest weeks for all of us. The constant memories of 5 years ago are still so fresh in my mind i can every day. Even though I try not to, it's hard. In my mind I can't believe you have actually been gone for 5 years but in my heart it feels like forever. You are so missed by everyone and thoughts of you are never far away. I try to remember all the special memories you gave to Pop Pop and I, and there were so many. Your smile that lit up a room the minute you entered it, those eyes that could make you get anything you wanted and that beautiful beautiful laugh that just made my heart warm. You were such a special gift Caleb, one who will be treasured for always. I thank you for watching over all of us especially in times of need and for all the special little babies you have sent us. I promise you they will all know how very special their cousin Caleb was and always will be. We are getting ready for the big fundraiser and we are all working hard to make it successful again this year so be with us little man. Please keep sending us those special pennies especially when we need them the most. Those little signs you send us mean more than anything in the world. I hope the sun shines later on today because then i will know it is your smile letting us all know you are okay and still with us in our hearts. I miss you my sweet sunshine and I love you to the moon and back for always. Love, Hugs and lots of kisses from your Gia.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Good Morning my little sunshine, Another month has gone by and we are working really hard to get ready for your fundraiser next month. We have lots of donations and mommy and I are working like crazy to put the baskets together in the basement again and things are looking good. We just hope you send lots of people out that day so we can raise lots of money for you and we can help many families. Easter is coming up and I wish you were here so we could have an Easter egg hunt with you and all your sweet little cousins. I picture you all running around in the yard finding eggs and baskets and chocolate bunnies. There are a lot of things going on right now, we are really busy but thoughts of you are always with us everyday. When mommy and I work downstairs we get so involved and I sometimes have to remind myself why we are doing all this work. But then I remember and all the time we spend making this fundraiser successful, makes me feel closer to you. Well my little man I have to make some bows for your baskets so I'm gonna go for now. I will stop by later to read you a book and sit for a bit. Please watch over Uncle Benny, he is having a tough time right now and needs a little xtra care. Just remember I love you to the moon and back forever my sweet boy. Love and kisses, Gia

Lots of Love from Gia posted a condolence

Hey my sweet little man, I just wanted to say Happy Easter to you sweet boy. I hope you had a big easter basket and found lots of eggs today, and of course lots of chocolate bunnies. It was a sad day cause i didn't get to see any of my little angels, but i did get to visit you for a little bit and brought you a new pinwheel and your easter bunny again. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining bright and the warm rays but there is still a sadness in my heart cause you're not here. I imagine you would have been running around looking for eggs and eating chocolate and peeps. I could just see you and emmy chasing each other all around and little benny trying to keep up, while Melaina just sat in her little chair taking it all in. I did get to spend a little time with mommy today, and we are trying to finish up your baskets and get ready for the big day. Hope you send us lots of people to win your baskets, buddy. We need a beautiful weekend to make all the ppl want to come out and support us just like every other year. Well punkin pie, i have to go to work now so happy easter little man. I love you to the moon and back forever (and so does pop pop). Miss you sweet boy. Love hugs and kisses from Gia

Hiya buddy, Well the time is here and we are almost ready to have your big fundraiser this weekend. We have worked so hard to put it together and ppl have been so supportive again this year. It seems to get better and better every year. We have some awesome baskets this year buddy and you would just love your two special baskets. So we have the baskets, the food, the volunteers and now we just need the people to show up so help us out little man okay. And decent weather would be great so people can go sit outside on the deck. I know i ask a lot of you, but this is all for you sweet boy and all the sick little children we are going to be able to help with the money we raise. We have done so well with donations so far, now we just need a good turnout this weekend and we will be in great shape. There is a great article online about you and mommy, probably the best one ever. Alex did a great job for you in telling your story and we have already had many donations because of it so just keep helping us find new people like my friend from the spa who had two bake sales and raised $1500 for you. She is so excited to come up and meet everyone this weekend. It is amazing and i hope you can see all the hearts you are still touching my sunshine. We won't ever let that stop. I hope daddy builds the playground with your name on it cause i will take all your cousins there to play and they will know how special you are and they will get to know you through all of us. Well i will let you know how we do this weekend when its all over. And make sure you and all your friends watch for all the balloons we will be sending your way. I love u my little man to the moon and back forever. xoxoxoxoxox Gia Sorry i didn't get to read you a book today but i will come visit soon and do just that. love u Caleb xoxoxo

Hey sweet boy, Well it's been so crazy since the tricky tray, i haven't had a minute to even sit down and tell you how we did. First of all, i thank you for the beautiful weather for the pub crawl, the tricky tray and the golf outing. The pub crawl Aunt C.C. organized was great, lots of fun and we raised almost $4000. It was a wonderful group of ppl that came out to support your foundation and the weather was fantastic. The tricky tray was awesome and you did a great job in sending us lots and lots of people. We raised so much money it was amazing. Aunt Jess did an amazing job on the videos again this year and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. The songs were just perfect and it was really tough to see your mommy get upset. She misses you so much Caleb and she works so hard on your foundation, so we can help as many families as possible. Everyone of us is involved that day and it truly is an amazing experience. I hope you and all your friends got all the colorful balloons we sent up to you with lots of loving messages. Thank you for making it such a wonderful day for everyone. The golf outing, again was another beautiful day, the weather was great and the people who came out are just so supportive. It was fun and we raised even more money. And finally little man, I thank you for the beautiful day you gave mommy for her wedding. It was perfect, except that you weren't there, although we felt you everywhere. The butterflies flying all around especially the beautiful monarch that flew over your mom when pop pop was walking her up the steps. I know that was you, giving her your blessing. Oh buddy it truly was a beautiful day and she is so happy. Finally after all these years she can smile again. You would love Danny and I know he would adore you. Actually he already does, cause he is one of your biggest supporters and does anything he can for all of us and he makes Mommy so happy. She will never stop missing you little man, just like the rest of us, but the sparkle in her soul is back and that is a wonderful thing. Now she just needs one more thing to make her life complete and I hope God has that in his plans for her. Another little baby to love just like you would be her miracle. Even though a piece of her heart will only belong to you, she still has so much more to give. And besides, you need to send your little brother or sister so she can have someone to share all her memories of you with. Oh my sweet boy, not a day goes by that you aren't in our thoughts. You are so present in our lives as though you just left yesterday and that will never change. I love finding your pennies especially when i need them the most and It always brightens my day. Well my little sunshine, I will try and get there later to read you a book, hopefully on my way to work. I need to water your flowers too, and if the sun is shining i'll know you are there with me. I love you my sweet little man, to the moon and back forever. Hugs and kisses from your Gia xoxoxoxoxoxoxo mwhaaaaaaa

Hey My Little Man, Another month has passed which doesn't seem possible but here i am again. Mommy had a beautiful day yesterday and she is just so happy which is wonderful to see. Dan is such a good man and you would have really liked him and I know he loves you cause he's always doing nice things for us and for mommy and he does lots of good things that are all about you. So thank you for watching over her. Well buddy, now we get to Pop Pop. I really need your help now to watch over him. He could be facing some really tough times ahead, we all could so if you could send us some positive energy and some good signs to keep our hopes up, we all need something to keep us going. This is a really scary time buddy and i'm sorry that i keep coming to you but i just don't know where else to go. I'm really scared and i'm trying to keep my feelings to myself but it's still really hard. The not knowing what will be is really difficult, yet i'm sure the knowing may be even moreso. I really need you right now my little man so please help Gia stay positive and let me know things are gonna be okay. Your flowers mommy planted look beautiful and i try to get there to water them a few times a week. Mom did a great job as always. My sunshine, please be with us this week as we wait to hear the results about pop's test and then when we go to the doctors on friday. That is gonna be the hardest time so please please let us know you are there. Thank you for still being the sunshine in ou lives. I love you to the moon and back my sweet boy.

Hi my sweet little man, I know its kind of late but it was a busy day out here in California. I guess you know why we are here, to help make pop pop get well. It's hard to believe that when i wrote to you a month ago, none of this was going on, well at least we didn't know how bad things were and now here we are at this clinic in california, where we hope they can make pop better or at least show us how to do that. All this happened so fast Caleb, and sometimes i don't think its real, just like when we lost you. It just doesn't seem like it is really happening sometimes, but it is and it's so scary. I can't lose your pop pop buddy so we are fighting this thing with everything we've got. He has such a great attitude and has made so many changes in his life, i just don't want them to be to late. We are out here doing this together and your mommy and all her brothers and sisters are at home holding things together for us. If it wasn't for them and uncle Lou, we wouldn't have been able to do this so we are so thankful for every one of them each and every day. I only hope we can somehow repay them one day soon. Pop even finally quit smoking which we know was the hardest, i just wish he had done it so much sooner but i am so proud of all the changes he has made. We really need you to watch over him sweet boy, please let him know you are there. I haven't gotten any signs lately, or have i missed them???I look all the time but I just haven't felt them so please just give me some kind of sign to let me know things are gonna be okay. I'm so scared little man, scared like i was when you got sick but i am gonna do whatever i can for him, so send me some courage and lots of strength to do what i have to do to help him. Being away has been so good for us as a couple, i feel like the old us is back and that makes me so happy. Well my boy i guess i better get some sleep cause we have a long day tomorrow. I hope Aunt Nicole is taking care of your flowers cause Pop and I usually stop there a few times a week to water them and pick off the dead buds so i hope she has remembered to go there and do it for us. I'll be over when we get back i promise but until then, please watch over your pop pop for me and help me to do the same. Love and miss you so much my sweet man. Hugs and kisses for you with love to the moon and back from your Gia xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Good night my sweet sweet Caleb!!!

Hello my sweet little man, Well Pop and I are back home now and he did real well out in California but it wasn't easy. And now we are home and trying real hard to follow everything we did out there, but it is definitely harder now being at home with so many temptations and so many things available. We are definitely having our struggles but we are trying to keep things together and are still working the program. In fact the kids are also doing this with us which is such a sign of support and a big help to both of us, knowing they are on board to help us in any way they can. So many things are going on right now and i am definitely having some tough times sweet boy but sure could use some good signs to let me know things are gonna be okay. I miss you my little man and i am so sorry i haven't been over to see you in awhile. It has just been tough trying to get back into some kind of routine with all the things we have to do and getting back to work is really wearing me out. I love the guests and the people i work with, but i'm so tired and i feel very worn out from these long hours. It is not easy but i am truly doing the best i can. I miss getting your signs and i still look for them everyday. I had a very nice guest today ask me about my blue arm band and when i told him your story, he handed me $100 cause he was so touched by the story of your too short but beautiful life. See, you are still touching hearts everyday in so many ways. I really need a little something extra right now buddy. I truly need some extra prayers and some watching over these days so if you could just let me know you are right here with me it would mean so very much. I keep thinking about the beautiful butterfly that flew over our heads right after we got out of the doctors office and that was the most awesome moment for all three of us. I just felt like you validated why we were there and that things were gonna be okay. Well my boy I know you are watching over your Pop Pop and that is all i can really ask of you. I think of you every day my little man and i love you to the moon and back again. Love hugs and kisses Your Gia xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Good morning my sweet little man, It looks to be a beautiful day outside, reminds me of your last day, when i woke up to the beautiful sunshine as i walked down the hospital hallway, thinking it was going to be a wonderful day. But it turned out to be one of the hardest days of our lives, letting you go that afternoon. And even though it feels like yesterday sometimes, it still amazes me that it has been almost 6 years. I just don't know how time has gone so fast since that dreadful day. There has been a lot of sadness around here lately, some friends have lost loved ones and a very good friend of ours is fighting for her life right now so I'm asking you to watch over Diane for her family. They loved you and have supported everything we do for you each and every year so we are doing our best to return that thoughtfulness to them at their difficult time. Diane is a beautiful person who has such a gentle spirit and has a special place in her heart for you and your mommy, so if you could send down some angel hugs to her that would really mean a lot buddy. Pop pop has had a tough time too lately but i know you are up there keeping him safe. Just help him to stay positive and not lose that spirit he has had that has been keeping him going. Some days are really tough, like last night and i just don't know what to do for him so please little man, give me a sign so i know how to help him out. We are all trying to support him and it is not always easy but it always helps when we get any kind of sign or feeling that what we are doing is helping. We are getting ready for Uncle Benny's wedding next week and i'm sure you will be watching and spreading your beautiful energy throughout the day. Help us to all feel that you are there with us, cause you are in our hearts, but it is always nice to get some kind of sign from you too. Like at Mommy's wedding when the butterfly flew right over mommy's head as she and pop pop walked up the steps to meet Danny. We knew you were there giving her you blessing and it was such a special moment for her and for all of us to feel your presence. Not a day goes by my little sunshine that thoughts of you aren't everywhere. I still see your sweet face and those big beautiful brown eyes, especially sometimes when i look at your cousin Emmy, it is amazing how alike you both are. You would have been the best big cousin to all these little ones, but even though you are not here, they will know you, i promise you that. We are all making sure you will always be a part of each and everyone of their lives. Mommy and Danny started building their house finally and they are so excited to be able to begin this adventure together so hopefully you can see what a beautiful thing they have going. He is a really good man who loves your mommy more than anything in the world and it is so good to see her smile again, even though a tiny piece of her heart will always be sad because you are not here with her. You just keep letting her know you ARE with her and that is what helps her move forward. Well my sweet boy, Gia has lots to do today so i better get going. I will think of you all day as i look outside and remember how you always brought the sunshine into our lives every single day. I miss you more and as always I love you to the moon and back forever. Love, hugs and kisses from your Gia xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Happy 8th Birthday my sweet little man. I just want you to know i have been thinking about you all day long. I can't believe you are 8 years old today and i just try to envision what you look like and how big you must be now. Do you still have mommys sparkling eyes and beautiful smile, or daddys turned up nose? Are you taller than your mommy yet? So many things i think about when i picture you in my mind. I hope you had the best birthday party ever in heaven today. We went to Mass and breakfast today and kept up our tradition of being together and mommy baked cupcakes for you and all your friends who stopped by to visit you and they were yummy. I miss you everyday sweet boy. Happy happy birthday my Caleb!!! Love you to the Moon and Back Forever and Ever ... Love, Hugs and Kisses from your Gia

Hey my sweet man, I know i just wrote to you last week on your birthday but this day is always one full of memories and my day to just let you know i'm thinking of you as always. Even though the 25th is always a day of difficult memories, this day is also a happier day cause it's Emmy's birthday. I still think of her as the gift you sent us on this day to help ease the pain of this day and i'll always be grateful for that. It doesn't mean i still don't have my tough moments but this one day is always a little easier because of Em. But today i am writing to you also cause i need your help buddy. Well Pop Pop needs your help, he is really not feeling well and i am so scared for him right now. I don't know what to do to help him get better and i'm turning to you once again for some kind of sign that things will work out. Please Caleb give me some kind of sign that he is gonna be okay, just a little sign of hope is all i need to keep me going. I know you are watching over him everyday and i thank you for that and i am trying so hard to stay strong but it is really tough some days to see him so not himself. If you could give me anything little man, just a little something to encourage me and help me to stay in the positive mode i would be so grateful. I wish i could see your smile even in my dreams or hear that beautiful laugh of yours. You could always make me feel so much better when things weren't quite right. Well my Caleb, i have to go to work, so i am going to ask you to watch your pop pop for me today. He is here alone and i will worry all day but i will have a little peace if i know you are keeping an eye on him. I will look for any kind of sign from you just in case you can send me one. I love you more than ever my sweet man, to the moon and back forever!!!! Love hugs and lots of kisses from Gia xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my little man, Well last time i wrote i was asking you to watch over your Pop Pop. This time i'm asking you to watch over us, cause Pop Pop is with you now. I don't understand Caleb why God chose to take Pop to be with you, but i know he is not in pain now and i know he must love being with you again. Gia is really having a tough time with this one buddy, and i am not sure how to keep going without him. Can you tell pop to give me a sign that all will be okay, but that he is still here with me?? I really need to know that buddy. I prayed so hard for a miracle but things didn't turn out the way we were hoping so now you need to take care of him for us. I miss you buddy but now i guess we have 2 angels watching over us. I hope you are helping mommy with this one little man, and i hope you will be helping us the next few days cause we are gonna need it. Keep pop pop happy sweet boy and give him lots of hugs and kisses. I miss you every day and now i'll have 2 letters to write each month. I love you to the moon and back sweet man!!! Love, hugs and kisses from your Gia

Hey my little man, It's so hard to believe that this is our 6th Christmas without you and i try and picture what you would look like today everytime i see a boy who is around your age. The pain is still there, i guess we have just learned how to live with it a little better. Now our pain from losing pop pop is so raw and deep, that it is just like the pain of losing you all over again. I want to find comfort in knowing that you and pop pop are together, but it has been harder than i thought it would be. I just want to know that you are side by side again and that pop is free of pain and loves being with his little man again. I hope you are celebrating together right now as we speak. I just know that this holiday is definitely a challenge for all of us so we could use some extra prayers, and some extra signs that would give us some hope of going forward. This is all still so new to us and we are all grieving so differently and hurting so badly little man. Even though it has been 6 years already, you are still always on our minds and always always in our hearts. Thoughts of you never leave us. I hope you and pop pop have a special Christmas this year buddy and that you can make him laugh and smile just like u use to do. Please give him the biggest hug and kiss from Gia and tell him how much i love and miss him every minute. My heart will be sad today Caleb without two of my favorite men, but i will do my best to make you both proud. I hope you know how much we all miss u buddy. Please have a very merry Christmas and don't ever forget "we love you to the moon and back" forever. Merry Christmas ........ Love and Hugs from your GIA xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Hey my little man, today is one month before the 6th anniversary of giving you your angel wings. I wish I could say losing you has gotten easier but, it hasn't. we have just managed to learm to go forward somehow. There still is not a day that goes by, that thoughts of you don't fill my mind all day long. Only now I think of you with your new buddy up there and my heart breaks even more. I am so jealous that he is there with you when he is suppose to be here with me, so I just hope you can take care of him until gia gets there. I hope you can keep him happy and smiling. We are sad enough here so I don't want him sad too. WE started getting some donations for the foundation, since it is that time again, it just seems like we just put everything away from last year. But it looks like we have some new people and businesses which is always a good thing. I'm sure by next month i'll have some good stuff for you. Just remember we always need xtra prayers to help us get everything done on time and if you can lead us in the right direction for some new things......I stil l love finding your pennies so please keep sending them. Well my little man, please take care of your pop pop for me and give him lots of hugs and kisses. I love you both to the moon and and back forever and ever. love,hugs and kisses from your GIA

Oh my sweet little man, How could 6 years without you go by already?? I still feel like it was just yesterday we were playing hide and seek as I put you to bed at night when you stayed with pop pop and gia. How can it possibly be that you have been gone for 6 whole years already????I can still see your smiling face and hear that special little heart warming laughter you always had. And I can still see you pulling pop pops hair as he sat in his chair and you would come from behind and then you would laugh and laugh.....Oh how I miss those moments Caleb....and now you have your pop pop all to yourself and I just hope your both having lots of fun and special moments together....Gia is so sad without her pop pop buddy so you please take good care of him for me okay.......I know this is a tough day for all of us but especially your mommy, so please stay close to her today and let her know you are there buddy. She really needs her little guy with her right now and I know she can gain strength from you. We are working real hard to get the foundation fundraiser going, we have lots of donations in but lots more to pick up too so we will be starting on our baskets pretty soon. Hopefully we will have another successful year, raising lots of money for Caleb's Pennies so we can help lots more families for you my sweet man. That's what this is all about Caleb, it's all for you. Well bud, I'll be thinking about you and Pop Pop all day today, not that any other day is any different, but I just want you both to know how much I miss you and how very much I love you both. Know you are both in my heart everyday and always in my thoughts. I love u to the moon and back forever......xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my little man, It's that day of the month again when I put aside whatever i'm doing and think about what I want to say to you. The months just seem to go by so fast anymore cause I feel like I just wrote to you a few days ago, but it was actually last month. I still can't believe you're gone at times and then I remember that you and Pop Pop are together again. I miss you both so much every day buddy and I think about you both all the time. I hate to think about Easter this weekend because it will be my first without poppop and all these firsts are really difficult. It doesn't seem to be getting any easier either. I keep really busy so I try not to think too much but that doesn't always work. Right now we are working hard to get your fundraiser underway. We have been working really hard to make things happen but I have to tell you it hasn't been easy, especially this year without pop. He was such a big part of this and I miss his help so much. He did so many things and it is just not the same without him. We have so many good baskets again this year and we have even more people donating, people that are calling us and wanting to be a part of this wonderful cause so you should be real proud of that. I know your Pop would be amazed at how many new people have contacted us this year, I just wish so much he was here to share it with. Well my little man, you take good care of your pop for me and give your great grandma and grandpa a big hug and a kiss for me, tell them I love them and miss them a whole lot. Well talk again soon sweet boy. Love u to the moon and back forever, xoxoxoxoxo Gia

Hey little man, Well here we are again sweet boy. I stopped to see you for a few minutes this morning and i'm so sorry i haven't been able to sit with you and read to you lately, but i promise when we get done with your fundraiser and i can try to get back to a routine that is one of the first things on my list is to come spend some time reading to you. I miss those special moments buddy. We are getting ready for this weekend for your big events and i hope we raise alot of money cause there are so many sick children out there who we want so desperately to help. So i hope you and Pop pop can help us out with the weather and to send ppl out to the events and then we will do the rest. We have awesome baskets again this year buddy and it is amazing how people are now reaching out to us to be a part of this wonderful cause. You are still touching so many hearts and i know that will never change cause you are such a special boy. I hope we can feel you around over the weekend, you and Pop Pop. I miss you both so very much and sometimes it hurts just to breathe. Please know i send hugs and kisses to you and Pop pop every day.... I love you both to the moon and back forever.....Gia

Hey my little man, These back to back letters to you and Poppop are really tough buddy..I miss both of you so much and i'm so lonely without you here. Your fundraiser was awesome and we raised a lot of money for you. I think you would have been so proud of all of us. But now its over and we are trying to get things back to normal although there is no normal here anymore. So many people came out to support you this year it was amazing. I hope you got all the balloons we sent to you after the fundraiser, we sent them up to you an pop so we could make you feel a part of the whole I day. It wasn't the same without your pop here this year and he was really missed by everyone who came. I hope you are both having so much fun with each other but I hope you know how much I miss you both too. Please take care of your pop for me Caleb....give him lots of hugs and kisses from Gia please. Watch over your mommy too please buddy, she really needs you to be with her especially right now with all she is doing.

Hey my little man, Another month has gone by and here I am again. It seems like I just wrote to you only a few days ago but it was actually a whole month ago, I just don't know how time can go so fast. We have a new fundraiser this weekend for you...some of Aunt Jessie's friends decided to put this together so it should be lots of fun and hopefully we raise some money to put towards your foundation...now we just hope we get a good crowd and sell lots of raffle tickets. Im sure you will be watching, you and Pop pop together....and we will be missing you both as always. I wish I could say time makes missing you a little easier, but it doesn't buddy....I still miss you as much as ever, maybe even more. I hope you are taking good care of your pop pop for me and giving him lots of hugs and kisses.....tell him how much Gia misses him okay....Well little man i'll be back to tell you how we make out at the fundraiser this weekend...I love you to the moon and back sweet boy....

Hey my little man, I can't believe another month has passed and life just goes on. We all have so much sadness in our hearts right now buddy. I just wish I could fix things for all of us but I can't and I don't think time can fix things either. Broken hearts can't be put back together that easily. So we just go on one day after another, one foot in front of the other. Aunt Jessie's friends did a great job with your fundraiser last month. WE had a great time and they honored our family for all the work we do for you. WE raised over $4000.00 while having a fun night too. I even won 4 baskets that night....Pop pop would have been proud of me....It was so cool when we pulled into the parking lot after the hard rain on the drive there...we saw a double rainbow and knew you and pop pop were there with us. It was a great night for everyone and we have another $4000 to help more families. Also, mommy finally found a store that we will have all year round and people can drop off stuff there anytime and we will have a sign outside that says Calebs Pennies....we have been over there cleaning up and painting and fixing it up so we can move your stuff there so your mom is really excited to be able have a place with your name on the sign. WEll lots of things going on now buddy so i'll keep you posted on how we're holding up. Give your pop pop lots of hugs and kisses for me ok??? Love u to the moon and back my little man...

Just keep an eye on her okay....and on your pop pop too...i'm sending you both so many big hugs and kisses buddy...I miss you both so very much and always remember I love you to the moon and back forever......

Hey my sweet boy, Another month is gone which is just hard to believe with every one that goes by. Your little cousin Addy arrived safely and beautifully after my last letter....and who was right there to welcome her but you...your photo was right by the tub where she was born and your face was probably one of the first ones she saw when she entered this world....so she too will know you as she grows up cause we wouldn't have it any other way....I love that Emmy, Benny and Laney all know you and know that you are their little cousin....I wish so much you were here to get to know them....I can't believe your birthday is coming up next week and you will be 9 years old. I try and picture what you look like now and try and figure out what you would be doing. Playing football in the fall definitely and most likely baseball in the spring. We would all be going to all your games and with all these aunts and uncles and your mom being the football freaks that they are...well I can just imagine how good of a player you would b.....Oh if only you were still here little man.....you and your pop pop....

Mommy bought you some beautiful flowers and friends brought you your favorite drink and a toy and of course Aunt Jessie brought you balloons....so many people who loved you are thinking about you all day long today and wishing you a special birthday with your pop pop. Someday we will celebrate your birthday together again but until then sweet boy, know that your Gia thinks about you everyday and even more on this special day and I will always remember what a special gift you are and I will help mommy keep your memory alive through your foundation and by helping other sick children. Happy birthday my Caleb....I love you to the moon and back for always....xoxoxoxo Gia

Some days I have to make myself remember that you were really here cause at times it feels like a dream...cause you were taken way too soon from us sweet boy. I miss you so much Caleb and I think about you every day....you and your pop pop. I wish so much life was different and you were still here buddy. We had so many things yet to do...There isn't much for me to say today bud, Gia has had a few tough days but I just want you to know how very much I miss having you here.

Hey Little man, I know this is a little late but it was a crazy busy day. It was a tough weekend for us here and I just can't believe that pop pop has been gone a whole year now. 365 days without him is so surreal and I don't know how we have done it and then I think about you and I don't know how it is possible that you have been gone for almost 7 years now....Oh buddy I think about you every day and when i'm not thinking about you I am definitely thinkin about pop pop. I hope you are with him everyday cause that is the only thing keeping me going sometimes is knowing you are both together again. And its gonna be even tougher with the holidays coming. It is hard to even want to celebrate when special people we love are not here with us. So we put on a happy face and we just try and pretend like everything is okay and just get through the day, but everything is not okay, and we know that. I'm just so sad buddy and it's hard to try and get into the holiday spirit when you feel this way. Maybe you and pop can send me a little Christmas spirit that will help me focus on all the things that need to be done. I have so much to do and pop pop was my special elf who helped me get everything into perspective and then everything worked. He just pushed me gently along till I knew it would all work out. Well i'll be back on Christmas if not before but know that every day you are kept in the corner of my heart that only belongs to you my sweet little man. I love you to the moon and back....your Gia xoxoxoxoxoxo We sent you and pop balloons...I hope you got them.

I hope you can help us all get through this Christmas buddy cause our hearts still hurt from losing you and PopPop so very much. And I ask you to watch over your new baby cousin who will arrive in june and help him or her get here safely and maybe help another little one be on their way sometime soon too.

It is a special time for me to just want to tell you how much I still think of you everyday and how much I miss you. I pray that you and pop pop are together and laughing and playing...just having lots of fun everyday. You will always be my special boy Caleb....a corner of my heart that no one else will ever have. You brought me so much happiness and joy in your two short little years....me and pop pop....you just made us so happy inside and those memories will always live with me forever. We just found out you will have another cousin in a few months...another baby girl coming this way. I hope you can help her find her way here safely buddy. And I hope you are watching over your momma sweet boy....she needs you to keep making her smile everyday.

Hey little man, 7 years??? How is it possible that we have been without you for 7 years now?? When I think of where we were 7 years ago today....well it just doesn't seem possible that this much time has really gone by. I try to picture what you would look like now....would you look like your mommy or your daddy?? Would you be into school stuff or would you be really into the sport scene ...would you be riding your bike to Gia's every day or coming from the bus stop on the way home. There are so many plans we had as you grew up....your pop pop and I just thought we would get to see you so much and that is why we built our house here...to be near you. But now here I am without you and pop pop and all the plans we thought we would do together, so I hope you and pop are doing all the things we always wanted to do. I went to your mass yesterday even though I don't really go to that church anymore and I am going to another one tomorrow that is being said just for you. I am going for you and because I know if Pop was here he would go with me so I hope that makes you both happy that I am there, thinking of both of you. I really miss you both so much my sweet boy and it truly is hard to believe you are both really gone. I don't think my heart will ever be the same again. We are getting underway with your fundraiser and we have started to collect lots of donations and soon we will start putting baskets together. The date will be here before we know it and we have lots to do before that happens. Well Caleb I guess Gia should go to bed cause its late and I have to get up early to go to mass so I will say Good Night to you now. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow but please know that I will be thinking of you both all day long. Loving you and Pop Pop to the moon and back forever.....xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my little man, Another month has gone by and soon it will be your 5 year anniversary. I just don't know how that can be possible when it seems like just yesterday you were here, providing so much joy for us with that beautiful smile and heartfelt laughter. We all made it through the holidays but not a day went by that you weren't thought about. As always you are talked about and missed more than ever. We did feel you with us at the game on sunday and we got your message via the bottle cap. And Aunt Jessie got her message from the pennies she found after lunch. If you had a hand in the outcome of that game, we all thank you. We look forward to the rematch of the 2007 season Superbowl and know you will be a part of that also. I hope you enjoyed the story we shared on the way to work this morning. I enjoyed it more than just reading you another book and that story was a true one that has a lot of meaning behind it. I love u my little sunshine and miss u so very much. We will talk again real soon. Keep watching over the Gmen for us and I can't wait for your special messages next weekend. I love u to the moon and back my sweet Caleb. Lots of Hugs and Kisses from your GIA xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my little man, It's hard to believe that the time of year has come already for your fundraiser. Mommy and I have been working really hard so get all your baskets done and everything ready to go. We have had lots of help from so many people who loved you and even from people who never even met you. Now we have done our part but you and pop pop need to give us the weather and the people to make it all a success. I hope you both are watching over everything on sunday to see how many people care about you and come out to make this a success. The more money we make the more families we can help so bring out lots of people okay....And one more thing, can you watch over mommy right now and help her out buddy....she needs some extra signs right now so let her know that things will work out for her please...I miss you little man..we all do and we think of you every day...you and pop pop.... to the moon and back forever buddy....remember Gia loves u

Merry Christmas Caleb!!!! Hey sweet angel boy, we just wanted to tell you Merry Christmas and to let you know, that of course we are thinking of you as always. It's Christmas Day and thoughts of you keep going through my mind, wondering what it would be like if you were here and how exciting Christmas would have been for you this year. We all had a great week, getting the chance to spend some time together, but now that everyone has gone home or is with their other families, it is really quiet and the silence makes the day so much harder. Now i really start to think about you, mom, dad, and all those I have lost in my life and it just brings the sadness into my life once again. I can only hope that you are all having your own little party together and celebrating this very special day. Thank you for sending us Melaina and for helping her to arrive safely, she is a very beautiful gift to all of us. And if you had anything to do with helping to find Aunt Jessie's ring, well i thank you so very much cause it made her Christmas so special this year. Pop and I will be coming to visit with you and bring your card in a little while but i wanted to write your letter now before we came. I guess there isn't much more to say except how very much we miss you, our sweet little man, and to let you know that thoughts of you are always on our minds and in our hearts. Have a wonderful happy 'Christmas, angel boy and we will talk soon. Always remember, we love you to the moon and back forever and ever. Love, hugs and kisses from Gia & Pop Pop If you can give me any clues to find Nana and Pops card, or Taylors earrings or our card, well you know what i will be looking for. I will be watching little man. Love u bud, Merry Christmas xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my little man, well I am a little late with my letter but it was a really busy day helping Mommy and Dan clean up the yard and all your cousins have been here so I haven't had much free time for me. Anyway I love having them here, I just wish you were here with us, cause then it would be almost perfect....perfect would be if you and pop pop were both here......... Your fundraiser was a huge success again this year, I believe we raised almost $50,000 for Calebs Pennies which will go far in helping families so it was another good year. Your memory continues to live on in the hearts of all those who love you but also in the hearts of all those who support you and those who you have helped...you continue to leave your mark on this world my sweet boy. Thanks for the pennies I have found lately bud...I really need them to pick up my day sometimes, I just wish I would get more signs from ur pop pop....can you talk to him please for me? And can you take care of your mommy too buddy...I worry about her a lot with everything she has going on. Well your new cousin Harper will be here next week so I hope you and Pop help her to arrive safely....we are all pretty excited but it would be perfect if only you and pop were here to welcome her with us.....I miss you everyday bud and my heart still aches without you buddy... I just hope you are up there watching over us somehow......Love u to the moon and back for always my punkin pie.....Hugs and kisses from ur Gia

Happy Thanksgiving posted a condolence

Hey my shining star, I wanted to wish you a happy thanksgiving and write you a letter so i figured I would do both at the same time. I am going to try and stop to see you tomorrow on my way to work. Thanksgiving was just another day today cause pop and i had to work and didn't get a chance to see any of your aunts and uncles or your mommy and that was kind of disappointing, but on Saturday we are going to Uncle Herbie's to have dinner with them and Aunt Jess and Aunt CC. We will see cousin Emmy and maybe your new cousing will arrive this weekend while we are there. I hope you watch over her and help her arrive safely just like you did Emmy and Benny. I so wish you were here to be the big boy cousin they could look up to cause i know you would have done a great job with that. But all we can do is continue to talk about you and tell special stories and share what a special boy you are to us and that will help them all get to know you like we want them too. Mommy picked out her wedding dress buddy and she is gonna look beautiful. She is so happy and Dan is gonna take real good care of her. He loves her so very much and he is a real good guy. I think you would like him and I know he would love you. So maybe you can just watch over your mommy and help her plan her future. We will soon be starting on the fundraiser, getting flyers out there and collecting donations again while helping your mom with her wedding plans so we have a lot to do after the new year. Christmas is coming soon, of course i am not ready but hopefully by the time it gets here I will be. It just seems to get harder every year, but somehow we manage to pull it off. Well buddy, I have to go sew uncle benny's pants so i can get some sleep. I love you to the moon and back forever and ever. Happy Thanksgiving my sweet little man. Love and hugs from Gia xoxoxoxo

Hey little man, I am a little late with my letter but that doesn't mean I haven't thought about you all day as always. It just amazes me how fast each month goes by and then I am right back here writing you again. I will always keep thoughts of you in my heart along with so many memories that I have tucked away to bring out when I need them the most. Keep watching over mommy Caleb please and let her know you are always with her. I wish you could see these cute little kittens we have here....you would love them to pieces cause they are so much fun....I often think about what you would look like now, what sports would you be playing, what subject would you like the best, would you have a little girlfriend......so many things I think about every day but I know I can't change things, so I will just keep all these memories and thoughts in my heart. I need to get some sleep now buddy so I will be back again soon. Until then remember Gia loves you to the moon and back for always....hugs and kisses to you and pop pop...xoxoxoxoxo

Hey my sweet boy, I am so sorry i didn't get to do this yesterday but Gia had a bad day and couldn't get to the computer all day. But i still thought about you, as always and so I am writing to you now. I didn't get to come and read you a book but i will on another day, i promise. Thanks for being with me yesterday when i had my test done, I felt like you were there holding my hand and it helped to calm me down. Please be with your little cousin Benny this week when they have to take him to the doctor, and i think uncle benny is going to need you to help him be strong too. Your little cousin Emmy had a birthday yesterday, she is two now just like you were not so long ago. It seems like that was only yesterday that we had your 2nd birthday party for halloween at your house. I can still see you sitting on your mommy's lap, sucking on your lollipop while mommy was reading you a book. And then later when we sang happy birthday to you and you got all shy but then broke out into a big smile, all those memories are still so fresh in my mind, just as they always will be i hope. We had the bowling fundraiser on sunday and we had a good turnout of family and friends, and even some people who couldn't bowl just stopped by to say hi and make a donation so it was a great day for all. I hope you could see how much fun everyone had and that you know it was all for you my little man. You are always in our hearts, everyday Caleb, and you will be forever. I love you my sweet boy to the moon and back forever and ever. xoxoxoxoxoxo Hugs and kisses from your Gia

Hey little man, its time again for our monthly chat. Not too much new to say except I'm asking you to keep watching over Mommy and help make things happen for her. Send her some big hugs from you and Pop pop too....but then we could all use some of them everyday. I wish you could be here to see these cute little kittens we have, I know you would love them just like Emmy, Laney and Benny do. I bet you would be great with them too. I got some mail with a dime and a penny on it and I think it was a sign from you and pop pop the other day. But then everytime we find a penny we know you are letting us know you are thinking of us. I really miss you sweet boy but I hope you and Pop pop are together and having so much fun. I can picture him teaching you how to throw a ball and how to hold the mitt just right....using the clock numbers to tell you where to put it.....so many things he would have helped teach you but then I'm sure he is teaching you all that good stuff now. He was a great teacher especially when it came to sports or the outdoors so I know you are learning all the right stuff...I wish I had let him teach me more about all that stuff....Well buddy I have to get ready for work so i'll be back next month and until then remember I love you to the moon and back for always....xoxoxoxoxox Gia

Happy Birthday Caleb posted a condolence

Happy 7th Birthday my little man. I just can't believe it was 7 years ago today we were celebrating the birth of you, our very first grandchild and the apple of our eye. You were so very special and loved so much by all of us and you are missed more every day. We celebrated you at mass this morning and went to breakfast together. I hope you got the balloon Pop Pop and I sent up to you. It was very colorful and had trucks on it so i hope it came all the way up to heaven and found you. I'm sure you will get lots of visitors today because you are missed so very much. I put a new monkey by your stone for you cause the other one was in pretty bad shape so this one will keep you company for awhile till you need a new one again. Help us make the bowling fundraiser a huge success this weekend and hopefully everyone will have fun and we will raise some money for your foundation. I hope this day was special for you and i hope Great Grandma Ruth and Great Grandpa Russ had a big birthday party for you. I love you my little punkin pie and i miss you more than words can say. I'll talk to you again next week, but till then - remember I love you to the moon and back forever and ever. Hugs and kisses from your Gia.

Hey my little man.... It's funny I keep calling you that and yet you wouldn't be so little if you were still here now so I guess I would have to have a different name for you...but in my heart I guess you will always be my little man.....Time just seems to be going by so fast these days...it feels like all we do is work come home do stuff in the yard or the house and then before you know it we are back to work again. I miss you and pop pop a lot....Gia is still so sad cause such a big piece of my heart is missing. I hope you and pop pop spend a lot of time together. I think about you both every day and I wish so much you were still here...but then we all wish that. I ask you to continue watching over mommy and help her please. Send her a hug now and then so she knows you are still here with us. My friend had a bake sale for you yesterday and she raised over $1000 for your foundation. She really loves you even though she doesn't even know you and she wants to help the foundation any way she can. Hearing about you helped her to make her life better so she wants to be involved with calebs pennies whenever she can be. So see you are still touching peoples hearts after all these years and continuing to help families every day. That is why God sent you to your Mommy I guess...to be one of his helpers and you are. And as long as I have a breath left in me, I will be there right beside your mommy helping her in any way I can. You are such a special boy Caleb and i'm sure you are touching all the hearts of everyone you meet in heaven too. Well i'm gonna go to bed soon but I just didn't want this day to end without my letter to you. And even though it says tomorrows date, I really wrote this on our special day, as always. I'm sending big hugs and kisses to both you and Pop-Pop. Always remember I love you to the moon and back again my sweet boy...WE will talk again soon.....love you your Gia

Hey my Little Man, Here we are in September already, Fall is coming and summer is behind us again. I can't believe how fast this year has gone and we will be coming up to your birthday pretty soon. We have your bowling fundraiser coming up next month so hopefully we will raise a little money for you and Liz sold candles again and donated part of her sales to Pennies so we made some money there too. We keep thinking of more ways to raise money so we can have money coming in all year long to be able to keep helping more families. We keep looking for that one person or company to help us and one of these days we will find someone who will realize how important and special this foundation is and want to be a part of it. Uncle Herbie's friend Kevin is running a marathon in honor of you buddy and he is trying to raise $2000 for Pennies. It still just amazes me to see how many lives you touched with your beautiful loving spirit. Oh my little man, Gia misses you so much, sometimes I feel like my heart just has this big giant hole in it. Watching Emmy and Benny, I just try and picture how it would be if you were still here being the big cousin of the group and I just love that picture I see in my mind. But all your cousins will know you I promise you that. And they will love you just as if you were still here, the way we all do. Well my sweet man, until next time remember I love you to the moon and back forever. I even bought this sign that has that saying on it so everytime Pop and I look at it we think of you. Love you my angel. Hugs and Kisses from Gia

Hey little man, wow another month has gone by and here we are again....I know I say a lot of the same things each month but that is because my feelings never change and the pain is always still there. I think right now the pain I am feeling is for your mommy...she misses you so much and is so broken hearted especially now. I worry about her buddy and I wish I could do something to help her. I hope you can wrap your little angel wings around her and make her feel all the love you always held in your perfect little heart. She needs that now more than ever before. I am so confused right now and trying to understand that God has a plan for us all, but right now none of this is making any sense at all. I wish I could understand why bad things happen so often to good people???? I'm trying to hang on to my faith but I'm really struggling with it every day. Oh sweet boy please send big hugs to your mommy today. And can you tell pop pop to send some to me... Love u my man to the moon and back.......xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my sweet sunshine, Here we are in August already, I can't believe the summer will soon be over and fall will be here again. The time seems to go by so fast anymore, each day going by quicker than the last. Sometimes I wish I could just freeze the time but if I could, I would have done that before you left us. You have just been on my mind so much lately my little man. I've just been missing you so much and some days are still really tough. I hope you are happy and smiling down on mommy right now. She has finally found some happiness again in her life which has been hard for her to do since you've been gone. But Dan is a good man and he loves your mommy alot and will take good care of her. I think you would have really liked him too. He has come to know you from your mom, cause she talks about you all the time. He knows no one will ever take your place in her heart and he has been wonderful in helping us with your fundraisers and doing anything we need him to do. He is always so willing to help us in anyway he can when it comes to doing something for you. So just keep watching over your mom like you have been and help her keep smiling. I hope you feel my kisses at night when I say good night to you. I love going out on the porch and hearing the wind chimes singing or the pinwheel turning. I just so believe that is your way of communicating with me and it makes me feel so warm inside. Any little sign from you means so much and makes my day so much brighter. Well my punkin pie, i'm gonna say good night for now and I am hoping to stop and read you a book before work and spend a little time with you. I need to check on your flowers too cause I haven't watered them in a few days. Always remember I love you to the moon and back forever and always. I send hugs and kisses to you every day so watch for them okay. Remember you are in my thoughts and always in my heart, everyday. I love you my sweet sweet Caleb. Love hugs and lots and lots of kisses from your Gia. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey My Sweet Little Man, Another month has passed but still not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts at some point throughout the day. I know last month i asked you to send me some pennies cause i hadn't seen any lately, and right after i sent you my letter i began, once again finding pennies. I just found one on friday night when we were out with mommy and our friends from woodloch. We were all together and there right in the middle of the floor was a bright, brand new shiny penny just waiting to be picked up. I did pick it up and gave it to your mommy but i have found quite a few since last month. So thank you for sending them down. Emmy is here today and we are going to read you a book later on this afternoon. I show her your pictures so she will always remember who you are. I wish so much you would have gotten to meet her cause i think you two would have been best friends. I know you would have loved her and she is so much like you sweet little man it warms my heart and makes me feel you near us. You could have taught her and little Benny so many things but i truly believe that you are watching over them every day. And now you will have another baby cousin to watch over pretty soon. I wanted to come and see you today but the weather has been pretty crappy and raining really hard so if i don't get there, we will at least read to you. I will be stopping by later this week to water your flowers when it gets really hot. I wish you could see the tiny little birdies in the nest in my flowers on the porch. They are so little and they have the tiniest little heads. The momma bird comes to feed them all day long and i hope you can see them. I love looking out my window and seeing your pinwheel blowing especially when there is hardly any breeze. Really makes me feel you are here with us. I love you my little punkin pie to the moon and back forever and always. Remember the little rabbit Gia bought you for Easter and you use to push the hand and the music would play and you would dance and laugh, well now Emmy is standing here and doing the same thing. She loves this rabbit just like you did, it makes her laugh too. Well my sweet man, i have to go take care of some things so until next time you keep sending down those pennies to all of us and remember we all love and miss you soooooo much. I'll talk to you again real soon sweet little angel boy. xoxoxoxoxoxo Love, hugs and kisses from your Gia

Morning my sweet little man, I know this is a day later than i wanted to write this but i just never got the chance yesterday at work to get to my email. I'm glad i got to stop and read you a book in the morning on my way to work, but i wish i could have spent more time with you. So I wanted to take a few minutes and write you my letter as always, just a day late. But thoughts of you were in my mind and my heart all day long, just as memories of you are a part of my everyday. I share your story wtih so many people everyday in hopes of continuing to touch more lives. That is all we can do now to keep you with us, is share you and continue to help families. Helping them to spend time with their sick child like we were able to do with you is what is important, even though we didn't have as much time as we wanted. But this helps us go on, because we do it for you sweet angel. Mommy did a nice job planting your flowers and pop pop and I stop every few days to make sure they have water and help to try and keep it looking nice. We would love to get a nice bench to put there so when we come to visit we can sit and spend more time there. Pop and I are working on that for you. I love sitting on our front porch and listening to the chimes making the music like it use to when i would hold you up there to hit them each day. And when i see the pinwheel turning i feel your beautiful spirit in the air. That corner of our yard is all about you little man and makes us feel close to you. Well my punkin pie I will come and visit you again real soon and until then i will keep you close to my heart as always. I haven't found any pennies lately so if get a chance could you send me a few. They sure do help to lift my spirits when i find them. I think that goes for all of us and i continue to tell all the people i meet that when they find a penny to think of our sweet Caleb, so keep throwin them down for us. I love you my angel boy. Remember to the moon and back forever and ever, Gia loves loves loves her little man.

Hey my sweet little man, Another month has gone by and I wanted to write you my letter now in case i get home too late. It felt so good to stop and sit with you this morning and read you a story. I haven't been able to do that the last couple months because of work or weather so i was really happy it was such a beautiful day out today. Mommy did a beautiful job with your flowers and the block layout she did which makes everything look so nice. It just makes it look so much neater and you can see everything so much better now. I will stop and get you some fresh flowers to put in the silver vase when i can get to the store. By now you know how wonderful the fundraiser went. It was a beautiful weekend and the tricky tray was a huge success as always and we raised lots of money and the golf outing was another beautiful day, after a short mist in the morning but everyone had a wonderful time and we raised a little bit of money too. Now its the tough time of everything being done and the basement being empty the that down feeling i always get when everything is done and finished. But hopefully we will be able to continue to help families all year and that in itself will keep us going. I sat on the porch the other day and i was having a real tough day and i looked over and the pinwheel was spinning like crazy. As i got up to go inside it stopped yet when i came back out it started spinning again. The strangest part was there was no wind at all so i guess you were there with me at that moment. Although it made me cry harder, it was such a good happy feeling to know you were right there with me. I love to sit out there and listen to the wind chimes blow. It makes me feel like you are right there sitting with me and having a conversation. I wish i could show you the little birds nest with the baby blue tiny eggs in it right off our front porch in the squiggley tree. I keep checking on them but they are still eggs, no baby birdies yet. But i will keep checking on them and you can keep an eye on them too. Well my punkin pie, i have to go back to work and i have to finish some more thank you notes for mommy. I will come visit again soon and bring more books to read. Till then, remember . . . Gia loves you to the moon and back forever and always. Hugs and kisses xoxoxoxoxoxoxo from your Gia

Hey my sweet little man, Boy do i wish you were here right now to give me one of your big beautiful smiles and a real big hug cause i could sure use it, we all could. It is getting closer to the fundraiser and we are all a little stressed and tired and well you know how things can go when people get like that. We've all been working so hard putting this all together and there is still a lot to do and we are running out of time. Oh i know it will get done but it just puts added pressure on everyone because we just want everything to be perfect for you. Except that all is not perfect cause the one person that could make that possible isn't here with us and it feels sometimes like life is just falling apart one piece at a time. Happy seems to be so far away sometimes that i just can't find it anymore. But i don't want to be sad when i talk to you cause you are one of the bright spots in my life. I hope you can help us out with the weather this weekend sweet man cause we want this to be a great turnout. The more people that come, the more money we make and the more families we help, so hopefully it will be a beautiful sunny weekend and just perfect for you and what we want to accomplish. Things are tough right now but we just have to make them better. It sometimes gets real hard to sit here and wrap these baskets when i think about why i am doing them. When i came to see you on Easter, there was a little boy flying his kite there and all i could do was think how you should be here flying a kite and finding easter eggs and eating chocolate bunnies. It was hard to watch him cause all i could do was picture you running with that kite flying high in the air. It seems like sometimes all i do is think about you and wonder what you are doing or who you are with. I'm so tired of being sad and worrying about everyone here. If you could send me some of your strength and courage i would really appreciate it cause i have become such a weak person anymore. I hope you can see the great angel pennies we found and made into necklaces for us to wear. They are awesome and i can't wait to put mine on. Anything that will remind me of you is always so special. Well i better get back to wrapping baskets, cause i still have quite a few to do. Send us some sunshine this weekend little man and know we will be thinking about you. Hopefully you will give us a sign so we know you are here with us. I love you to the moon and back little man and i'm sending you special hugs and kisses tonight. Hope i will see you in my dreams when i close my eyes tonight. Love you forever and back, Gia. xoxoxoxoxo

Hey my sweet little man, Hi my sunshine and thanks for giving us a little bit of that today. The winter seems to be dragging on and it is so nice to see some sunshine for a change. Another month gone by, still seems impossible you have been gone this long but we keep going on. We have all been working really hard to get the fundraiser underway, collecting all the donations. Mommy and I have been putting baaskets together and as usual they look great. People have been very generous as always. It amazes me how people see your picture and remember you instantly and are so eager to give us a donation. Even people who have never met you seem happy to be a part of your cause. You are still touching many hearts little man every day as well as helping many struggling families. Sorry i didn't get to come read you a story today but i will later when i get home. The pub crawl we had last weekend was a success and we have another one Auntie Crystal is organizing in a couple weeks. I hope we can all get to that one and we hope to raise even more money at this one. Then it will be time for our big fundraiser, the tricky tray and I know you will be watching over us that day and helping us raise lots of money so we can help lots of sick children and their families. It makes my heart smile when i find one of your pennies especially when i need that little pick me up. Thank you for being with me when i went to the hospital, i could feel your strength when i was so scared. I wish i could be as brave as you were but it helps to know you are near. I love you to the moon and back my sweet little man and you are always in my heart. Always and forever. Love hugs and lots and lots of kisses from your Gia. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Love & Miss You, Gia & Pop Pop posted a condolence

Hey Our Sweet Little Man, How is it at all possible that it has been four years since we said goodbye to you our beautiful little angel boy. It feels like only yesterday that you were here pulling pop pops hair as he sat on the chair, or playing "hide closet hide closet" with Gia as we went through our bedtime ritual each night you stayed over. Oh Caleb the memories you left us are so beautiful and heartwarming, and make my heart smile, but they make me miss you that much more too. I so often think of the ways you made us laugh and I remember the love and joy you brought into our lives. You were just so very perfect and we loved you so very much. And yes we survived another year without you, but that doesn't mean our hearts have healed, because that will never happen. We have just learned how to cope and get through each day. And we give thanks for all the wonderful beautiful gifts you give us . . . .Emmy, Lil Ben, new loved ones in our lives. And the times you carry us through a tragedy or a life struggle. I know you helped me this last weekend, as scared as i was in the hospital, you gave me a little of your courage to hang onto. And because of you, Uncle Ry-Ry is now an EMT and wants to help others in honor of you. Because of you, so many wonderful things happen. We have been able to help so many people and will continue to do so for as long as we live. We are working so hard to make your fundraiser a success that it will enable us to help many more families. The pain is still right there Caleb, but just keep pushing us to keep going. This is all for you my sunshine. So when you see us at Mass this morning, know you are there with us, in our thoughts, in our prayers and always and forever in our hearts. Life goes on, but so does missing you, that will never stop. Remember little man, we love you to the moon and back forever and ever. I'll be looking for some extra pennies today special boy. Love, hugs and kisses from your Gia & Pop xoxoxoxoxo

Loving U Forever, Gia posted a condolence

Hey my sweet man, It's that time again when i get to sit down and talk to only you. This day every month is just for you. In fact i spent all day going around and trying to get donations for the tricky tray and sharing your story with people i don't even know. You were on my mind all day, my sweet sweet sunshine. I went to court with mommy again today, wish it could just be over so she can move on with her life just like daddy has moved on with his. There has been so much sadness and i just want your mommy to be happy again. Even though i know that a part of her will always be with you, she deserves to have some joy in her life again. I listened today to the cd mommy made for us with all your favorite songs on it. I could feel you sitting in my back seat just singing along just the way you use to when we were going somewhere. Those memories are so special to me and i think about them all the time. Thank you for helping baby Benjamin Caleb arrive safely two weeks ago. How special that Uncle Benny named him after you little man so that another part of you would still be here with us. I hope he has some of your special qualities too just like Emmy does, cause it does help us feel like a little piece of you is still with us. It amazes me how so many people remember you when i go to ask for a donation as soon as i show them your photo, they say oh yeah i remember him. So here we are again getting ready to start putting baskets together and preparing for your big fundraiser. Help us buddy to make it all work again so we can help lots of families in your name. That is what keeps us all going now, knowing that we are keeping your memory alive by helping sick children and their parents. So help us to continue to do that for as long as we can. Well my little man, I have to get ready to get some sleep. I have a long week of work ahead of me so until the next time, remember I love you to the moon and back forever. Lots of love, hugs and a million kisses from Gia. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Merry Christmas, Love Gia posted a condolence

Hey my special little man, Merry Christmas my sweet Caleb. I wanted to sit here while it is quiet before i go to bed and let you know you are most certainly on my mind as you have been all day. I keep thinking back to the few Christmases we had with you and the memories are still so visible. The one christmas party where santa wanted to give you a gift but you were afraid of him so you wouldn't go by him. But he pulled out a gatorade bottle and you ran over, grabbed it from him and ran over to me. And then Christmas Eve at your house when uncle benny was sick and you kept giving him hugs and uncle herbie was making elephant sounds and you just sat on the couch and laughed. You were just so easy to please and make happy, it still blows my mind when i think about it. Never have i seen a child who needed so little to make them happy and who laughed so much. Although I do think a huge part of you lives in your little cousin, Emmy cause everytime i hear her laugh or see her smile I see you my little man. She now shakes her head just like you use to do with pop pop and she bangs her head on the big ball just like you use to do with your daddy. And she acts just like you did when it comes to chance - gentle and wanting to feed him treats all the time.I swear there is a part of you living in her. Even her mom and dad see it too. For me it is a good thing cause it makes me feel like you are never far away. I can't say that the pain of losing you is gone, cause that will never happen. But sometimes having her around makes it just a little bit easier but only cause it is those times that i still feel you here. And i wonder if when this new baby comes to uncle benny if you will be a part of him or her too. They would be so blessed if that were to happen. That to me is such a gift, a part of you in each of my other grandbabies. Such a beautiful gift and tribute to you my sweet little man. Well I ask you to watch over this new little baby as he or she gets ready to come into this world and to always be their special angel too, just like you are emmys. Know we are thinking of you sweet boy on this Christmas Day and wishing so much you were here with us. Be with Mommy today, let her feel you in her heart like she always does and try and help her have a good Christmas, which is hard without you. Give Great Grandma Ruth and Great Grandpa Russ a big hug and kiss for me and tell them I miss them so very much. Remember always I love you to the moon and back forever. Merry Christmas my sunshine. Hugs and kisses from your Gia. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Happy Thanksgiving My little man, Just Gia checkin in to let you know i'm thinking about you and to tell you i love you and miss you much. I stopped by to read your book this morning and i wasn't going to come until tonight but for some reason i felt this need to stop before work. When i got out of the car your photo had blown over to where i had parked my car and i was so glad i stopped cause i wouldn't have found it at night. So thanks for giving me that little nudge to stop in there this morning. Liz is selling her angel candle just for your foundation and she gives us all the proceeds from the sales. She just sent us a real nice check for you which is so helpful for our families. We had our bowling fundraiser on halloween and we did pretty good with that one too and had lots of fun. It will soon be time to start collecting for our big tricky tray soon after the holidays are over so that will keep us all very busy when the time comes. Well my special angel we will be missing you tomorrow at our family dinner but we also will give special thanks for having you in our lives even though the time was much too short. You just taught us so much even though our hearts still ache every day without you. They say time heals the pain, but it doesn't ever really heal, you just learn how to go on somehow with life. But it isn't ever easy. Don't ever think for one minute that you are not in our thoughts and always in our hearts each and every day. We all love you little man and miss you more and more. But always remember . . . I love you to the moon and back for always. xoxoxoxo love, hugs and many kisses to you my punkin pie, love you, your Gia

Hey my special little man. I am so sorry i didn't get to write to you on monday but i want you to know you were in my thoughts all day long, just like always. We were celebrating your little cousin Emmy's first birthday. By the way, we found your penny on the couch just when we were going to sing happy birthday to her so we know you were there with us. She seems to look and act more and more like you everyday. Her eyes, her personality even her smile and good nature. I hope your next cousin has all these same wonderful qualities cause that would be awesome and quite amazing actually. We are getting ready for your bowling fundraiser this weekend, i hope we get a good turnout and we raise some money for you. But we just look at it to be a fun day for all who come like it was the last time. So hopefully next month i will be able to tell you what a great turnout it was. Pretty soon we will be getting ready for the holidays again and our hearts will still be sad cause you aren't with us but we will get through it like we somehow manage to do each year. And then we will be starting to gear up for your big fundraiser in may. We have to get out there and start putting up your flyers again. The year just seemed to go by so fast i can't believe it will be that time again so soon. Well my punkin pie, Gia has to go back to work now so until next time, remember I love you to the moon and back forever and ever. You'll always be my very special little man. I miss you my sunshine and love you bunches. xoxoxo your Gia

Birthday kisses from Gia posted a condolence

Happy 6th birthday my special little man. I can't believe you are 6 years old today. I just keep thinking about all the things we would be doing if you were here. I think we would be riding bikes all around the neighborhood and taking walks with chance. I would pick you up from the bus stop cause mom and dad might be working so pop and i would help them out and you would come here after school till mommy came home from work. (Of course, i would hav to fight your aunt Jessie for that special time cause she only lives up the road and she would want you to be with her too.) How much fun we would have if things were different. Today we went to the mass that was done in your name and then we went to breakfast and came back to gia and pops house for a little while. We gave mommy a stone with your name on it that she is going to put out at woodloch where everyone can see it and they will remember everytime they walk by it, just how special you are. Mommy didn't stay here too long, i think she just needed some time alone with her boy and then some time by herself. Sometimes we all need a little time to ourselves where we can just talk to you and think about how much we miss you. It was a tough day for all of us i think. The days just don't seem to get any easier especially special days like this. I hope you liked the stories today and i hope you got aunt jessie's balloons she sent up to you. She always picks special ones that she knows you would love. I hope you had a special day with grandma ruth and grandpa russ and that they gave you a big party cause every six year old should have a special birthday party. You have six pennies with you now to show everyone how old you are and some beautiful pictures that mommy and daddy put together for you. Well my little man, i will be back next week and remember, i love you to the moon and back forever. Happy birthday my punkin pie. Love hugs and kisses from your Gia. xoxoxo

Hey my little man, Another month has gone by and here i am writing you another letter. I hope you liked the book i stopped to read to you this morning on my way to work. When I got up this morning and saw what a beautiful day it was, it made me think of you immediately. This was the same kind of day as it was when you got your angel wings. Beautiful, sunny, warm and peaceful. There isn't much news here except uncle benny and aunt nicole got engaged. She would have loved you just like everyone else does and i think you would have thought she was pretty cool too. I know you're watching over your little cousin too who won't be here till maybe the new year. Uncle Ry-Ry is taking special classes to be able to help people and i am so proud of him. He told me you are one of the reasons he decided to do this, and that is just one more way that you have touched his life. I love that he is doing something that he really wants to do and i think he will be great at it. So maybe you can send him some pennies so he knows you're thinking of him too, I bet he would be real surprised. Pop pop and gia are going away tomorrow for a few days and we can't wait. It will be so nice to just be away from here for a little bit, we both need it. Mommy is doing okay, except she misses you so much, just like we all do, but then i'm sure you know that. Pop pop and i planted some new flowers for you the other day and tried to make it look pretty. I'm really angry that someone stole your football, i guess we will have to bring you another one this year if the giants win the superbowl again. We might need some help on this one though. Well I guess i will go to bed now, i have to work again tomorrow and i am pretty tired. So i will be by to see you when we get back from our little vacation and i will come and water your flowers too. I miss you my punkin pie and i love you all the way to the moon and back again. Pop pop does too. Keep sending us those pennies little man. Love, hugs and lots of kisses from Gia. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my special little man, time again for my letter to you just like every month. I'm at work so i snuck downstairs to do this cause i won't get home till late tonight. Wanted to let you now how well our bowling day went. It was a fun day for all and we even raised more money than we ever expected. We are hopefully going to have another one in the fall after school starts. Pop pop and uncle benny even won gift cards for their good scores. Anyway i think the next one will be an even better turnout cause this was so much fun people want to do it again and hopefully bring their friends. Remember how i asked you to send me some pennies last month, well this month i want to say thank you cause that next day i found two pennies in two different places. One while i was at the store and the other one when i went into work. I know they were from you and that makes me soooooo happy. Thanks so much for listening and giving me the signs that i needed from you. It really does help get through a tough day sometimes. I have talked to so many of the wonderful guests at the spa about you and it really touches my heart when they want to know more about your foundation. If we can keep sharing your story and keep reaching out then i know that will continue our goal of helping families with sick children. And we do it all for you little man. So you just keep sending me the special guests and i will continue to share your story and tell them what a special angel you are and we will continue to touch lives in memory of you. Well i have to go back to work, i may not get to come visit you tonight cause it will be late but if not i will read you a book when i get home cause i know you'll be listening just like you always do. I miss you my sunshine and as always remember, i love you to the moon and back forever and ever. Love, hugs and lots and lots of kisses from Your Gia

Hugs & Kisses from Gia posted a condolence

Good Morning Sunshine, It is a beautiful day out today especially after the storms we just had so i figured i would write to you before i start my day. Lots of stuff to do today but don't really want to do much of anything except come and visit you and just relax. We don't get to do much of that anymore with our work schedules. I met a guest at the spa who was really excited to hear about your foundation and said she wants to help us but i haven't heard anything yet. I hope she does cause that would mean we can get your name out there in another state and that is what we are hoping to do, is to involve other people in different places so we can continue to help lots of families. We are getting ready for another activity and although this one won't be a big money maker we are just hoping people come just to have some fun for the day. You would have loved it cause we will be bowling and doing some fun stuff for the kids. Trying to make the day involve lots of pennies, so send down some ideas for us. And I could sure use some pennies myself these days. Haven't seen many lately although i have heard our chimes playing a lot. In fact the other day i was sitting on the porch and i went around and hit them all making them sing just like you and i use to do everytime mommy and daddy dropped you off at Gia's house. . . . remember???? You use to love to hear the different sounds and now everytime i hear them i am reminded of all those mornings we would make them sing. In fact i hear them now as i am writing this letter to you and it makes me smile. I came across some old photots of you and sometimes they are so hard to look at, yet i don't know how we would make it without all those beautiful memories you helped us create. I honestly think that is what keeps us going sometimes. I just wish the sadness would get better, cause sometimes i feel like i can't breathe cause my heart feels so heavy. I know there is a pain there that will never truly go away, but i just wish it didn't hurt so bad. And i guess that is why we continue to work for your foundation cause knowing we are helping sick children in your name helps us keep you close to our hearts. That is the gift you left us, doing for others. This day is always filled with a mixture of emotions, sadness for losing you and happiness for celebrating the gift of Emmy. It is hard to beleive she is 9 months old today. Everytime i hear her laugh or see her beautiful disposition, I am reminded of you cause you certainly marked her with your incredible personality and you can see she loves everyone just like you did. That is a gift in itself. Well my sweet little man, I will see you later, when i come to read you a story and water your flowers. Remember Gia loves you to the moon and back forever and always. Be happy my precious angel and keep watch over your mommy please. She misses you so much. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo from your Gia

Hey my little man, Wow i can't believe a month has already gone by since i last wrote to you. It just seems like every day goes faster and faster anymore. Not a lot is different since last time, we are just trying to put together a family bowling day for friends and family to support your foundation and to allow families to spend some time together and have some fun. Hopefully it will be a good turnout and a happy time for all. So many people come out to support you in so many ways whether it is pennies from heaven or the cjr foundation. You are just a truly loved and special little guy, missed by so very many people. I hope you continue to watch over mommy and keep giving her your special signs, I know she needs them so much. We all do, but she really does. I talk about you all the time to so many guests i meet and though it has gotten easier, the pain is still just as deep as ever. But talking about you and the memories you gave us helps sometimes. Just hearing your name brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I guess that pain will just always be there. Your little cuz Emmy is 8 months old today, which is unbelievable. It is such a mixture of sadness and happiness at the same time. Happy cause she is just the cutest happiest little girl and reminds me so much of you and the way you always were, but then sad because i know how the two of you would be the best of friends if you were here and i hate that she won't get to know you even though i truly believe you are her little guardian angel watching over her. And now you'll have another little cousin to watch over in a few months so you will be a busy little man. Well i have to go to work, i am going to try and stop and read to you this morning and water your flowers cause it is really hot outside. Remember I love you to the moon and back always and forever. love hugs and lots and lots of kisses. Gia

Hey my little man, It's time again for our letter, just like every other month. We got to see your cousin Emmy this weekend. You would really love her and i know she would adore you. Every time i see her I tell her all about her special cousin who watches over her. I see your smile when she smiles and i hear your beautiful heart touching laugh when she laughs which just amazes me. She definitely has a sweet and gentle personality just like you which is what won people over as soon as they met you. And now you will have another cousin soon to watch over which i have to believe is another gift from God for us. Thanks for listening to me today when i came to visit you and i know you heard me when i saw the light go on. Some days are harder than others but i try and find some peace when i come to visit you. It's not always easy but it does usually help. I need to get some new books to read to you when i come next time. Please continue to watch over mommy, i know she still needs you around her, but then she always will. I think knowing you are there brings her a little bit of peace. Remember how much i love you sunshine, always to the moon and back. I hope you got the balloons and all the messages we sent you after the tricky tray. They were sent with so much love and i hope we can do that every year now. Well my special boy, Gia has to go do some work now so until next time i send all my hugs and kisses up to heaven just for you. Well you can share some with grandma ruth and grandpa russ too. Still waiting for some pennies from you so i will keep watching. Love you forever, xoxoxo Gia

Hey little man, Just thinking about you today and just wanted to say thank you for giving us such a beautiful weekend for your fundraisers. The weather was terrific and the turnout was just wonderful and made our first benefit so successful. We will be able to start helping families again real soon with the money we raised thanks to the generosity of all the contributors. But i still believe you had a hand in it which is what helped to make everything go so well. It still continues to amaze me how supportive people are when we show your photo or tell your story. I think you will be helping people for a very long time. Like we say "Every Penny Counts" and we will continue to collect those pennies for as long as people are willing to give them. I love you to the moon and back sweet boy. I hope you can send mommy some of your special hugs and kisses today. It's a tough day for her and i know she misses you so very much. Keep leaving us those pennies in all the unexpected places we find them cause they help to brighten our day so so much. Love, hugs and lots of kisses, Gia

Hey my little man, It's me again just letting you know you are on my mind alot today, not that every other day is any different but this day is always a little harder. This week will be a busy one with the tricky tray coming up and lots of work still to do but we will be ready. Knowing this is for you to keep helping others is what keeps us going. You just have to send us lots of people now to spend lots of money for these beautiful baskets that so many people have helped us put together. We had so much support from family, friends and the community, it is so overwhelming how many people remember your sweet face when we go around collecting donations. And they always have such beautiful things to say about you and about the wonderful work we are doing in memory of you. It is absolutely heartwarming. So you get all your little angel friends out there and tell them to send all their friends and loved ones out next sunday and help us get your new foundation started. One woman even keeps your photo on the visor in her car from when you sat in the little car at the derby they held. It really does touch our hearts to see how many people want to be a part of this whole experience. So my little sunshine, be with us next week and help us make this a big success for you. I know there are a lot of families just waiting for us to be able to help them spend more time with their sick child and that is why we are doing all of this work. I love you with all my heart forever, my sweet little man. Hugs hugs and lots of kisses from Gia. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey my little sunshine, Another month has gone by and as always when i woke up thoughts of you were the first thing on my mind especially on this day. It has been a cold dark long winter but now hopefully with the weather getting a little warmer, and the sun coming out a little more our spirits will start to get a little happier. I remember how much you always loved this weather and getting outside. I use to love watching you stand at the door saying "outside Gia, outside". You just loved going outside and it was always this time of year when we would go out and start to clean up the yard. I would pull weeds and fix the flowerbed and you would run up and down, back and forth in the driveway just having a great old time. And then we would walk to the little park and swing or run through the jungle gym and wait for pop pop to come home from work and pick us up. Gosh how i loved those days, but then i loved everyday with you. You just brought sunshine and happiness wherever you went and you always made me smile. I hope with the nicer weather it will help me to remember only the good times and happy memories of you. We are all getting ready for your fundraiser and as always people are being so kind and generous and for that we are so very grateful. Everywhere we go people remember you and are always so happy to be a part of your memory and want to help us keep those memories alive by helping other children and their families. You are still touching many hearts little man, and we will make sure you always do. I love you special boy and miss you everyday. I'll be thinking of you all day today. Remember, I will always love you to the moon and back forever and ever. xoxoxoxoxoxo Your Gia

Forever in my heart, xoxo Gia posted a condolence

Hey my sweet little man, How is it possible that 3 years has gone by without you here with us? How is it possible that we have survived this long without you? 3 years and still not a day goes by that you are not thought of or mentioned by someone because that is the mark you left on all of us, not just those of us who love you, but everyone you ever met. There is still this empty hole in our hearts and we all still feel our silent pain, but yes it is still there. I don't know if it will ever go away. Maybe the tears don't come as often but they are always there ready to burst like a damn at any time, but we have just learned how to hold them in a little longer now. It is that time of year now when we start working on your fund-raiser and collecting donations and it is amazing how many people remember you as soon as we walk in and mention your name. And amazing still how people just give from their hearts to help us keep your memory alive by helping other families. I guess you can see that things have changed alot here and though this foundation Mommy started is a new one, we are going to make it as successful as the old one so we can continue to help people in honor of you. And the new name fits you so well, Pennies From Heaven, because I especially know what pennies mean to you. Everyone I know tells me that, everytime they see a penny they think of you and pick it up. Now we know that there are always pennies being dropped everywhere, so just imagine how many times a day you are thought of with people picking up all those pennies you throw down. You are remembered with so much love my little man. I ask you to watch over Mommy and help her make your foundation bigger than before so we can help lots and lots of families. I hope you know too, my little sunshine that today of all days you will be thought of every minute that goes by and missed more than ever. Nothing is the same little man, everything has changed, but life has to go on and we are trying. It just doesn't seem like it will ever get easier, we just learn to adapt to life as it is. Well my sweet punkin pie, Gia sends you many hugs and kisses, so does your Pop-Pop and know you will be in our hearts all day today, as you are everyday and we will come and be with you later on. I miss you my sweet sweet special little man. And remember as always, I love you to the moon and back forever and ever. In your own words . . namanamanamanamorrow ....... xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Gia

Hey punkin pie, It just doesn't seem possible another month has passed without you and here i am again writing you another letter. We all managed to get through the holidays again this year, although they still are not easy and not the same. There will always be a part of us missing each year with you not here. Emmy did help us this year and it is so ironic how often I see so much of you in her. She has those same big brown eyes right now and her little smile reminds me of you and how happy you could always make even the saddest of times. There still is not a day that goes by that thoughts of you aren't in my mind and beautiful memories aren't in my heart, and that will never change. I hope you know my sweet little man that we will continue to do everything we can to keep the memory of you alive however we can because you were here for a special reason and I have to believe that God wants us to continue touching hearts through you, just like you did the minute you met someone. If i could make an impact on the lives of just a quarter of the people that you have, I will have lived a fulfilled life. You truly are our special little angel. You be happy my beautiful little Caleb, and help us to continue doing what you were so good at, making people smile and touching their lives. Remember, I love you to the moon and back forever and ever. Hugs and kisses little sunshine. XOXOXO Gia

Merry Christmas Our Sweet Little Man, We got through both family parties, Christmas Eve Mass and showing off Emmy to everyone over the last week and everything was great but I have to say even through it all, a piece of all of our hearts was missing. That piece that only belongs to you, our special boy. It is just so hard not to think of you all the time, especially this time of year. I keep wondering what would you be asking for this year. Some kind of sheen for sure and maybe some new little cars or maybe even a bike. Your last christmas you were more into the bubble wrap than the presents, although you did like uncle herbie and his elephant noises. So many memories and so little time with you, but the memories you left us will never ever fade away. Those will live on in our hearts forever and ever. I hope you have a special christmas and that Gram and Pop are taking good care of you. I hope your mommy can feel your angel kisses tonight when she lays her head on her pillow, cause i know she will only be thinking of you, the one true love in her life. Please watch over her little man, she needs you more than ever. You remember that Pop Pop and I love you to the moon and back forever and always. Merry Christmas punkin pie. I'll be thinking about you all day today and hopefully a random penny will appear and i will know you are thinking of us too. Everytime I hear one of our wind chimes chiming, I feel like you have stopped in to say "hello, i am here." What a beautiful sound that is to my ears. Well it is time to go for now, but i will be back next month. I will come and visit sometime today but until then, hugs and kisses from me to you. I love you my little man. XOXOXO from Gia & Pop Pop too.

Hey my little sunshine, I wanted to write before I have to go to work so I got up early so I could do just that. I am going to try and stop and read to you a little before I have to go in to work because it will be too late when i come home. Anyway I just want you to know I am thinking about you as always, but especially on this day. This is always a hard day for us, well for me anyway cause I just can't get past certain dates but at least now the day won't always hold such sadness because Emmy was born a month ago on this very day. Oh it doesn't mean the scars of losing you are gone, they never will be, but at least we can try and be a little happy and thankful for having her in our lives. I know she has a special little guardian angel in you and that you will be watching over her cause that is just the kind of big brother you would be. It is thanksgiving and we have much to be thankful for. Your mommy is okay even though we had a scare and they will keep an eye on her, Pop Pop had his surgery and seems to be doing better and we now have another baby in our lives to help brighten our dark days. But I am most thankful for the gift of you and for having the best 2 and 1/2 years with such a special little man who touched the hearts of every person you met. It is still hard to celebrate without you but I have to believe that you are right here with us every day. Please continue to watch over your mommy, and let her know especially, that you are with her. I am sure that will bring her some special comfort. And I hope you can make your daddy see the light and help him to do the right thing. You were such a joy in all our lives, I just wish he could remember that and remember why we started your special foundation. To keep your memory alive by helping others. I will be thinking of you all day, my little man and I hope you are celebrating this day of thanks tomorrow, just like we will be. You know that life is not the same without you but we are trying to find happiness in our hearts again. Thank you to all you gave us and continue to give us each and every day. Always remember we love you to the moon and back and thoughts of you are always in our hearts. We love you our very own punkin pie. With all our hugs and kisses and lots and lots of love. We miss you each and every day. XOXO love Gia and Pop Pop

Hey my little man, Seems like this month went by so fast, but it was a tough month, moreso than the others I think. I guess your birthday, everything going on with mommy and pop-pop and waiting for your little cousin Emmy to arrive, it has just been a little more emotional. I really feel like you are holding on to Emmy for us and I guess when it is the right time for her to come, then you will be ready to let her go. Thank you for watching over her and keeping her safe. I promise you, she will know what a special cousin you are to her and how precious you are to all of us. I want to come and read you a story today but i have to work all day and it depends on whether Emmy decides to make her entrance today, but if i don't get there i will come and read to you next week. Or maybe i will just take a book to work and read to you on my break. I know you hear me wherever i am. I miss you my sunshine and I know you are watching over your mommy and keeping her safe from harm. You just be with her please sweet boy, she needs to know you are there, i am sure that brings her comfort. I will write again next month on this special day but i will be thinking of you every day until then. Always remember you have a part of my heart that no one else will ever have and that i love you to the moon and back forever. Be happy my special little man. Hugs and kisses and lots and lots of love. XOXOXO Gia Thanks for all the pennies you leave me. They always make me smile, just the way you always use to.

Hey my sweet little man, I just wanted to say a big Happy Birthday to you on your 5th birthday today. I just can't believe that is how old you are already. I wish we could all celebrate together today but know we are together here celebrating you and how special you are and how much we love and miss you. Michele told me you said you are having a big party with Grandma and Grandpa Case and Big Pop pop Mitschele and that you are not a baby anymore but a big boy. To me you will always be my little man, no matter how old you get. I hope you have a special day today and we will all be thinking about you especially while we watch the giants game. I'll think of you in your little manning jersey we bought for you and you wore every sunday when the Giants played. Well sunshine, I love you to the moon and back. Happy Birthday sweet angel. xoxoxo Love you, Gia

Hey my little sunshine, It's me again and I just left you after reading you some books like i always do on this day but i wanted to send you a letter too, just like always to let you know you are on my mind all day today, and every other day. I tried to fix your pinwheel but it wouldn't work so i will bring you the one from my house so you can make it spin when i come to visit you. That always makes me feel that you know i am there and it always makes me smile. I can't believe your birthday is coming up next month and you will be five years old. You must be so big now but to me you will always be my little man. Gosh how i miss the way you could make me laugh and how your smile just lit up a room. What i would give to see that smile even in a dream. Caleb please watch over your mommy, she is going through a tough time right now but know how very much she loves you and will do anything for you and to keep your memory alive by helping others. Please help your daddy too, cause he needs it right now. He is very angry and hurtful and no one can help him, except him. We are having a party for your new baby cousin "Emmy". She will be here pretty soon and I know you will be watching over her to make sure she arrives safely. I promise she will know all about you, cause we will make sure of that. She is going to know what a special little cousin she has who lives in heaven but will always be there for her just like a big brother would be. Well my angel, i have to go back to work soon, but Gia just wanted to say hi and tell you how much i love you and miss you each and every day, even though i know you already know that. I need some pennies, it has been awhile. Please watch over pop pop this week when he goes in for his procedure and let him know you are with him holding his hand. (and you can keep me company in the waiting room too if you aren't too busy). I'll be back next month but remember until then I love you to the moon and back forever and ever. Be happy my sweet little man. Love hugs and bunches of kisses from me to you. Love you for always, your Gia.

Hey our sweet little man, Another month has passed without you and we just want you to know we are, as always, thinking of you everyday, especially on this day. A piece of sadness still touches our hearts on this day with all the memories but we are trying to remember more of the happy times not just the sad ones. We want to tell you thank you for watching over Aunt jessie the other night when she had her accident. We know you were there for her and keeping her safe from real harm. You truly are her little guardian angel and we are so grateful. We can't imagine losing her too, so tell Gram and all your angel friends thank you for keeping her safe. And please take care of joey for her, i am sure you two will get along just great. I think you must be very much alike that is why she named her after you. Lots of fun, always playing and being friends with everyone, yeah that pretty much describes you and I guess Joey too. So you have fun with her and take good care of her for your godmother. It will make her feel better knowing joey is with you and not all alone so maybe you can give aunt jessie a sign and let her know that so she will stop worrying about her so much. Well my little man, i want to come and read you a story before i go back to work so i better get going. We miss you our little sunshine and remember we love you all the way to the moon and back. Until next time, Love hugs and kisses xoxoxoxo Gia & Pop Pop Thank you for giving Michele signs to pray for us too. Those prayers must have really helped. Love you

Hey my little man, I want to send you big hugs and kisses and so many thank yous for watching over your Aunt Jessie last night and keeping her safe. I know you and Great Grandma Ruth were holding her in your arms and protecting her when her car rolled over and she was thrown onto the road. I truly believe in my heart that if it weren't for you, she wouldn't be here today. Mommy thinks you took her Joey (her kitten) instead and I agree, I think you needed a little pet of your own to play with and it sounds like you and Joey will get along just great. Please let aunt jessie know she is doing okay, and that you will take good care of her. But most of all, thank you little man for being a special guardian angel for me and watching over my little girl. I love you special boy. Love hugs and kisses, xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Love your Gia

My sweet Caleb, Well another month has passed and this month marks the time that you are now gone from us longer, than the time you were with us. This is a tough one especially cause there are still times that I have to remind myself that this is real. I am so sorry little man for all that is happening around us and for all the pain and sadness going on. You deserve so much more because you gave so much more. Each time I pass sheens I say "look at all the sheens K," just like i use to when we were riding in the car. Remember all those times and you would just laugh or say "Gia, Sheens, more Sheens." Or when i see a butterfly, I can still hear the cute little way you would say "Gia burrfy". So many little things that you would do that would bring a smile to my face. God how I miss those precious moments that only you could bring to our lives. I think that is what i miss most of all. That big beautiful smile and those deep brown eyes that had such a twinkle in them and everytime you looked into them it was like looking into your little old soul. And once again you make us smile by sending your special little cousin, Emmy to us and I know you will watch out for her just like you would watch out for any little brothers or sisters you may have. We will all make sure she knows who her special cousin Caleb is, I promise. Things have gotten really tough here buddy and I just hope you always know that you are so loved and so missed and I still see you in the sunshine in the morning and in the stars at night and every moment in between. I will say good night now little man, but remember you are thought of every day and those memories of the special little man you are will always be in my heart. In all our hearts. Remember Pop Pop and I love you all the way to the moon and back and we miss you even more. I still look for your signs, the pennies and now the beautiful sound of our chimes when you make them ring on a quiet day. I know you are here, but those signs you send us really help our hearts when they are hurting. So till next time all my hugs and kisses are coming to you every morning and every night. I love you my precious little man. xoxoxo Gia

Hey my little man, Another month has passed and here we are again, with me writing you a letter but wishing i could just give you a big hug and kiss instead. As i always say, i just keep hoping things will get a little easier and the pain will get a little less, but i am still waiting for that to happen and it hasn't as of yet. Still there are times that i just don't believe you are really gone and i keep waiting for you to run through my door or up my steps wanting to ring the wind chimes. In fact Pop and i wait and listen for the chimes on a still day to see if you will ring them for us. We just hung them at the new house so they are just waiting for someone to help them make some music just like you always use to do. Uncle Herbie and Aunt Jen are having a little girl, your own little cousin so i hope you can help her arrive safely and be her little guardian angel. She couldn't have anyone more special or loving to watch over her than you. I know you are trying to help mommy and daddy, pop and i wish you could tell us what we can do. Everyone is still so sad and it just seems to get a little harder every day, for most of us. Mommy has been keeping real busy with work and doing stuff for your foundation and people i meet at the lodge are constantly making contributions in honor of you. I hope one day i find the right person who will really be able to help us financially and we will be able to really help the foundation grow into something even bigger. All of this is done for you little man, to show just how truly special you were and still are to all of us. You are still touching lives now, every day. So many children are being helped because of you and that is really a legacy we hope to always carry on in your name. I hope you can continue to guide all of us and help us all to make the right choices in our lives. We miss you Caleb more than any of these words could ever tell you. But we all carry a piece of you in our hearts and we will forever. Always remember we love you to the moon and back forever, and not a day goes by that one of us is not sharing a thought or even a tear because of how much we love and miss you. Well we will talk soon my little man and Gia will be there to read to you later today. Hugs and many many kisses little sunshine, and as always namanamanamanamorrow!!!!!!!!!! Love you forever, Gia

Hey Sunshine, I am a little late writing this but I was talking to mommmy and pop pop and it got late but I still want to write my letter like I do every month. There is not much happening since your fundraiser, Gia is still trying to finish all the thank you notes to all the wonderful people who were so supportive and donated to the tricky tray. It just amazes me how you still are touching the hearts of people who never even met you, just by sharing your story and why we started the foundation. Everyone realizes just how important and meaningful this foundation really is, so it makes it easier for people to give when they know it will help, especially when children are involved. And that is what makes this cause so special. We have helped so many families because of you little man and the very precious special little guy you were. I wish everyone in the world could have gotten to know you like we did. We were so truly blessed by God when he sent you to us. I am still trying to figure out why he took you back so soon, but I guess I will never know that, at least not now anyway. I am trying to be more positive but the pain is just still so real and the ache inside never goes away. Like your mommy said, I don't think it gets easier, it gets harder, I truly believe that. There is not one day that has gone by that you are not thought about or talked about by any of us, it is just such a natural thing to do, talk about you and why you were so special. And that will never stop, you will always be our sunshine. I know it has been some time since you sent me a sign, and I sure could use one right now so just remember that okay. Those signs keep me going some days. Well my little man, I will go for now, until next month and I want you to always remember, I love you to the moon and back forever and ever. Hugs and kisses . . xoxoxoxoxoxoxo And I wish I could namanamanamanamorrow. I love you my sweet precious little man and I miss you more every single day. Keep smiling special boy and making people laugh. That was one of your best qualities, and one that we all miss the most. Good Night sweet Caleb. Gia Loves You Forever. . . .

Hey My Little Sunshine, I wanted to write you now cause tomorrow i will be working all day and won't have much time to get to the computer but i have so much to tell you. We had your fundraiser this weekend and it is so amazing how many people are there to support you and all we are doing for other families. You are still touching so many hearts and so many lives even since you've been gone. We had the tricky tray and the golf tournament and we raised almost $45,000 in your memory to be able to help other sick children and their families. I hope you were able to see all the people who came out to support your foundation even with the real bad weather. People just still love and miss you so much and it just is still so amazing to me when i see the turnout we had for both days. That money will really be able to help so many families, i hope that makes you proud. And i hope you could see the video Aunt Jessie did for you cause it just shows how truly special you really are. I miss that laugh so much and those big beautiful brown eyes that were full of life and love. Like your mom said, it doesn't seem to get easier, it seems to be getting harder because so many things make us think of you everyday.The hardest part is all the things we won't ever get to do with you or watch you do. I think that is the hardest part for your mom. Please keep watching over your mom and dad cause they need you more than ever. They have worked so hard on your foundation, you must be so proud of what they have done and who they are. And i guess you know you are having a cousin in the fall. I try to look at this little baby as a gift from you because that is just who you were. I hope you can watch over this little cousin and be sure he or she arrives safely and healthy. The only sad part is that you won't be here to teach him or her but i know you will be present in that baby's heart, just like you are in all of ours. I wish i could say time is healing but so far it is not. A piece of my heart is still missing and probably will be forever with you gone. Always remember I love you to the moon and back and i miss you more every day. You are always in my heart and in my thoughts. Thank you for watching over the fundraisers and for leading us to make them successful, cause without you, there would be no special events and no helping others. I love you my precious little man and don't you ever forget that. Keep giving me your little signs, sometimes that is what gets me through the day. I will try and come by later on today to read you some books. As always, namanamanamanamorrow Hugs and Kisses to the moon and back . . . .xoxo your Gia

Hey my little man, Here we are another month has passed and it still seems like yesterday. Next month i will be able to tell you all about your fundraisers and all the money we raised for all the children that your foundation is helping. Mommy has been working real hard on the baskets and her and daddy and aunt jessie and uncle benny have been putting the golf tournament together so you just have to give us the good weather just like last year so we get lots of people to come out and support this very special day. We do this all for you little man because we miss you so much and because this helps us to keep the specialness of you alive in all our hearts and the hearts of all the people you touched in your short years here. Gia needs you to help me this weekend punkin pie cause this retreat is going to be a tough one for me. My talk is mostly about you and i really need your strength to help me get through it okay, at least the real tough parts. Maybe you can just send me a penny somewhere along the way and i will know you are there with me. I hope you know that Gia and Pop Pop miss you every minute and that not a day goes by that you are not in our hearts or on our minds. Our hearts are still so empty caleb without you and we are still so sad. Maybe one day we will be able to smile again inside and outside but for now we are just still too sad and we miss you too much. I know you are trying to help your mommy and daddy and you just be there in their hearts too. Well i am gonna go home now and i will stop to see you on the way. I may not get to read tonight cause it is really dark and cold out but i will make it up to you next time. Okay. And always remember, my little man, we love you to the moon and back forever and ever. hugs and kisses, xoxoxoxo Gia and Pop-Pop namanamanamamorrow

Hey Little Man, Well here we are at the two year mark. It is just unbelievable to me to think that we said goodbye to you two years ago today. I just don't know how this can be possible. We are all going to mass for you this morning so i hope you can see us all together just for you and that somehow we will all feel your presence there with us. I found your penny the other night when i was going to bed and saying a prayer to you, i looked down and there it was right at that moment that i needed it the most, just like always. You still amaze me everyday and i still try and smile when things like that happen. I try and look up at the sky to let you know i get it. We started getting things together for your fundraiser already. People are still being generous even though things are so tough for everyone but because of you and the special little guy you are, people seem to dig a little deeper into their pockets to help us, knowing we are helping others in return. That is what makes this so important to us, because we are keeping your memory alive through this foundation. Please help us to continue to touch lives through you and to help families get through the toughest times in their lives. I will come and see you later on today, hopefully your pop - pop and i can come together. I will try and find a new book to read to you. Maybe i will borrow one from the fundraiser that someone donated just so we have something different this time since it is such a milestone for all of us. Two years without you has been like daytime without sunlight and nighttime without stars. It is like knowing that even when you are trying to be happy and laugh, that there is still a big part of you that's missing. I guess that is how it will always feel until we see you again. Well my little man, Gia has to go get some sleep, it has been a tough few days and i still have a few real tough ones to get through. Please let me know you are here with me and give Gr. Grandma Ruth and Gr. Grandpa Russ a big hug and a great big kiss and tell them how much i miss them too. But most of all, as always, remember we love you to the moon and back forever and ever. We miss you our most special little man. Hugs and kisses and little bits of love to you punkin pie. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Gia & Pop-Pop namanamanamanamorrow Caleb

Hey my little man, I have been thinking about you all day today, not that that is any different than any other day but this day always seems to be tougher than the others. I know next month will be the worst because i still can't believe some days that you are really gone and here it will be two years. I don't know how this is possible that we have been without you for this long, i really don't. I wish i could say the pain has lessened but it hasn't, in fact some days it is even harder than ever. I just don't know if things will ever be right again for any of us. I just keep thinking about you and what you would look like now and how big you would be and everytime i unpack those cute little socks or the animals in the boutique, i see you and realize i would have bought some of this stuff for you and how much you would have loved it. I did put Spunky the monkey with you and even though he is frozen in the ground right now, he is there to keep you company and watch over you. He is the monkey you said you really liked in my boutique. I can't believe that we are getting ready to start your fundraiser again already. A whole year is almost passed since we did it and you have helped so many people it is incredible. So you see my little punkin pie you are still very much here with us and with so many others. It is because of you that so many families are being helped and mommys and daddys are able to spend more time with their sick children. What a special boy God must have thought you were to make you such a special important angel in this world. Because of you we are able to give so much back to others. I wish i could say that the days are getting easier but i won't lie. There is not a day that goes by that you aren't in our hearts 100%. I hope you hear me say good morning and good night as i pass by you everyday. I try to stop as often as i can, sometimes it is just really hard but thoughts of you are never far from my mind or my heart. Please keep watching over your mommy and daddy my little man. They hurt so much even though they always seem to be so strong. They still need you near them. Well punkin, i am gonna go for now. I will come and see you later today and we will read our books just like always even though it is pretty cold out there. I won't let you down, promise. I miss you Caleb and always remember, I will love you forever to the moon and back. And so does your pop-pop. You keep sending me those pennies to remind me you are still with us. That is the one thing that can make me smile. Love and big bunches of hugs, xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Gia

Well our special little man, we wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and to let you know you are in our thoughts and as always in our hearts this most special day of the year. And although this time of year is always my favorite, this year was the hardest year i have ever had. The spirit was truly not there and it seemed like everyone got on each others nerves very easily. I think we were all having a hard time without you this year even moreso than last year if that is even possible. You would have just been so into the whole thing this year, yelling i want that i want that, just like your mom and all your aunts and uncles use to do when they were little. It is so funny when i look at certain children and see how spoiled and bratty they are and i just could never believe you would have ever been like that. Spoiled yes, but with love not things and we would have not allowed you to be a brat, cause you were just too much of a sweetheart to be anything else. I just hope you know that you were so loved and are still so missed. The days don't get any easier, the missing you doesn't get any less and the pain of you being gone still hasn't gone away. It never will. I know you were giving Michelle signs about the angels, please keep giving her those signs so she can help us understand what it is you want us to do. She thinks you are a very special little man too and that you were here for a very special purpose for God. I know you will always live on in the hearts of those who loved you and also in the hearts of all those people you are still helping with your foundation. We want this to go on for a very long time, because that will keep you alive in our hearts, so any kind of help you can give us would be wonderful. Any ideas, you just let michelle know and she will let me know. Well my little man, i just want you to know how much your pop-pop and Gia miss you each and every day. I wish you a christmas filled with lots of good things and lots of love from Great grandma and great grandpa. I know they are taking good care of you. Give them big hugs and kisses for me too. Always remember we love you to the moon and back and you will live in our hearts forever.

Hey my little man, Another month has passed and yet it is not getting any easier when i think of you being gone. With the upcoming holidays it seems to be even harder without you here. I stop in to check on you and Spunky and make sure he is watching over you and keep hoping i will find some peace but it hasn't come yet. I know you are only a little guy, but your mommy and daddy need you to guide them back to each other or at least to help then through this really difficult time. None of our hearts will ever be the same again but i hope someday they won't be so heavy with hurt and pain. My wish is that someday I will just remember all the good things and good times and not the ones that tear at my heartstrings every day. I finally get to have all of my family together for Thanksgiving this year, except for the one special little guy who could make us all laugh and smile just by walking into the room. You will be in all of our thoughts, prayers and always in our hearts. It won't be the same without you there but know we will all be missing you and i am sure thinking about you all day long. Just like everyday. I Love you to the moon and back my special little man and you will always be our sunshine by day and our stars by night. Gia misses you more than words can say and i think of you every night and day. Happy Thanksgiving with Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Russ. I send you all big hugs and kisses. Be happy little man and know that Gia is always looking for signs. Pennies, balloons whatever i can find. Love you bunches and bunches . . .. namanamanamamorrow Love you Always, Gia

Hey my little man, Even though I just wrote to you on your birthday, I still wanted to keep up my special letters to you on this day of the month just like always. I wish I could have spent more time with you this morning, reading to you but I had a long day of work and when I stopped by after work tonight it was late and raining and so messy that I just decided I would come back again with some more books when it is a nicer day and I can spend more time with you and not have to be rushed. I think I will come and spend some time with you on my birthday next week, just you and me time. That will be my best present, just time with my favorite little man. I thought about you all day today, and I still remember how hard it was to leave you 20 months ago, and still can't believe we have been without you for this long. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday and other times it feels like you have been gone forever. Some days it is hard to think about the pain of letting you go so I try not to think at all. I think the hardest part for me is all the things we will never get to do with you. I drove past the furniture store yesterday and wished so much that I had taken you in there because it is a store filled with all different kinds of bears and i know how much you would have loved it. But now every time i pass there I think of you. Well my punkin pie, I need to go get some sleep, another long day tomorrow. Remember I love you to the moon and back forever and always. You are my sunshine in the day and the stars in my sky at night. I look for you every night when I come out of work and there you are, shining brighter than any other star in the sky. I love you my little man. xoxoxoxo, Love Hugs and Kisses from your Gia

Hey my little man, Well four years ago we were sitting at the hospital, anxiously awaiting your arrival, and here we are today still grieving and hurting from not having you here anymore. Sometimes life just doesn't make sense or seem fair. But even though you are not physically here, we will all still be celebrating your special day in our hearts all day long. There were so many things that came into my gift shop this week that had your name written all over them, and all i could think of was how much money i would have spent because so many things reminded me of you. Four, this is the year you would have really understood what a birthday meant and you would have probably had your birthday wish list all ready and we probably would have all spoiled you like crazy just because we could have. I am bringing you the monkey for your birthday today from my gift shop that you told me you loved so i hope he will make you happy and bring you comfort. His name is spunky and he will watch over you just like mr. bear watches over your mom and helps to bring her comfort also. Nothing takes away the emptiness or pain but sometimes a little comfort does help. Well my little man I want to wish you a happy 4th birthday and want you to know how very much I wish, we all wish you were still here with us. Life if just not the same and the sunshine in our lives is not quite as bright as it use to be. Always remember, I love you to the moon and back forever and always. Great Grandma will give you lots of hugs and kisses from all of us here. She is real good at that, so is your Great Grandpa. You have a special birthday little man and know you are in my thoughts and in my heart all day long. namanamanamnamorrow Love, Hugs and Kisses from Your Gia

Hey my special little man, Nineteen months have gone by now without you, but it feels like it was just yesterday that we were playing "hide closet, Gia, hide closet" at bedtime and Mr. Bear and I would try and find you. Everytime I think of our special game it makes me smile just to think about the sound of your laughter when Bear and I would open the door to find you sitting on that paint can and then you would want to play all over again.What I wouldn't give to do it just one more time. Or to have you slam my closet door when I would go in to get my clothes and I would hear your laughter as I shouted "let me out, let me out". Oh how you made me smile on the inside and out, just like you did with everyone you met. What a special little boy you were and how very much you are missed every day. It's funny, they say when you see a penny on the ground, it means someone you love is throwing it down from heaven to let you know they are thinking about you and today when I was walking into work, I said I wish I would find a penny. About an hour later, at work my bag fell off the chair and guess what I found on the floor -- yep a penny. So thank you cause I am taking that as a sign from you, just like I try and take so many things in my life in that way. It is the only thing that helps me to get through some really sad painful days. Please send some xtra hugs to your mommy and daddy, I think they both need them really badly right now. Your leaving has left a pretty big hole in all of our lives, but especially theirs. So you try and keep watch over them little man and tell great grandpa that I am counting on him to be your Mommy's guiding spirit and watch over her like he told me he would do. Well my punkin pie, Gia has to go back to work but I wanted to send you my special message on this day that I dread every month. The memories still haunt me but I am trying to remember all the joy and happiness and love you brought into this world. That same love and joy we will continue to share with all the people we can help through your foundation. I will stop and see you later on tonight. Until then, little man, remember Gia loves you to the moon and all the way back. Hugs and Kisses xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Loving you always, your Gia namanamanamanamorrow precious boy

hey Little Man, It's Gia again, I am a little late in writing tonight but I didn't get the chance to do it this morning so even though it is late I just wanted to tell you I am thinking of you, as always and to let you know how much I still miss you. Every day that goes by makes me miss you even more. I keep waiting for it to get a little easier, but that hasn't happened yet. My heart still hurts and I wish so much I could hear your little voice call me Gia one more time. Or just to see that beautiful smile or hear that special laughter you had would give me some peace. I know you are around but I guess I just want to feel you more. I hope you are making your great grandma and great grandpa laugh, cause I know they are taking real good care of you. GiGi Ruth must be so happy cause she just loves little ones. And Pop Pop Russ, well I know you are special to him cause your mommy was his little princess, so I know he is watching over you all the time. I miss you my little man and You are in my thoughts and my prayers every day, I hope you know that. Please keep sending me little signs to know you are okay, cause they do help, although they don't take away the pain of not having you here. Always remember Pop Pop sends his hugs and kisses too. You be happy my sweet little angel boy and watch over your mommy and daddy and help them to get through these tough times together. Help them to remember how much love you brought into their lives. I still can't believe we have gone on without you for 18 months now, it still does not feel real to me and probably never will. But I will do everything I can to keep your memory alive, no matter what it takes. I love you my special little man, to the moon and back, don't ever forget that. You will always be Gia's sunshine and my punkin pie. Hugs and kisses, as always, from your "Gia". xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo namanamanamorrow! love you

Hey my little man, It is just me, Gia again, as always on this significant day. I just want you to know you will be in my thoughts all day, just like always but even moreso today because it is your anniversary of receiving your angel wings from God. My friend Michelle told me that your Great Grandpa is taking care of you and also watching over your mommy. He said he will be her guiding spitit so that helps a little bit to know that she is being watched over by someone who loves her so much. I just bet he is loving you to pieces cause he always adored his little grandsons and especially now that he finally got to meet you. I am still trying to find a little bit of peace in my life but it is still a struggle every day without you here to make me laugh or even smile. I think you took a lot of those with you, so i still am trying to find them. But the main thing is that you are happy and that you know we didn't leave you and how sad we all are without you here. We all try and keep real busy so the pain doesn't hurt so much but passing by you twice every day is really hard. I hope you can feel the love that come with my kisses I send to you as I pass by each morning and night. The hurt will always be there but I am trying to understand that you came here to help others learn certain lessons and to create something that would continually help others, which is why your mommy and daddy started your foundation. I know this will help a lot of little children and it is all because of the love you had for life and for everyone you met. So I hope everyday to feel your smile, i look for it in a butterfly or when there is a gentle breeze blowing outside or even when a little moth flies around me. I am hoping that is you just stopping by to say hello. I look for you in every sheen i pass and in all your favorite songs i hear on the radio. We all need these little messages from you in order to help us to go on. So please continue to send them to all of us and to know that not a day goes by that you are not thought of with so much love but also sadness because you are not with us. Always remember I love you to the moon and back and I miss you more than any words can ever say. I pray with all my heart that one day I will see you again my sweet little punkin pie, but most of all I pray that you will remember your Gia who loves you so very much and until then, keep smiling and making all those angels laugh. With all my hugs, love and tons of tears from missing you so much. xoxoxoxo Your Gia

Hey my little man, Another month has passed without you and yet the tears still fall and our hearts still hurt just as though this all happened only yesterday. And now that I have to pass by you everyday, well i just never realized how truly difficult that would be. I hope you catch all the kisses I send you as I pass by you on my way to and from work. I wish I could stop by everyday and see you but I am just not there yet. It still hurts too much, although I don't think that will ever go away. I will be there later today though for our special monthly storytime. I look forward to coming and reading to you from our special books. It is just our time that we don't have to share with anyone else. The special time that I just always thought we would never run out of, at least not so soon anyway. So all the stories I had saved for you I will continue to share them on this day each month for as long as I am able to do so. We raised more money with the help of aunt Jessie's friends last month and then your cousin Ronnie did some fundraisers with her class and raised more money for your foundation. Even one of uncle Benny's friends donated a lot of money just because of how special you are and because of all these wonderful generous caring people, your mom and dad can continue to help other families get to spend time with their sick little children. That just shows how special you are to so many peole that they still want to give in your name just to help us keep your memory alive by helping other families. What an honor and what a gift you were to all of us and to all of those your little heart touched and continues to touch each and every day. I know you sent us the sunshine on those few days like the day of the bar crawl in Phili, and the 5K Hope Cures Run at woodloch and even at Brian and Maleesa's wedding. You let the sun shine just when we needed it. I know you are still here by these little things that continue to happen and it helps for awhile, but it still can't take away this emptiness or fill the hole in our hearts. Nothing will ever be able to do that I don't think. So we just go on one day at a time and just hope that one day, thoughts of you will bring more smiles than tears. Well my little punkin pie, I will see you later on today and always remember, you are still our only sunshine and I love you to the moon and back again forever and always. And like always, namanamanamorrow Love, hugs and all the kisses in the world to you my precious little man, from your Gia. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey Angel boy, It's me again, Gia. Another monthly anniversary is here and I can't believe it is 15 months now that we have been without you which still seems impossible. I still haven't washed the sliding glass windows at the old house because I don't want to lose your little fingerprints. Until we sell that house, those little hand prints will stay on those windows just to have a memory of you that I can actually visualize when I go over there. This was a tough day, I just couldn't stop thinking about you all day and it was tougher cause I can't really share it with anyone. Everyone seems to handle losing you in their own way but I hope one day we will be able to share it together, cause I hate not being able to do that. We shared so much of you when you were here but now I guess it is just different for everyone. We all hurt in different ways and for me, I just miss the way you could brighten up any situation with just that beautiful smile. God I could use one of those big bright smiles and the sound of your laughter right now more than you know. Things just seem to be getting tougher for us, not easier and missing you so much just makes everything so much harder to handle. I keep thinking you should be here helping me in the yard while mommy is at work and everytime I walk in the sunroom I picture you standing there looking out the window just like we use to talk about. And you should be watching daddy on his sheen and singing with mommy while you both play your guitars and pulling pop-pops hair. And now all your aunts and uncles are back so you would have had plenty of time to spend with them. Now we only have the memories and all the pictures, but you are still everywhere. You are certainly a very loved and special little boy who is missed more everyday that goes by. Everytime I look at Jersey, I think about how much you two would have loved each other and had so much fun together. She has the same kind of energy and those big brown eyes just like you did. The two of you together would have really made your mommy crazy, just trying to keep up with both of you. But I tell her all about you everytime she is here for a visit. Well my little man I guess it is time to say goodnight. I just wanted you to know I remember what today is, I always will, and I will write to you every month on this day just so you know I am thinking about you. I will see you later on today after mass, and I will read to you from our grandma read to me book. Remember I love you to the moon and back again. For always and forever. Hugs and Kisses to you my precious Caleb. ((((((((())))))))))))) xoxoxoxoxoxox Loving you lots and missing you more, your Gia

Hey my little man, It is that time of the month when I sit here and write you a letter to let you know how much I miss you and how I think of you every day. I could write you one everyday but i save it for your anniversary which is 14 months today. I keep asking God "how is it possible that our precious little man has been gone for this long and we are still able to get up in the morning and face the day"? But then I realize that some days it is really hard to do just that, face the day without you. People keep saying time gets easier and makes it less painful but so far that has not happened. I want to say thank you for the beautiful weather this weekend. I know you had your hand in that one cause they were calling for rain both days. And the turnout for both events was incredible and we made so much money to be able to give back to other families in need in memory and honor of you that it just makes our hearts so happy just to be able to keep your memory alive through giving back to others. And I truly believe that you are sending your mom a message by her winning your basket, I don't know what it is, but I truly believe there is a message there somewhere. And you would have been so proud of your mom at the golf outing and how she handled everything. She got emotional when she tried to talk about you but she still was able to get through the whole thing and made such a tribute to you. Pop Pop and I were so proud of her for the way she handled it all. Her and your Daddy too. I so admire her strength but it was good to see here share some of her emotions and feelings with all the people that were there because they love you and because they also care so much about your mommy and daddy. I know you were there with her when she got up to talk and you helped get her through it. Aunt Jessie put together such a wonderful video that showed everyone just how special you truly are and how infectious our laughter and your smile are to all who meet you. There is still not a day that goes by that my heart is not filled with thoughts and love for you and I seem to miss you more with every day that passes. I wish I could say it is getting easier, but it is not. I miss you more everyday and I just pray that soon I will be able to think of you and just remember all the times you made me laugh and maybe then I won't cry so much. I just don't think that will happen for awhile. But I am trying my little punkin pie, but I miss you so very much. So many times I sit here with Pop Pop and think about how we were so excited to live so close to you and how your mom could just drop you off whenever and how cool it would be to walk with you and chancey. It is all those things I truly miss. The things we never got to do together. I hope you know how much you are truly missed little man and always remember I love you to the moon and back forever. Hugs ((((((((((()))))))))))) & Kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and bunches of love from your Gia and Pop Pop. Be happy our precious little man and continue to light up the heavens with your smile and the nights with your shining stars. We love and miss you more than words can ever say. namanamanamamorrow

Hey my little sunshine, It is so hard to believe we have passed that dreaded one year mark but we did and we are all still hangin on, but things haven't changed much. We all still miss you more with each day, our hearts are still broken and all of our lives have been changed forever. I am still trying to find the answers as to why tho i know i never will, but i hope somehow, someway God will give me an answer someday. Maybe then I could find some peace within and some hope. Right now working on your fundraiser and knowing that we are going to help other children, well that is what keeps us going. We already helped a little girl right here in our own town in your name. So see little man, you are still touching lives every day in so many different ways. I ask you to keep an extra eye on your pop-pop, cause he is having a hard time right now and boy do i wish you were here to make him laugh like you did. If only he could feel those little fingers pulling his hair, or hear that little laugh as you mimmicked him. We were watching some videos yesterday and it amazes me how much you just loved life. Every video showed a side of you that just made people love you and want to be with you. Your love for life is so evident when we watch those videos and even tho it is so hard to do, I thank God that we took so many, because that is all we have now. Maybe someday the sadness will be a little lighter and the emptiness will be a little more filled and the missing of your beautiful smile and your contagious laugh will be more remembered with laughter and good memories rather than with so much sadness and tears. That is my hope for the future. Oh we will never stop loving you or missing you with every fiber of our beings, but maybe just maybe the pain will get a little less painful and the sun will shine a little brighter and when i hear the laughter of a little boy, i will think of you and smile and not cry. I hope one day I will learn to love and appreciate life as you did. Well my little man, it is time to say good bye for now but always remember you are in our hearts and our prayers and our thoughts every day. I will always love you to the moon and back my precious punkin pie. And thanks for helping me find my thank you stone that i couldn't find the other night. Sweet dreams little man.

Hey my little punkin pie, A year ago today we had to say goodbye to you and it was the hardest goodbye ever. I still can't believe we have gotten through a whole year without you but somehow we managed to do that, but you know that not a minute goes by without someone thinking of you. You have touched more hearts in your two little years than most of us will touch in a lifetime, and you are still touching lives even now. That will never change because we will never truly let you go. We will all keep your memory alive in our hearts and will always share you with others. I hope you can be proud of what we are all trying to do in honor of you and the most special little man that you were. Because of you, we will help other little children and their families. Not everyone was as lucky as you to have so many people love and care about them so much. So I hope that you can see all we are doing just for you. We love you our sweet precious little man and our lives are so much emptier without you here. We think about you everyday and miss you more than words can say. Always remember, we love you all the way to the moon and back again and we send you big hugs and kisses every morning and every night. Be happy our beautiful little Caleb and make everyone smile and laugh just like you did when you were with us. (((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) and kisses from your Gia and Pop Pop God Bless our little Caleb Joseph.

Hey my sweet little man, I was going to write you a message all day but I just couldn't find the right words. I still can't but I just can't seem to sleep so I decided to come out here and just let you know you are on my mind as you always are and to tell you how much i miss you and love you. All i can think about is how a year ago we were holding a vigil at your bedside believing with all my heart you would be okay. But God had different plans for you and although i can't understand them, I just pray that he is taking good care of you. I hope you can see how many hearts you are still touching every day and how many families are going to benefit from the love and laughter of just one special little boy. Your foundation is going to help so many people because it gets bigger each day and we are going to continue to make it one of the biggest ever. That is going to be our way of keeping you alive in our hearts. People are giving so generously because of you, because they see what a special little man you were to us and still are. You are our most blessed gift Our sweet little Caleb and I know that even though it is a lot darker down here, heaven must be lit up like a bright light with that beautiful smile and that infectious laughter you have. I am so jealous of those who now get to enjoy all your special gifts. I love you my precious little man and i hold you tightly in a special place in my heart that will always only belong to just you. To the moon and back, I love you forever. Your Gia

Hey Little Man, Another month has passed without you here and yet it still just doesn't feel like this can be real. I don't know how we have gotten through eleven months without you, but with faith, hope, love and the memories we all hold in our hearts for you, I guess that is what gets us through each difficult day. And now starting to work on your fundraiser so your mommy and daddy can give to other sick little children and their families and help them in whatever way they need, and to do it in honor of you, so that we can keep the memory of our sweet Caleb alive forever, well that will keep us all real busy and hopefully will help us to focus on all the joy and happiness you brought into our lives, and not the sadness and pain we feel everyday. I miss you my little man, every minute of every day. Your laugh, your smile, those beautiful big brown eyes and most of all your sweet sweet hugs and kisses. Everytime I pass big machines, I still say "Look at those sheens buddy", just as though you were still sitting in my back seat. Or when I hear one of your favorite songs, i picture you with that great big smile you would get on your little face. There are very few things in this world that don't make me think of you, because you are everywhere i look, and it will be like that forever. God Bless you my special little man.

Hey my precious little man. I couldn't wait for 2007 to be over, and yet now it is and I realize that this year, 2008 will be our first year without you, and that makes me miss you even more. I just want you to know how much we all miss you and that not a day goes by without hundreds of thoughts of you going through our minds. I feel like you are everywhere, but still i can't find peace yet. The sadness is still like a heavy weight on my heart. I pray that you can help us all heal somehow with all the memories we all hold in our hearts, but know we will never forget you and no one will ever take your place ever. There will always and forever only be one Caleb in our lives. And we will keep your memory alive by trying to help others, in your name and in honor of the special little man you were to us. So this year, 2008 is for you sweet man, and I hope we can share with others, all the beautiful gifts you shared with us in the too short of time we had you here. I love you my punkin pie. Happy New Year! And remember, Gia loves you to the moon and back for ever.

My sweet little angel Caleb, Today was probably the one of the hardest days without you. Watching your mom and dad and aunts and uncles open their gifts, well it just wasn't the same without you. All I could remember was last Christmas Eve and how funny you were. Sitting on the couch with uncle herbie and him making elephant noises, uncle benny being sick yet you couldn't stop kissing him, stepping on the bubble wrap all night, watching you watch the train go around and around and never touching it. There are just so many beautiful memories of you yet I wish there were so many more. I just wish we had you longer, yet I look at the impact you had on so many lives. Your mommy and daddy gave pop-pop and I the most beautiful gift tonight. It is a planter with a picture of you on it and it says I miss you Gia and Pop-pop and will be my most favorite gift in the whole world, for so many reasons. You know what they are my sweet little man. I miss you more every day that goes by my sweet angel, and Gia is trying to be happy and smile, really i am but my heart just isn't there yet. I just miss you too much still. One day I will be there, I promise. But for now I just want to tell you how very much I love you and miss you. I hope you have the best Christmas my special man. Remember, I love you forever to the moon and back. Merry Christmas my sweet christmas angel. Hugs(((((((((Caleb)))))))))) and Kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Loving u for always, Your Gia

Hey my sweet little punkin pie, Another whole month has passed since my last note to you which is unbelievable. I keep thinking each day will be a little easier but it seems to be getting harder. Pop-Pop and I moved into our house, the one that you were supposed to be a big part of and every time I walk into the kitchen, I see you sitting at my counter or looking out the sunroom window for all the animals we use to talk about. I found another gatorade bottle hidden in my closet at home when I was packing and I even found more of the little stones you use to hide in the couch cushions that use to make me laugh so much. Now I try to just smile with the memory of how sweet your face was when you hid them and tried to pretend I didn't see you. You really were such a funny little man. I hope you make everyone up in heaven laugh, the way you made us all laugh. In fact when I come to see you each time, that is the same smile I see on your beautiful stone. It almost makes me feel like I can feel your sweet little face in my hand. Thank you for all the little signs you give me, I will always look for them every day. They mean so much to me and help me to feel you are still here with us. Well my sweet little man I will come and see you later today and read you another story from our special book just like always. Remember, I love you to the moon and back and that is forever. It was just a year ago this week that you called me Gia for the very first time. I will hold that memory in my heart just like I will hold you in my heart for always. Love you and miss you more every day. Hugs and kisses from your Gia.

To my sweet little man Caleb, I just can't believe it is 8 months today that God took you home and we have been without you all that time. Some days I have to remind myself that you really aren't here with us, but you will always be with us in our hearts and our beautiful memories you left behind. I keep trying to understand why God needed you more than we did but I haven't been able to get it yet. I just hope that you know how very much we love you and how missed you are every moment of every day. I pray that someday, somehow we will all find peace and hope in our lives again and that remembering you will be done with more joy and less pain. You brought so much love and happiness into our lives and your smiles and laughter just brightened even the darkest day. That is one of the things I miss the most. The way you could make Pop-Pop and I laugh, even when things were going wrong. We just can't seem to laugh like that anymore. Maybe someday when the pain is not so bad. I hope Jesus made your birthday really special for you this year and every year from now on. I love you my very special little man, always to the moon and back, don't you ever forget that.

Dear Nichole and Joe, Just wanted you to know I am,as always, thinking about both of you today even moreso than any normal day. I know also that no one feels your pain like you both do, but as your parents we are hurting not only with the loss of our 1st beautiful grandchild, but our hearts hurt for your hearts, especially in knowing that we can't do anything to help that pain, except be here when you finally need us to be, which we both hope someday that will happen. All three of you are in our hearts and prayers, and on our minds from the time we get up in the morning until we go to bed at night. We miss our special times together, just like we miss our little man. So as always, we just wanted to let you both know that we are here for you today, just as we are here for you everyday, whenever you need us to be. And to our precious little man, your beautiful smile will always be a reminder of how we should all live our lives, everyday, just like you did for your too short a time here. You will forever be that light in our lives that will never ever really be extinguished. Your laughter will always sound in our hearts and your smile will always light up our dark days and nights. We love you all more than words can ever say. With love and hugs we hope you can all feel, from Mom and Dad (Gia and Pop Pop)

I hope you're finding some sense of strength & comfort in all the beautiful memories you have of your son. It's amazing, for someone I never had the good fortune to meet, Caleb is a constant reminder for me of how very precious every moment of our life is. Thinking of you.

Dear Nik and Joe, We just wanted you both to know how much we are thinking about you especially today, marking this 4 month milestone of life without our precious Caleb. He must be so proud of you both for the love and strength you have shown over these past months. Please know how much we love you both, and please remember that we feel your pain as if it were our own, because of how much we love you and how much we love our little man. We are here for you always. Forever in our hearts, Caleb will always be, the most blessed of gifts we will ever receive. Thank you for sharing him and for letting us love him so much while he was here. Love you both, Mom and Dad And to our Caleb, our beautiful shining star. We see you every day as the sun shines ever so bright and then again in the darkness when your beautiful smile lights up the night. We miss you our precious little man, but you will forever own a huge piece of our hearts until we meet again. Hugs, kisses and all the love in the world to the moon and back. We love you, Gia and PopPop

Dear Joe and Nichole, I just wanted to extend my sympathies to you and your family. I lost my 3 year old daughter 2 weeks after her 3rd birthday to meningitis. If you need to talk, please don't hesitate to contact me at home at 945-3642. If there is anything I can do for you at all, please call. He was a beautiful boy. We were blessed with the short time we had them for. So many memories in such a short period of time. Keep talking about him and keep his pictures everywhere. It helps to constantly remember them and the fun times rather than putting your energy into trying to forget the way our children were taken from us too soon. Again, please call if you need anything! God bless your little angel! Lauren

There are no words we can say to you, and there is nothing we can do that will take away your pain right now. You know how much we are feeling that same pain because you know how much our little man meant to us. We would have gladly traded places with him had God let us. We are in awe of you both and the strength you have shown through this sad and devastating time and we just hope when the time comes that you need us, you will let us be there for you. Caleb will forever be in our hearts and no one will ever take his place there. Thank you for giving us the most beautiful gift in the world and for sharing him so graciously with us and letting us play such an important part in his life.We Love you both, with broken hearts, Gia and Pop-Pop

Dear Nichole,Joe,Robin,Herb & family. So deeply sorry for the tragic loss of your beautiful Caleb. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. At a loss for words, to comfort you we thought this prayer may help. IN TIMES OF GRIEF Grief is a fact of life, dear friend, That we all have to meet at times, It's not easy to accept it, But we must, though it seems a crime. We can't see God in any place, But I assure you He is there. We hold just some of the pieces Of Life's Puzzle, so persevere--- God holds all the missing pieces And in time they will be placed In your Life's Picture Puzzle-- Then your sorrow will be erased. Lean heavily upon Our Lord, For He is always very near, He's beside you in times of stress, And in times of grief & fear. Just pray to Him for acceptance Of the vacuum death has caused, He will give you tolerance, He will pull you form the jaws. Of sorrow that's too hard to bear, For He understands humanity. He'll help you carry your despair Until all souls will be set free. Sincerely, Mike & Rosanne Masi and Family

There are no words that can express how truly sorry I am for your loss. As a mother myself I cannot imagine what you are feeling now. However, as a sister in Christ I can tell you that the Lord does not give us more than we can bear. Caleb was welcomed into the arms of our Heavenly Father. He is at peace and smiling once again. I pray that God will fill you with the peace and comfort you need at this time. Draw your strength from your faith and know that you have a prayer partner here in Virginia who will continue to lift you up. Ruth Via

Hey my little buddy, I am so sorry I have missed a couple times writing to you. Sometimes the days get away from me and before I know it another month has gone by. Other times I write to you and for whatever reason my computer erases what I wrote . I just don't want you to ever think I don't think about you all the time cause I do. I love hearing all your little cousins who you never met, talk about you like they are your best friend. They know your picture and they know your name....we will always keep you alive in all of their hearts and they will know you through us. It's ironic that we didn't have your fundraiser this year and i'm so thankful because if we did have it planned we would have had to cancel it because of the covid 19 virus we are experiencing right now. We did have to cancel your golf outing next week but we hope to have it in October...the day after your birthday because so many people still want to come. I just hope this virus is under control because it is really bad right now. I am so glad you and pop pop are together buddy cause it is really scary down here right now. And being alone right now is not fun so I just hope you are always together. I hope you can help pop pop watch over all of us here and keep us all safe from this monster. I love you my sweet man and miss you more than ever.....to the moon and back...I love u bunches...…...GIA xoxoxoxoxo I am sending you up a bunch of balloons here since that is what I would be doing if we had your fundraiser....xoxoxo

Hey my little man.....How is it possible that 13 years ago we held your little hand and said just open your eyes buddy ...just a little bit....we watched out the window as the machines continued to work outside the hospital and we prayed ...oh how we prayed that you would open your eyes or just move a finger ...even just a lil bit. I honestly never thought we would leave that hospital without you and when I think back to having to watch your momma go home without you is just devastating all over again. I try to picture you today but all I can see is that beautiful little boy who use to sit in the closet at bedtime on the paint can and hide until I found you and then you would say... again....again...and I would find you again and again. You were such an easy little boy with so much love for anyone you met and those eyes and that smile just brought me to my knees. You gave pop pop and I so much happiness and I wish so much you were both still here. Life has been so hard since we lost you and now without pop pop....my heart hurts most of the time. And now my two good friends are both real sick and I am so afraid of losing them too. And I am worried about your momma so I hope you can watch over her and keep her safe and let her know everything will be okay. She is going through a lot of stuff right now and she needs lots of positive energy and hope ok? I know if you can give her a sign of some sort it would really help her right now. I miss you my sweet little man and I am sending you lots of hugs and love...please give pop a hug from me and we will chat again soon.... to the moon and back again ….I will love you forever.....

Hey my little man, Well I guess by now you met your uncle mike and sister mary clair….our aunt carol.....We are very sad back here but I hope you are having a big party as you welcome them home in heaven. Uncle Mike has been so supportive in your foundation and even though he is gone he is still helping us through his passing. Instead of sending flowers to the funeral people who loved him are donating to Caleb's Pennies in his memory. So even though he is not here, he is still helping us which is awesome and I am sure it would make him very happy. I hope you got to meet aunt carol too cause she is such an awesome person. Pop pop must be very happy having 2 more people from his family joining him now, but I have to say we are pretty sad and having a hard time back here. I hope you can help us move through these difficult times and especially watch over nana and pop and all uncle mikes family. They are all going to go through some very difficult times. I also hope you can help bring peace to my family and tighten up the relationships between all my kids. Life is too short as we know and I just they could work out the kinks between them. I wish I could talk more but honestly buddy I am just so exhausted and emotionally drained that I just need to get some sleep. I will be back soon but until then have a happy thanksgiving ...tell Pop pop I love him and take good care of all those who have joined you now.....love u to the moon and back.....Gia

Its so hard to believe that you would be a freshman this year and now your little brother is in kindergarten... so crazy that you would be that old. I can picture you teaching Benny about football and how he would look up to you so much. And your birthday is coming up and you will be 15 this year...man I think about how awesome you would be and I think about all the things you never got to do. Pop and I had so many dreams to share with you buddy and so did your mom. I know you and pop are surely spending time together everyday and for that I am glad but it almost makes me miss you even more. Life without you and pop pop have changed so many things for us...for me. my heart just hurts every day and I just don't know how to fix it. Can you give your pop a big hug and a kiss for me? I'll be back next month for your birthday buddy....still loving you to the moon and back

Hey buddy, time for our chat again can even though I am super tired I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know I am thinking about you and missing you. I think your mommy needs some extra attention right now cause she is really worried about Faith...the baby she is taking care of right now. She is sick and has to go for more tests so if you could watch over her and keep her safe I know it would make your momma feel so much better. If you were here you would love Faith cause she is a sweet adorable little girl who smiles just like you use to do and she has big eyes like you did too so just keep an eye on her okay and maybe you can talk to God and ask her to just let her be okay and maybe help her stay with your mommy and Dan. They really love her..we all do and don't want to lose her but first we just want to make sure she is ok so you watch over her ok bud??? I hope you are spending lots of time with pop pop ...please tell him how much I miss him and I would love to get some signs from you both. And could you give aunt Sharon a big hug for me....I only want her to know I am so sorry and I really miss her …..so spend some time with her when you can ok?? I was mowing the lawn the other day and all I could think about was how if you were here I know you would be over here helping me....I just really believe you would have spent a lot of time here with us...that was the reason we moved here was to be closer to you and your mom...I hate that we never got the chance to let that happen.... Well I need to get some sleep my little man...yes you will always be my little man...got some tough days coming up so I have to be ready. Love you much and miss you more..xoxoxo Gia

We are trying to get ready for the summer but there are so many things to do and just not enough time to do them all so we will take 1 day at a time and hopefully everything will work out. I have so much work to do in the yard and I sure wish pop pop was here to help me cause I am very overwhelmed with everything. He would know where to start and we would do everything together....oh how I miss those days so much. I miss you my little man every single day and I miss pop pop too.

Hey little man....well I am gonna try this again cause the last time everything got erased so I wanted to tell you how awesome the fundraisers were this year. Even though it rained the day of the tricky tray it brought out lots of people and we raised over $9,000 more than last year and our 50/50 raised lots of money for our two families. On Monday we had our best golf day ever with lots of sunshine and warm weather and great people...it was just a perfect day and it was all done because of you. You are still touching so many hearts even after 12 years of being gone...your memory lives on in the hearts of all those you continue to help. So thank you for helping make it one of the best days ever...I hope you got the balloons we sent to you and pop pop and I hope you know they came with so much love and were filled with hugs and kisses. Everyday you are thought of and missed more than you could possibly know. This year we started a scholarship in your memory at the high school and one lucky kid will get $500 in honor of you. We keep trying to come up with new ideas and new ways to get people involved in Calebs Pennies...that is always our goal so hopefully next year we can do some new fundraisers and get more people and kids involved too. This year lots of people brought us in their pennies and one little girl named Kelcie brought in 16 jars filled with only pennies....This is her mission in life …..to collect pennies for your foundation. She is a very special little girl... Well I have to go clean up the water leak in the basement so I better get going for now. I love you to pieces my sweet boy....give pop pop hugs for me...I miss both of you so much and my heart still hurts every day...to the moon and back for always I will love you both....xoxoxoxoxoxoxo ur Gia

It has been tough trying to put everything together and wrapping baskets but we will get it done one way or another. I have been really sick too so It has been tough getting out there to help her but i'm hoping things will continue to get better and I can be more help to her. Please help us buddy to keep us strong and able to do all we have to do and can you continue to watch over my good friend Cindy. She is going through some really tough stuff right now and she needs all the angels to help her...please gather up all your friends and make a big circle around her and help her get through this please....I will be so thankful if you can help watch over her....I love you my little buddy to the moon and back.....xoxoxoxo Gia

Hey my sweet boy, I am so sorry I am late with this letter but yesterday was a tough day and I decided to watch videos of you and pop pop which I so enjoyed buy made my heart a little bit more sad and I lost a lot of tears while I watched. By the time I finished it was late and I knew I wouldn't be able to put two words together at that point. I am also sorry I didn't come to the cemetary but I have been so sick and I was really nervous about the high winds and how cold it was so although I didn't come to visit you there thoughts of you were in my heart all day long. I still can't believe you have been gone for 12 years now...it feels like it was yesterday when we had to leave that hospital without you and the memory of that day will be forever etched in my heart. Days go by so fast anymore it's sometimes you have to make sure you enjoy them before they are over and you miss the special moments. I'm glad we had so many of those special moments in the 2 short years you were here with us. You taught me how to be a GIA and showed me how easy it is too love a grandchild...I hope you will always remember how very much I love you and how you will always be my number 1 grandbaby. I hope pop pop gave you extra hugs and kisses from me...… We are starting to get ready for your big fundraiser which will be here before you know it so help us get ready buddy...you know how much work it takes to make it happen and this year with so much going on..it will take a lot from all of us to make it all come together. I hope pop and you are spending a lot of time together buddy ..please take care of him for me and tell him how much I love him and how much I miss him.

I know mom is a little overwhelmed with so much to do with the foundation the kids and now this new little baby she is taking care of so I hope you can watch over her and give her some of your incredible strength when she is feeling out of energy and needs to be uplifted...I know you can do that for her. You always do.

The days just seem to go by so fast anymore that I can't quite seem to keep up with them. There are so many things I want and need to do but life just gets overwhelming some days. I miss you and pop pop so much and my heart really hurts when I think about you both. I want to ask you to keep an eye on Jen's mom and help her fight this awful disease for the 2nd time. I know she is scared but trying to stay positive through the whole process but really needs some extra prayers and some positive energy. I hope you felt us celebrating your birthday with the cupcakes and balloons we sent you. Did you get all our messages? And then we sang for you again on sunday when we celebrated you, emmy and me too cause we all have birthdays at the same time. I hope too that you can hear when 'Dakota talks to you. It amazes me that he feels so close to you and talks about you so often. I really hope that you visit him and always watch over him and 'Aubrey. They always call you their big brother. Well I need to sleep now but know how much I miss you and how much I love you my little man.....give pop pop a big hug and a giant kiss for me....xoxoxoxoxo

I hope you got all the balloons everyone sent. I got 14...one for each year of your life and I sent you one more and that was the good luck one (and I sent one for pop pop too...hope he got his too). Mommy and I had a nice day today. We got so spend some time together which was really nice. I need a big favor buddy....Your mom needs some extra special angels watching over her tomorrow okay??? Can you talk to pop and all your angel friends and ask them to keep her safe and let everything be okay when she goes for her tests? I know we are all really nervous for her and I think she is scared so please buddy can you just make sure she is okay. She does so much for so many people its time she gets some of that good will returned to her ok. She really needs a sign from you bud...especially without Mr. Bear here for her to hug … Please watch over her buddy and help her to get through the day . I still can't believe you are 14 now...I imagine all the things you would love...football, girls, hanging out with friends, going to games...all kinds of stuff...I just wish you were still here to do all those things.. I love you buddy to the moon and back forever....Happy 14th Birthday my sweet boy....Loving you for always, your Gia.....

Hey buddy, I just want you to know i'm thinking about you today but then I think about you every other day too. I can't believe your 14th birthday will be coming up next month...I just wish you were still here to celebrate it with us. I am sure Pop pop will have something special planned for you. He always was good at those kinds of things and I miss him for all those little things he use to do for me. I miss both of my guys.. Hey bud, your mommy and Dan could really use some support tomorrow when they go to court for baby Xavier, He should have been living with them all this time and now they are fighting to get him back. So if you can help them out tomorrow for this court date to go well you will make your mom so very happy....Maybe you could put in a good word for her that she is a great mom and is just trying to keep him with his brother and sister. Some people really messed up when they took him away from your mom and she is trying so hard to get him back. Her and Dan have been trying for a long time to make it happen so maybe you could help her out tomorrow. Just let her know you are there with her. Well I have to go buddy cause my arms are really hurting from painting today. I am really in a lot of pain so I have to cut this a little short i'm sorry, I will be back for sure next month on your birthday so until then ..know I am missing you every day and thinking about you always...Give ur pop pop a big hug and kiss from me. Loving you to the moon and back again my little man.... xoxoxoxo Gia

Hey my buddy, I am so sorry I didn't get to write to you last month, my computer wasn't working right so here I am even though I am a little late. It's so sad that summer is officially over and we have to start thinking about the holidays and shopping and I am just not ready for all that stuff yet. I keep trying to just enjoy things but the days just go so fast and i'm just really tired these days. Working these long days are getting tougher and my legs are hurting a lot but I have to do what I have to do to keep going. I miss pop pop so much and especially with our anniversary coming up...I hope you can watch over him and keep him company this week and I hope you can talk him into sending me some signs this week...I really need some right now especially to help get me through the tough days coming up. I can't believe your birthday will be coming up again next month too....sometimes I forget that you are truly gone. I hope you get to see my sister...aunt Sharon and tell her I miss her and think of her all the time. Well buddy I have to get ready for bed...I am just so tired tonight and I have another really long day tomorrow. Just remember I think about you every day and love you to the moon and back for always..... xoxoxoxoxo Gia

Hey my boy....well today has been a really tough day for your mommy and she really needs your help buddy. Mr. Bear is lost and you have to help her find him.....please. She is really upset cause she sleeps with him every night and he helps her to feel close to you. Please buddy help the people at the hotel find out where he is hiding. We can' t do anything to help her at this point. We made phone calls and poor Dan drove all the way there and sat there for hours but nothing happened yet. Please let them find him and return him to mommy.... she isn't gonna sleep too good without him there. So if you and pop pop can call in all your angel friends and help those people find him maybe wrapped up in all those sheets. She really needs him buddy so please help him find his way home to her.... I love you little man and miss you bunches.... To the moon and back for always.....xoxoxo Gia

Hey Buddy, I am so sorry i missed you last month. I had written a letter to you and then it somehow erased itself and i just haven't been able to sit back to write again till now. I never got the chance to tell you how great the fundraiser was or told you about all the money we did raise and how great the 50/50s turned out to be. It was another great weekend and hopefully mommy is still getting donations online so we can keep building your bank account up for those families that we want to continue to help. The weather on Monday was a little squirrely with the snow rain and then sun when we were finishing and heading over to dinner but we managed to get through the tough moments and everyone enjoyed the day as always. It always amazes me how the men that come from ny always say how they will never miss it and will always come for youl. That is why your mommy does what she does and it works!!! And now last week you gained another cousin when Aunt Jessie adopted Harper Ruth . She too will know all about you as she gets older. She knows your picture now but she will know all about what a special little boy you were. Well i guess that is about all i have for now buddy. I will be back soon....hugs to you and pop pop!!!!! To the moon and back....loving you forever...........................................................................................Gia

But we are working really hard to make this weekend a big success so we have the baskets now we just need you and pop pop to give us some decent weather and send the people to buy the tickets and we will do the rest. Just help us to make it a great day where we raise a lot of money for all the little ones we need to help. We will be sending you and pop pop balloons on sunday so i hope you will be waiting for them. Maybe you and pop could give us a sign that you got them okay??

Hey buddy, Thinking of you lots today. We are getting ready for your big fundraiser coming up next month but we have a lot to do before then. Baskets are looking really good and thankfully people have been very generous again this year. I wish your mommy felt better but she has been feeling a lot of pain and is very tired so this has been a little tougher this year but we are still hoping to get everything done earlier this year. Keeping our fingers crossed but we still have quite a bit to do. I'm hoping this Tuesday i will be able to wrap a whole bunch of baskets. Then we just have to figure out where to put them all, cause they are so big, we are running out of room. We also have the pub crawl coming up in 3 weeks in Hoboken so hopefully we get a good turnout for the day. I think it may be the last one we have in Hoboken cause Aunt Crystal might be moving so help us get a good turnout this year. Well i guess i'll be back the week of the fundraisers so for now....keep sending us more angels with lots of donations to help us out. Love u to the moon and back forever.. xoxoxo Gia

Hey my sweet man....11 years ago ....how is it possible that you have been gone that long?? Honestly it feels like yesterday but then it feels like a lifetime ago but the one thing that hasn't changed is how much i miss you. Getting up this morning i kept remembering things about you....the way you could make pop and i laugh and smile whenever you walked into the room. You truly touched so many hearts with your beautiful brown eyes and your laughter ....your personality was just beyond words. ' We got together today and instead of being sad all day we actually had some laughs even though our hearts are still hurting. I hope you got the balloons all your cousins sent to you .....i'll send mine tomorrow so you will know i am still thinking about you. I know how much you enjoy getting them. Thank you to you or pop pop for sending that cardinal in front of my car today... It did make me smile just a little. I put some baskets together today and they are ready to wrap when i get home from texas next week. We are getting ready for the fundraiser and hoping we get lots of donations so help us spread the word to get some good donations. Well buddy ...another year is over and now we move on to the next one. I'll never stop missing you and thoughts of you are in my heart every day., Please give pop pop a big hug and kiss from me....i miss him so much my heart aches every day. I love you little man as always ....to the moon and back ..xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey little man, A lot going on right now...holidays are over and now we are getting ready to start gearing up for your big fundraiser. I got most of my flyers out but still have a few to go and I have picked up a few donations already but hoping to pick up more asap. Send down a few prayers for us that we get lots of good stuff this year so we can continue this mission that mommy started. It's hard to believe that it is time again cause I feel like we just did this such a short time ago but we are all ready to get out there and get ready for another successful event. We will get the baskets ..you just need to send us the people when it is time. Miss you buddy and I still can hear your laughter and see that beautiful mischevious smile of yours that would light up a room when you entered. We lost you way too early but you live on in all of our hearts along with all the hearts of the people who met you.....I'll be back next month but until then know thoughts of you are only a heartbeat away...give pop pop hugs and kisses for me okay.,.... To the moon and back again...I will be loving you both....xoxoxoxoxo

Hey little man, I know its weird that I still call you that but in my mind you still are and always will be my little man. Keeping all the memories of you in my mind keep you always close to my heart. I hope you and pop pop had a wonderful Christmas together but we all missed both of you so very much. Even tho both of you are gone we still celebrate you here ....I wish you and pop could have met Dakota and Aubrey and all your cousins. You would have been such a good role model for them to look up too. I still think about how pop and I always pictured you coming here after school and riding your bike over here from your house....never thinking you would be gone. But now it's just me here and I live with all our memories and they help to keep me going when I just want to quit and give up at times. It just gets lonely here all the time being by myself and I really miss pop pop so you take good care of him for me okay. I'll be back next month to talk again so until then you keep sending me some great signs ok....I will look for them everyday.... Till then I will be loving you and missing you every day...sending big hugs and lots of kisses to you and pop pop....xoxoxo Gia

Hey sweet boy...I know I just wrote you last week but I just wanted you to know that i am thinking about you on this day..just like every other month and wanted to just write a short note this time just so you know you have been on my mind all day today. You and Emmy share this birthday month so with one week saddening our hearts the next one makes us smile again. I think you two would have been very close friends and i think you would have been very protective over your little cousins. They all adore you and help us to keep your memory alive by talking about you and helping us to celebrate you in every way we can. We are getting ready for your Halloween bowling fundraiser this weekend so hopefully we get a decent turnout to bowl. I remember the Halloweens pop and i took you out and although you were too young to understand what was really going on we had so much fun watching your little face whenever someone gave you m & m's.... they were your favorite at the time. My only regret is that Mommy wasn't there with us...I have always felt sad about that so i hope this Halloween when your little brother and sister are trick or treating you will be there walking right along side of them holding mommys hand.....helping to collect all those m & m's again.. Have a fun Halloween buddy....hope you and pop have a fun time.... Love u to the moon and back for always....Gia

My sweet boy, How is it possible that you could really be 13 years old today?? I just wish so much that you were here with us to celebrate but I hope you and Pop Pop celebrated together just as Mommy, Cota, Aubs and I celebrated here. I hope you got all the balloons and messages we sent to you today and I hope they made you know how very special and loved you are. So many people here remembered your birthday and sent many good wishes to your mommy and all of us. We celebrated at your play ground and at the cemetary where we played music and danced. I got balloons so we could write down some messages to send to you and pop pop and mommy made cupcakes and brownies for all of us to share. They were quite yummy. It's been a really tough week especially for Mommy so I hope you can watch over her and send her some xtra lovin right now. She is really missing you and she is feeling really sad and just needs to know that everything will be okay. My heart hurts so much but it hurts more for her and all that she has been through. I miss you my sweet Caleb everyday. I hope you and Pop Pop had a great day together..give him big hugs and kisses from me... Happy Birthday Caleb ...I love you to the moon and back again....xoxoxoxo

Hey buddy, Just want you to know I'm thinking about you today. I feel like its been awhile since I have written but I guess it was really only last month. Hope you are taking real good care of pop pop this month cause this is a really special month for him and for Gia and its really hard not being together so make him smile and give him lots of hugs and kisses from me okay..... So a friend of mine told me you love getting the balloons we send you and that you give one to all the children and tell them they are from their mommies. I think that is the sweetest thing in the world and it doesn't surprise me cause you always were ready to share your things with everyone. Next month is your birthday so I will make sure you get some so you can share with all your little friends...and maybe give one to pop pop too...from me. Well I am gonna go cause I have lots of things to do here tomorrow. I am trying to get so many things done before it gets colder and there is a lot to do and I have to try and do most of it myself since pop pop is not here to help me anymore. Take good care of pop pop for me okay.... Love you buddy to the moon and back ....for always.....Gia

Hey buddy...I wish I could get the chance to come and read you a story again one of these days...I just feel like the days go by so quickly anymore I don't have free time to do anything. Just trying to keep things working around the house take more time than I can give it. But even though I don't get by to see you as much as I want I hope you know I think about you every day. I look at all your cousins and imagine how awesome you would be as a big brother or the oldest cousin. They all love you and always talk about you all the time ..... I just wish I could see how they would react to having you here to teach them stuff....Mommy and I have to get into the foundation room and start cleaning everything up to get ready for putting baskets together again. We havent' done anything over the summer so we really have our work cut out for us in order to be ready for the next fundraiser . Well I hope you keep an eye on your mom...she hurt her foot a few weeks ago and she has been having a tough time getting things done so just watch over her for me okay? Well I gotta go to bed buddy...i'm not feelin so hot tonight and think I need some sleep. I have no voice tonight so hope its back for work tomorrow. I just need to sleep tonight...

Hey little man....It's our time again to share a few minutes together. I probably say the same things each month but I mainly do this to let you know that I think of you all the time. You and pop pop are never far from my mind at any time of day. Everytime I pull onto my street I think of how I pictured you riding your bike over here or getting off the bus and walking here...Pop and I always thought we would see you all the time. Boy how our dreams were crushed when we lost you and now I dont' think I have many dreams left. I stop dreaming cause life has become to scary for me. I don't like to plan too much cause I never know now what life has in store for me but the only thing I can tell you is that I miss you boys like crazy ...every single moment of every single day. I hope you can see your mommy now with your little brother and sister and all the stuff they do. Dakota always talks about you like he knows you and I love it. I guess he didn't really have to know you to love you though. But I can just picture you as the best big brother ever.....I hope you are watching over little Jonathan for my friend Moira...that would make her so happy to know you guys hang out together...She misses her little guy just like I miss you.......Well I need to go get some things done before it is bedtime....I'll be back next month my little man.....loving you to the moon and back again......your Gia

Hey my little man, Well I guess Gia really messed up and missed a whole month of talking to you and pop pop. So now I will fill you in and let you know how well we did with your fundraisers this year. Thank you for the weather for the two days..it was really helpful in getting people to come out and support us and we raised over $60,000 which is awesome. We can help a lot of families with that money so that makes it a very successful weekend for everyone. I am not sure how I missed writing to you and pop last month but I guess just being so busy I just missed it....I love the signs you continue to give to so many people buddy...them finding pennies gives them such hope when they are going through difficult times so keep dropping them down to us. I miss you buddy and I was gonna go clean up your spot but I think mommy is going to plant some flowers there so I will wait till she does what she wants to do and then i'll stop by. I hope you and pop pop are having fun together but I miss you both so much. I hope you got the balloons we sent up to you and pop pop after the fundraiser with all our messages of love ..... Well I have to go do some work around the house and some sewing so I will be back next month sweet boy....loving you to the moon and back forever....xoxoxo Gia

Just please ask God to give us decent weather so people will want to come out on both days and we can raise lots of money for a lot of families. We still have some things to finish up but we are getting there and hopefully we will have lots of help in the next few days.

Hey my little man, I know you are 12 but in my heart and in my mind you will always be my little man...We are working really hard to get things ready for your big fundraiser. Mom and I are working hard putting baskets together and even though the snow put us behind we will be ready when we need to be. We just need to get all the donations in and we will be good to go. We went to a fundraiser that Jolyn had at her school this week and it was super nice. She did a great job and raised almost $2000. This is the goal .....to have other people become involved and have their own fundraisers and next weekend we go to aunt crystals Hoboken pub crawl where I hope we raise even more money. She always has a good turnout so we need your help to make it happen again this year so send out some special angel messages for us and get people to sign up. I hope you and pop pop will be able to somehow be there with us this year while we walk the streets of Hoboken, laughing, drinking and just making more memories in your honor. The next time I write will be a few days before the fundraiser so wish us luck next weekend buddy....Give pop pop a big hug and kiss from Gia okay.....

Hey buddy....I honestly just don't know what to say cause I just can't believe that you have been gone for 10 years...it is so impossible in my mind even though my heart has been hurting for so long now. Sometimes it still doesn't feel real and other times I wonder if you were ever really here. I have watched your mommy suffer so much these last 10 years and finally this year was the first year I really felt the happiness in her heart. I think its because you have sent her two of the most beautiful gifts she has ever received and she has finally been able to smile just a little bit for the first time. That doesn't mean that the pain of losing you has lessened ....she like us has learned to move forward but it takes a long long time. We are gonna get together today to celebrate the special beautiful little boy that you were and I am really hoping we can feel you with us today. I am gonna take some balloons if I can get them blown up to the cemetary for friends and family to stop by and write you a message to send up to you. I know how much you like getting them so I hope you find them all tomorrow. I still miss you everyday my little man and I think about you all the time. Please be with us today and know that we are with you always....I love you to the moon and back sweet boy...xoxoxo

HI buddy Cant' believe its Christmas time again. I'm sorry I missed both you and pop pop last month...it was a really tough time and I just couldn't bring myself to write for some reason. I thought about both of you both days all day but with it being thanksgiving it just made it that much harder to sit down and type something so here I am a month later on another holiday, missing you more and back to my writing letters. I hope you and pop pop have a great holiday with all our relatives up there and I hope you meet uncle buck..i think he would get a kick out of you for sure. In fact you met him a long time ago over at great grandmas birthday party so i'm sure he will remember you. At least mommy can really celebrate Christmas with the little ones this year and they are getting ready to move into their house like uncle benny and aunt Nicole did. I haven't even seen the new office at the house yet..i feel bad cause I couldn't even get there to help mommy set it up but i'm sure she did a great job and has it just the way she wants it to be. It will soon be time to get started on your fundraiser again. Man time goes so fast anymore I hardly have time to enjoy anything. Well buddy I have to get some sleep cause I am beat.

I still can't get over the fact that you are 12 years old already...that just doesn't seem possible. I stlll see you as my little man pulling on pop pops hair when he sits on the couch. Oh to see you do that one more time would make me so very special ..... We are getting ready for your foundation bowling day on sunday. So send out the people so we can raise some money for some families. It will be a fun day too. Not too much to say today since I just wrote you last week for your birthday but I just wanted to tell you I was thinking about you. I love you buddy to the moon and back again !!!

Hey Buddy, Just wanted to tell you I am thinking of you today as always especially on this day. We are getting packed up so we can move all your things into mommys house and then we can set everything up for all the time. We can get rid of all the boxes and always have everything ready to go into a basket. It's gonna take us some time to get it all set up but we will make it happen. We have your bowling fundraiser set up for October so hopefully we will get a good turnout for that and make a little bit of money for the kids. Mommy cleaned up all the weeds and I wanted to come over to plant this mum plant I have so I'm gonna try and get there tomorrow if its nice out on my way to mommys house. Hopefully there will be some sun tomorrow...it would be nice to just sit in the sunshine for a little while. Can't believe your little brother Dakota will be starting school on Tuesday. You would love him and Aubrey and they would absolutely adore you. I think you hand picked them to send to Mommy and Dan cause they are both really special little people. Well buddy I have to go now cause my hands and arms are really hurting so I need to go and rest them for awhile. Know how much I love you and how very much I miss you every single day.

Hey buddy, Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you. Thank you for sending me the sign today...I found a penny today outside the gas station and i'm sure it was from you. I haven't found one in awhile so thank you for thinking of me today. I can't believe summer is almost over already but that means your birthday will be here soon and your bowling benefit will happen again this year so help us get a good turnout for that. Also we are moving your donations again and this time they will be at mommys house. She built a brand new room just for you and for all the donations that people give us for the foundation. It's gonna take some work to get everything all packed up and moved and set back up again but we will do it. We will do it so that your memory continues to live on in all our hearts and so that we can continue to help so many other people. We will always do it for you buddy.

Hey buddy, It's time for my monthly letter and I didn't want to miss it again. I was hoping to get to it earlier this morning but I was out for the day so here I am now. Not too much new going on here. Its a crazy summer...real busy. Your mommy and Dan are building their house finally which will be great for Dakota and Aubrey. They need more room so it will be great when its finished which I hope will be really soon for all of them. We will be starting to pack up all your donations soon cause we will be moving them over to your mommys house. She is putting on an addition and making a room just for pennies from heaven so we have a lot of work to do in getting everything over there but I think it will be great for her cause she can do work whenever she wants to. Might be a little tougher for me but we will make it work. I'm gonna go now bud cause i'm really exhausted tonight.

Well my sweet boy....I am sorry I missed last month. and this month I am late again..I have been having issues every time I try and go on here so hopefully this one will work the first time. I missed telling you how great we did at the fundraiser this year raising $60,000 which will go a long way in helping so many families. It was a great weekend and lots of people came out to support Calebs Pennies and we had another successful fundraiser. So many good people who believe in what we are doing in your name and they support us every year. We did send up some balloons this year as always but a couple didn't make it past the trees so I hope you got the rest of them. They were sent up with lots of love from all of us. The gold outing the next day was also equally as successful and the highlight was bob woods had pants on with your pictures all over them. They were awesome. We helped 3 families this year through our 50/50s and their stories are heartbreaking just like all the rest. Aunt CC won the raffle at the tricky tray and another woman won it at the golf and they both donated the money back to us so we were able to give each family $700 which is awesome. This charity is continuing to do everthing you wanted it to do buddy so we will just continue doing what we have to do to make that happen. So we will be moving again...this time to mommys house. We are gonna have a special new building right at her house which will be great for mommy so she can work whenever she wants. The thought of moving again is not such a fun thought though cause we have so much to pack up and that will be quite a job for us to get done. I hope you got to see your new cousin Colette before she came to us....she is a cutie for sure and we will make sure she knows who her cousin Caleb is. And your new brother and sister are growing so fast ...I hope you can continue to watch over them for mommy. I hope you and Pop pop are with us every day. I miss you buddy more with each day that passes but always remember I will love you to the moon and back again.....xoxoxoxo your Gia

Hey sweet Caleb.....I'm sitting here trying to wrap my head around the fact that you have been gone 9 years today. I honestly don't know how it is possible that so much time has passed us by already. It seems like yesterday you were pulling pop pops hair as he sat on the hair and you were laughing and making us all smile just by watching and listening to you. You touched so many hearts in your short little life here with us and now 9 years later you are still touching so many lives by helping so many families going through what we as a family went through. Thankfully some of those families have a better outcome that we did. I can't help but sit here and think back to that last week you were with us. Sitting up with you that last night....I never thought it would be the last night I would get to hold you in my arms or watch you while you slept. And I never thought we would leave the hospital without you. I still don't understand why you were taken from us but I know your mommy believes you came to help us learn to help others. I wish we could have done that without having to lose you in the process. But because of you ....we have helped so many families in your name and that is something to be proud of for sure. We have already started our fundraiser for this year and we are hoping to raise lots of money again to continue helping so many more families. So much has happened since you left us buddy and even though you aren't here....you are in the center of so much of what has been done. I hope you look down and watch over your new little brother and sister. We talk about you to them all the time and I feel like Dakota totally knows you. He even calls you his big brother and I know you would love both of them and be a great role model for them. Even though its been 9 years.....we all still think about you every day. That will never change....You will always live in our hearts and through this wonderful foundation by helping so many families in your name. You are my forever special angel Caleb and I will always love you to the moon and back forever.....Give your pop pop a big hug and a kiss for me.....xoxoxoxoxo your Gia I'm sending these balloons to you filled with love hugs and kisses!!

Hey my little man, Well I was suppose to do this yesterday and I am so sorry I let the day slip by without letting you know I was thinking about you all day. We are getting ready to begin the time of year that totally represents you and the special boy you are. We got a lot of our flyers out and now we are just waiting for the donations to start coming in so we can start putting baskets together. I can't believe its time already but it is so we will make you proud again this year. It will be a little harder this year for mommy now with your new brother and sister to take care of but you know she will do everything she has to do (just like we all will) to make the fundraiser a huge success as always. Help us reach out to as many people as we can and maybe get some new people too, to make it as successful as it always is every other year. I miss you buddy and I hope you always know how very much you will always be loved and always remembered for the special little guy you are.... sending Hugs and Kisses to you and to PopPop,...... To the moon and back I will love you for always....Gia sending you some balloons just like I sent Pop Pop....filled with so much love.....

Hey my little man, Merry Christmas in heaven my sweet boy. It's been so long since you were here for Christmas but time passed hasn't stopped me from missing you every year. Knowing you and Pop pop are together makes it just a little bit easier but it doesn't make me miss you any less...I miss you more every year. Thank you for your help with our Christmas miracle and for making your mommys heart smile a little more this year. Your new brother and sister are bringing some Christmas joy into all of our hearts and I'm sure you and pop pop had a hand in making that happen. Cota already knows who you are and we will make sure Aubrey does too cause you will always be their big brother. I hope you will always watch over them from Heaven just as you would if you were here with them. They will need someone to guide them and teach them the right things in life and no one better to do that than you and pop pop. I hope it makes you happy to see how much joy they are bringing to this family Caleb and maybe helping to heal our hearts just a little bit (even though we will never stop missing you buddy) and they will never replace you by any means. They just help us refocus our sadness a little bit. I hope you and pop pop have a wonderful Christmas and that you will think of us down here and know you are both in our hearts all day. Merry Christmas my sweet boy.... Love you to the moon and back forever...xoxoxoxoxoxox Gia

I need you to do me a big favor buddy...Could you give Pop Pop a really xtra big hug tonight and tell him its just from Gia....And can you tell him i really need a sign' from him tonight. It's a really tough night and i'm having a really hard time being here alone and missing him so much. And buddy i have to tell you that i am so happy you didn't have to suffer alot when you were here. I look at some of these little children and i see what they are going through and i am just so sad that we had to let you go but i would have never wanted you to suffer and go through the pain that some of these little ones do. As hard as it was for us to let you go...it was so much better for you. I'll never stop missing you and ill always be feeling a piece of my heart is missing but you will always be with us in everything we do to help other families. The holidays are coming up and they are always harder for all of us but i just hope you can see that your spirit is here with us and we will continue to keep your memory alive always. You take extra care of Pop Pop for me especially today and throughout the holidays okay buddy.....I love you to the moon and back forever little man....xoxoxoxoxo ur Gia

Hey Buddy, Well here we are on the 25th again...the months just seem to fly by anymore. And I guess I can say its gotten easier to get through the day but it hasn't lessened the pain and sadness of losing you at all. When I think of you I do try and remember your beautiful eyes and the sound of your laughter and that sweet mischievous smile you always had on your little face. Oh how you could brighten up a room when you entered it my little man and i'm sure you are still doing that in heaven. Everyone up there is so lucky to have you ...we are the unlucky ones down here. Thoughts of you are always on our minds and in our hearts everyday and we still miss you as much today as we did 8 years ago when you left us. I hope you realize just how much you were loved buddy. I hope you can let your mommy know how much you love her and how proud you are of her and all that she is doing. I really think these two little ones are a gift form you and pop pop and they are 2 special little people and they will both know all about you...Cota already does!!! Well buddy I can't really keep my eyes open anymore, i'm really tired from working all week so I am gonna sign off for now.. I'll be thinking of you as always.... Hugs, kisses and love to the moon and back, Gia

Hey my little man...sorry my letter wouldn't go through last month, even though I tried several times, but here we are on this very special day. Happy Birthday Caleb....how is it possible that you are 11 today, it seems like just yesterday I was in the delivery room with your mommy as you made your way into out lives, sharing a moment with her that no one else shares. (well no one that matters to us anyway) I can still remember the mixed feelings of emotion I felt that day watching my baby bring her own baby into this world. From that first moment they placed you into her arms and I looked into that sweet little face....you stole my heart and there was no going back. For the next 2 years you were the light of my life, mine and pop pops (and of course everyone else's too.) Pop and I loved spending time with you and having you over for sleepovers which we did very often. It really made us smile and made our heart happy just having you spend time with us. I envy you that you have pop pop all to yourself now but I hope you both have a great day together today. I miss you buddy more than all the fishies in the sea more than all the people in the world ... Happy birthday my little buddy...Gia loves you to the moon and back forever....xoxoxo

Hey buddy, Wanted to write you a letter today but I was just so busy at work I never got the chance to do it so here I am now a little late, but just wanted you to know i'm thinking about you. I don't have much time cause I have to work early again tomorrow but didn't want to let the night go by without sending you some love. Miss you so much sweet boy. I hope you can help your mommy by saying some special prayers for her to work out all the things she has going on right now. She's singing a lot and you and pop pop would love listening to her. (I know you probably are anyway) WE still haven't gotten to the new foundation to get things set up but we are hoping to start soon cause there really is a lot to do but right now she is a little crazy with those little ones. But we will get there soon and start getting ready to organize and be ready when we have to start doing baskets again. It will be here before we know it. Well I hate to cut this short bud but I have to try and get some sleep cause I have 2 really long days coming up. Know thoughts of you are always in my heart....always remember...I love you to the moon and back ....xoxoxoxoxo Gia

Hey Little man, Just a quick hi to tell you i'm thinking about you and remembering our monthly chat. Well one-sided I know but I hope you're listening anyway. The weather has been great this week...sunny and beautiful outside even though I was inside working most of the time. I picture you here outside in the park playing baseball with pop or your friends. Your Pop pop was a great coach when it came to teaching you the fundamentals of a sport. He loved working with kids teaching them that winning is great but losing builds character and helps you become a better person and that its okay to sometimes lose cause you just can't win at everything in the game of life.. So I hope you have a baseball bat and a glove up there cause ur pop pop will be a great coach to all you little guys. Mom and I haven't been able to get to the office yet and there is so much to do but she has been busy with the kids and I have been busy with work. You would love these two little ones buddy....just keep your mom In your prayers ok....that all things will work out for her and the family she so desperately wants to have. You keep shining down on her and sending special thoughts to her. Give your pop pop a big kiss for me will ya....and heres one for you too...... mmmmmmmmmmwhahhhhhhhhhhhh....love you to the moon and back sweet boy xoxoxoxoxoxoxo your gia

Hey my little man, I am so sorry I tried to send this the other day and I just kept losing it but just wanted you to know i'm thinking about you and missing you as always. Thanks for the pennies you and pop pop left for me on the bed at mrs. B's house last night. And thanks for the gifts you sent to mommy and Dan too....I hope you can help make it happen that those gifts can stay with them for a very long time...like forever. I am saying lots of prayers and I only hope they will work. Mom and I haven't been able to get to the new office for awhile cause there have been so many things happening, but hopefully we will get there soon so we can start getting everything organized. There is definitely a lot to do but i'm sure we will get it done eventually. Well buddy I hope this little letter goes through this time but just remember how much Gia loves and misses you every day. I hope you can throw out a few extra prayers for uncle Herbie and aunt Jessie this week...they both need a little extra help right now. Till next time by special boy..... Love u to the moon and back....forever xoxoxo Gia

Hey buddy, I can't believe a month has passed already since we had your fundraiser. We raised over $58,000 which is incredible and we are gonna be able to help a whole lot of families. But we have lots of good stuff going on right now especially your mommy. Thank you for the very special gifts you sent her...you made her heart happy again. And we can't wait to tell them about their big brother Caleb when they are older and can understand. But for now we are just trying to help them settle in and hope and pray that everything works out the way we hope it does. We just want to see your mommy be happy again having some little people to love like she loved you. Although i'm not sure she can love someone quite as much as she loved you but I'm sure she will try. Especially with little ones that have never had a family who really loves them so keep watching over them and mommy okay. We will all do our best to help out too. To the moon and back I love you buddy sending hugs and kisses xoxo

Hey Little man, Well I didn't forget you buddy I just wanted to wait till after our big weekend so I could fill you in on how things went. It was an awesome day on Sunday, more people than ever before. Very generous people who helped us raise almost $50,000. The weather worked out great but the love and emotion in the room was incredible. And Preston's mommy and daddy were there too, I'm sure you know little Preston and I bet you are taking real good care of him. They even won your special basket from aunt Jessie and uncle benny and that made the day even more special. You touched so many hearts on sunday .....and then we had our golf outing on Monday and it was another great day. Even though we had a few people that couldn't make it ..it was still such an awesome day. Great people, great food and more money raised for you little man. I think you would be so proud of us and what we are doing. And we surprised mommy with a bench to put at the cemetery so when she comes to sing to you now she will have a place to sit too. At the end of the tricky tray, we all signed the balloons and then went outside to release them to send them up to you and pop pop so I hope you got them all. I think mine got stuck in the trees so i'm hoping they finally made their way up to you both. Well sweet boy...i'm gonna go to bed now, its back to work tomorrow so I need to rest up just a bit. I love you my Caleb to the moon and back forever...... xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo your Gia

Hey little man, I just wanted to say Happy Easter to you and I hope you and Pop pop had a great day together. I spent the day with your mommy at the office doing baskets cause it is getting really close now and we are running out of time. Trying not to get too nervous yet but we are definitely getting a little scared since we are only 3 weeks away. This week we have your pub crawl that aunt C.C. put together so we could use some help getting the people to come for it. Try and help us put the word out there so we have a good turnout okay.... We are working so hard on the tricky tray and the golf outing that mom and I don't have much free time on our hands...but we wouldn't have it any other way buddy...we do this all for you and we will continue to do it till we no longer can. We miss you every day my sweet man and thoughts of you are always in our hearts. Help bring us the people Caleb for these upcoming events...send them to us and we will do the rest....Loving you to the moon and back for always little man......xoxoxoxoxoxo Gia

Hey my little man...Well Gia really messed up this month....I didn't forget you and PopPop but being so sick this week i think i just forgot the dates...i'm sorry buddy cause i haven't missed my monthly letter in almost 8 years...and this makes me so sad... .Mommy and i are so busy getting ready for your fundraiser and putting lots of great baskets together to raffle off.. we work anytime we can and things are getting there. We have people helping us but you know mommy and i do the most work because of how much we love you. We spend a lot of time in the office but it will all be worth it when you send all the people to us on that day. We have new people helping us a lot this year and one girl even started a new pennies from heaven chapter at her school. How cool is that? This is what your mom has been working towards for so long to get people to branch out and start something on their own. And there may be someone else who wants to do the same thing....More people are getting to know and love our sweet Caleb every day...and that is just the way we want it. Even your little cousins Emmy, Laney and Benny started their own Calebs Pennies jar and they put all the change they find in there for you....and other little kids are startin one too...so see even little children want to help us help all these families spend time with their sick child in the hospital....So you keep sending us all these wonderful donations and we will keep putting baskets together to make this an awesome day. And then you just need to send the people okay (oh and some sunshine and beautiful weather would be great too) Well little man i'll be back next month and i won't forget the day...hopefully Gia will be feeling better by then....(could use a little help with that one too bud) Love u to the moon and back sweet boy.....xoxoxoxoxoxo your Gia

Hey My sweet man, Eight years....can this really be possible that you have been gone for 8 years???? How have we managed to get through the last 8 years without you here??? I honestly don't know but I know it hasn't been easy ....it's been with a lot of tears and sadness and prayers. I know everyday is still a challenge and sometimes the heartache is overwhelming.....the one thing that really keeps us going is your foundation. Working so hard to help these families in your name is truly what keeps us going everyday. It is that time again when we are starting to pick up donations so we can start putting baskets together. Like always....we put the baskets together and then you send the people...that's how it works...and it has worked for the last several years so keep em coming little man. Well I sent you and Pop Pop some balloons today, I asked Pop to let me know you got them so I hope I get a sign tomorrow....We are trying to get new contributors too....so any help you can give us you know we will take it buddy. We got messages, prayers and kind words from so many people Caleb...it is amazing how many people remember you and what day it is today. You truly touched more hearts than I can even count and that is something that makes us all so proud. Not much more to say bud except that I miss you more every day and I hope you and pop pop are making your own memories now. I miss you both so very much and each day I feel like my heart breaks just a little bit more without you here. So you take care of each other and know that one day I will see you both again. Hugs and kisses to you and pop pop and remember .....I will love you to the moon and back again forever.......

Hey my little man here we are again...another month gone by and I can't believe a month from today marks your 8 year anniversary. How is it possible that you have been gone this long already? It seems like only yesterday I was putting you to bed and we were playing hide and seek....do you remember those days caleb??? You were so adorable and fun to have around. You could make PopPop and I laugh and your smile was so enlightening. You could brighten up a room just by entering it. Boy I miss you sweet boy and yet I am so envious that you have pop pop there with you. It's really hard here without him KK.....without both of you but I am so lost without him. I feel like i'm just floating in space with no where to plant my feet. We are working on your fundraiser already, getting donation flyers out so we can hopefully get a jump start on the baskets. Help us to have some good stuff again this year buddy. Need to raise lots of money for lots of people. Well my sweet man I have to get some other work done so i'm gonna go for now. I'll be back soon I promise. Give pop pop a big hug and kiss for me. I love you K to the moon and back for always.....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Gia

Merry Christmas my sweet boy.. another month, another year gone by without you and yet memories of you are only a thought away. In your 2 short years, you gave us more happiness and joy than some people ever experience in a lifetime and when I think about you, I remember your smile, your laughter and the way you could brighten up a room just by entering it. How I miss all of that Caleb... you truly are such a special boy. I hope you and pop pop are taking care of each other until Gia meets up with you both again one day. I miss you both so very much but I find a little comfort knowing that you are both together now and according to my friend...you are one soul.. closer than ever before. Both of you have left in indelible mark on this world and neither will ever be forgotten. There is not a day that goes by that I don't look for signs, hoping you know how much I love you and how often I think about you..remember one very important thing.. I love you to the moon and back forever..xo Gia

This is such a tough month buddy and just makes me miss you both even more. I hope you and Pop pop are getting ready for a big special thanksgiving dinner and we will all be thinking about you and feeling the emptiness of missing you in our hearts. Pleaae take extra care of your mom right now buddy....send her lots of special prayers and xtra hugs and can you give pop pop a really big hug and an extra big squeeze for me today ....this is a really hard time and I am really missing him so much right now ....you have fun with pop pop buddy and know i'm missing you bunches too. We will talk again soon but until them...remember I love you both to the moon and back forever....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo your Gia.
