3 Poems for Nicholas Too Soon, Too Soon This doesn't feel real, This was not how this was suppose to happen Gone from the world. Too soon,too soon You were loved, you know that? You always brought smiles to our faces. Gone from the world. Too soon.too soon You treated your friends like family, Cause That's what we were. You called me big sis,

4 Gone from the world. Too soon.too soon You came to me every time you had something new to tell me, How excited you would get when something good happened, the progress you were making. How proud you made us. Gone from the world. Too soon.too soon The laughs and tears we shared You Always had my back too. Gone from the world. Too soon.too soon You had a way of listening and genuinely caring But you didn't know your worth like you should have. Gone from the world. Too soon.too soon Now we are left with so many unanswered questions what if's and whys, now that you're Gone from the world. Too soon.too soon The only thing I know for certain is that the memories I have, I will cherish forever, I will miss you Lil bro I know you're still here But you were Gone from the world. Too soon.too soon Rest Peacefully Darlin, by:d.castellano Conflicting modification on August 18, :36:29 PM: Your Im gonna miss your hugs, Im gonna miss your laugh, But I know that you are on a better path Im gonna miss our talks And the delivery runs

5 And all your parties, they were always fun Im gonna miss our fights Together the tears we shed Im gonna miss finding you passed out in Antonio's bed. Im gonna miss watchin Giants games together Im gonna miss your ginny tees in 20 degree weather Im gonna miss your stubbornness, that stupid noise you made with the dip, your sly ways and your oh so cleaver tips, Like filling the vodka bottle up with water as if your mom wouldnt notice, After seeing pics of a billion ppl over, Im gonna miss your protective nature, Your video game needs, Im gonna miss your spit bottles of sunflower seeds, Im gonna miss the way you used to say "shit sonnn" im gonna miss your rangers obsession, tho the devils always won, Im gonna miss halloween, and giving you all my popcorn balls, but its your smile bro, that ill miss most of all. Im gonna miss the flash shirt, that shit was epic, Im gonna miss our guido song, and how you frolicked when I played it. im gonna miss your calls And your speedy fast texts, Im gonna miss your pit stains everytime you flexed. Im gonna miss your face And our moments together May you Rest in Peace my Friend, To lil brother, love big sister by:d. Castellano Past Thought about you a lot today It's been 5 months but there's still so much I have to say Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind I try to smile and pretend I'm fine I sit back and watch as these kids go by Following that path and I don't know why

6 You left our world far too fast Moments stand still yet the time has past These memories I hold close at hand Though we know the facts I still don't understand I wish that then you weren't alone But God brought his angels to carry you home I know that you are in a better place Just know these months drag on without your face I know that your spirit is all around I've lost the anger, now it's faith I've found Cuz Lil bro, life is never the end The next you'll see me, I'll have wings my friend by: D. Castellano

32 Condolences from the deepest of our hearts...

33 Mom Death is nothing at all... February 28, 2013 I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that is always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. by-canon Scott Holland ( ) Nick's Mass Card Afterglow February 23, 2013 I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when a day is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny day. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun Of happy memories that I leave behind when day is done. Nicholas Caprglione April 9, 1991-August 18, 2012 Nancy Tesoriero A Hopi Prayer by Mary E. Frye February 19, 2013 Do not stand at my grave & weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

34 I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of queit white doves in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave & cry, I am not there, I did not die ~ Hendrick Polanco My deepest condolences February 7, 2013 My deepest condolences. May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief... John 11: And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: Where have YOU laid him? They said to him: Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: See, what affection he used to have for him! 37 But some of them said: Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying? 38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: TAKE the stone away. Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days. 40 Jesus said to her: Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God? 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth. 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: Laz a rus, come on out! 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go. 45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

36 Memories all the gray you turned into colors...

37 Mom Remember when we'd go on rides together and watch the Lord of the Rings a thousand times, Remember when we'd go to the park or joke around all the time, Remember playing in the yard or race swimming and begging me to watch the Underworld Movies, which I've come to love. Although i can't seem to find anyone who will go see the "Hobbit" w/ me, but i know you'll be sitting right with me enjoying the greatness of Tolkien. There are so many wonderful memories Nick, they can go on forever, I can write for an eternity about your life. I was talking w/ Dee the other day about when you first watched the movie "Signs" and the part when you first see the Alien walking past a door and Joaquin Phoenix was flipping out in that part of the movie and you constantly re-played that part of the Alien walking past the door for everyone, we all died laughing cuz it was so funny and you did it exact, thank you for that memory and the millions that you gave us in the short life you were with us. I will never question your continuing love and presence, you are as much a part of my life as the air i breath and i will not fear your loss for you are a part of me always. Never will i allow your addiction define the Great person you were and your story will be told for generations to come in hopes of saving many lives. When God asked you to be a part of a bigger plan, I know you bravely stepped up and did what he had asked in a heartbeat, that is who you were in life, that is who you are in death, that is why your spirit is so strong and that is why your passing has touched thousands. Loving you always...mom I can still hear you quoting Step Brothers - "I don't want my picture taken right now" "I think I'm gonna throw up"- probably because I made you say it over and over again and it never got old. Same as when you were happy during a Rangers game and you would do that high pitched "Wooooooo!" that had me in tears. You always had a way of doing that, having me in tears from laughter. That's why it was so easy to just BUM OUT on your couch with you day after day, while your mom would tell us we should go for a walk; you were my partner in laziness and I wouldn t have wanted to spend my days with anyone else. As long as I was with you I was happy, regardless of the circumstances. Like when we spent the entire day at St.

38 Claire s- we made such a boring and disappointing day into one of my favorite memories with you (granted we had some help from that Schizophrenic lady who rolled over to us in her wheel chair with her stuffed bunny/baby claiming she knew me- I was so terrified and you were cracking up at me of course)..and you did your lovely drawing of Goku too which I of course saved. You were my best friend, my other half, and you still are and always will be Nick. I love you and I miss you every second of every day, but the memories we made will keep a smile on my face and the warmth of your beautiful soul in my heart. dee You should know that your life mattered and that the world around you was changed because you passed this way. I am wrapped now in your memories and your essence. I feel lost in tears of disbelief, your participation in my life was a treasure beyond words and i hope you feel my appreciation. I see so many things that remind me of you, how very deeply you touched my heart. My disbelief that you are gone mingles with the memories of your smile, your gestures, and the things that meant so much to you. Your life surrounded and enriched mine and those close to you in so many ways. You will always have a home in my heart. Here life goes on, but i remain one step removed. Losing you touched my soul. I hope when the memories of your life here rise in your heart, you feel a smile a fondness, and a pride that you were part of all this. I may not understand, but i honor that you have been called to the side of TH GREAT ONE. NICK I CARRY YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER IN ALL THAT IS DEAREST TO ME. LOVE YOU PRECIOUS NICKY. dee, ant kat.bella i think sometimes a persons spirit is so strong that it never completely leaves the earth but remains scattered forever among all those who love them. Each of us leaves a thumbprint on the world, a record that we were here and who we were and what we did.nick you left your everything with all of us your beautiful heart and soul this world will never forget you. we all love you so much. Alicia

39 Nick, not a day goes by that I don't think about you.

Nick, You always had a ray of sunshine shining around you. You are so greatly missed by your family and friends but your sunshine lives on with the impact your short life made and the love you brought to all the people who were lucky enough to have met you. May you continue to share your love and light from above and especially with those who need you the most. We miss you painfully. I will always remember your big heart! To the most charming guardian angel to have entered heaven.. with all of my love.. debbie.

40 Jude Nick, remember when we went out to shovel the driveway for mom and dad and you pulled back mom's car then started to shovel crazy mad...lol...then you remember you asked me if I wanted to pull mom's car back in the driveway and I was like 11 yrs old and i said "sure" then you kept the driver's side door open so you can watch me and told me to gently release the break but nothing happened and we were laughing, so then you said "ok GENTLY press the gas" then i pressed on the gas and i went flying down the driveway with the driver's side door still open...you came flying down and slammed your body right into the door and you said "what the heck happened" and then we just lauged our heads off, it was so funny Nick, I couldn't have asked for a funnier, protective and loving brother ever, you were #1 and you will always be with me, you will never be gone no matter what...i love you always...jude! On snowy days like today I am reminded of watching the snow fall with you. Also can t help but think of getting snowed in at your house and your mom making us pancakes in the morning. It was so funny the one time when you were trying to pull your snowed in car out of the driveway to take me home and you were like I got this, I got this but you clearly didn t so then your dad had to get in the car and easy as 1, 2, 3 he pulled the car out. Or how about the time I was standing out by the car and you came running around the side of the house, snow ball in hand, ready to throw it at me, and you wiped out on a patch of ice.. we couldn t stop laughing. We never could stop laughing when we were together. You were an extraordinary person Nick.. Like I would always tell you, there was something special about you I just couldn t put my finger on. I will love you always and forever. Robin Z Nick I know you through alll the stories your mom shared with me throughout your HS years...hockey, football, baseball, girls. She is so proud of you. She will forever keep your spirit alive. Show her a sign that you are still with her.

41 Not a day goes by that I don't think about your smile and laugh and how much you loved your family, you will forever be with me. I will always remember the brotherly love you showed to Jude like playing in the snow making snowballs, playing x-box, watching movies, wrestling and scaring mom while i was cooking:) you are missed every second of everyday, thank you for BEING, i never loved so deeply or so unconditional, and i never cried the rivers I have cried for you my Love. It seemed in the blink of an eye you were with me and in a blink of an eye I will be with you again...with all my love, heart and soul...mom Dad Nick my dear Son i think and talk to you every day, i missed watching the Giants and Rangers with you, and how much knowlege you have in sports, and missing you playing hockey with your big heart and leadership you will always be with me and we will always be together i missed you very much, i love you with all my heart and our memories of you will always be forever. Justin I'll never forget the pizzas and calzones we made with Steve-O. Laughing over sweaty pasta salad until we had tears in our eyes. I've never laughed harder with anyone in my life. Man, watching American Horror Story late night in my cabin yelling like girls, peeking out the windows in the darkness, scared. The happiness we shared clean and sober. Good shit. I'll always remember those times as I continue on my path. me. Love you, buddy. I found out about your death while in treatment again. I wanted to run and kill the pain. Those who loved you helped each other and got through it. I think of you often and will hold your spirit within

42 dee nick i picked you to be godfather to my daughter because who better than you i hope bella will have the same heart and soul you did, if she does how lucky will i be. i will forever see you through bellas eyes. you were the best cousin and you are truly missed i will never forget you and i will spend everyday telling bella how wonderful you were and how lucky she is to have you as a guardian angel, how lucky we all are. rest in peace nicky. we will love you forever. aunt kat nick my beautiful nephew you and i had a bond that will never be broken no matter what. the memories of you i will hold in my heart forever. i will miss you forever and there will not be a day that goes by i dont think of you. the world will never know a person better than you. rest now my sweet angel nick. Mom We took you to Disney so many times and you loved them each and every time, your smiles there and the rides you went on with Aunt Betty and Uncle Rocky, you will always be with us at Disney, in our hearts, dreams and prayers.
