I miss you so much my brother. I think of you every single moment of every single day. This has been so very hard for me. I love you with all my heart. I hope you know how much I love you

It was an honor to have known you. With that honor comes a responsibility for me to pass on all of you that I came to know to all of those who did not get the chance to know you. Future generations of Vannicolo, or anyone interested in hearing about a great man. It is a privilege to bear your name as my own, I will do my best to do it proud. Most of all, it has been a pleasure to have spent the time with you that I did, to have been able to provide a place for you to rest your head at night while you were not well, to have made a hot meal for you when you needed sustainance, to have made it possible for you to get to wherever you needed to go, by car or by plane, and to have been able to ease your mind that in your absence I will look after your boys for you. I will love them fiercely and always have their backs. I will do my best to keep them in line and keep them safe, just as you would've. I love you, Big Tony.

Hey Uncle Tony, Its wierd how i no longer feel like i know what to do in life. I'm trying to move on but its so much harder then i ever thought. I miss getting up everymorning and going to visit u and staying with u until it was time for me to go home n get some sleep, I came to arizona like i promised u i would but its not fun like i was hopping. The best part out of coming heres the way i feel happy being around the rest of the family. The way i was hopeing me n mary would get to know eachother isnt working out the way i wanted and its turning me away. I think u wanted me here so myself and the rest of the family would become close again and trust me its working. I had to come to arizona because when im home i feel so lost! I have no idea what to do anymore and was starting to stay in my apartment way to much. Although its nice to be out doing something i would give anything for things to go back to the way they used to be. I miss u more than could ever be said. Everyone's just happy to know the pain is over for you and we know ur in a happy place now. I'm just waiting until the pain of u leaving will go away for me. I miss u uncle tony "Goodnight i I'll see u tomarrow, love you!"
