I know you’re gone from this earth You left me way too soon But I feel your love every time I gaze up at the moon. Sometimes I think I hear A whisper in the wind It sounds as if you’ve called my name As your love to me you send.
Sometimes I do a silly thing And your laughter fills my ears I know you’re right here with me But I can’t see you through my tears. I felt your hand upon my shoulder And I quickly turned to see Visible... you were not But I know you’re here with me.
In the night you sometime come To visit in my dreams My hands go out to touch you But you’re just out of reach it seems. For just a flash you appear Standing close to me Is it just my imagination Or is it really you I see. Even though you’re gone from me And you watch me from above I long for you everyday… And I still feel your love. ~ Charlotte Anselmo ~
Jimmy looking back at the last 33 months I often wonder how I get out of bed each day Life is not the same without you. I miss you more with each passing day. When I see your friends and cousins how they are growing and getting older I think my baby will forever be 20. My time with you was cut so short and sometimes I feel so cheated, but I would not change a thing about our years together as a Mother and a Son. The special bond we shared will always stay in my heart. And yes as the poem says I do feel you stand oh so tall right next to me. You where the son every mother would want a special gift from God to me. And someday my son we will be together again. Keep up the good job of watching over your sister & cousins; they all need you as much as I do.
Loving you always Mom
A true story: Another Jimmy Appearance / Shane Pagnotti (BEST FRIEND ) A few days ago, I decided to do laundry at a friends house. So, I gathered all that was dirty, separated the items into piles. Threw them into the wash, the whole process..
I come to find out that I never checked my pockets before doing laundry. In my pockets were a pack of gum and my wallet.
In my wallet, I always carry a picture of Jim and I from our high school senior semi-formal (2004). This picture was printed off my computer back then and did not have a protective coating on it.
Upon viewing the picture, I realized it was stuck to the back of my business card. Fresh out of the washing machine, I start to peel the picture away from the card to notice that I (Shane) was on the business card and Jim has stayed on the picture.
What is beyond crazy is that all that was left on the original photo, was a circle around his face, untouched, undistorted, unbelievable!
Most would think at this point the picture is worthless and would throw it away. Not me, this possession is now a master piece that he has created!
This is truly a sign that he is with me everywhere I go!
I decided not to carry the same picture with me anymore in case this were to ever occur again. Instead, my girlfriend made me 2 new ones that are both laminated and will not get ruined if they were to get wet.
For all those who pray that Jim is around and hopes that he guides you, I know that he is doing just that!
Another interesting fact is that not one piece of gum ruined any article of clothing. Thanks Jim!

These stories are touching, and these also let all of us who loved him so much know that he is still right here step-for-step. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 HARD MONTHS OF LIVING WITHOUT MY JIMMY / Mom I didn’t know what I should say I asked Dear God to guide my pen He took my hand so it would write And this is what He said
I have your son, I hold him dear He has some work to do He’s been a part of my great plan And see his family through
He will always be beside you Everyday throughout the years And when you’re sad and crying He’ll be there to dry your tears
As you think of his short twenty years He wishes you to smile Your prayers and songs were kinda nice But the angels sing in style
And when you’re walking down the street And Jimmy is on your mind Remember he’s within your heart And not a step behind
When you feel a gentle breeze Or the sun upon your face It’s Jimmy softly whispering Or sneaking a warm embrace
Remember he’s not gone from you He’s come home to ME above P.S. Jimmy sends his LOVE
FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
Jimmy 30 months of missing you, Life is so very hard Without you here. It’s now football season and the Bucks Are #1- You would be so proud. Keep your light shinning bright in my window @ night. I love you Big Guy
Kiss, Kiss,Hug,Hug Mom

My Graduation Card to Jimmy / Mom
Jimmy,
Sunday is graduation day from Lycoming College and as I seat I think about how much you wanted to go there, that was your first choice of schools. I can still hear you say Mom I want to be able to walk around campus and know the person next to me. I want a small college nothing to big. And Dina trying to talk you into a bigger college, maybe in Philly or Stevens College in New York. This is where everything comes to a stop for me because after Graduation I don’t know where your life would take you. Up until now we had a plan. You wanted to finish college so much, it was so important to you, to make Dina and me so proud. You would say to me, don’t worry when I graduate its my turn to take care of you Mom, and get you a nice big house, or Mom if I get married someday you could always live with me, because I would always be your number one. How I miss you just saying to me I Love You Mom. Sometimes I think I should have keep you home for college and not let you go away, maybe if I did that you would still be here with us. I hope there is a graduation in Heaven for all the beautiful angels and that you all shine so bright on your special day. I will focuses on your memory and not think of what could have been for us, because there is no future for you it was all than away from us on that cold winter day on your way back to Lycoming. Jimmy I miss you so very much and I hate waking up everyday, knowing I will not see or hear you again. They say someday we will be reunited, but until that day how am I supposed to live. I love you my special boy. Sending a million kisses and hugs to you always
Forever in Our Hearts Mom

How Could This Be My Life 2 Years without My Son / Mom
One day your happy, your life is filled with joy. One day you wake up, just another day. This day you wake up and it's just not another day. Your get the call you should never receive. Your heart stops dead. Your whole life becomes a blur. The words on the other end of the phone stops your breath. There has been an accident. Your only son is dead. He will never breath again. Your only son will never utter your name. Your only son will never laugh again. Your only son will never say "Mom I Love You". You have lost your son. You will never have a normal day again. Your life is no longer filled with joy. Your life is filled with despair and sadness. Your son was killed. Your happy days have end and now you ask the question WHY?
I ask the same question everyday Why and Where is my baby. How could he be gone from this earth. We had so many plans, what happen to his future. This is the year Jimmy was suppose to graduate from college. Start his life, fill all his dreams maybe some day have a family. It was all taken aways from us 2 years ago and I still don't understand. I never wanted anything in this life but to have my children live life to the fullest. Now I wake up everyday wondering if he is ok, if he needs me. I know I need him so.Forever Young thats what they say My Jimmy will be Forever Young and I will always ask WHY
I Love You Jimmy (Elmo)
2007 Is Over & 2008 Another New Year Withourt My Sweet Jimmy / Mom The Year Before Last
The holiday season is approaching, and with it comes the New Year. Although for me time passes slowly, New Year's Day will ring in quickly.
I dread this New Year's Day because they will look at me in a terribly strange way when I get misty-eyed, and talk about something you had done.
After you first left me, they reasoned when I cried, "Jimmy only been gone a few months." And I would catch that look of understanding in their eyes, and found some comfort that they knew.
But on last New Year's Day, my first thought upon awakening was, Oh God, my Jimmy died last year, not just a few months ago, not even this year, but last year. HE will never live in this year.
They didn't understand, they didn't reason, that last year, for me, the loss was still new. They thought, "It happened last year, so long ago, why does she still cry?" I could see it in their eyes.
This New Year's Day, will it be different? Will my first thought upon awakening be, Oh God, my Jimmy died the year before last, not a few months ago, not this year or even last year, but the year before last? Jimmy will never live in this year.
Will they even listen, should I not look them in the eyes, for fear that I shall see, "Why is she still crying? It happened so long ago. It was the year before last."
Those words that we use to describe the passage of time, a few months, this year, last year, the year before last. They don't know that time stands still for me.
Will they understand that's why I cry? Don't they know My Jimmy just died, the year before last?
Jimmy Here we are at the start of another New Years without you, I ask myself everyday how could this be-This was the year you were to shine. Graduate from college and start your life, all your dreams where waiting for you. Now all we have are beautiful memories and reminders everyday of what should have been. Life will never be the same, and we miss you more and more with each passing day. The only hope I have is that someday soon I will see you and give you all the long awaited hugs and kisses. Take care of Uncle Frank & Popie for us and wait by the gate to greet us with that big smile and your beautiful dimples. I love you my son Forever in My Heart Happy New Years Love Mom
Merry Christmas Jimmy / Mom
Jimmy Can’t send a Christmas Card to Heaven, so I have to write you a note to let you know you are forever loved and missed. I start everyday with a pit in my stomach and an ache in my heart. I try to put a smile on my face when I think of you and try to fill my head with all the precious memories we had together, but my heart is so broken someday its just hard. This is my second Christmas without and I know people say you are always around, but I don’t feel you. Maybe I just can’t get thru the pain of losing you. So I want you to know I wish you a Very Merry Christmas with Jesus, and keep your arm opened wide waiting for me. I miss my son and wish so badly you could just come home.

21 Months of Missing My Jimmy / Mom The memories of all my yesterdays live in my heart, the time that we spent not so long ago where I'll keep our memories forever.
Everyone that meet me knows how very proud I am of you Jimmy and although was so hard and painful we had to let you go.
But now Heaven, somebody is smiling enjoying the happiness that only you could give, with every smile, with every hug. They get to enjoy my son.
And even though you can not be with me, I'm still feeling your presence, Jimmy, because the bond we shared was so strong The love between me & you was so filled
So, I don't believe in good-byes, I'll only say see you soon, because I know that one day you and I will be hugging again. And I will see your beautiful dimples. And hear you say I Love you Mom. So until that day I will stay strong
Always remember how much you are loved & missed. I Love You Jimmy Forever My Beautiful Son
My Jimmy & his beauitful big dimples You are my hero Love Mom
20 Months Of Missing My Jimmy / Mom If I had only known It was the last walk in the rain I'd keep you out for hours in the storm I would hold your hand Like a life line to my heart Underneath the thunder we'd be warm If I had only known It was our last walk in the rain If I had only known I'd never hear your voice again I'd memorize each thing you ever said And on those lonely nights I could think of them once more Keep your words alive inside my head If I had only known You were the treasure in my hand You were the one who always stood beside me So unaware I foolishly believed That you would always be there But then there came a day And I turned my head and you slipped away
If I had only known It was my last night by your side I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn And when you'd smile at me I would look into your eyes And make sure you know my love For you goes on and on If I had only known If I had only known The love I would've shown If I had only known
If I had only know I would have never let you drive that day I would have keep home safe & sound If I had only known I would never hear your voice again I would have never hung up the phone If only I had know, I go thru this everyday in my mind What would I do difference. I would have said No Jimmy Just stay home I miss you so much and I just wish I was there for you If I had only known how much we need you here. If I only said No
I play this song over & over again in my head and every word is so true. If I had only know you where going to be taken away from me that day. I love you Jimmy and Miss you so very much Love Mom
19 Months of Weaving Thru Life Without Jimmy / Mom Jimmy its 19 months today since you left, I knew every seconds that you are gone. People can always say OMG is it really that long or other people may forget that you were even here. I will never forget my beauitful son, I found this pray in my desk draw today, I use to say this everyday for years when I though our life was tough little did I know life was so easy than. Everyday I think I feel you walking beside me, and than I look around and there is a voice I don't recognize. I listen to songs on the radio, because they say you try to reach us thru song. Maybe I just pull away and I don't let you through. I read books that say listen , feel and I will find you, but I don't. Whats wrong with me? Maybe this pain I feel is so strong that nothing can get thru to me. Jimmy I only want you to be happy, free and enjoy your new life in Heaven. I know you are with all our loved ones and now you have Uncle Frank. So my sweet wonderful son have a beauitful day in Heaven and please, help me thru my tears. I will always miss what we had and treasure our 20 years as a mother and son .I Love you so much. Love Mom
THE WEAVER My Life is but a weaving Between my God and me; I may not choose the colors He knows what they should be For He can view the pattern Upon the upper side, While I can see it only On this, the under side. Sometimes He weaveth sorrow, Which seemeth strange to me; But I will trust His judgment And work on faithfully; 'Tis He who fills the shuttle, He knows just what is best; So I shall weave in earnest And leave with Him the rest. At last, when life is ended, With Him I shall abide, Then I may view the pattern Upon the upper side; Then I shall know the reason Why pain with joy entwined, Was woven in the fabric Of life that God designed. Grant Colfax Tullar
OMG Jimmy as I was just getting done with this the song Sunny Days came on the radio, And yes I do believe Sunny Days hurt the most I LOVE YOU MY JIMMY
18 Months of Living Hell without My Jimmy / Mom Jimmy
I look around and it all feel so wrong that all I have of you is memories and pictures sitting in frames.How could you walk out that door with a smile and be so full of life and the next thing I get is a knock at my door telling me my Jimmy is dead How could that be?
That laugh, the smile, the I love you always a big hugyou filled up my world, my time, and my mind.I can't look forward to the future, you see because that future used to be you Dina & me. How can I ever really live again when in my heart is just broke into two one for you & one for Dina.I know in my heart Jimmy that you'd want me to be happyto live life to the fullest, like you did, I wish I could.
I love you Jimmy, you were the best son I could have ever asked for, I thank God that he let me be your mom, for the 20 great years we had together. I will love it when it’s my time to go just to see your beautiful dimples and feel the love I know you had for me. But for now I have to be here for your beautiful sister Dina and hold her up .I know how hard it is for her, you were her world and she loved her little brother. My heart is so broken and sad.I miss you my handsome son, and so does Dina, all your family & friends. Our world will never be the same, because the one that had such a strong presences is gone. Gone forever more.
So wait by the gates for me with Uncle Frank Popie & Nonie and I will live each day waiting until we are reunited again.
I Love Jimmy MOM (Forever Your Mother)
17 Months of Living Without My Jimmy / Mom Until I See My Jimmy Again
Each morning when I awake I know that Jimmy is gone. And no one knows the heartache As I try to carry on.
MY hearts still ache with sadness and many tears still flow. What it meant to lose Jimmy No one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with Jimmy your place no one can fill. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.
There will always be a heartache, and often a silent tear, But always a precious memory Of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase, And heartaches make a lane, I'll walk the path to heaven And bring Jimmy home again.
I hold you close within my hearts, And there you will remain, To walk with me throughout this life Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, And nothing will be the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again
Jimmy you were the sun that shined Each and everyday, so now I walk my days Filled with tears & a broken heart. Everyday I try to remind myself I’m on day Closer to being with you forever more
I love you my son Miss My Jimmy Love Always Mom
16 Months Without My Jimmy / Mom Sunday was your 22nd birthday and today is 16 months since you left this earth to be in a better place they say. My question how could there be a better place than being with your family and friends who all miss you so much and need you here to help get thru everyday. Sunday was a beautiful day in your honor I know how proud you would be of your sister she did a great job. Over 100 people showed up to golf and about 40 more for the dinner. Everyone tells me they knew you were with them and could feel your presents. I think to myself how could you be there I can’t see your face or touch you. I miss you more and more as time goes on and I think I’m still living a dream that you are just on a vacation or maybe you where never here. Things are just so difference, I can’t pray any more as I feel that’s all wrong, why would a loving God take my son away and leave all of us here to walk this road of pain and sorrow. I can’t even go to church I feel lost there as if I don’t belong. The first year after you left I went to church everyday and walked away with peace now all I do is cry. And over and over again WHY. Your clothes still set in your room and most of your stuff is still where you left it. Just waiting for you to come home and yell Hey Mom I’m home what’s to eat? I would give anything just to hear your voice. I lay in bed at night hoping to hear your car pull in the driveway and listen for your footsteps sneaking in the house. I just wish everyday for one more days with you. You will always be my special son Jimmy and when my time is ready to go I will never fight it I will just leave with peace in my heart knowing I will see you again. Please watch over your sister she needs you, you were always the younger one, but you always toke care of her like the big brother. I Love Jimmy, Forever you will live in my Hearts
15 Months of Living WIthout JImmy / Mom Jimmy you left us 15 months ago today and I still don’t understand WHY or how this could have happen to my beautiful son. I miss you so much, I just want to hear you say I love you Mom thoses were the last words you said to me that cold February day, when we hung up the phone. How I wish we stayed on the phone for longer, how I wish I could turn the clock back to 2 O’clock and just stop. Life goes on , but everyday is so difference People keep staying it will get better, How your not here, You are missing out on the best years of your life. When I see your friends or other boys your years I die over and over again, thinking Jimmy should be here and doing all these thing, This was your time to shine. I Miss you so and think of you every second of the day. Your were my hero always. So I hope you are ok and everyday I ask Please just let me know where you ares and are you happy. Everyday is one day closing to seeing you again and this is how I live my life now. Not looking forward to tomorrow, but looking to the day I can be with you Forever Missing You Jimmy Mom
