Nicky/ Aunt Amy Fox (aunt) Nicky, It seems hard to believe that its been a year. Halloween is coming and I always think of you in the Ninja Turtle outfit. Nicknardo! I still have it from when Kegan and Mac wore it. I wonder if Jameson would like to wear it this year? I know that would make you laugh. We miss you buddy. You smile is a vacancy in our lives. Mac reminds me so much of you. I think sometimes he has some of your spirit. Your gentle way. Your cousins miss you. Jameson looks at the picture of all the cousins and asks about each of you. I tell him often of the guy you were. He loves the pics I have of the last day we were together as a family at the lake, you guys were playing football. He's a sport nut Nick. Everything is a ball to be thrown. I hear you laughing! I know, I know, "let him play Aunt Amy, he wont get hurt...much!" But does it have to be football Nicky? Golf is good. We miss you so much and wish you were with your mom still. Please look over her Nicky. She misses you so much. I love you, Aunt Amy

Remembering/ Lauren Whiteford (Friend)
Its really hard for me to write something beacuse im not sure what to say. You were my little brother...you always found a way to make me smile and to make me laugh (and i think everyone will agree with me on that.) I remember us sitting there watching the steelers games and arguing over who was the better player...but im still right its always been hines! As i sit here reading all of these entries i can really see how much of an impact you made on everyones life that you came into contact with, everyone loves you and you will always be in all of our hearts. My prayers and thoughts are with your family right now because i know that this is going to be a extremely hard time for them and i wish there was something more i could do...i just want the varrenti family to know that i love them and all of my prayers and wishes are with them. I will see you another time Nicky and you better have that awesome smile on your face!
Dedication/ Hannah Taggart (friend) Nick,
We all miss you soo much. Especially now that its football season, its like last year all over again. The balloon ceremony and dedication went great. A balloon got stuck on the fence and i knew you would have laughed at that. You still make me laugh...just because i remember what you did and what you would have done. Lion tamer, we will always be thinking of you!
Heartaches/ Amanda Fritz (Friend) Nicky~ Hey babe we miss ya so much down here...as a year closes in on us its still just as hard! I think about you everyday and ur face is forever in my mind!!! I donno how i would have made it through lunch everyday of my senior year with out your jokes!!! I love you Nicky and we need your love to keep us going!!! I saw some of the boys from the team yesterday and they still look lonely without you! Though I can't make it home Saturday for your service be sure that I will be there tomorrow for the game!!!! Hold their heads up high as they play their hearts out for you!!! We all know you will be there...where else would you be!!! Much luv Nicky as always!!! love Fritz
hey boy, well its that time again and i keep thinkin i should be at your game on friday ... the boys have been hangin out lately and i keep lookin around for you to come through the door or listening for your laugh when andy does something stupid. it seems like after a year we "should all be getting over it" but it almost seems like its getting worse. i dont know how im supposed to miss you like this for the rest of my life. i see all the guys growing and getting older and i cant stop wondering how this year wouldve changed you. i cant stop picturing the empty spot in gabes groomsmen line where you should be standing or wondering how the boys could possibly play without you this year. kt and i are havin a hard time keepin it together knowin you should be up there with us on friday (altho if gabe had scheduled his wedding on a friday you would prolly choose to be out on that field instead, lol). i just miss you so much bubba i wish i knew why this happened...... i love you and ill see you when i get there.....
Everyday/ Tim Frye (Friend)

gabes b-day / Megs Varrenti (big sister ) so it officially gabes birthday and im wishin you were here to make him laugh or crack jokes with him. he just doesnt seem the same without you around. he needs his sidekick. ive been thinkin about you more everyday, it was ok for a while, but as it gets closer to the wedding it seems more and more obvious that youre not here. i wish you could be here with me and kt, sittin down at uncle bobs and talkin about the state of everything. it seems like youre always lurkin just around the corner, but i can never seem to catch you...... you were always too quick for me. i love you bubba and know that youre around when we need you, i just wish it would stop hurting so much!
A hug for you.... / JoAnn Nichols (friend and coworker ) dear ones, i loved the picture of indian nick and nick car......that smile brought me right back to the days at the restaurant when he'd break out in a big smile at something i or someone else said.....he had that wonderful child-like spirit that was so easy to love and embrace. it is important that i give you all my love and support as i lost my niece at 16 years old from a drunk driver and my daughter, her cousin, who was 15 at the time, still misses her. it's the sudden "gone away" that takes ones breathe away. there is never any reason for the losses in this life and i know how much you love nicky....he was one of those special people to all who knew him. i miss him for you and i am happy he had the love of such a terrific family while he was here on this earth. i pray his life will continue to bring great love and special moments for all of you. i love you very much varrenti family. thank you for sharing nick with me for a little while. i'll be back to visit this site again. take care..........i picture nick playing cowboys and indians somewhere in the land of glory!!!!! or driving the hottest car available..!!!!!!!!!!..
missing you / Megan Varrenti (big sister ) hey buddy....
cory came over tonight. showed dad his new motorcyle. you would love it, it looks exactly like capt. americas bike, haha. he drove dads new truck around for a minute and i swear i could see you in the passenger seat. ive been missing you so much lately and i know cory is tryin to hang out with me and dad cause he wants to make sure were ok. its just too hard to see him sometimes. he misses you so much bubba. him and dad hung out for a while outside, i gave them some time to talk. dad is not tryin to push your friends away i just think it hurts him too much to think hes not gonna see you grow up like hes seeing them grow. cory is doin ok, he has his days just like the rest of us but hes startin to be a lil better each time i see him. i talked to erk today too, i miss him alot and wish he was closer. hes workin his ass off for football and i know he thinks of you everytime he touches that field. were goin to the pirate game with everyone tomm and i know chris and andrew wish you were there to hang out with them instead of stupid old me. i just wish you were here in general..... even if you were hating me this week it would be better than this feeling i have without you here. i was just missin you and even tho i know youre around sometimes i wanted to let you know whats goin on with everyone... i love you bubba

But i know the pain will last forever. There is so many young people on here i cant understand what is going on. The team nick played with retired his number too.number 11 Thank you for writing on web site. god be with you.
I Love You / Momma Buddy Boy, It's been a year since you were here with KT, Gabe and I. The memories of last year at this time, have been almost more than I can bear. Remembering the time you spent working with me, Gabe, Aunt Sue and Michael D., trying to talk me into letting you drive the Mustang, fourth of July fireworks in our driveway, movies with your cousins, torturing your sister and Jack, picnics at the beach, watching wildboys and listening to you laugh...... Getting glimpses of the man you were becoming and thinking about how proud I was to have you for a son. Not a Sunday morning goes by without me wishing my phone will ring with your ID. I miss talking to you; telling me how your week has been, what fun things you have done with your friends and Dad, how school is going, and that you love me. "Momma, Do You Love Me"... always and forever
So i dont know if its because summer is comming and this is when you would come visit mom and I or what, but i am missing you so bad it literally hurts! Maybe its because its finally summer and sunny here and I just feel like it shouldn't be i feel like my life is one big rainy thunderstorm. If feels more comfortable to me when its rainy cuz then when i look around it matches how i feel inside. Nicky D i really need your strength you are the strongest, bravest, most wonderful person i have ever met. You are my guardian angel and i am so lucky. I dont get why he picked you why you had to leave why we are missing YOU so bad why couldnt it be me i am your older sister you should be missing me! But things happened and theres nothing i can do so nick I promise for you and for myself i am going to kick my life into gear. I am going to do something worth living for i am going to make my life worth it! I cant wait till i get to see you again. Save a good spot for me. Youll be the person i am running to! Nick i love ya baby brother and lifes feels pretty shitty right now, but i know things will get better. I just want my heart to stop hurting for you. Will it ever? I got a kitten lol i know you hate cats but i think you liked beauty you just didnt want anyone to know. Shes probally up there with you right now laying at the end of your bed! My kitten looks just like her i love her she doesnt have a name yet but i'll name her soon. I'll think about you this weekend when we are at the beach playing football. Take it easy buddy and look after daddy hes having a hell of a time! We love you and i'll see ya when i get there.
birthday commmin up/ Megs Varrenti (big sister) ok buddy so its the night before my birthday and all i keep thinking about was how much shit you gave me last year and how you kept telling me how close i was to thirty. well im one year older now... almost half way to 30 and i cant stop wishing that you were here to tease me even more this year. i dont understand how its allready been 8 months. it just doesnt seem right that everyone around us keeps going on with their lives and youll never have another birthday. ill never get the chance to tease you about almost being 30 or try to convince you to take a drink on your 21st birthday (even though we all know that you wouldnt have). i dont understand why i cant seem to get over you not being here but i am just asking you now for some help and strength tommorrow. its been rough on every holliday without you.... you always loved birthdays and celebrations so much. i just want you to know that every minute of everyday i miss you even more and i cant wait till i can spend one of these special days with you...... i love you buddy boy!
i'm missing you dude!/ Chris Ranallo (cousin and friend) Nick, I really miss how we got to up my camp and hang out. I miss going to Central games, and playing football, and going to my dads on a friday and watchin a movie. I'll never forget the time when you had your beard and Drew kept calling you Abraham Lincolin or the time when we were up camp and Gabe convinced us there was a bear in the outhouse and we got scared and told our parents. LOL. Missing you dude. Chris
