Stefano
as you are soaring higher than all of us you left a piece of your beauty behind to help us fill the immense void we now feel in our hearts. We remember you as the most gentle, kind and generous soul, always and inevitably stunned by your grace and compassion for others. In our struggle to see why you left we lovingly salute you
and thank you for briefly touching our lives and for this gift of beauty you so kindly handed us.
Our love for you now has a permanent home in our hearts, it will guide us through our difficult path to be one day reunited.
Please watch over us and most importantly rest peacefully my child.
Love
Dad

"It wil soon be two months.. I miss you each and every day.. I will never forget you. Mom"
"I cannot express the gratitude of everyone speaking and turning up for my baby. Regardless of his size , he was my little foot as I'd often called him. I couldn't speak not because of bravery but out of love.. I wanted only the best and could not take away from that.. I could pontificate on a coin of the stories emotions and times we'd shared.. words are simply a way to go to the next point. Everyone was better than me.. I don't wish but only the best for everyone... therefore, the precedence of he and I and his father and all relatives are essential. Friends maybe more. But we all have learned from his life. I have learned to be kinder and more patient. It will take me years to become ok. I have suffered a broken heart. I am watching a film about a bird, "Paulie" he understood at 3 the concept.. I wish only love and happiness for all.. his life was everthything to us"
"Bryne and Luca, My heart aches with you both. I will always remember your sweet boy as a happy, kind, hilarious little guy with a huge smile and a twinkle in his eye. His infectious laughter could melt anyone's heart! I didn't know Stefano as a man, only as a beautiful child. I remember him so vividly from our trips together to Corfu, Bari, Baltimore and our visits to one another in NY and PA. Stefano and our boys had so much fun playing Pokemon, making crazy videos, and climbing up and down the hills of Kerkira with Nerf water guns playing war, and running around that crazy boat. And the day he was stung by some creature on the beach with his poor little ear swelling to 4X its normal size--and he without one tear! Stefano was such a good friend and I will always remember him as this full of joy, wide-eyed boy. I hope that when you think of him, you can still hear his giggles and that they give you some small bit of comfort. I am so deeply sorry for your profound loss. Love, Linda"
"He was my sister's boy. I didn't have much time with Stef, but was fortunate to have a week with him in Hawaii many years ago. I found Stephano a loving, caring considerate young man. Stef was a wide-eyed, adventurous spirit. I liked him right away and as an uncle loved him. I thank what time I had with Stef and will remember him fondly. Love to you Stef, Uncle Mark from NZ "
"Many fond memories, Stefano. Like when I first visited you in New Jersey while a medical intern in The Bronx. Having a "go" on your tiny body with my newfound Osteopathic skills. That time you were on your Pikachu kick visiting me in the Central Coast of California. Not sure who was more cute...you or Pikachu at the time ;) You will always hold a special place in my heart little one, and when it's MY time to cross that veil of eternity, look forward to hearing you call my name like when I came to pick you up from school in New York as a child of 6 or 7: "Here comes my Uncle David...my Uncle David is coming...he's coming to get me now everybody...here he is...it's really him!" Love and Light to you forever l'il buddy...Your Uncle David. "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly" --Richard Bach 1936"
"My dear Stefano, God had a better plan for you to take you so soon from us. We had so many fun and beautiful memories of you while you were growing up in NY. You were like a son to me and a brother to Niko and Tommy. Now all we can do is hold in to those memories in our hearts forever. Heaven has gained one sweet and funny Angel! Speed those wings my Stef!! You will forever be in my heart!! Love you, Alex"
"Stefano , you were and are my shining star.. my little prince.. you are sleeping and at peace.. you changed my life and will continue to be cherished forever. I love you eternally. Love you steffi. Love your mom "
