Rino,
Boy are you ever missed bud!!! But I am writting to you to ask that you give your mother some kind of peace and let her know that she is alright. She just needs a push from her baby. You know your mother that she is lost without you and she needs that push to not get on with her life BUT to know that you are alright with everything and she needs to do to go on.. I know this is asking sooo much from you but you know your mother, she doesn't know life without her Ryan in it and I feel that if you gave her the push then she would know that she is doing the right thing cuz you know Ryan is ALWAYS right!!! BUT only when you feel it is right for you. I love and miss you buddy so much and I know I am asking alot from you but we both know that she needs this for her and from you!!!
I love you Ryan

Ryan, I miss you so very much BUT I know you are ALOT better now. There is not more pain in the back-legs-ankles no were. I know you are with your brothers and Grandma but if I man comes up to you that you don't know and talks to you it is my dad Dan. I'm telling you this cuz I have asked him to help if you need it. You and my dad are alot alike and I think you two will get along just fine. By the way Happy New Year and man Rino This will be a new begin for both you and your mother. I know you are watching over her, Paul, & Jack and they all need it. Yesterday was hard for everyone but everyone knows that you are in alot better place then we are for real. I just ask one thing from you Mr Melone other than to enjoy and be happy in your better life. Just keep and eye on your mom-Paul & Jack to get through this and to kepp them on the right track. Mr Melone, you always deserve the best Ryan and you had here with your mom (she is the very best mom in the world) and now there. We all miss you so very much Ryan but we know you are better there and I never want to ever think you are for gotta cuz to the ones that you touched - you tounched for life in our heart - in our mind - in our souls till we see again.
I LOVE YOU RYAN
