From Those Who Care

Hey Seth,

I am so sorry about your friends Geno and John, I know that you must be suffering right now more than anybody. I just don't want you to feel like you're alone, because we are all suffering with you. If there was anything at all that I could do to make this any easier on you, I would do it. Just hang in there, because believe it or not, you will get past this and things will get better eventually. I heard that you've transferred out of Prouty. I wish you hadn't, but I know that it will be easier for you to move on that way. We're all waiting for you to come back to work, because we miss you. I can't even imagine what you must be going through, this all must be so overwhelming. But don't you give up, everyone is counting on you to pull through this, and so am I. I'm right here if you ever need someone to talk to. There is a lot of things going around and you've probably heard all the rumors, but please don't believe all of it. I know that's the last thing you need right now. I'm on your side one hundred percent, as are your friends, Geno and John. and you'll always be in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong, you will get through this, ;).

<3 Meg F.t;3 Meg F.

I don't even really know what to say. I didn't know any of the guys that well, but my thoughts and prayers are with them and their families. I remember the first time I ever saw john, it was hard not to notice those sparkly bright blue eyes and that gorgeous smile...thats the way i will always remember him. He just seemed like the nicest kid. And Geno...i didn't know you that well at all, but from all the stories I've heard along with the pictures, you seem like the kind of kid that everyone could get along with and that everyone loved. I would have loved to have had the chance to get to know you. Seth- my thoughts and prayers are also with you...you've got some rough times ahead of you, but I hope you know that everyone is here for you. No one blames you for anything, there is a reason they are called accidents, even if the reason is unfair and doesn't make sense, you have a rather large community behind you and supporting you 110 percent!!! As for the families and friends of all the boys...my deepest sympathies go out to you...when they said only the good die young, they were definitely right...just remember we may have lost two friends...but we all gained two guardian angels...we will never forget either of you~jess gilliam~

John and Geno

hey john- i didnt know you that great, but you sat behind me in fifth grade -you always made me laugh with your jokes, and you had the most amazing eyes. at my birthday party we went roller skating and you cracked me up..you and chels were perfect. i'm still in shock that this happened, because you were a good kid, and a really good football player. i miss you, even though we hadnt spoken since 7th grade, and my thoughts are with you and your family. we love you. geno-i didnt know you but i can tell how much you meant to everyone. i always saw you in the hallway on my way to math and now i dont. you will be greatly missed. i guess i will meet you someday. seth-i dont know you either, but you always make me smile when you called out "hey ladies!" to me and the girls at lunch...youre a good kid and i have so much respect for you. stay strong. im sorry this had to happen this way. my heart is with you.
to the families and friends of these 3 remarkable boys, including courtney, chels, and trav..we're all here to help you get thru this. i feel for you and my thoughts are with all of you. always, laura

i didnt know John or Geno but i knew Seth... i feel so bad, i couldnt imagine living threw this.. and this is so sad.. John and Geno.. watch over everyone and everyone loves you and misses you a lot Seth you are a great kid and im sorry this had to happen.. everything will be okay... this is so sad.. :'( i love you all

For those who suffer:

Do not stand at their graves and weep,
They are not there; They do not sleep.
They are ten thousand winds that blow.
They are the diamond glints of snow.
They are the light on ripened grain.
They are the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in morning hush,
They are the swift, uprising rush,
of quiet birds in circling flight.
They live in stars that shine at night.
So do not stand at their graves and cry.
They are not there; They did not die.

- A friend

Geno.......u dont kno how much we miss you.......ur the nicest cuz that i probly have.....i juss cant believe ur actually gone.....now instead of walking into a party of 200, there will only be 199.....ily!

~~a family member~~

I dont even know where to start. I have been putting this off for a while to write to you guys because i have been so upset through the whole thing. Geno i dont know what to say you were such a wise guy but i think thats why people loved you so much. you had alot going for you. Good luck where you are now and always remember i kicked your butt at beer pong! i love you.
John- you were a great football player always coming over my house and palying football with my brother. hitting my car with basketballs. you also had a lot going for you. you were a great kid and we a re all going to miss you! Good luck cutie.
Seth- i promise you, your gonna get through this, you have a lot of support from everyone and i hope you come back to school, i would really love to see you. Dont worry your gonna make it sweetie i promise.
Love always
Kelly LeBeau

Geno & John

i cant believe you guys are gone...why now?? why ever?? its hard to explain the pain that everyone is feeling after this extreme loss we have all had to endure. David Prouty High will never be the same without yous. i remember the fun times in history class with geno last year...he was always happy. i also remember being up at luther watching john skateboard with all his boys :) im not gunna say good-bye because its not a good-bye, more like a.....i'll see you later.....i know ill see you again someday and just that thought puts a smile on my face, until then i'll think of
"gorgeous geno" & "blue-eyed john"

WE LOVE and MISS YOU BOTH
R.I.P.
GENO & JOHN
in our hearts forever
love, brittney s.

Geno and John, although I never knew you guys I keep you in my prayers. You're greatly missed by everyone. May you rest in peace, where ever you are. To Seth, you're in my prayers. Stay strong and you'll get through this. ~Kathryn Charron

Geno n John... i didnt know you like many people did... i barely knew you at all... but i member geno, when back in the day id just play basketball wit you... i mean we were never friends but i knew you, n went to school wit you n its just so sad... n so many ppl loved you n still do, n its so hard to believe... its so fake, it feels like a dream n i cant wake up, its so unbelievable even fer me.. n im so sry fer anyone who lost someone they really loved... R.I.P. Geno n John, youll always be remembered n loved... *Chérie

Another day we wish he could of said hello...

But the chance has past, and we must go home..

~~~~~~~~~<33~~~~~~~~~<33~~~~~~~~~

Geno, its is so hard to say good bye...

To see ur body, it made me cry..

Now i think of u every day and nite..

Wishing u could come back to life...

But god took a life, then he gave one..

To ur cute lookin niece...Andreanna Lee

We always thought that things happend for a reason

But now we all kno that things dont happen for a reason...

Only if u had that seat belt on...

People wouldnt be cryin...

RIP Geno Waugh August 26, 1987- April 13, 2004.

Hayy John How are you doing up there with the angels? I miss you so much, and i cant believe that you are actually gone. It all seems unreal. Why did such a bad thing have to happen to one of the best people i know? I keep asking myself that, but i cant seem to come up with a good enough answer. People keep saying "well its a good lesson learned" and "only the good die young" but that is not at all good enough for me. I hate tha fact that we wont be able to see you again until it is our turn. It makes me crazy to know that such a bad thing is possible. I will never forget your awesome jokes and your beautiful blue eyes. Your smile always turned bad days into good ones and i will miss that out of everything. You were a great person and i am glad that i got to spend as much time with you as i did. Though i wish we were a little closer... I am very glad i got to know you in the way that i had. Kepp an eye on my brother up there for me okay? I love you and miss you buddy~See you soon 4.13.04 You will always be in my heart ~Melissa
P.S We may have lost two great people but we got two new awesome angels to guide us in what we do. Rest In Peace John and Geno**Hang in there Seth!

Every says that everything happens for a reason and that theres a lesson learned in every mistake even if its not ur own. When i first heard of this i thought that it was some sort of sick joke, or a really bad dream but wen it finally hit me i couldnt stop crying.then at the wake someone said that everything happens for a reason and i questioned him. I mean what could the reason possibly be for 2 16year old kids who everyone knew and loved to die and the answer he gave me was...unfortunally the reason for this is a bad one...these 2 great kids died so that no one else would make the same mistake they did...so none of u kids would race one another, so none of u would speed on a rainy day and sooo all of u will always wear ur seatbelts so u don't make the same mistake that they did. And the lesson learned here unfortunally is a really bad one too...life is short and u must all learn to respect it and the faster u learn that the better life will be for u.I know that none of u will make the same mistake as john and geno. The more that i thought of this the more i understood it but i still have the question...y did it have to be them? Was it because god has plans for them up there? Im happy that atleast seth lived and this is a time where we're all gonna hafta b there for him...he has to live with this on his shoulders for the rest of his life. So to John and Geno: U were 2 of the best people i ever met..john u always used to make boring times so much fun..u were the funniest person i knew. U both may b gone but we will never forget u and we will always love u. It's soo sad that u missed so much..u missed ur entire future. U were 16...that is way too young

~Kassie~

Geno
I can't believe this happened. I feel like I lost another brother. The hardest part for me had to be walking up to your mother at the site and holding her as the police told us you died on your way to the hospital. All I can do is be there for your family and I am doing my best. Don't worry Bobby will take care of you up there and I am taking care of your family here. As I sit with your family I see how much your mom, dad, Ryan, Whitney, Courtney and Jordan and everyone else love you. To John's family I am so sorry and my sympathy goes to you as well. To Seth and his family, we are all here to help you get through this tough time as well. ~Amanda Means~

John and Geno we miss you guys. i didnt really know John that good but i talked to him sometimes. he was an awsome kid, geno i bet you were an awsome kid too. we pray for you guys all the time. we all love you John. We also wish that you and Geno were here right now!! RIP John!! Geno i heard about you but i didnt know you. like i said i didnt know you but i miss you, every1 misses both of you. we love you guys. you both mean alot to every1 right now and you did mean alot to every1 before you guys pasted on! John made me laugh everytime i was near him or hear his name but now when i hear his name i cry when i hear your name i cry to Geno! Geno and John save a spot up there for us! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

Love *Tess*

even though i only knew john in 1st and 2nd grade he was still a funny kid i didn't kno geno or seth but seth get better and geno i can tell ur loved and wanted back here. when i heard about this i didn't believe it but after the news it was to over whelming to imagine all of u are loved very much :) r.i.p. john and geno

John & Geno will always be remembered as two wonderful people who always put a smile on everyones face. we cant believe life came to an end so quickly for john & geno. they are missed so much by so many. its hard to put into words just how we feel. may God take care of them thier family and loved ones.

FRIENDS FOREVER - Sean, Shane, Jaclyn Marrier.

So many lives have changed since this terrible accident occurred! Seth, Geno and Jon were your friends, now they're your guardeden angels! Please come back to school and continue your life! This is what Geno and Jon would want you to do! An accident is something that happens unexpectedly and that's what this is!!
To all who loved Geno and Jon, please remember what they would do in this, and I don't believe it would be to cause anyone pain by saying something out of the pain we're all feeling. We all need to stand by Seth. He needs us right now, as does Geno and Jon's families. Let's do what Geno and Jon would want us to do--stand together, in all our grief.

The Parent of a grieving teenage boy, Joe

i never really knew John or Geno too well......but i'm friends with so many pple affected by this loss...you guys are so loved and i hope you know that...you guys made pple smile no mater what....we couldnt help but to smile.....you guys are so missed and we love you so much......R.I.P.

<3 with all my heart..michelle murray

I didn't know you all well, but I feel bad never the less...this shouldn't have happened, especially like this...to have lost the two of you is harsh, but we'll take care of those in need...and you will be remembered. To Seth, I am sorry that you have to live with this pain on your shoulders...I hope that you can also make it through...we'll be here to help you through it, just as were helping each other....

~Anonymous~

u kno, i never really knew any of you guys too well. but i respected you all quite a bit. just the fact that you went to our school made this so much more tragic. i dont know. it never occured to me that this could happen to us in our own town. we are all a little sheltered i guess. but the three of you being from here and having met you b4 makes you think. personally im wondering what stopped me from saying bye to you Geno. i was actually going to that day and not think of it. somehting stopped me from doing that and i dont kno what it was. but im so sad that it did now because i never get the chance to hear you say "ill see you lata wes" something about that always gave it kind of a big brother feel. we didnt kno each other all that well but when we talked we had fun together and im gonna miss that the most. im sorry this had to happen man....i really am. you were all good ppl and someay we'll all meet again. may you both R.I.P. and to seth....good-luck wherever you end up and with whatever you do. dont let this one mistake weigh you down for your whole life. they will be missed but you are still here and you should just be thankful for that.

-wes allen

I didn't know you that well but I knew that you all were very much loved and appreciated. My heart goes out to the families and friends of John and Geno and my prayers are with Seth. <3 Krissy <3

I didn't know you guys that well, but I knew your families and some of the people that were close to you and I can't even begin to understand the grief you are going through but my sorrow and sympathy goes out to everyone who knew them and everyone that this is affecting. The angels were sobbing for you the whole day and after you will both be sadly missed and will forever be with all of us in our hearts and my prayers and everyone else's are with Seth too Rest In Peace <3 *Kim*

John and Geno: You will be missed dearly. Your in the arms of the angels, be our angels. Please watch over us, and keep us safe. We will never forget you boys, because each of you guys were so special and so talented. My prayers and heart goes out to your families. I will never forget the stupid things we did, and the fun times we had. God Bless R.I.P
Seth: i don't know you very well, but i am praying for you. It wasn't your fault, God knows what he is doing, all you can do is keep faith in him.
<3 Kate Mellen

I know that I didn't know the two boys very well but it is still a huge tragedy and a huge part of our community that is gone. I wish that this sad event never took place as do many others.

My prayers go out the families of Geno and John and hope that their pain will soon pass. To Seth's family I say "Let him know that the school and the town are all pulling for him and hope that he can cope and continue to live his life as a normal teenager. Also, know that we, as a whole, are here for you."

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone through this time. I hope we will all learn from this and can also move on as time goes by.

TO GENO AND JOHN- YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED AND FOREVER BE REMEMBERED. GOD BLESS.

                                Signed Sincerely- - Kevin C. Rosseel

John and Geno, I miss you so much!  I cant think of words to express how i feel right now. Seeing it all has dried me of emotions. I can't believe it was you I saw there. I wish I could go back and tell you not to get in that car. Pictures and things dont give justice to how all around beautiful you both really were. Please take care of all of us I love you both. "...They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord..."

GENO- I still can't believe that your gone. It just doesnt seem real to me yet. My days seem so lost without you. Who am i gonna push in to walls and stuff when im leavin woodshop. =( Things are just never gonna be the same around here. Its hurts me that your gone, but it hurts me even more to see the pain in everyone else. I need you to do me a favor and watch over courtney. She is taking this all pretty bad. I've been with her everyday but she needs you right now. Please take care of her. She loves you so much. we all do. RIP :*(

JOHN- #8.. my football star. I remember goin to your practices everyday when you played for the raiders. I would go and hang out with you and the boys and see all your games. Please help the team through this. They have all lost a brother. I've never see a group og boys so close. They really love you. i'll miss you hun. You'll always be in my heart. i love you RIP

SETH- It broke my heart to see the emptiness on your face. i want you to know that no one blames you for any of this. We love you and we are glad that you are ok. I believe that you made it because god has plans for you here and he has plans for Geno and John up there. Everything happens for a reason. I know you loved the boys, everyone knows that. You'll pull through this. Take care kid. See you soon =)

TO EVERYONE ELSE- i was told by someone, not to mourn their deaths, but to mourn for their families who are still alive and have to deal with this, and to celebrate the lives they lived. John and Geno did live great lives and they are living even better ones now. They are in a much happier place, and they are there together watching down on us. They will protect us and make sure everyone makes it through this.

Stay Strong Everyone.

This is dedicated to the memory of John Soboleski and Geno Waugh

As each day passes, we wonder: what will happen to impact our lives?

On Tuesday, April 13, 2004 David Prouty High School received very traumatic news:

Two of Proutys finest students and excellent athletes were killed in a horrific car accident.

Their names were Geno Waugh and John Soboleski.

I did not know John, but I have learned that he was an excellent student and an excellent football player. When he graduated, he would have gone on to do great things like play pro football.

Geno was an acquaintance of mine; I knew him from my Food and Nutrition II class with Ms. Cronin.

When Geno graduated, he, too, would have gone on to do great things like play pro basketball.

I learned that the driver of the car was an acquaintance of mine, also. Seth Stockenberg.

I knew Seth from my gym class with Mr. Butterfield aka Butter.

This event has really shaken Prouty students and teachers

I wish I knew the right words to say to comfort the grieving friends and families of the victims, but, I do not even know where to begin.

I can say, however, that I am very truly and sincerely sorry for the loss they have endured.

I personally offer my most sincere condolences for both victims families.

Each day we pull for Seths slow but eminent recovery

GOD BLESS YOU Geno and John

Rest In Peace

Jay Marques

April 16, 2004

P/S: I offer my most sincere and heartfelt apologies to the families of the victims. I knew Geno and John were excellent students and will be greatly missed by their teachers and friends here at Prouty.

Again, my deepest sympathies to the friends and families of the victims.

This prayer goes out to Geno Waugh and John Sobeleski and their families,
Not that I knew you both very well, it's still a tragedy that you guys are gone. I guess you don't know how prescious life is, or how close people are in a small town, until something as awful as this had to happen. I decided to write you all prayers, since I unfortunally won't be able to make it to the wake, and funeral and this is the least I can do to show my respect. May you both rest in peace, and god watch over you. To the familes, I am very sorry, and my heart goes out to you. God Bless!

shell

incident. Please erase the vision

s that are in our minds that keep us awake at night.

My thoughts and prayers are with John and Geno's friends and families; God Bless you all and keep you strong for each other. I am a 50 year old parent of two Prouty students: One graduated in '97 and one will graduate this year. I grew up in Spencer and my friends were the Class of '72. To imagine this tragedy happening to me or one of mine is unbearable to me, so I cannot begin to fathom what you're really going through. But I've seen your faces, the red, swollen eyes, the tear stained cheeks, and the blankness of unbelievable horror in your eyes and I pray for all you kids, teachers, and everyone whose lives these two teens touched each and every day. I met Geno: what a sweet, funny, kind, and wonderful kid. I've heard such great things about him and John and I pray their deaths are not in vain. Let just one teen read or witness this tragedy and think twice before not buckling up, or driving fast. Then they will have died for a cause: to save one or many of you out there. There's another victim in all this and that is Seth. You are not responsible for this! They were both over 16 and chose to not wear their seatbelts. And you will have to live with this forever. Take heart. Let this experience change you for the better so that your life is not in vain. Care for your peers, be kind and spread God's word throughout your life so you may be reunited with your handsome, sweet "sidekicks", and best friends again in Heaven.

God Bless you, the families, David Prouty High School, our town: Spencer, MA and everyone who has ever suffered through something like this for whom this story I'm sure brings back such awful pain.

John, you were one of those guys who made everyone smile no matter what and there was something about your smile and eyes that made every girl melt. There is not one person in this town and many other towns that could say they didnt like you.. you are well loved by many and also greatly and dearly missed by many. I sit in science and cant stand to turn to my right and not see your face look at me and just smile cuz you were always there since 5th grade. You always sat there drawing pictures that made no sense what-so-ever but were really funny. I miss your excuses for being late to homeroom everyday and the play of the week isnt the same anymore. You have great friends who are taking care of chelsea and your family, i just hope you can see how much people love you and care about you.. please watch over everyone

Geno, I didnt really know you and now I'm sorry I never took the time to get to know you. By walkin down the halls it shows that you also were a good kid and very well loved you have very suppportive friends who miss you dearly.. watch over all of them

you guys are beyond anything words can describe ,there is no word in any language that could describe you two and how much you mean to people...

Seth- hang in there hun, stay strong. Everyone is supporting you and we hope you make it through all of this ok and come back cuz we all miss you deeply, I am so thankful that you survived because I dont know what I would do without you. Your the last of my hopes, you keep me going just knowing that your alright. Your a good kid with a good heart who doesnt deserve any torcher people give you. I know I havent known you too long but I care deeply and greatly about you and want to help you through this.. hang in the bud.. i love ya

John Soboleski was my best friend all throughout elementary school. He meant alot to me. He was always there to put a smile on everyones faces and noone will ever forget him. The veiw oh him walkin towards me smileing that great smile and his bright blue eyes will NEVER leave me. John if you can hear or read this I hope you know how much you meant to me and especially Chelsea. Im trying to stick with her through these tough times cuz i know how she feels. I love you and wish for the best up there. And tell Geno I sed hi too. Theres nothing worse then loosing one of your best friends! Love always and thoughts and prayer ~Julie Burdett

now angels who are

You boys will be in our hearts forever... John, member the hot dog!? many memories just wish we could have made even more... Seth be strong we are all here for you... Geno, i've had some good memories to remember you by... boys watch over us.... you guys are new stars in the sky... we won't ever forget you.. john i love you... sarah, john, and wendy stay strong... <3

WHY YOU?* By Julie Burdett with love*

Why You?, is all I can say.

Knowing that I'm not gunna see you from day to day.

That smile on your face everyone loved.

It's hard to believe and accept

But there is nothing worse than your friend's death.

You were loved by many.

I just don't understand why it had to be you.

Now most of us don't know what to do.

It hurts to see the pain and feel it.

Looking at your family, Chelsea, Trav, and Courtney,

Wanting to know how they can be so strong

It's just so hard, knowing how much you were loved,

Your bright blue eyes and heart melting smile.

You could feel your happy presence for nearly a mile.

You were always so happy,

A football star.

We hold you close to our hearts but you still feel so far.

No one could believe this could ever be you.

John can't die, now what do we do?

Now that you're gone we look back on the times we all had.

No one can remember anything bad.

You were perfect, so why was it you?

They say "Only the good die young"

It just shouldn't have been you.

We hold you in our hearts and hope for your angel guidance,

Still feeling that great happy presence.

Thank you for being there,

Just wanted you to know how much we care.

We love you John

And can't believe you're gone.

John Soboleski was one of our best friends. he was there for us and we were there for him. its crazy hes gone. hell be missed alot. Johns was loved by most everyone. he made u laugh all the time and he was always fun to be around. now we have lost a brotha from the football team and from our hearts. Peace man

John boy, Your mother and I made you and Travis play together wether you both liked it or not. Then we realized that you two became best friends like we are. We just couldn't believe it, it was great!!! John you are like a son to me and I always enjoyed to hear that you loved me, because I loved you. I will always forever miss you say "hey beautiful". I enjoyed watching you and Trav play football, camping and going to the beach with us. Nothing will ever be the same. Watch over us because we all need you to help us and say hi to Grammar Bunny up there. She probably already has you playing skip Bo. Take care John we miss you!!

John Anthony Soboleski And Geno Aaron Waugh- Guys hopefully you know we miss you so much, we all just wish we could feel your touch. just one more time to hear your voice, just one more time we can feel great joice. everyone misses both of your smiles, we just wish we could see them for a while. we just want to see your face, to put us back in our place. a lot of people miss your great big eyes, we want to really see you guys. i am not going to say that your gone, because in my heart your not gone and your memories of you are still very fond. so when i go to bed i will say my prayer, knowing that your always in the air. when the wind blows by me, i know that your touching me. your touching everyone too, your not making them blu. your making them happy in every possible way, your smile was as bright as miission bay. when i wake in the mourning i pray for you, so doesn't everyone who's true. evey one who cared who loved you a lot, nobody has ever forgot. noboy will forget about you. so every step and move that i make, i will think of you as soon as i wake. so for now i'll see you one day, i'll see you as soon as i may. your not forgotten and never will be. your missed dearly and always will be. i love you. luv ya. luv always. shorty. 4-13-04 a day nobody will ever forget.

It been a little over three months since the tragic event took place when 2 wonderful 16 year old boys died.It has taken me this long to think of something to say, but still Im speechless. I was very close to Geno,and I knew John very well too. I miss both of you guys and know that you're happy up there. I just wish there was something to bring both of you back,but there isn't. Rest in Peace both of you guys,you will be dearly missed. You were loved by many. I have another comment to make about Shantelle Webb, my opinion is to transfer to a different school next year because you've just made things harder for everyone,including Seth. I will never forget that comment you made about Seth. How you will never be able to forgive him for taking the life of someone you were in love with for eight years and you were basically blaming him. I dont appreciate that at all and neither does anyone else. You have no friends at prouty because you backstabbed all of them. I dont know why Courtney is even friends with you. All of a sudden after this tragic event you became her best friend,where were you all along.You just wanted the attention cause you're a little snotty brat. Geno would be so disappointed in you. As a matter of fact, Geno didn't even like you. You guys weren't close at all. He hated you with a passion. So get over it,he didn't love you, you're just obsessed with him.And thats all I got to say.

please lord take these two wonderful young men into ur arms,,,,, geno my men why i feel it wasn't ur time bro. u brought so much good times into anyone u were around,,, u have the most loving fam too,,, it kinda strange the other day when i went fishing i called out ur name to see how u were doing not relizing what i just did ... thats when it hit me and hard.... ur my bro i love u man

im so sorry i knew him he was a really good friend john was a good friend of my brothers they will both be forever missed

hi, My name id felica and i just came across this trying to do my home work. I started to read and i relize you both are really missed and u all are in mt prayers and thoughts.seyh you are also in my prayers and thoughts. I kno how hard it is to lose someone, not even a year ago i lost a really close friend she was drinking and driving. I ts so hard dealing with it she was only 19 with a 2 year old kid.Well i wont tell u anymore bout her this is your site.I just wanted to tell u how srry i am 4 everyones lose

I am so mad you're gone... So sad that you left... Angry you never got the chance for good-byes, only hellos. Even if I had the chance to say good-bye... I wouldn't. Why, you ask? Because there is no such thing. There is only, "We'll meet again" But I'm still mad, sad, and just so angry you never said, "Good-bye." Even though I'd never believe you, I'd just tell you, "We'll meet again." So since we never got the chance for our good-byes, I'll tell you now... Hello, good day, goodnight, and "We'll meet again," but never good-bye.

Geno it's been 6 months since you passed, and let me tell you life has been rough. Yesterday at 2 am I lost a friend to, once again, a horrible accident.It has got to stop somewhere! But where?! I can't live life wondering who GOD will take next. I have to think positive and make myself believe that this is life. This is how it's suppose to be.As they say "Only the GOOD die young". Why, I don't know and I may never know. I hope you are watching each and every one of us.....Though it's a big job....I think of you everyday....I use to babysit Whitney, Courtney, You , and Jordan.Ryan was to "old" at that time but we use to have fun.Well I love ya cuz!!!Iwill never forget that day in April. R.I.P 34-33 Lets hope it stays that way

×Dedicated to Geno× it doesnt feel real, i cant believe he is gone. God made a mistake, taking his life was wrong. my whole body feels numb, i cant feel a thing. i look around and see everyone crying. its only a dream, so i wont shed a tear. please wake me up, i dont wanna be here. reality kicks in, and i start bawling. i ttry to hold back, but they keep on falling. you could drown the world with the tears that have come. his dreams were over. and his life wasnt done. Ørest in peace. we all miss youØ i believe everything happens for a reason. but i dont understand why it had to happen to them. i didnt know john, but i do know he was loved, and i know he is missed greatly. geno, we love you and always will remember you. <3 ur lil'cuz Kayley
