A tremendous sadness learning of the passing of Steven on my birthday! The heartache is still overwhelming as is the shock of his passing so quickly, leaving behind the love of his life, Rose, and his beautiful daughters and grandchildren. Steven was cut from a special cloth. One of the most caring, honest, and devoted men I have ever known. He was a man of his word and a well of deep compassion for his family and friends. He will always be missed and remembered.

Dominick was one of the nicest guys before highschool and in high school. He had a very sweet demeanor and loved to laugh so many laughs were shared over the years and lots of gags. His passing was both a shock and a loss to our class. I will always remember him as a super nice guy.

George was both my neighbor and my friend. He lived on Cherry Street next to Ocean County Park and we lived on the North Oakland Street which was the next street off Route 88 going toward downtown Lakewood. One summer George, Margarete Munoz (we called her Geet) and I hung out quite often because we got detention for skipping school a number of times and had to attend summer school. We attended the minimum of classes to pass because we cut many summer school classes too. But we got through it and had a wonderful time building memories of many sun and fun days filled with our laughter. It broke my heart to learn of George's passing. His brother, Steve, who was a close friend of my brother's Jan and Lance Hartman, had passed about ten years before we lost George, so it was a very sad for us to lose George too. A good friend and neighbor.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my beautiful dear friend!

I remember being very shocked and very upset when we, the world, lost Patricia. She was a truly lovely person who, like the rest of us, was muddeling through growing pains. I knew she was hurt by very unkind things that were said to her, about her and had seen her being bullied. I thought we all were experiencing that and had to just deal...ending everything permanantly never entered my mind. I remember crying for Patricia and being very angry at her bullies...funny how you never forget and always view people in a certain way based on what they present to you. Patricia will always be remembered as a very sweet and smart girl who made a loyal friend and could make you laugh in spite of her inner pain.
