Dear Cathy, Our prayers are with you and your family at this time of dear Nick's passing.
Growing up we were more like brothers & sisters than cousins. There is an emptiness in my heart that I can't describe. Special love for you & Bobby always.
This heartbreaking for the whole Pulichene family. Losing 2 brothers within months is devastating. My heart goes out for this sad loss.
I havent seen you Nicky in many years. I will always remember the good times at Grandma's house. You always made us laugh
Dear cousin you always be in my heart, your generosity and your love for the family were an example of all the good you have been, thanks for your love, see you later,I love you. Mabel
