“After Brian's accident, when he was in the hospital and the acute facility when I visited, I would put my hand on his chest over his heart and repeat the following;
You are strong. You are healthy. You are willful. You are loved.
I'm looking at these words, repeating them to myself, for myself.
I'm typing them here today for everyone else as a reminder of who you are and what you mean to others and what others mean to you.”
- Peter Piscitelli, the father of victim.
“I love you baby... See you on the other side someday. Don't you worry about us. Connor and I will be okay. We will love you for forever. Everytime I look into our sons blue eyes, I will see a little piece of you. I love you...”
