To the Nasta and Larkin families,

Thinking of you all during this anniversay, and hoping there have been more smiles than tears.

Through life there are individuals who truly ARE individuals! Vinny was someone who in the short time I knew him packed more than 60 seconds into every minute, and loved life.

It's been a year of reflection, thinking often about "what if" and "why," and "how could that be." But more often it's also been more of "I'm going to pack more than 60 seconds into MY minutes." Strangely I'm smiling more, doing more of the things I said I would get to someday. I can directly attribute that to losing Vinny on that terrible day, which hit me almost as much as losing my sister at 31. Why is that? Because it makes me realize again that nothing is promised, and ANY day could be our last. So, I'm sure Vinny would be smiling as he knows he's touched so many people to "max out" their potential, and not just coast through doing the bare minimum.

So, when I see a small plane or just hear one I think of you Vin, and maybe someday we'll finally nail down those harmonies to Derek and the Dominoes "Tell the Truth!! I'll keep practicing!

Peace,
Joe C

I can't believe it's been a year. I miss you and I would have had so much fun things to tell you this year. I was shown so many movies that you'd go ON and on about how it was made and how crazy technology is. I think of you a lot and cannot explain how much I've grown this year. It's crazy because the main person that I always looked up to was my dad, and then I met you and you became another mentor in my life. Then I lost you and my dad within half a year. It's unfair but I cannot even explain how much losing both of you have shaped me. My art took a totally different turn a year ago from today, and ever since it's progressed. I got published in a magazine! It comes out September 10th! You'd be so excited!! I'm graduating this year and that's sort of unbelievable and I'm not ready. I decided that it's okay to ramble, because I'd do that to you if we were face to face. So here is a long rambling comment to let you know that I am thinking of you and missing you. Love you nasta!

Admin reply: I'd love to see it.

So, I have been painting for about a week now and can't stop thinking what you would tell me about this or that as the brush moves over canvas ... actually we'd probably be talking about ANYTHING other than painting while I worked. Sandwiches, or movies, or sponge bob ....

I miss you so much - you know that. Anyway, the deadline for the art show is August 17th and I shutter to think that day will be one year since I recieve the phone call. A day in time when time stood still as I heard the news.

Well, thanks for your continued encouagement and inspiration - I hope you like me painting. I doint care if it wins a placement, I just want to see something of mine that I created hanging up for people to look at. It makes me think of the time you discovered that my apple painting looked cool with 3-D glasses and we hung a pair next tot he art int he high school art show so that people could see apples floating in black space... only you Vinny!

Miss you much - when its finished I'll make a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomoto soup for lunch!

Dear Uncle Vinny,
I am so glad this website was created. I feel like I can really talk to you when I type on here. Guess what? I'm going to be an aunt! John and Diana are expecting in February (imagine the same say as my birthday?!) and I am really excited. You would be so proud of daddy. He has really gone through a lot for you. Also, Uncle John has been a big help with this website and everything. I hope that someday, I will be able to convince my parents to let my take a ride in your plane like I did when I was a kid. I don't really know who has your plane (I think Aunt Kathy has it). Of course it won't be the same without you at my side worrying if I'M gonna be the one to crash the plane. I miss you (who doesn't) and I really wish I could of heard you and your band before you passed. I really want to hear you sing, and who wouldn't want to hear your voice? I LOVE YOU, AND EVERY TIME A PLANE GOES BY, I THINK OF YOU.
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
Alexis

Dear Uncle Vinny,
I can't believe you are gone. You inspired me to paint, play guitar, and I love to go in the sky. I will always remember you as my inspiration. I LOVE YOU.
