IIIDominic’s story

Dominic was loving, loyal, understanding and patient. He had iconic curly hair, he was well in shape, and he always had a sweet tooth.

He was always there for his brothers. On movie nights with them, Marvel movies were “always a must,” and he would wait to complain about who was scrolling on their phone the most.

He made fun of his mom for not using slang words the right way. He tried to be a positive influence for his friends and family.

“It was able to bring to life what I feel each day not having my handsome boy here”

Dominic’s mom, in her review

She misses waking up to his footsteps in the hallway, and his voice on the other end of the phone. She misses his hugs, “the kind of hugs… that stayed with you long after they let go.”

He taught them to value the time they have together. For his mom, “life is less bright now that he’s gone.”

She made the song to cope, “putting some of my feelings into a song.” She didn’t open it for a few days, not knowing if she had the strength, and she was glad she finally did.

She thought she would keep it for herself, but now she wants to share it with his brothers.
