April is Autism Awareness Month and a very sad time for our family as we approach the 10th anniversary of Tommy's tragic death on April 17th.

So to try to make something good happen this year in his honor, we are asking you to donate to Autism Speaks. We have set up a Tribute Page on their website. You can donate safely and securely right to them on his page. If everyone donates at least $10, it will help us reach our goal of $1000.

Just go to autism speaks.org, click on "ways to give", then on the "find a tribute" button, type in "tommy Vitale jr" and it will take you right to it. Please help in any way you can. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Another year gone by, seems like it was just yesterday since you were so senselessly taken from us all. Our hearts are broken, many tears have fallen, but we know God had bigger plans for you. Until we meet again, dear Tommy . . .

With deep sorrow and an emptiness in our hearts, today we honor your memory, Tommy, by asking all those that loved you to just hug someone they love today. You are loved & missed more than words can say . . .
