Condolences
When this life is over, the dance goes on...so dance away. When all is said and done, remember what's been given not taken away. Remember the life that you shared everyday. With Love, Gloria, Mike, Sean, Daniel & Molly
May the love that surrounds you be a source of comfort at this time. God has a plan for all of us. We cannot fight with destiny as unfair as it seems. We pray that all of you find strength in your faith. Gian Jr is at peace and rests in God's kingdom forever. -Love Aunt Anna & Uncle Al Gargiulo
Our hearts go out to the Pace Family during this most tragic time - Love and Prayers, Anne Marie & Jerry DiScala
It has been said that the most difficult job in the world is being a parent.
And, what is even more difficult is being a "Mother" A Mother never sleeps, never
rests, never stops worrying. The job doesn't come with instructions, guides,
interviews or policy manuals, just good old fashioned maternal instinct.
And, although I wasn't your Mom, I can only imagine the heartache your Mom and Dad
are going through. Gian, I will definitely miss you. My thoughts and prayers are
with you and your family. At least I have one of your many talents of your great skill surrounding our home. These lights will last forever.
Love & Prayers,
MaryAnn
Gian, my son,
I was there for you at birth and through your whole life too. You grew up with me, close to me and as a part of me. As a kid, sometimes you were naughty and in trouble with me, but always respectful and good hearted. You knew how to manipulate me….. you got bikes, motorcycle and cars out of me, not to mention a dirtbike too. Cars, how many cars are we talking about? You averaged at least one year. You were expensive, but a good kid too, I would have never traded you. I watched you grow into a man, accepting responsibilities and taking on the burdens of life. You grew up! You realized that dads knew something, sometimes, and that you should have gone to college, but you didn't give up; you wanted to get on the right track and were adamant to do so. You became a skilled electrician and made me very proud of you. You weren't just average, you knew your stuff!!! You were confident in your work and happy with your success. Wow! What a great feeling!!!! One of your goals was to make me proud; well you succeeded. I am so proud of you that I'm constantly bragging and showing off your work.
You had another part of life that loved you, as I do; your wife, mother, sister, nieces, nephew, uncles, aunts, cousins, MaryAnn and brother-in-law, Paul, too. I know you cared for everyone as strongly as we do you. You brought us all together to say so long to you.
I don't know what to say, my son, since you have left me now. Except to say I'll find you when my turn to leave here comes.
Love you always,
Dad
Jenna lost My Brother - He was 37 to cancer Pain so bad that never leaves us feel for You though I hardly know You, I can't imagine Your pain. I know mine and therefore I know some of what You are feeling. I looked around for something to say to You at this painful time and this is what I feel is true He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man. and *As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heaven's Bless and Be with You.

To my cousin Jenna and my family, I am so very sorry. It has been a week since this tragedy and those are still the only words I can utter because I know there are no words that can save you from the pain you are feeling or to undo what has happen. I met Gian only a handful of times but I am being very sincere when I say I always sensed something that convinced me you two were soul mates that had found each other. I believe that is quite rare but I know it was true for you two. Jenna, my heart is breaking for you and again, I know my words cannot fix this. But over these past days the words of Frost have been repeating in my mind. In Reluctance, he writes about man's unwillingness to accept life as it flows, with its pain and disappointments. I only hope God will one day help us understand this life and why Gian was taken so soon from you. Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept the end Of a love or a season?
Dear Audri and Family, I met Audri a few times out with Denise Bryson but I just have to say my thoughts and prayers are with you through this terrible tragedy. May god give you strength to get threw this day and the ones to come. Bonnie
Dear uncle gian,
you only died about a week ago, and so far its been the hardest week of my life. i miss you so much and if i could have anything it would just be to have you come back into my life. even if we didnt get along sometimes; we were always fine in the end because it was silly arguments and we couldnt stay mad at eachother. you were my god father. you picked on me for stupid things, and if Daddy was at work you would act like my dad if you didnt like what i was wearing, what i was saying, or what i was doing. you would tell me to knock it offf. you would always call me CockalieAnnBroccli. i didnt like that name..but now i love it. i just want you to come back so bad you have no idea. i have nothing of yours, besides jenna. and it breakss my heart the way i see her. i knew how much you loved her, she loves you so much uncle gian. shes devistated. seeing mommy grammy and grandpa; knowing how much they loved you and how theyve been with you their whole life, and how upsetthey are.. its tearing me into peices. we all love and miss you so much uncle gian....so does buster. ill never ever ever ever ever be mean to that cat again, only because you gave him to me on my 4th birthday... i just miss you and want you to come back. ilove you so much uncle gian. rest easy& tell eddie i said hi.
see you soon,
kailey.
I dont even know where to begin. I can not beleive this has happened to such an awesome and caring person. You were my life for 5 years and you have been taken away from me. The thought of never seeing you again or even speaking to you again is killing me more than you could imagine. I will never seee those bright blue eyes, or your classic smile, hear you call me beautiful or tell me that you love me, or the only arguments we had over who loves who more and whoever said infiniti first always won. We had so many plans for the future and i promise to do as many of those that i can by myself. I want to keep you alive within my heart forever. The last time i saw you i kissed you goodbye and the last time i talked to you we told eachother I love you, just like we always did, and this was the reason we did. I just thought I would be in my 80s when this happened. We were suppose to grow old together and make beautiful children together and I wish we were able to do that. I would give anything to have you come back to me or even just see you one last time. My heart is completley broken and I dont feel whole because you were my other half that made me whole. I hope you can see how many people love you and are here for me and your family. Please give your mom, dad, audri, paul, kailey, kamryn, travis, my family and all of our freinds the strength to get through this one day. We all miss you terribly and we know we will all meet you again one day. I know that when i get to that wonderful place you will be there waiting for me with your arms wide open and a big smile. Since we started dating we never went one day without seeing one another and today on the 7th day without you I am beside myself. Words are not enough to tell you how I feel, I just pray that you know how much I love and adore you and how much you will be missed.
I am loving and missing you for eternity Gian. May you rest in Peace forever and always. I truly hope you are with Eddie and your other friends and family and they are taking care of you. I hope you are watching over me and loving me as much as i am loving you. I will never forget our wedding day and how happy we were. You made me the happiest girl ever and hopefully I made you happy as well. You never went a day without telling me how you felt and I am missing that so much. I need to hear your voice so please come to me in my dreams or something because I need you here with me and I dont know what Im going to do without you. You were the best husband, and best friend anyone could ask for. The day you left me was and always will be the worst day of my life. Forever loved and missed. Until we meet again my love.
LOVING YOU FOR ETERNITY
RIP GIAN

Love always, Your Wife
Gian, let me start by saying you were a true friend. The bond we had as kids was so strong I knew we would be friends forever. From our first sleepovers as kids, to our first days of walking into high school together I knew we would always be friends. I have so many memories of us, some are so funny and some are sad, but I will remember all of them! I remember the time we had a sleepover and you were at my dads with me, we decided to sneek out and meet some friends at the tennis court. My window is like 2 feet off the ground and I got out okay, but when Gian climbed though the window he fell to the ground instead because his leg got stuck. It was so funny we just stood there and laughed for like 10 minutes. He says to me "why didnt you catch me" I said "because it wouldn't of been funny then"! Gian says to me " ya, I wouldn't of cought me either". It was so funny (guess ya had to be there)! LOL
There are so many things that made Gian a great man. One of them being how much love and respect he had for his family. Gian knew how wonderful his mom and dad were and was thankful for them everyday. Gian had such a great relationship with his sister and Paul, which pretty much was like his brother. I remember when we were younger he always went to them for support and questions when Gian had some crazy idea.
I miss you Gian. Tell Eddie I said Hi
Love Jarrett
I remember the morning I woke up and knew you were on the way. Only three and a half hours later I learned I had a son and saw your face for the very first time. You made your entrance in a rush and you left way too soon.
You always had a "need for speed" from your Hot Wheels tricycle to BMX racing to that race car you and Eddie built together. If it had wheels you needed to find out how fast you could make it roll.
The only thing you loved more than speed was Jenna. I never saw anyone so excited and happy about getting married. Everyone always said "Gian loves his Jenna". The two of you together were the perfect balance. I love her too. She'll always be a part of our lives because she was the biggest part of yours.
The thing I remember most about you was how you could make me laugh. I don't know where you got that sense of humor but when you turned it on you could make me laugh until my face hurt. You were so animated and you made such goofy faces.
I have so many memories of you, good and bad. Right now those memories can make me sad but in time every memory will bring only joy. I thank God for the time I had with you. I miss you so much but I know that the day is coming when I will see your face for the first time again in another place.
Bye, for now.
Love Mom
Dear Gian,
I loved you much more than I ever told you, I need you more than you'll ever know. From the time we were little we fought a lot but I could never stay mad at you for long and you knew that. Not once did I ever think I would loose you. I learned a lot these last few days and truth is that you need to show the people you love that you love them every chance you get because nobody is promised a tomorrow. I'm glad that I had you as a brother and I'm sad that you had to leave. I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I remember when we were little and we would argue and I would tease that I was the oldest, your response was always "yeah, but your gonna die first". I would get so mad. I have so many memories with you that I will share with your nieces and nephew as often as I can...I will keep your memory alive inside them. I hope they are old enough to remember just how much you loved them. Aside from me Paul and Mommy, you were the first one at the hospital when each of them were born. I want to remember you exactly how you were, because how you were was perfect. I've heard that God never gives you more than you can handle...you need to ask him what he was thinking when he thought I could handle this because the hole in my heart is so big you could drive a car through it. I know that you were always so worried about Mommy and Daddy, please know that I will always take care of them. Seeing Jenna breaks my heart and I hope she too will someday find peace. I know how much you loved her. Now we love her too and I will make sure she remains a part of our lives always. I wish you could see how many people loved you, its unbelieveable the way you touched so many. I love you little brother and you will remain forever young in my heart. Rest easy Gian Joe...one day I will see you again in a place that we will never have to say goodbye!!!
Lonnie, I am so sorry for your loss. We are holding you and your family up to the Lord and trust that He will find a way to comfort you.
Dear Jenna & Family, WE are so sorry to hear about Gian. You have our deepest sympathy. May he rest in peace.
My heart is breaking for Jenna and Gian's family and for all of their extended family and friends. Gian and Jenna were two special people that found each other and were so much in love and happy together ... one of the last things I remember Gian telling me, only two weeks ago, was how they never fought and that alone is rare, just as the two of them were together. Our family will truly miss Gian. Love Always, Aunt Cathy
The thought of you never walking through our door again is too much to bear. Our hearts are broken. Who would've thought that a random visit to your shop 13 years ago would develop into such a valued friendship/relationship that grew stronger with each passing year. We consider you and Jenna part of our family. When we think of Jenna we are paralyzed with sadness. A beautiful, warm young lady who became your "world". The love you had for each other touched everyone around you. You were kind, considerate and ALWAYS there for us. Now we will ALWAYS be here for Jenna and your family..you can count on that our beloved friend. We will love and miss you forever Gian. Rest in peace. May the angels lead you in.......
If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. Unknown author Over all the years Ive known you Gian, every year we got closer and closer. Im going to miss you more then you can ever fathom but one thing I promise is that I will always have Jennas back for anything because I know she meant the world to you. Ill always have you in my heart. I hope God gives Jenna and the rest of your family the strength to live a happy life. Rest In Peace love you man
My heart aches from missing you. None of us who loved you are ever going to forget you or stop loving you. I love you so much, Aunt Vic
Gian, You were a great man.My family and I have only met you a few times. Im sure your in a better place now living a wonderful life. You will be missed dearly. Im sure you were a great, loving, caring and wonderful man. Prayers are to you and your family. Xoxo, The Pousson Family <3
Gian, I will truly miss you. I think you were the first person that I met who could talk more than me. You were like a brother that I never had to me. You enlightened many peoples lives. Especially Jenna's. You will and are truly missed. God Bless.
Gian was a member of our family for far to short of a time. But in that short time we all grew to love him. He became not just "My niece's Husband" but my nephew. I will miss your constant chatter, and your always smiling face. God Speed Gian. Till we meet again. PS, Thank You for making Jenna so very happy.
Jenna, may you and your family find peace at this trying time in your lives. Gian is soaring with the angels and may he forever be in your heart. Know that I will continue to pray for you. (((HUGS)))
Jenna, Jay, Nancy & extended family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. What a tragedy. May he rest in peace.
Jen saw this today, and I'm sure you will not be able to appreciate it now..but it made me remember how good you and Gian were. "Don't cry because it's over' smile because it was." Dr. Seuss
My heart is broken for Jenna and her family. I will never forget the fun we had together in our Real Estate travels. I treasure Gians face when I placed his boutonniere on his lapel on that magical day last August. And I will never forget the times he told me how "In Love" he was with his wife. Warmest condolences to my extended family! Love Wendy
