The 22-year-old shared the order of service from his funeral on June 22 with another message promising to never let anyone forget him.

‘Today I had to see the only person I ever really loved be farewelled from this Earth, my heart breaks everyday for you, Rossario, ‘ she wrote.

‘I miss you so much, I can’t wait for the day I see you again… I held your hand through the pain next to you everyday for the past year then through hospital.

‘Now I hold your hand in my dreams, until we’re in the skies and I see you eye to eye.’

A month after his death, the Playboy and Maxim cover girl told the story of how she and Rossario first met and started dating months earlier.

‘He picked me up from my apartment I got in his car he drove me up the road and TOLD me I was his girlfriend now,’ she wrote.

Ms Porsche said his declaration came halfway through her explaining she couldn’t be with him because she didn’t want to ruin their friendship.

She recalled he told her: ‘”You don’t say no to me, you never say no to me, now gimme a kiss” while wearing his cap ‘on all funny’.

‘From that day forward, I was lucky to be by his side everyday, he wouldn’t let me go home,’ she wrote.

‘Not many people where lucky enough to see his soul and character the way I did, he had so much spirit and when you got past his bad side you couldn’t find a better human if you tried.’

Ms Porsche said Possario was her soulmate and feared she would never find someone she would love as much as him.

‘The saddest part is a friendship like what we had, you can’t find again, you only get one like that. He gave me happiness without touching, that’s something you can’t replace,’ she wrote.

‘From a single facial expression I could give you a broken down explanation of exactly how he was feeling in that moment.’

‘It’s hard for me to accept he’s gone. I feel our story wasn’t finished, I feel robbed of a future husband, a future father to my children. I worry about growing old without him.’

Rossario’s family said he was so close to his brother he was known as ‘Pasquale’s shadow’ and was ‘devastated’ when he was assassinated.

Their father and noted crime figure Giuseppe Barbaro claimed prescription medication Rossario was taking contributed to his death.

‘It’s not easy dealing with the death of two sons. I believe if Ross hadn’t taken those prescription pills he would never have taken his life,’ he told the Daily Telegraph.

Another source close to the family said ‘something snapped’ in the electrician, who was known as ‘Pasquale’s shadow’, after his brother’s murder.

‘He was lost and became very depressed, he was never himself again. He was Pasquale’s shadow and lived with his family in Leichhardt for about 10 years,’ they said.

‘The family is besieged by tragedy and drama, they could be in a movie, that’s for sure.’
