God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

You’ve left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your family, you’re always by their side.
It broke their hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of them went with you on the day god called you home.

REST IN PEACE UNCLE TONY

Uncle Carmen, Aunt Carol, FJ, Michelle, Christopher, Eddie, Serena and Annie-

In order to hold on to Uncle Tony and the wonderful things that he did in Life… Keep his memories alive.

F.J., Michelle, Christopher, Eddie, Serena and Annie-

I was sorry to hear of the passing of your Uncle Tony…...Your new Guardian Angel……

There are many cherished memories as we were all growing up (even though I’m just a little older.). I can still remember spending so many happy times with Uncle Carmen and Aunt Carol when I was younger and then many years later when it felt like I was almost living with all of you when I had my own children.

So many memories…I wouldn’t know where to start.

My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Although it is always a very hard thing to accept, you have wonderful memories to keep close to your heart and we will all think back at what a wonderful man Uncle Tony was when we think of him.

His wonderful gift of always finding good in everything and his great sense of humor will always stand out in my mind.

God bless you during this difficult time,
