Dear Aunt Audrey, Tony and Debi
This passing of Uncle "Tone" was shocking to hear and I know devastating to all of you! He fought such a brave battle with illness. I admire and love him so very much. My heart goes out to you all and know that I am there with you in Spirit. I remember so many memories with Uncle Tony. One that stands out in my memory were the overnight visits I spent at your home growing up. It was a Haven to me and you all made me feel so loved, welcome and part of the family. Everytime I saw Uncle Tone he always had a smile and a hug for me; always asked about my life and how I've been doing; made my husband feel welcome to the family and genuinely was interested in our welfare! How I wish distance didn't prevent me from spending more time with him, but the times I did see him were memorable and touching to my heart! Oh!- how we'll all miss him and look forward to when we'll see him again at Home with Our Father in Heaven. You know all our loved ones that have passed before him have greeted him lovingly and will take care of him until we see him again. Aunt Audrey, my heart is with you and I pray Jesus wraps His loving arms around you to comfort and heal. All Mine and My Family's love to you. Michele, Dennis and Renèe Porter
