I am very sorry for your loss, I met Tony about 8 years ago when we started doing some business. Just recently he and I were looking forward to starting back up.

Life is so short (here on earth), we need to inhale every moment we are given. We, as humans, tend to take each day for granted. The Bible tells us that from the moment we leave this world, we are in the presence of the Lord. So, I know the minute he saw the lights of heaven, or the Saviors face, he was jumping up and down and dancing on his two new legs. Hallelujah !!

Aunt Patsy & Uncle Jerry,
I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. But, I do know that we have an awesome God, and He is able. He can lift us up on angels wings, and hold us so close, that we can feel the warmth of his Spirit. I Love you'all so very much and we are all sending up special prayers for all the family.
