Dear Jean:

I'm shocked to hear the news and am so sorry for your incredible loss.

Tony never failed to make me smile. While I would hide out in the mailroom he would listen to me talk about my challenges raising boys and he would share his family stories showing how it would get better. Or just laugh, knowingly, as only someone who has been there can.

He was so proud of his family and did not hide his love for you, your boys, and all of his family.

Wishing you and all in your family peace during this difficult time.

Dear Jean and family,

I can't begin to fathom the sadness and anquish you must all feel. Tony was a gem of a guy and will be greatly missed by all. The clematis flowers that surround our mailbox will now take on an even greater meaning than the kind gift that you gave us Jean.
