Tony was my nephew, I LOVED him as my own son. My heart is aching!!!! It hurts so much to think of never hearing him call my name again, see him again or cook his favorite meal again! GOD is a good GOD! I know that he is in a better place! But I miss him so much. I look forward to being with him again soon. He was a part of me and now he is gone "He will be FOREVER MISSED IN MY HEART" and "FOREVER REMEMBERED IN MY MEMORIES" I will cry tears of sorrow and joy for my nephew Tony forever and ever until we meet again! I Love You With All My Heart....Aunt Angie

This is for my cousin Tony Maurice Herrington, Jr., who I never got to know. You are gone, but not from my heart and I know that I will meet you someday when we sit by our Father's side. In the meantime, you have your mom, my mom, grandma Bonner, Aunt Lillian, and my brother Rennie to watch over you. My family has always meant so much to me and although I never met you, you meant equally as much to me. As for our family, God will see us through the coming days without you and as long as you remain in our hearts, you'll never be far from us. Love you cuz and I'll miss you, even without knowing you. I wrote this poem for those we love and have lost. Your cousin, Sandra
Missing You
You are sorely missed today
But you are still in our hearts
You have risen to a better place on high
You've left an old life and made a new start
In our hearts there is a stairway
That reaches upward to the stars
The body you left behind was just a shell
And also an empty space in our hearts
Missing you to say the least
Is far from how we feel
As time goes by the pain subsides
And someday our hearts will heal
Look down on us from your new home
And protect us when we fall
Be our Guardian Angel for now
And God will heal us all
Missing you is a human emotion
That can barely express what's inside
Today we smile for your transition
For today you sit by God's side
