I can not begin to tell my big brother how my life will be without him in it. He was my protector before I found God. He always came to my rescue no matter what or where. I know he is no longer suffering, and those left behind are the ones missing him now, that I can attest to. Tony,I will always love you and miss you. Another piece of my heart has been taken away,first Maggie, now you. You know how close we were and I will cherish those memories forever. I ask God to help me because he knew how you and I were. Guess "G" gonna have to step up his game.. LOL. Gonna miss you "T".
Love Aways, Your only baby sister
