To the Caro families,
My deepest sympathies regarding Tony's passing. This is the saddest of occasions for family and friends to ever have to endure. You are all so very fortunate to have maintained a family bond which has kept you together through happy times as well as times such as this. Tony was the kind of person who had such a strong sense of presense, that he more than likely watched from the Heavens making sure you all smiled & had goodtimes while celebrating his life.
Tony you're a free soul now. Rest peacefully friend.

The Caro family's loyalty and love for each other is as broad and amazing as their smile and humor!
To lose one of their own is such a terrible loss not just to them but for anyone who has been blessed to be a part of their lives. To be involved with one of them you must accept being involved with ALL of them-what a blessing that was-thank you for the memories!
My heart and prayers are with you all. You are all so blessed to have each other through this terrible time. Know that anyone who knows of any of you are also.

I can still see your smile, and hear you laugh, like you were standing next to me. I am fortunate to have had you as a friend, and I enjoyed working with you. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, I am hopeful that we will meet again on the other side. So until then, rest well brother, you will be missed, but not forgotten....
