From the time I met you for the first time at Carver in Mr. Wiggins 5th grade class through the years at Oscar Smith the thing I remember most about Tony was the smile he always seemed to have on his face. On the football field you were a inspiration to the rest of us on that field with you cause you always had the biggest heart and always left it on the field. It was a pleasure to know you the few years I did. May you continue to smile down on your family and all your friends and watch over everyone. Take care Tony till we all meet again

Even though here on Earth it can seem as a bad thing, it's really not. God has placed him here to touch different people in different ways. We have to take the memories and find comfort in them. God will see you through all of the heartache you are going through. KEEP GOD FIRST YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH!

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, and one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you passed, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. May your family take comfort in knowing you are now an angel watching over them.

Ja"Net and Family,
It is with deep sympathy we send our thoughts and prayers to your family.
Every morning at work you send out a little motivator to encourage all of your co-workers. Well today I would like to encourage you. God chooses the very best for His works, He looked down and saw your husband. I did not know him but by knowing you I can only imagine the man he was.
It’s wonderful when times are good, but when we’re in a rough season, it can seem like we’ve been stranded by God.God promises to watch over us all day long, even in the dark seasons of our lives. God’s hand is on us even when nothing seems to be going our way:
As I know through experience God will never give you more than you can bare. My family and I will continue to lift you and your family up in our prayers.
-your co-worker at Anthem.

Ja'Net, words can not begin to express the sympathy I have for you. I wish you serenity, comfort and endurance to remain faithful and steadfast during your darkest hour. Tony will truly be missed...family gatherings will never be the same but as long as we all speak fondly of him and keep his name and our memories of him in our hearts he will always be with us. He may have only been one person, but he was and meant many things to many people. To me he was a wonderful man who brought lots of laughs and jokes to everything he touched, he was my grill master at my annual Luau, he was my partner in crime, he had a smile that could light up a city block and he was the man who brought love, joy and happiness to my Cousin and for that I'm thankful. Tony Forte was a fine young man and an inspiration to us all. I grateful to have had the chance to meet him and have him in our family. Even if it was only for a season he has made a lasting impression on us all.
With deepest sympathy and lots of love,
