I know that Anthony lived life as he was meant to. Jona, and all the family, know that you gave Anthony a perfect life because you loved him unconditionally. May all of that love fill your hearts for all of your days.
With much respect, Dr. Fisher

Our nephew, your gift to us is unmesurable. Through you we learn compassion and love for others. We think of you now as whole and playing in heaven with the other children. We will miss you. To Jona you ARE "the wind beneath my wings"!

Sweet, sweet baby boy! Your aunt and uncle will miss you dearly. Until we meet again in the Golden City of New Jerusalem, we will keep you in our hearts and your family in our prayers. To my steadfast sister, who had the courage to love and take care of our angel baby, you are my hero.

We are all praying for each of you. Know that will continue, as we know grief has no time line. I pray for God to carry you during this so difficult time. Know that we will give the girls love and caring when they return to school. They are our babies too, and we are mourning with you.
