Remember Me
REMEMBER ME WHEN I AM GONE AWAY,
GONE FAR AWAY INTO THE SILENT LAND;
WHEN YOU CAN NO MORE HOLD ME BY THE HAND,
NOR I HALF TURN TO GO YET TURNING STAY.
REMEMBER ME WHEN NO MORE DAY BY DAY
YOU TELL ME OF OUR FUTURE THAT YOU PLANNED
ONLY REMEMBER ME; YOU UNDERSTAND
IT WILL BE LATE TO COUNSEL THEN OR PRAY.
YET IF YOU SHOULD FORGET ME FOR A WHILE
AND AFTERWARDS REMEMBER, DO NOT GRIEVE:
FOR IF THE DARKNESS AND CORRUPTION LEAVE
A VESTIGE OF THE THOUGHTS THAT ONCE I HAD,
BETTER BY FAR YOU SHOULD FORGET AND SMILE
THAN THAT YOU SHOULD REMEMBER AND BE SAD.
-CHRISTINA ROSETTII

I had been trying to reach Anthony by phone for quite some time and his cell phone recording said his number was no longer operational. I wanted to go to his home but did not to intrude as I had not seen him for quite awhile. Every now and then I would go online looking for a phone number. Today I looked and I found Anthony’s obituary. So sad to find this news. Anthony was the most positive, upbeat and kind person I ever knew. I will never forget him and am so glad I met him 30 years ago. My condolences to his extended family . May all your happy memories with Anthony be a comfort to you. LeAnn Miner

Tony, I am so grateful that our paths crossed in life. You were always a Duck but respected my Beaver heritage and you rocked. You are in a better place and I hope to meet you down the road. Rest in Peace!
