To the Luna Family,
I was saddened to learn of Tony's passing. I was Tony's umpiring partner during the 80's and have many fond memories of the time spent with him, especially doing high school and Babe Ruth games. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and comfort of God's love.

Tia Patsy, I am very sadden to hear of the death of my Tio antonio. We all have many fond memories of him and you and your family. I know it is hard to say that we should be celebrating but it is true that God has promised us a new life and a new heaven. That is what we believe as "Catholic Christians" and I know my tio Antonio believed the same thing, and now we celebrate with him because he is forever happy with him whom gave him life on earth and now eternal life, where he is waiting with a smile for us to join him, remember when we pray he prays with us along with all the saints and angels in heaven. God Bless You and your family.

As Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:1-4
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

Patsy and family, Tonio will be waiting for you. May God give you strength during this time and ease your heavy hearts, as well as ours, soon. We love him and we love you.

God Bless,
Sister and Steve

Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during the Cold War.
