Tony,
Today is our son Daniel's 8th birthday! It seems like yesterday that he was born.When I think about those days I think of you. Times got tough for you and I but I miss those days because they were better than what we have now.I miss you dearly and wish you were here. I look at our son and daughter and they look more and more like you everyday.Since you and I separated,
my life changed, I made some mistakes along the way but now I am making great efforts to change them.Not just for me but most important for Daniel and Maya and baby Samuel.I cannot believe that tomorrow will be a year since you been gone. I was at Josie's last week and I missed you like crazy.
Your mom's house brings back a lot of memories.We love you Tony!! Love,Denise

Tony,I been thinking about you so much lately. Your son and daughter ask me so many questions that I do not know how to answer. Last night was a nice night the moon was shining and Maya looked up and said," My daddy is here with me." I wish things were different but I can't change anything. I am trying to do my best with these kids on my own. Everyday they mention you and I can't help but remember the good and bad times. And there was alot of both. So anyways I pray for you everyday and for your family and friends and for all of your children.

The last thing I said to Tony was you love your Mom huh, and he flashed that smile at me as he was walking away and said "Always" The world seems much smaller without you in it. Our family sends love to yours, The Brian Family

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Jesse and I would like to express our sympathy to the family and friends of Tony. It was a pleasure to spend some time with him at Ernie and Wendy's wedding, and it was obvious to us that he was a man with a zest for life.
