Aunt Priscilla, and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now in your grief. As I share in that grief, I pray that God stands by you and fills your heart with love to ease your pain. Grandad said once, if you are lucky, you might meet 2-3 really exceptional people in your life. Great Uncle Tony, great in so many ways, was one of those people. His memory and example will be with me always. - Stevie
