Dear Kathy, Paul and I were so sad to hear the news about Anthony. We have so many vivid memories of him. Paul and I can never reminisce about the old neighborhood and childhood memories without also remembering Anthony. He could be hysterically funny! Those memories will continue to bring a smile as we continue to remember him. We wish you much comfort, peace and happy memories of him as well, to help get you through this difficult time.
