To Timothy, Dominic and Jonathan, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a good man with a beautiful heart! He also brought 3 beautiful sons into this world. He is at peace in our Heavenly Fathers arms, dancing with the angels and your uncles! Wow...you will all be together again one day in Paradise. We are all going to the same home, he just got there ahead of you. I am sure he is helping our Father God building your mansions for when you get there. May God bless you all. You will be on my prayers!! Make your daddy proud.

Words can not express how I felt about my bestfriend Willis. I LOVED him unconditionally. I wish I could of been around a lil more, but I can only hope he got to spend his last moments w/ his closest loved ones. I'm heartbroken, but I know he is looking on. Rest in peace my friend, till we meet again...

I love u dad. Watch over my brothers and I for it will be a long road ahead without u. But like u always brilliantly reminded us from time to time that a light exists out of every dark tunnel. Be that light for everyone who grieves ur passing. Part of me died that day but a new life will emerge because I owe it to u to take care of my brothers and to become the man u taught me to be. Ur a good vato, like so many have experienced. Just guide Me to that light like you always have. For the rest of my life, no matter thru good and the bad, u will remain in my heart forever. Love u. Ur son T

I am so sorry to hear of his passing - I remember Anthony well from his crazy greetings in the hallways and long bus rides home from WMHS - we have often thought of your family and share your pain as we just lost one of our own to cancer (brother Bob)- Hope you find comfort in knowing that so many cared for him.
