I dated this sweet guy for 5 years. Through all of high school and beyond. We spent many weekends cruising Broad Street with the music turned up loud in his Supra. Even though we had lost touch I still think about him on the anniversary of our first date (January 3rd) and on his birthday every year and have tried several times to find him on social networks, by phone, ect. without any luck. Unfortunately, due to the accident he did not make it to his birthday this year. I think about him often as he was my first love, my high school sweetheart. My 20 year high school reunion was recently held and it reminded me how much fun Tony and I had at my junior and senior proms. It was just today (11-10-11) that I found out about his passing and even though his family has had time to grieve, it is a fresh wound for me. He will forever be my Tigger and I will miss him even more now. God bless you and your family. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven one day.

Words cannot express the grief and sadness felt when I heard of your beloved Tony's passing. It's so overwhelming and unreal, that it's difficult to know just what to say. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

MY BELOVED SON, TONY
When you were born, it was like heaven, exciting and unique,
Oh what a joy it was to see your face smiling. As your eyes opened, they were so brown, hair so red,
You were so full of life and energy,
You faced every day with your spirits so high, Showing your heritage in each little move you would make. My beautiful little son was so happy and alive, I looked foward to each day God would give me with you.
To have you near, you depending on me, now the day has come, You are grown up, you are a man, a wonderful, kind, smart human being, whom I would trust with my life. You have always been the sunshine of my being.
I hope I have been a good teacher of life, and been there when you needed me the most, You were the best thing that ever happened to me, God bless you and keep you safe.
For he has always had a purpose for you, He has always been by your side my son, you are special, A gift He gave me many years ago. May God bless you, my special son, for your love.
Tony was a rose in a world of thorns. Our only solace in our time of grief is that God chose to pluck this particular rose at the peak of his beauty.
