Now matter where this journey takes us, it's always the soul of a good person that stands out. That's what I found in Tony during my days at the Senate, LOB 918. Tony's presence was warm and approachable, and appreciated by me.
May you all find peace and know that we never lose those we love.
God Bless you all. With sympathy,
