There are no words that I can say to express how sorry I am for your loss, I can only send heartfelt prayers and my time. Big Tony and Nicole if there is anything that I can do for you or the children please let me know. Know that God is walking beside you, Nicole you taught me that. Tonio is at peace now. Some of us should be so lucky. You raised a remarkable young man. When the visits, phone calls, text messages, flowers, etc. stop know that I am still only a prayer away. I will continue to pray for you always.

Antonio Jr. is now in line with the other soldiers, waiting for that glorious day when our Father in heaven returns for the saints. To the Collins Family, Antonio Jr. is standing there with that smile and those beautiful eyes that you know so well. He is proud to be in that number. I salute Antonio Jr. for a job well done. He has made it. Celebrate his life and rejoice for his eternity.

God called him by name, "Tonio!"
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of His power.
Not one will be missed.
Isaiah 40:26

In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.

God Bless!

It's gonna be crazy coming back 2 Atlanta and not seeing my man Tonio come 2 the house cheezin from ear 2 ear and hearin' that distinct voice holler "Wassup Larry!"

Tonio has been my heart since we were kids. I had the pleasure of having him aggravate me for 18 years at the least. We picked at eachother each time our eyes met, I call it tough love because the both of us loved each other with all of out hearts. He had the power to lift up my spirits no matter my demeanor. He always kept me laughing. Im gonna miss seeing him everyday, laughing and joking wit him everyday, but most of all Im gonna miss our arguments. We fought none stop, thats how we expressed our love.. I'll miss hearing him tell me that he loved me with all his heart and he'd do anything for me. Jus as I told him on a daily basis. I miss him so much already, my life will definitly have a permanent void in it until we meet again. I just wish I would have hugged him that morning and gave him my love before he walked out the door. Im sure he was able to translate my words into my actual feelings, because if there was one thing he knew, he knew that he could call his big cousin for whateva, ask me for anything, and I'd do whatever I could possibly do within my power to make it happen for him. Sending my condolenses to the rest of the family. I love you Tonio

My prayers and sympathy go out to Antonio's family and friends. Although I worked with Antonio for a short while, he became part of our hotel family very quickly. His work ethic was commendable; Antonio was always busy and looking for new things to do, and ways to help us with whatever we needed. He always looked out for his co-workers. Antonio used to joke that he was so busy all the time, his days would fly by, and I could see he was very happy! I will remember his wonderful spirit, full of fun and laughter. He was an original character, who always thought of others and always wanted to bring a smile and a laugh to our day. Please know how much life Antonio brought to our days here! We know he is with us always; thank you Antonio, for being in our lives!
