It is so hard to believe you have not been here with us for 12 years. The wound never heals. You just learn to live with it. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I hope you and Mom and Steve are having a good time together. Love and miss you all so much.

I think of you all the time. And talk to you. I can't explain what a void that can't be filled it is when you passed. I know your in a better place and doing well. Can't wait to see you and get a big bear hug from you. I hope you and Steve had a great day together. I'm sure you do have many. And mom and Rudy and all of our family that is there. See you soon but hopefully not too soon. All my love........Mom

Hello, I just ran across this obituary trying to locate my old friend. I knew Anthony back in 1991/1992 and we were good friends until I moved to Southern California. I'm sorry sorry to hear that he passed away. May he rest in peace!!!!

It has been awhile.Although I do talk to you daily.It is hard for me to open up and share sometimes. I fianally met the guy who made all of this possible for us. What a wonderful man. You have brought so many good people to us and they are always here when we need them. I know you welcomed Dad with open arms.I hope to see both of you in my dreams soon or just feel your prensce. I have with you several times and it is so comforting. Our son and now my best friend. I miss you both so much. All my love to both of you and give each other a big hug for me. I am glad that neither of you are no longer suffering or in pain. All my Love

They say it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them but then .. An entire life to forget them. You are that person and will always be with us and never forgotten. Miss you so much. You leave behind an incredible family that I've learn to love so quickly. Look after them and protect them. Visit me and Harland when you can. We miss your laughter and smile. R.I.P. my dear friend.

Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn, and that's why they're here ..we will have that gift
forever. R.I.P. Anthony You will be missed so much! Thank you for helping me through a very rough time in my life! I won't ever forget you!

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I've lost too many friends over the years and when I do I always find myself reading this Irish Funeral Prayer. It brings me some sense of comfort, if only for a moment.
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.
Karen De La Vina

Anthony, I watched you grow up along side my brother (Anthony) - always "double trouble" when Anthony and Anthony were together. You will forever hold a special place in my heart! I know that you are surrounded by family and friends! Until we meet again.

Anthony, what an incredible loss to our family. You will be remembered fondly and will be missed immensely. My condolences to your family and especially to your parents. You will never leave their hearts. Leticia Clark (Phoenix, AZ)
