Anthony was a wonderful person, and showed nothing but kindness to our family. My husband and brother in law have been his friend for over 7 years, and he will never be forgotten in our hearts. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.

George Anthony was the sweetest young man anyone could meet. He was so loving. I will always remember his cute smile & how his whole face would light up with happiness. He was the kindest nephew. Anyone who had the opportunity to know him would agree that he was genuine. I love and will never forget "Antone." God bless you Mijo and rest in peace.
