Terri, when we were young we said we would have our first children together and we did. And we raised them as brothers, you are my sister in my heart, and my love for Anthony will never die. Paul lost a brother that day, and never again will I take the blessings you and I were given that year for granted. I love you and am here for you. God Bless You ANFERNY!!!

Terri, My memories of Anthony are of him as an infant and toddler. He was so cute and so loved. It's hard to understand it all, but know that he's with his maker. He's with your family in Heaven. Prayer is a super power...use it daily. I'm very sorry.

I can't even put into words the type of pain my family and I are feeling. I remember the day that little boy was born, my mother called me from the labor room as soon as my sister had him and held the phone to his mouth, it was the most beatiful sound in the world. I just can't believe that today we had to bury our Anthony. I will love him and miss him forever.
Love Aunt Missy

To know Anthony was to Love Anthony. To know his life was to feel his torment. To soon was this young mans life extinguished. To soon was he taken from those that loved him. A sweeping hand of the almighty has carried him home, into the waiting arms of his Great Grandmother Lucia Carmela Mazzeo 'Me MA', where he will find comfort, understanding, peace and Unconditional LOVE. Our sympathy is with his family and friends

There is no torment that can even come close to the agony experienced in losing my grandson so violently and so young. I keep waiting for him to walk through the door as he did so often throughout his life. He was my golden boy. My Anthony.I love him more than words express. Life will never be the same.
