Dear Cousin Joyce & Family,

Tony has traveled down a road that's calm and peaceful. God's loving hand is guiding him on a journey to a distant and much better place.

And although your heart is heavy with sorrow you will always bear, it may help to bring you comfort, knowing Tony is happy in this place.

Someday, you will be together again.

Every day, in some small way, memories of Tony will come your way. Memories in your heart today mean more than words can ever say. And, even though absent, he is always near, missed and always loved.

The memories you hold are a treasure, and his loss a life-time regret. We know that you loved him dearly. But, try to think God's will was best.

Jackie, myself and our family share your loss and your sorrow. We are blessed to have many memories of all our Bruno cousins growing up with uncle Tony & aunt Barb, and raising families of their own.

We will pray for God to give & the entire family the strength, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, guidance and direction to help get you thru each and every day.

Tony, he defined the meaning of marriage. The love for his wife, children, grandchildren and family was recognized everywhere he went. A remarkable and courageous man who befriended many, he was kind, considerate and giving. He was accepting and understanding. I, as well as everyone that had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Tony will miss him so very much.
