To All of Tony's (FREAK's)Dearest Family and Friends-
I never had the pleasure of meeting most of them personally, except at the wake unfortunately. They all seemed to be great, supportive people especially by the way you spoke so highly of them, I felt as though I knew your nefew and Manny, Victor, and Sandy personally. I know I feel blessed to have had you as part of my life, and I'm sure that they feel the same way. I am so proud of you and the way you gave back to the commuunity at the rescue mission daily. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family every day and with everything I do. You will forever be missed 'Freak' in my heart, and many, many others
