Tony. Every day I wake up I think of you then of your mommy. My sister. My heart breaks on my way to work as I am asking God for another day of blessings. I think of you and Grandpa and Grandma up in heaven having a good day every day. Makes me smile. No suffering or pain. Still can't believe your gone. But my nephew, you will never be forgotten!!! As long as I am breathing I will watch over your Momma. Tara. Abigail. Isaiah. Elijah and your Kaiah Jayne. Love always your Aunt Kimberly...
