I had hoped that waiting a while to write this would give me some time to come up with some words of wisdom. No such luck. Still feel the same way I did when I first heard the news of Anthony's passing. So sad. Such a wonderful person taken from this world way to soon. Anthony was loved, liked, and respected. He was such a great young man. Prayers for Anthony, his family, and Kristina and Kieya. Rest in peace sweet soul!

Dear Anthony,
Our time was limited here on earth. Although, you left earlier than expected, the time that was spent, in your presence, was an accumulation of a lifetime of memories. You had such an impact on every life you touched. I am grateful and blessed to have known such an incredible soul. You touched the life of many in my family including my cousins Kristina and Kieya. You will forever be a part of our hearts and we thank you sincerely for teaching all of us an important lesson in life...live, laugh and love every day, every moment you can! Thank you for gracing us with your amazing spirit and teaching us all how precious life is! I know you will continue to do so!

June 14, 2010

To all of Anthony's family and loved ones and most especially to Annie and Chris,
May Almighty God comfort you and engulf you with His love during these trying times. We hope and pray through the intercessions of our Blessed Mother that you may be comforted in the knowledge that through faith in the ressurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will all be united one day. Our prayers are with you,

I am still in shock....I have known Anthony most of my adult life. I am deeply saddened by what happened.

Reading the outpouring of comments posted on the online news stories - It is evident how greatly loved he was by his friends and family.

I can only imagine how difficult of a time this has been for everyone who has been touched by Anthony. He was a solid and sincere young man who will always be remembered for his protective and caring nature.

My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones during this painful time.
