I am the worst at remembering faces and names, but when I came across this notice my life flashed to a time that will always be remembered with a smile. I was in the 10th grade with Tony and he was a good friend. I even drew a picture of him that I come across now and again, always brings a kind of peace over me, remembering times gone and innocence lost. God bless family and friends.
