Anthony (my brother),
This is the 1st time I am writing you. I am not very good at writing or finding the right words to say. I have so much to say, but can not find the right words to say them. Here goes:

The holidays have come and gone but there was something missing and it was you!! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. The kids are getting so big and they still talk about you as if you are still here. It makes me happy a little inside that they still thinking and talk about you...when they talk about you my eyes start to fill up with tears. I try not to cry to let them know to be strong but when I walk away my tears have a mind of their our.

Mom is still hurting and has so many questions that I wish I could find the perefect word or words to tell her to make her heart and mind be at peace. Dad is hanging in but if you look into him eyes you can see that he is wondering the say thing mom is doing.

I am writing you this but I know you can see and hear everthing from heaven!!

Its your sisters birthday today. I will call her to wish her a happy birthday and tell her you said "hello"!!

Talk later and miss you so!!! XOXOX
your sister,
Angela

Anthony- Christmas is here & it's not the same. We miss you Ant & wish you were here. I pray daily for mom & dad, they are really having a hard time. I know in my heart you're in a much better place it's just that the selfish part of us wish we could spend more time with you. We love you & will never forget you. God Bless!!!

Love Aunt Jackie & Uncle Tony

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Anthony- Our dear nephew, but more like a son to Uncle Tony. We will miss you so much. It won't be the same without you coming over to hang out or just a simple phone call you'd make asking how we were doing. Your heart was huge! I never met anyone who would give whatever they had and wouldn't ask for anything in return. Our heart aches for your entire family. We were so fortunate to have him as a part of our family. We remember all the stories he would tell us about his brother & sisters children & how his eyes would just light up with joy when speaking of them. He loved his nieces & nephews. Anthony's love was real and everytime he'd talk to us he would say he loved ya so freely, well Ant we love you too but I guess God loved you more. Rest in peace Anthony because good-by is not forever & good-bye is not the end. They simply mean we will miss you until we meet again.

All of our love All of our lives!

Uncle Tony & Aunt Jackie xoxo

Anthony,
You were a big brother to me. I can still hear you saying to me " If anyone ever messes with you sister in law you let me know I'll take care of them." You were always ready to protect your family and I am sure you will still be protecting us from above. You were a great person and had the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. You will be greatly missed and you will always be in our hearts.

Anthony would do anything for anyone, especially his family, for who he loved so much. He will be sorely missed. I hope they run a 24 hour Three Stooges station just for you buddy (Nyuck! Nyuck!) We’ll see you again cuz. We love you!!

No bond can be greater than that of a parent and child. Even though Anthony is with the Lord, we will keep him in our hearts forever. I can't begin to express our sorrow for all of your families loss.
He will surely be missed.

There are too many memories for me to share, I would not know where to begin. He had so much love to give, and asked for nothing in return, just your presence would warm his heart. On May 20, 2008 I lost a part of my life that cannot be returned, But I will rejoice in knowing he is home with God, and I will see him again. Love ya Bro
