Hello Anthony. It's been awhile since I have been on here and wrote to you. I miss you so much and Madison misses you so much. She always talks about you and what the two of you used to do together. I am dreading the end of this month so much. Actually I dread every single day but I know I have to go on the best I can. At the end of the month you have been gone from me for a year. I can't believe it. It feels like a lifetime since I have seen you, hugged you, and kissed you goodnight. At the same time it doesn't seem like a year has gone by. Anthony please be with me as I will need you to be. I love you so much and I miss you so much. Madison says hello too. Until next time I love you.
Your Mom

Anthony I couldn't sleep tonight as I was just laying there thinking of you. I miss you so much. Madison talks about you all the time. She misses you so much. I just want her to always remember you. I wanted to thank you for the gift. I know that it is from you. It is very hard right now but, I know in time it will get better. Everyday I wake up I think of you first because I think someday I will go in your room and wake you up for school.I don't know how to get over this Anthony. The only thing I do know is that I need to continue to share my memories of you with Madison. Well until next time I love you more than words and I miss you so much.
Love your Mother

Anthony,
I want you to know that we all miss you so much. Things are not the same anymore and never will be again. I dreaded your birthday because you were not here with us to celebrate it but I know you did up there. I know you were with me and Madison at your gravesite. Thank You. She had such a hard time I didn't know if I could handle it. She just misses you so much and she is kinda like me. She doesn't show her emotion the way she should. I feel really bad when people tell me that I am doing really good handling it. I guess the people who really know me know that I am just putting on a front. I want people to think I am doing okay so they don't worry about me. Madison started school where you went. She was very excited. Her teacher is Mrs.Stebral the one that was with you on the playground when you had to leave. She was happy to have her in her class. Anthony I Love and Miss you so much I can't go a day without crying. I thought I would be able to handle this cause I am so strong but I was wrong. Maybe you can help me cause I think I need it. Well I will go for now. Talk to you tonight. Love and Miss you so much.
Love your Mother and Madison

ANTHONY HEY BABY BOY I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU GOODNIGHT AND THAT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I MISS YOU ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER ALL THE FUN TIMES WE HAD OK
Beth Whalen
April 27, 2004
Anthony today is the 27th. It's been 2 months now, 60 days. It feels like a lifetime since you've been gone. I hope you hear me at night when I talk to you. I talk to you all the time everywhere I go. Remember you would always yell at me when I went through a yellow light? I kind of giggle when I still do that cause I know you are still yelling at me. I remember those times we had in the car on the way home everyday. We had alot of fun turning up the music loud when you liked the song and Madison yelling at both of us cause it was to loud. Anthony I'm gonna go now and sit and talk with you at the gravesite.I Love and Miss you more and more everyday.
LOVE
your mother

Anthony you were my baby boy and always will be. I miss you so much I can't even put it in to words. I talk to you every night I hope you hear me. I still don't understand why you had to go so soon. I guess it will never make sense to me. Madison misses you so much she tells me she talks to every night and she sleeps with her bear just like you. Every time she wants to give you a hug she hugs the bear. Anthony you were so special to everyone who knew you. You are missed by so many people. I've heard many of them tell me that it was their honor to know you. I think that says it all. Today is Madison's birthday and it's gonna be hard for me but I know you are here with us. Until next time Anthony I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU VERY VERY MUCH. To everyone who has signed this guest book I thank you very much for your kind words and all your prayers as they have reached me and my family.
Love You Always,
Your Mother

You are both in my thoughts and prayers and I am so sorry for your loss. Anthony had such a beautiful smile and I believe he is watching over all of you. I have heard his favorite song several times in the past two weeks and I think of Anthony while I listen to it. I am so glad he was part of our family. Thanks for sharing him with us. Love

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your very young son. I can not imagine the pain of your loss. I sincerly believe that God has taken Anthony to be with Him in Heaven to be an angel to help watch over His flock, I do believe God has plans for all of us and we do not know when, where or how, just that our time WILL come and we better be ready, but when a young child has to die, God has a special place for them, I just know this, they are the innocent ones and I really thing Anthony has his wings to watch over all of you in your time of sorrow and pain. I wish I could have been with all of you as I know Reba and Mike from Jr. high days, and I know how much they were hurting, I can not imagine you the parents. I am so very sorry. We have had so many deaths in our family this past 2 months as well, and today at my cousins, one of the relatives child went to school with Anthony, a very small world. God bless you all in your sorry and may He help you through your pain and grief. You will always have the wonderful memories, I hear from all the entries here that he was a wonderful young man, with a beautiful smile. May God be with him and you. You have been and will remain in our prayers. God Bless you and your entire family. To Reba and Mike, WE are so sorry and love you so much. God bless you as well.

I am greatly sorry for the loss of Anthony. He was a very active little boy with a great smile. I'm glad I had the opportunity to have had the chance to babysit him and know him not only as my cousin but a little boy. I will treasure those memories forever. I pray that your guardian angle will watch over you all and get you through this tough time. Beth I think of you every day and want to thank you for giving me that chance to watch Anthony and Madison. I send this with alot of love and deep felt sympathy.

To the Mother, Father, Sister and entire Family of this precious little being; I personally did not know Anthony, but as a father of two young boys myself, I can not even begin to imagine what life would be like without them. I do believe that God has a reason for everything that happens in the world, and I also believe there are Angels right here on earth that live amongst us that God calls upon from time to time.
Anthony Whalen was one of those precious little Angels that was called to Heaven!!!!
May god bless you and your family!!
Sincerely,
Randy, Zach, Aaron and Jean Van Ness

I am Anthony's cousin, his daddy's neice. We all are feeling pain in the loss of loosing our little Anthony. He was more than just a cousin to me, more like a little brother. To Beth and My Uncle Michael i am soo sorry that this had to happened and all we can do is ask WHY HIM? God has a plan for everybody and his plan was to make Anthony and Angel sooner than we all thought. Now we have nothing but GOOD memories and will always have him close to our hearts.
