I wish u were hereI will never forget the Christmas where I hid your puppy behind all the presents & he came climbing out from them all when you all into the livingroom the puppy had perfect timing to climb out. And when u, Mariana & Billy went to the mall to Santa's workshop & made each other gifts & y'all were laughing so hard at what each other made. Well our family has a third generation to do all the fun stuff again. Wish u were in in body but your here in heart & soul. I miss u son...4-ever mom

Anne Mom

October 10, 2022

I often wonder what my son Anthony would be doing today. It'll be 7 yrs in Dec. Which is also unbelievable to me. Would he be married & have a kiddo? Would Audrie still be a part of our lives . I know he would be ecstatic w/his great niece & great nephrw And very proud of his nephew Mikey & where he is today. He's missed more than he'll ever know. As for my other wonders I'll never know.

Mom

Anne Mom

January 21, 2022

I see so many things in Anthony's nephew that remind me of Anthony constantly!!! But now that he's a teen he even resembles him. Anthony there's just so much your missing but I'm sure your seeing our little family grow from the heavens we've been extremely blessed & u should be here...or maybe not!
the earth is falling apart with disease & fathom. Your in a much better place. My son Anthony is FOREVER in my heart & soul. wish he was able to play w/his great-nephew, great- niece & his newest nephew 2 yr old Kolton.

I miss my son Anthony so much. But he wouldn't want me to grieve my life away in depression or self-pity that's just the type of man he was. If I'm giving a smile or helping hand to others in remembrance of him it feels as though he's right beside me & that's what he would want. I will 4ever carry my son in my heart!

I guess it probably comes down to this, only a mama's feelings need to keep her heart at ease by living in today with a warmth in her heart & a glow on her face bringing her to the page that brings so many loving memories of the son who will forever be her son & no one can ever take that away. I love & miss my Ant so much but I love him enough to let him fly free like the soul he was always meant to be♡♡♡ soon my son we will all be 1 again. All my love is for my children may God continue his blessings upon them all & all his children of the world.
