Anthony ~
It’s been so long, but you’re still thought of so often. I wish you could have held on to witness some of the wonderful moments that happened after you left. I miss the comfort that you would have provided during the low moments such as mom’s passing. I only hope that you are at peace. Love you always.

Lee and Deloris,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can remember playing in the back yard, the swimming pool, the garage while my dad was wielding things, and in your home. Anthony (and siblings) were a huge part of my childhood. I will miss him and cherish the last time I saw him. He got to meet my kids and I never got the chance to meet his boys. My prayers and thoughts go out to them. He was a great guy.
