Dear Constance:

I am so sorry to hear about Tony. Words cannot express my sympathy to you. I wish I could be there with you during this moment, but I can't. So, seize the moment with tears, laughter and memories. It's ok. We cry when our children come in the world and we can most definitely cry when they go out. The spirit of the LORD is upon you holding you with peace and assurance of his love.

Forever Love

The loss of such an outgoing and fun individual weighs heavy on my heart. I can only imagine how the family must be feeling. I pray for you all daily. I have faith that you will receive the closure that you need in order to move on in life as Tony would want you to. In Gods hands, all things are resolved. God bless you all.

Tiffany Liggons-Padmore

May 20, 2011

Awwww Tony.... I have so many memories of all of us when we were growing up in Fulton. You always had a joke to share or joking on people in general. I don't know why God decided to call you home, but he did and for that purpose I have to believe that you are resting in him. The last time I saw you, I saw you from a distance and wasn't able to say, "hello" but on one of these good ol' days when this life is over for all of us, you and me my friend will meet again!!! R.I.P Lil Tony!!!

Sherri Page-Thomas

To Dominic & Family,
Dom I want you to know that my heart aches along with you in the passing of your beloved brother. Always know that Ms Sherri loves you like her own and keep doing what Tony wanted you to do and you will be just fine. I will still keep my eye on you too(smile). May God be with you and all of your loved ones during this most difficult time.
Much Love from your Thomas Family

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal...

RIP Tony and my deepest sympathy goes out to the family. I know Tony from being friends with my brothers, and I cannot remember a time that he was around and didn't have everybody laughing. I can still see his smile and those pretty eyes. He will continue to live through his baby girl.

To Dominique and the Lee Family,

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times. Dom you know that Angela, Janai, and I view you as a part of our family and when you hurt.. we hurt. Sometimes things happen in life that we can't explain, we can't rationalize and we can't understand. It is only through our faith and trust in God that we can eventually find peace. Dom continue to do the things that would make Tony proud and in doing so a piece of him will live through you forever. Please remember that "Earth has no sorrow, that Heaven cannot heal".

To Gloria & Family:
I was sorry to hear bout the loss of your love one. I didn't personally know Tony, but had heard some many wonderful stories about him until it just feels like I know him. Please take the comfort in knowing that the Lord will see you all through what is a difficult time for you right now, for John 14:2-3 says
"In my Father's house are many mansions:if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
