To Uncle Anthony, in loving memory...

It seems impossible that it is already three years since you passed. I think of you every day. We (family and friends) miss you so much! You were always so kind, wise, generous, and interested in whatever we were doing. I knew I could always talk to you -- though sometimes I did not agree with you or follow your advice. Still I valued it, as I knew you wanted the best for me... and, in fact, for everyone.

I remember all the good things you taught by example. Some of them were: Have faith and count our blessings; work hard; rest also and have nice times; "Pace Yourself"; plan things out; and take care of each other!!

We learned so much from you during your final days on earth. We know you are in Paradise now, and we are beyond happy to think of you there with so many of our other special people!

Love, Diane ❤

Dear Uncle Anthony, It is already two years since your passing. ✝ You were such a blessing to us all our lives. Your faith, wisdom, love, singing with the guitar, stories, guidance, and humor still live on in our lives. You went through many hard times and also many good times in your earthly life.

We are happy you are at peace now and spared of this worldwide pandemic. We will think of you as we pray to God to help us to be strong and work according to His will as we try to deal in faith with all the brokenness on earth.

May we be reunited with you and all our loved ones when our time comes. We still sing, "You Are My Sunshine" and carry on family traditions and memories with grateful hearts. Thank you so much for everything. RIP, dear Uncle.
Love, Diane and family ❤
