Aunt Irma, Anthony and Linda,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Tony was my favorite uncle. Although we lived too far away to visit very often, it was always a treat when we could. Warm, generous, welcoming, full of joy and good humor, Uncle Tony was the quintessential host. He was always encouraging us to eat, drink, talk, laugh- and try one of those hot, hot chilies! He was a wonderful person, and I'm grateful for those happy memories. Love to you all.
