Many on my crew spent several days with you and although we did not have the pleasure of knowing Anthony, we learned many things about him.

We believe that God our Heavenly Father holds each of our lives in His hands. He knew us before we were created and planned each of our days before we were even born. Though Anthony's days were cut short in our eyes, God wanted wanted Anthony with Him. During his time on earth he touched lives and brought joy to many. He was a good friend to our son whom he shared many things in common with. He will miss him greatly. We will all miss his smiling face and we greive with his family over their tremendous loss but but we also rejoice that one day we will see Anthony again in Heaven.

My son Joshua had the pleasure of knowing and being friends with Anthony. He practiced his guitar while Anthony played drums at each others houses. His Grandparents live in our neighborhood so Anthony and Joshua had the opportunity to "hang out" when Anthony visited his Grandparents. He was always so friendly and so polite any time he was around. A truly special young man. Our prays were with you during your search and are still with you during this difficult time. Our whole family is deeply sadened and Anthony will be truly missed.

As a neighbor 2 houses from Anthony we were able to see him mature into a fine young man. Watching him on his skate board and listening to the improvements in his music was a joy and brought back many memories when our two sons were growing. Living two houses away at times was a bonus, but as he improved outside concerts were welcome. We will miss him, but will not forget the enjoyment he brought to our neighorhood.
