I can remember the little neighbor blonde boy running around like a little crazy guy when I was growing up. He was always so cute running around our houses. He grew up into such a handsome young man. May he watch over you all as your angel now!
RIP Anthony - You will be missed by all!

To the weakland Family,
My thoughts & prayers are w/you all. I grew up just down the street. I didn't know Anthony because of the age gap but I did grow up w/ Marky & Matt. Our families have known each other 4-ever. I'm sure if If I had the chance to get to know him he would have made me smile & laugh. Just keep all those happy memories of him going & he will never be forgotten.

Julie, Grandma Jean, Ally, Amy, Mark and the rest of the family - I'm praying for you guys daily.

Tony, I've cried myself to sleep every night since you've been gone. We would always talk about getting famous and getting our music published. You were there for me through thick and thin. You were there when I needed a place to stay, or a shoulder to cry on. School, or anything in that case anything wont be the same without you.

To the Weakland Family~

You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I always enjoyed listening to Anthony share his outlook on life with me and his fellow classmates. He definitely enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest. In the words of Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

I regret I will be unable to make it to calling hours or the funeral. I will be praying for you especially hard during those times.
