Mrs. B and family,
I am sure you won't remember me, but I sure do remember you! I grew up just 5 houses down from your home there in Winter Park. And you two were always so nice to me. I am so very sorry for you loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time in your lives. God Bless you all

For four years I sang in the tenor section of the Messiah Choir with Tony. This would have been our fifth year together. I know he was looking forward to receiving his five year medal. I will miss him because he was a charming gentleman and always kind with a smile on his face. May God bless him and keep him in Heaven where we will meet again.

Dear Mary & Family
I wish there were words to say just to ease some of the pain I know you all feel . My prayers & thoughts are with you all. Here is a letter I found I hope you find some comfort in the words.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God
above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
God Bless you all .

My sympathies go out to the Benedetto Family. Tony was always a very polite and caring gentleman. He would go out of his way to ask how you were and truly cared about your wellbeing. Tony was a class act. I will truly miss him.
