Norma, I'm so sorry about your loss.I have so many fond memories of him.
Anthony was a kind hearted guy. I could remember when I was younger, coming over and swimming in your pool, playing Basketball, riding bikes, playing hiding go seek together.Teasing each other and the biggest thing was jumping in the pit behind Joe Falcone's house. I'll miss him deeply, My childhood friend.

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'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I would like to take the time to express my deepest sympathies to Anthony's family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Norma Caruso

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words, prayers and expressions of sympathy during this very difficult time. It has been said that it is not the length of time that we are here but the possitive impact that we have left in other lives. I know that my son's life thou short has made a difference in so many other's lives. Just to hear from so many of his family and friends about how they felt about Anthony has comforted me in ways that words cannot express. Please continue to reach out to his children as they will need to hear these words from his friends. It is going to be a very difficult time ahead for them and hearing fom his friends will help to ease the pain. Your kind word will keep him alive in their hearts. Peace and Faith be with all of you.

Love from Anthony's Mother, Norma.

Carol and family,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. My husband and I met Anthony when we moved into Phase II of the Royce Run development. He was a great person and was very proud of his family. He was always patient when I asked a million questions regarding his maintence and care of our lawn, plants and flowers. We will surely miss him...May you find peace and strength in the Lord.

Carol Caruso

My children (Amanda, Jessica, Anthony Jr, Brandon) and I would like to express our appreciation for everyone's kindness at this very difficult time in our lives. Words can not describe the pain we are going through at this time and there are no words to comfort children whose daddy was their hero. I can only pray that with the support of our friends and family things will get easier as time goes on.

In closing I would like to offer everyone a piece of advise. Never go to bed angry and always let the people you love know it everyday because someday, that person may not wake up like my husband never woke up.

Words cannot begin to express our sadness at Anthony's passing. He was a great friend and a devoted family man. You won't find a father more proud of his children anywhere!

What we loved about him most was the fact that he was genuine. He was never a phony. What you saw was what you got with him. He was so humble.

I already miss seeing him every morning when I'm on my way to work & I'd pass him in front of his house. That big hand going up into a wave and that even bigger ear-to-ear smile will never be forgotten.

We will miss him beyond any words written here.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Carol and the children, as well as Anthony's parents, sisters and brother.

Dear Carol, I don't know where to begin, or even what words to say to you. I am so sorry that you lost your best friend. I have known the both of you for a very long time, and always believed the two of you were meant to be. Just remember all the happy and fun times you shared together. You have your children to remind yourself of the special love that you shared. Anthony will watch over you and keep you safe and want you to be strong. I am so sad for you that this happened. I am here for you. Please take care of yourself, and know he is smiling down at you.

Dear Caruso Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.Anthony was my neighborhood friend growing up. I have so many great memories of us climbing trees, playing with bugs and running around the neighborhood together. Even though we went our seperate ways in school he was always friendly if I saw him around town. I was always glad to hear how well he was doing for himself and his family. Please know that in this difficult time you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Family of Anthony,
We have known Anthony as our neighbor since a child... Whenever we saw him he was always friendly and he always gave us a nice smile. He always took time to ask about us and our children. We always viewed him as a very hard-working, family man. Now we see his children get on & off the school bus, ride their bikes around the house, and walking with their friends... We will always think of him and pray for his family as we pass by. We have nothing but very fond thoughts and memories of Anthony and his family... Please accept our deepest sympathy. May the peace of God be with you all continually. Most Sincerely, Fred & Cindy Weiss

Dear Norma and Family:
I'm truly sorry for your lose. I know the heartache of losing a child. I lost my daughter Valerie 7 years ago. I don't have the answers but trust in the Lord to get you through the days ahead. If perhaps you need to talk, I'm hear to listen because I understand. May you find comfort, and remember you will see your son someday. God Bless

I was so very sorry to hear of your loss. Please try and remember the good times you had as a family and know that God is holding your loved one close. Norma, you used to babysit my son Bobby (Townsel)who passed away 4-18-06 at the age of 28. It has been a very tough road to go down but with the help of your family and friends you will get through it. We will pray for all of you to get peace and comfort now.
Sincerely,
Janet and Anthony Brigandi
