Hey buddy ,

Oh sweet Anthony , the hard losses here are so very difficult . As you probably already know my mama just departed here to join you and all the others on the other side .
I hope you all were able to greet her when she arrived . I'm still struggling with your departure and my mama going home is as fresh and as raw as it gets . The pain I feel in having to say goodbye is almost unbearable but at least we had a little bit of time to do so , unlike with your departure where there was not a chance to tell you how much I love you and what impact having you in my life had on me . Please look out for my mama over there and if you can please let me know if you were able to connect with her or tell her I'd really like to know from her that you all are experiencing the bliss I hoped that you are ❤

Hey Buddy ,
You have been on my mind so much , yesterday was particularly hard in that I was thinking about you more then anything else and missing you sooo much. I'm not sure why it was so much more heavy then my usual thoughts and missing of you ... but it was really pulling on my heart.
I Love you Ants , your place in my heart is solidly carved in a permanent way. No amount of time passing or changes in my life will ever change that . The awesome photo of you and Ranger boy is still displayed in katie and Brooklynn's room
I look at it very often ( I'm guessing you already know that kind of stuff, In an angel like way ... Brooke is very close to ranger , she calls him her ranger boy ❤ he considers himself her gaurdian , ( im sure you know that too!)
I wish you were here to watch her grow up she is amazing and such the cool little girl , y
I miss you so much , all I can do tho is remember you , talk to you and hope u hear me and to write you my thoughts here .
I'm still so very sad you are no longer here in in the flesh , oh how I'd love to give you a super big hug and tell you how much I love you , as you know too , Kate hasn't been the same since you left here ,I long fir the days before things got so screwed up, losing you has effected us deeply .
Until next time , know how much I love you and know how very very special you are ❤

Three years ago today , you left this world abruptly , with no goodbyes , no last words to be spoken,the pain unbearable ,our hearts completely broken.
our lives changed forever ,when we heard what had occurred , that days events , permanently seared, in our hearts and withIn our brains , it's etched forever,With the deepest pain . Three years have passed,the tears still fall , three years have passed ,life's not the same, three years have passed , we miss you so , three years have passed , and we want you to know , you are with us always , we didn't let you go .
Love you forever Ants , we will never forget

Hi Anthony , I'm having a hard time understanding why the last three or more entries I've tried to make on here are not showing up . Doesn't make sense but I'll keep trying , I love and miss you so very much , tears still fall often , sometime like a raging river, sometimes like a crashing wave and other times they well up and spill over like a slow moving mountain creek , but as I have said before time hasn't lessened the heartache or how much I miss you
The impact of knowing and loving you will stay with me the rest of my days.
I love you always

I sure do miss you Anyhony, I think about you so very often and my heart is so very sad.
There are soooo many reminders of you , everyday.
I wish I could hug you , I wish I could hear your voice again, I wish you were here.
I think of you when the hummingbirds visit, i think of you when I look at ranger boy, I think of you when the sun shines, I think if you when the wind blows , I think of you when it rains. I think of you when I watch the ocean , I think of you when I see a skateboard
I think of you when I see jimbo Phillips art, I think of you when I see a pair of vans shoes or Santa Cruz brand clothing , I think of you when I hear certain music or songs. There's so many ways that I am reminded of you and while I am reminded , I feel sad ,but I manage a little smile because, I do love you so very,very much.
i miss you Anthony, more and more everyday.

It's With a heavy heart ,That I go back, 2 years ago today when everything went black,
2 years ago today Katie received that dreadful call, 2 years ago today
It made her crumble and fall.
With the sorrow so heavy she couldn't stand, with her heart so broken , it resembled grains of sand.
She fell to the ground , she screamed her pain , the words she Spoke,forever ingrained.
I held her up , and hugged her tight, I wished it away with all of my might.
There was no comfort that could change it ,no words to take it away,that pain in her heart was intending to stay.
We cried together, we cried alone, refusing to accept it , hearts turned to stone.
2 years ago today ,with the deepest of sadness and a room full of gloom, sat our devastated hearts , you were taken too soon.
The wounds haven't healed, there's not even a scab, they sit wide open, as if just stabbed..
We miss you so much Ants and love you even more , not a day goes by without you on our minds , not a day goes by we don't wish to reverse time.
We love you Anthony ,this couldn't be more true, our hearts are aching ,while missing the only YOU!
Xoxoxoxo & Xoxoxoxo
In our hearts and on our minds, keeping you with us until the end of time ❤

Well, today is ur birthday (as u well know!!)
my thoughts of you today have been sentimental & bittersweet they have consumed me at times and overwhelmed too but they also made me smile, the kind of smile that u can feel with ur eyes..,
I chickened out on the Crepe place idea, but I honored you in many other ways , and I do have to say , interestingly , I got face- buzzed by the same hummingbird like 3 times in a row. ! It both made me happy and startled the crud outta me !
It was out front , we usually get hummingbird visits in the backyard, so this was a little unusual , I felt it was signicant.i believe you know why. Anyways , I held you close today , my mind flooded with many different memories in both rapid fire speed and vivid slow motion, happy memories , sad memories and difficult memories , all the thoughts of what ifs , if onlys and wish we coulds, it's been an emotional day, I miss you!
Happy Birthday Anthony,
I Love you.

This is a shock. I was best friends with Anthony from 2nd grade to high school. After he moved to Santa cruz we kept in touch but eventually lost each others numbers. I was thinking about him and randomly googled his name and found he passed. Today is a very sad day. Even though I haven't seen tone in 10 years I still feel the loss of an amazing friend. We grew up together and I'll never forget the memories. So many memories. I'll never forget you smoke.

Your Birthday is coming up , Sept 22, etched in me forever.
Last year was pretty hard & I imagine this year to be the same. I miss you so much, as all of us that love you do. If you were here we would probably have lunch at the crepe place as that's were u most often chose to celebrate , at least in terms of celebrating with me and Katie. If I can stand the sadness I may go there on your birthday as a tribute to our good memories. I imagine you would order ur favorite , the crepe fredo and a root beer!
I love you Anthony, I think of you all the time & missing you deeply. You carved out a very important place in my heart, and my daughter losing you was the single most painful and difficult experience I've ever had to witness my child go through! It's something she still hasn't fully accepted or fully processed as her reality, it's been extremely difficult for all of those who love you, I'm happy to have a place to express the feelings I have , saying them aloud to you helps a little , writing them here and in journal form helps a little too.. Otherwise I just hold them in my head and in my heart , sometimes it's too heavy to hold on to in silence and I need to let them out, I hope you hear me when I talk to you, I really like to believe you do. I miss you and I love you deeply
