Hi Anthony,Well Its been just over a year since U left us to be with the Lord,,As one of his top Runners,& Another birthday has come & gone,,& By the way,"HAPPY BIRTHDAY belated.(Sorry)Hope they celebrate birthdays up in heaven.
Gramma just took Miss Chelsea Lynn to the vet,,as she wasn't looking too good,health wise,,she was loosing a lot of weight..well,Gramma just called me fron the vets & told me the bad news,,She has a bunch of tumers & her spline is swelld up & a few other not so good things,,so the way it looks Miss Chelsea Lynn will be coming to visit & to see U & Topper I knpow she missed him..soon.
It breaks my heart to loose one of our companion friends..but the way it looks,,It just a "matter of time"for her.
We buried her Mother,,Miss Missy Lynn, about two years ago.
OH ! by the way,,two mothers Miss Sherrie Lynn gave bith to 6 baby pups But one was sooo tiny ( only about 3 1/2 ounces at birth ) that he only lived about three weeks..We sold them all but the two boys,,She had 4 boys & two girls.
Then just recently Miss Classy Sassy gave birth to 4 puppies, but again,,one died,She had 4 girls..they are still too young to be sold yet.
Yah,,Gramma has been real busy hand feeding this last litter..Infact she spent a good amount of time hand feeding the real small one of Sherrie Lynns litter.Every 4 hours..
& with me tearing out the rotten wood & building the 12' x 12'floor of the new Fla.roo,we have both been busy..
I hear from John,Your uncle,,that Shawna is having a baby.. not sure when though.( ?? )
Well Anthony,,We want U to know we both & your dad & brother Ray,,miss U not being here.
So til I talk to U again,,keep running,,OH!Hows Topper Boy doing ??
I know U were suprised to see him again.."This time" "hes yours" "to take care of".Ha Ha ( Give him a hug for us..
So long for now,,G & G,, P.S.heres a picture of my computer dest ,w/a photo of U from the Corral Buffet in Brooksville ,,Remember ??
Love ya..Grampa & Gramma.

Anthony,Grandson,U sure left us in a hurry..We never got an chance to say good bye or so long..BUT we know the Good Lord must have been looking for a great runner & wanted someone as good as U, on His team, up there.U go get em..
U know I think back to the times U all
use to visit us up here on our property,helping us do a lot of things around the place,,
LIKE PUTTING STUMPS of trees I had cut down,on the sides of our driveway..& I use to give U money for to spend when U all got home to Pinellas Pk. & putting up the above ground pool.U & RAYMOND, REALLY HELP A BUNCH.Don't know if it would have gotten it up without U two..
Then clothes line poles for Gramma to hang the clothes on..U all did a great job on them too.
How about when U all got on the riding mower & your sister,Diana was driving & she hit a stump & bent the front axel on it,,& U know what,,Its still setting there, NOT REPAIRED..Oh well..I got too busy with other things,,U know how I am..
& when Raymond went into the
Marines,"U" became the main man.
& I asked U one day U were up here if U would help Me re-insulating the dog kennel,inside ceiling as the old fiberglass insulating didn't last..
& it was getting real hot inside for the dogs.even with the A/C running
Well,with your help,,me cutting & U installing & measuring the 2" foam,,we gotter done in no time at all.
Thanks to "U" It dropped the temperature about 20 degrees, Gramma & I both thank U "&" the dogs too.WOOF,WOOF.( Ha Ha )Topper really loves it..
We really missed U coming up to visit us..
We know how Proud U were of your brother,Raymond,when he joined the Marines.."HEY My brothers a Marine"
Gramma & I were glad to help U in your time of need too..When U called Gramma at about 2:30 in the morning,,telling her your wisdom tooth was giving U a lot of pain..Gramma told U that U would have to wait until the dentist opened up before we could do anything for U..So the first thing in the morning.I called the dentist & set U up for a visit ,,he told me to have U come right in,,which U did.He took xrays & put U on antibiotics til the swelling went down,,& had U come in to have it pulled..
& U paid us back for the dental bill.Which we appreciated..
from that time & when U met that girl,Michele,we never saw U again..then She got U to move to Orlando..& we got the word, something had happen to U..
& U had left us, to be with the Lord..& then we all saw U in in your beautiful Bronze casket,that Raymond,your Dad & your Mom, picked out for U.
Anthony,When U get there to meet the Lord,,tel him U are a very fast runner,"Like He doesn't know already"..O'K ??
We love U Anthony & always have,,But U already knew that.
Like Gramma always said to U,,"Love yah" "Anthony",,I'll be waiting for your touch..Don't forget..So long for now, Grampa,,til we meet again..Chow !

Anthony was a student in my mathematics class at St. Petersburg College. He was such a nice young man and a joy to have in class. Anthony and his friend Aaron participated in the SPC Relay for Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. This is an over night event, and they came late in the evening and ran for miles while the Mathematics Department team walked the track. My sincere condolences for the family's loss.
