Please accept my deepest sympathy during this difficult time! I worked in the building next to Tony's, he was a great guy, and I met some of his family members and friends at the hospital. I want you to know that I am still praying for your family, and to his Mother Melda, my heart goes out to you!! May the Lord comfort you in your time of sorrow!!!
