As one that tried to help Anthony overcome his health challenge, I will never forget the effort he and his mother, Toni gave to save his life.

In the 38 years I have been consulting those with similar challenges, I have never seen a more dedicated mother seeking the elusive "Lorenzo's Oil", as it were.

Having consulted over 11,000 patients, 80% with a diagnosis of "terminal cancer", I often ask myself why some conquer this dreaded dis-ease while others do not. To this date, I still do not have an answer. Perhaps, I never will.

Even so, I do not see the passing of Anthony in vain. I know those whom he touched, he touched deeply, including me. The memory of this young man will live forever in our hearts and minds, for I believe Anthony has merely transcended to a place where the physical confines of the human form are no longer needed. Where only light, love and truth exist as we live there in peaceful bliss.

Although the physical part of Anthony is no longer here, the truth of who he is will never leave. For love is all there is and he is that!

Sincerely,
Dr. James Chappell

Toni, our heart and prayers are with you. I truly admire the courage and love with which you and Anhtony both faced his battle with cancer. You have both set a very powerful example in our lives of NEVER giving up. Anthony loved Jesus, because you love Jesus. You taught him to keep his eyes on Jesus throughout his life and throughout his journey with cancer. Now that Anhtony has seen Jesus face-to-face, you must keep your eyes on Jesus too, knowing with all of your heart that Anthony is healthier and happier than ever. We love you, Martin and Alma
