To the family of Tony Wise..words will never adequately express the sense of loss felt by Tony's passing. I find comfort in knowing that death is merely a doorway through which we all shall pass.

I pray God's peace be with you and may his love, Power and grace abide with you and yours,always.

Tony Wise, my friend, my coworker, my manager, one of the nicest, most compassionate, caring persons I ever met in the workplace…honest, caring, a devoted husband and father, loyal and dedicated to his employer is gone too soon. If friendship were a sport; I would retire his jersey. Tony walked with kings, but never lost the common touch. In the coming days as I seek to understand the Wisdom of His Ways. Why is life forfeited upon demand? Rest in Peace my friend. You made the best of the telephone company for so many of us. May eternal light shine upon you.

To the Wise Family, Margie, My heart is full at hearing of the passing of my friend, schoolmate and friend in Christ, Tony was the same from the day I met him many, many yrs ago, although we didn't have the opportunity of seeing/talking together much as we got older, the love/friendship was always the same as I families were so close-knit, Know that my family and I love Tony deeply for the kind, gently soul that he was and will forever keep him in our hearts, though God so fit for more work in His Kingdom, we have to accept that and let go and Let God.........God shall be your comforter,,Love vivian/James(Poolie)Williams and family

The following poem was read at Mom's funeral and it helped us through that time. We hope it brings you the same comfort that it brought to us.
Miss Me-But Let Me Go
Author Unknown
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set on me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little--but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
miss me--but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss Me--But Let Me Go.
Our Prayers are with the family during this time.
