Dearest Judy,
My heart goes out to you for your loss. Also, in loosing Steve. My condolences to the whole family as well. I remember holding Tony as an infant in my arms before I got married. I was 17. So cute
He always was polite and sweet to me and greeted me with a hug. I miss Steve as well and I´m so sorry about him too. We had great times together didn´t we? Many. I´m sorry you had to go through such a terrible loss. I think of you often.
Take Care. Hugs

Tony has always had a heart of gold. Mike and I are going to miss our video chats on messenger with him. We could just call him and we'd all just laugh. He will be truly missed. Especially his smile! Sending our sincerest condolences to his family.
