I'm so sorry to hear of 1st cousin Tony's passing. Tony was a very kind cousin growing up. Our families spent many happy hours together at our grandparents' house in Ashburn, Georgia, and later on in Oxford, Florida. My wife Robbie joins me in thought and prayer for Tony's children and his brother Larry. We wish for each of you God's peace to bring comfort as you face the empty days ahead and loving memories of Tony to forever hold in your hearts.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to the loved ones of Tony. I have fond memories of our childhood celebrating holidays at Grandma and Grandpa Burke's home. I always looked forward to when he and his family would visit. Tony was always polite and kind. As we grew up we did not see each other often. The last time I saw Tony was in 1997 and he was the same as I remembered in our childhood. He still had such a pleasant smile.
As we lose someone dear to us, it is never easy, but we have the comforting assurance that we can reunite with them in heaven. Until then, we hold our deepest love for them in our hearts and treasure the memories in our minds forever.
May God bless and comfort your family during this time.
