Anthony as I knew him, showed daily how much his Christian faith helped him and the security to fight this disease .
His path crossing my lives journey has made me a better person.
Linda, I’m a phone call away, I will reach out soon, if you need anything and I can help please give me a call.
I will always think of you Linda,as a great friend and have comfort knowing Anthony is with the Lord, and was a true and faithful servant.
If you were part of Anthonys life and any if these labels were part of you , how special your life was, if he were to you husband, or my dad, or my brother, my grandpa, or my great grandpa, you have been truly blessed.
I will miss my friend.
