Dear family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Anthony. I am sure he was loved by many.
The death of a loved one is never easy. Even through these difficult times, the Bible has wonderful
news for us. Please read Revelation 21:3,4. This scripture shows that our living creator, Jehovah, promises that death will end soon. For more information, please go to jw.org. There are many more scriptures to comfort you.
Hoping the best for your family.

To my “Sister” Stacy: I cannot express how sad I am for you and TJ. I know how it feels to lose a Daddy…..Your relationship with your Dad was so genuine and not just a Father-Daughter one, but a friendship as well. It showed whenever you were together. May the memories you have bring you comfort at this difficult time.
I can’t help but think he’s with his buddy, my mean old step Daddy, up in heaven and they’re livin it up as they did when they were with us.
Your Daddy will always live on in your laughter. Love you always.
Kenny & Lynn Phibbs

To the family:
Tony was a wonderful person always the same each time I saw him . I work @ St Francis hospital when I realized it was Tony I called to his room the first thing he said was he was sorry to hear about the death of my husband JP it didn’t matter how he felt @ the time he was thinking about my loss. Tony will be missed
I’m sending my condolences to the family
Remember earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal my sincere sympathy
