Although my best friends and I are not related, we look towards each other as brothers and consider each other's family our own family as well. Today marks the day we lost a member of 'our family'. My family. In his absence, I have seen his son grow and mature into a responsible and respectable young man. It's what Anthony would have wanted, would have raised him to be were he still with us. I know he's up in heaven looking down upon Joshua and the rest of his family with a smile on his face. Proud of what his son has become. Rest easy brother.

My prayers goes out to you and your family. I am sorry that your life was taken away on that awful day, but I know that you are well taken care of in heaven. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Love, Karen
