Tony will miss your beautiful smile on my late night runs to walmart. Always joking with me saying how I’m catching up to you with how many children I have. God bless you Tony you will never be forgotten!

I wished I had the opportunity and the honor to meet the brother of the sister who became my best friend (Martha)just a few months ago. Just by listening to her stories and feeling her sorrow, I feel like my heart and soul is with a loss also.  To Martha (and all her family I hope to meet; and to her family who left this earth and are in God’s hands) may love always carry you home.

To the family of our beloved friend tony u will deeply be missed and will always remain in our memories . You are in each one of your children so we will never forget you .Memories are what keeps are loved ones alive in our hearts and minds we will miss u tony  ur friends darrin (pop) hammond and girlfriend Theresa

ANT ALWAYS SHOWED ME LOVE, WE WOULD JOKE ABOUT OPENING A SPANISH SOULFOOD PIZZARIA WITH GRIT FILLED CALZONES, RICE AND BEAN PIZZA WITH PIGS FEET. HE WAS I BROTHER I NEVER HAD AND I KNOW THAT GOD PUTS PEOPLE LIKE HIM IN OUR LIVES TO REMIND US THERE IS A HEAVEN. I WISH I WASN’T WRITING THIS BUT MY HEART KNOWS GOD TOOK HIM HOME BECAUSE HE TOUCHED EVERYONE GOD WANTED HIM TO,HIS WORK WAS DONE. NOW MY DEAR FRIEND YOU CAN FINALLY REST LIKE WE ALWAYS TALKED. TO THE FAMILY I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU’RE HURTING BUT WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND ONE DAY WE WILL ALL SEE HIS SMILE AND HEAR HIS LAUGH AGAIN. I CAN’T IMAGINE GOING TO THE STORE AT NIGHT AND NOT HEARING HIM LAUGH AND JOKE. YOU WILL BE MISSED DEARLY.
TERRI WE WILL BE HERE FOR YOU AND THE FAMILY. MAY GOD HOLD HIS HEALING HANDS OVER THE HEARTS OF YOU AND THE KIDS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
