Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
So sorry to hear about Uncle Tony. He ALWAYS had a smile or a story for us when we were small. I didn’t know about the service until this evening and I’m not able to get away this weekend. I’ll let mom know and I’m sure she’d want me to let you know that she always thought a lot of your dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
My thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of Uncle Tony. Tony was my godfather and I always loved coming for a visit. He was a great man and is now back in Heaven with Aunt Georgia.
So sorry to hear about Uncle Tony. He always had a smile on. I’ll be thinking of all of you.
