Cancer can’t…
cripple love
shatter hope
destroy peace
silence courage
suppress memories
invade the soul
conquer the spirit
steal eternal life.
Tony – our oldest and dearest friend – we will miss you always. Love Ya!!
Shirley and family,
My heart goes out to you with your loss. I so enjoyed getting to know Tony and the family. I really enjoyed my visits with you and am sorry that I was not able to be with you the past few weeks. I know Tony is holding and cuddling Greta and our unnamed baby for me. Know that you will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Bless you all,

Dear Shirley & family,
Our deepest sympathy to you. We are so blessed to have you as our friends. We sure did build a lot of memories over the years. Tony was amazing, always had a smile and a great sense of humor. No matter what he faced, he held on that positive attitude and never said an unkind word about anyone. His courage is an example for all of us. He will be deeply missed!
Love, Dennis & Sharon
