Delores and all of Tony’s family …
It doesn’t seem possible that this is the Tony who sat in the middle row in
science classes all those years ago. His quiet curiosity was a teacher’s delight.
I’ve often asked about him and would have welcomed the opportunity for a visit.
My heart is with all of you as we share this last goodbye. Treasure the good times and all
the memories. That’s where the healing lies. Prayers and hugs going out to all of you.

To the family: May you find comfort in knowing that God is close to the brokenhearted and there will be a resurrection.

Jacob sitton says
it is 04/27/2023 when I put this up here, I cannot stress how his death and the subsequent days after until the celebration of life all play on repeat in my head. To my family on my father’s side, I’m sorry I couldn’t DO more for him in life; LEARN more from him. Please know I loved him as much as you guys did, he was my papa and always will be.
To those who wished my grandma and family blessings and prayers, your messages have been a comfort in the days without him. I know we all miss him, to me he was the scraggy Santa Claus looking person who I called Papa; who taught me basic computer skills and helped explore similar curiosities I had as his.
To my son Jesse whom will see this one day, Papa loved you. He could not stop smiling when he picked you up and played on the computer with you watching with awe. You were a joy in his life till the end, as you are my joy. I only hope I had gotten in contact with my fathers side of the family to let you know and get comfortable with our extended family.
Love and blessings to all, may your stars bless your path.
