Anthony you will be missed you were a good man a good father and grand dad thank you for everything you did
We miss you so much, it’s going to be a hard road going forward without you. You were such a great dad to Monica and grandpa to Aliah, and a father figure to so many of Monica’s friends, it didn’t matter what we did or what we were going through, you were always there for us, sometimes better than our own parents. You opened your home to any of us that needed a place to stay, and you gave advice to any of us making hard decisions. It was always so easy to talk to you, and now that you are gone I am going to do my best to be there for Monica so that she still has someone to talk to when she needs. I promise that we will make you proud Anthony. I love you so much and I am so happy that you were in our lives.
