My dearest Anthony,
I’m writing this to you here since I know that I will not be able to speak in front of a room full of people. I loved you so very much and I'm going to miss everything about you. Words can't describe how much I'll miss you. You were my heart, my soul, my everything. A huge piece of me is gone and my heart is broken and it will take a very long time to mend if it ever truly will. I’ll miss being able to talk to you, get your text and funny doggie photos. I’ll miss you coming to my house going through the pantry and refrigerator for any leftovers.
As a little boy, you were strong willed and determined but always smiling. You were always trying to get your way and I must say it did work at times, but not all the time. You were just so dang cute!!! You grew up to be very caring, sweet and loving young man, always caring for others and making people laugh. You weren’t negative about people or things. You taught be to just go with it and let it be what it is and move on. You were my protector and I knew you always had my back and knew If I ever needed you, you’d be there. I’m not surprised to see and hear all the lives you’ve touched; you were a special young man. You will be truly missed by all.
I love you Anthony, now, always and forever until my dying day. You’ll always be with me and I’ll never, ever forget you and the way you made us all laugh. You and your brother are my biggest accomplishments and are my whole life. I’m very proud to have been your mom and having you as my son. Rest in Peace, Anthony
Love you always & forever
MOM!!!
