Dear Tony I hope you know how much you were loved by me, Kelly, and your other friends and business contacts. You were a kind and gentle soul and I always felt at ease in your presence. You tested everybody with kindness. I’m sorry NC is a disappointment. I wished I lived closer to you but I fell in love with the mountains. It’s good you finally sold your house here and we able to go home. I’m sorry we lost touch after you went to Maine. I pray for your soul to the Holy Father. You are one of the best men I have ever met. I’m sad to read about your passing You are in the Lord’s hands now in the Kingdom of God. May you watch over us and pray for us as we will for you. You are in our minds and you will always be remembered for your ease to make friendships everywhere you went cooking delicious meals and pastries. So good. And when I think of you it will be always happy as you were in life. Thank you for being a friend. I love you Tony!
