To the Bagnola family, I am very sorry for your loss. Tony and I were very close at a crucial point in my life, but had lost contact over the years as we took separate paths. Its tragic to see someone go so young but you have to believe that everything happens for a reason. Tony was an amazing man who I, along with everyone who ever knew him, will miss dearly.

My Tony,

You were taken so suddenly

at such a young age

We fight all the feelings

of heartache and rage.

We know that you are happy

We know that you are free

But it doesn't heal our hearts

When here is where you should be.

Our hearts are so heavy

It's been torn from our chests

How could God have taken

One of his very best.

We know you will help us through this life.

That you will always be there.

In our times of trouble

We will not fear.

We will never forget you

how you laughed,

how you smiled,

And your unbeleivable spirit,

which was so joyous and wild.



I will miss you my little brother.

You will always be in my heart.

Dona

Tony was so special to me, and I will never forget him. He used to call people special to him his angels, but now he is our angel. Love you forever baby.

Life is eternal;

love is immortal.

Death is only a horizon,

and a horizon is nothing

save the limit of our sight.



Our love and strength go out to all of you at this sad time. Tony will live on always in all of our hearts.

My deepest sympathy goes out the the entire Bagnola family and friends. Bags was a like a brother to me for a long time. We had lots of good times together as well as bad. Bags and I always looked out for eachother no matter what the situation was. He was always pure at heart and would do anything for the people he cared about. Bags always defined what a true friendship meant to him. He said "a true friend will always be there for you no matter what the situation brings", and he not only said that, but he lived by that. Thank you for being not only a true friend, but a brother. I beileve that you are put on this earth for a purpose and once you have served your purpose you are sent back home with the lord. Bags served his purpose in life with us and has now mived on to paradise. I know I've learned alot from him and I'm sure many others have also. Bags will be greatly missed by many and will always be a special person in my life as he is at rest. I'll miss you kidd......
