Tony Clair was a big favorite of everyone's at Help of Christians. My parents, John and Mary, thought the world of him. We hated to see him leave us, but we were happy he found his true calling as a husband and father. God bless him.

Dear Carol,
As a classmate and long time friend of Tony, I send along to you my prayers so that he may have the fulness of life promised to those who are in the Book of Life and that you and your family may have peace and consolation. Unfortunately I cannot attend the funeral due to recovery from surgery. I will be with you in spirit.

"God never loved me in so sweet a way before. 'Tis He alone who can such blessings send. And when His love would new expressions find, He brought thee to me and He said--'Behold a friend'."
Deepest sympathy on your loss -- a great loss to us all.
