Dear Sam and Nancy ,
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We realize your father fought a very long and tough battle and never gave up . God finally said enough is enough and now will give Anthony a place to be at peace. I know what it is like to loose a father and it takes time to learn how to deal with his loss. I believe we never heal from a loss of a parent but over time i do believe it teaches us to be grateful and to not take life for granted. I hope you always hear Anthony's voice and his words of wisdom that he left you . We love you very much Brad and Donna Manzara
