Wow Antonio, you were one of my best friends in grammar school. You "protected" me. I remember the day you came to my parents house to show me how great you looked in your Army uniform. I was so proud of you. So many years later and I still thought about you. There are very few people you remember from childhood, but you were definitely one of them. May you continue your life in heaven.

well Dad, I've traveled to Chicago more times in the last week than I have in my whole life. It was amazing to see and meet all the wonderful people who's lives you've touched over the years. While I may not have gotten to know you well in your living years, my heart is at peace knowing that you are no longer in pain and that you have finally found the peace you've always been searching for. I know you are watching over your grandchildren, daughters, and family from Heaven. I forgive you Dad, I carry no anger with me, as I know you didn't on your trip home. I love you, Chrissy and Feleash love you, as do Talyn, Ellisyn, Jackson, and Gavin.
P.S. Not to worry, no one will be using your bar stool, as someone walked in and took it, in your honor. What a way to be remembered. :) xoxoxo
