Wally, Tanya, Anna and most of all Anthony, Stephen and Annie, I am so sorry for your loss. He was so proud of his family and children. I met Tony 6 months to the day God took him back, it's never been a better 6 months, nor could I have had a better friend and companion. I will miss you always Tony and you are forever in my heart. Sleep peacefully my friend, you are safe in God's arms and no more struggles. I am so grateful to have had even this brief moment in time together, you made my days special from the moment I met you. Love you. Linda
