I remember Tony
I remember going to church with Tony as a kid. I taught Sunday School with his Mom Nana Lou. He had the most beautiful tenor voice. I loved to hear him sing. Precious memories of him and his family. Praying for you all.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Tony was such a good friend when I lived in Florence, I know he will be greatly missed, I will be playing for your family.
Sending our love and condolences…Dena and Jim
Amanda & Amy and your family members
The loneliest walk you’ll ever have to take is the one down the road of grief. I have learned grief is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. And all of that reserved love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
Sadly, the time is never right, and our heart is never ready to say goodbye to those we love so dearly. Always remember to keep all those wonderful memories in your heart as though it is an album filled with Tony’s life that has no last page. We love you girls, we send our deepest condolences. Dena and Jim Voegele
