Guest Book

I just heard that my friend from from the college Anthony passed away. Receiving a call from his former workmate that he was gone, floored me. He was truly one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met. There was never a time when I needed assistance or something taken care of that he wasn't right there to handle it. He made me laugh, smile, and feel good about the day when I was feeling down. There was an, "I am living my life no matter what the day brings" kind of attitude, which was infectious. I pray that GOD received this awesome man with open arms and a song. Peace and blessings to the family and all who loved him and will miss him.
