My brother Tony, I am going to miss you! ❤️ Mary Thornton
Tony was our chauffeur on our trip to New York about 2 years ago. That was the most time I spent with him at one time. We had a great time. It's something about spending time with family that seems to put everything in check. Tony was sick then but he put on his strong suit and pressed on. He was known for being tuff. We as a family will truly miss him.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for the Wesley family as God carry each of you through this chapter in your live. Clyde Chisolm Beaufort,S.C.
