MY BELOVED SON ANTHONY WAS A GIFT FROM GOD WHICH I THANK FOR THE 17 YEAR GIVEN. AS MOST CALLED HIM ANT IT WAS A DESCRIPTION USAGE BECAUSE HE WAS A PREEMIE AT BIRTH. BUT AS HE AGE NOTHING WAS SMALL ANOUT HIM. HIS COURAGE TO SAVE HIS GIRL FRIEND THE DAY HE WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED FOR NO REASON AT JUST BEING AT WRONG PLACE AT WRONG TIME. NOTHING SMALL ABOUT HIS AMBITION TO COMPLETE HS AND WAS ACCEPTED TO COLLEGE. NOTHING SMALL ABOUT KNOWING HE HAD TO WORK WISH HE WAS EMPLOYED AT WHITE CASTLE IN DOLTON KEEPING UP WITH SCHOOL AND CLOCKING LEGAL $$. HE WAS MY INSPIRATION FOR LIFE AND AND I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THE GOOD THE BAD TIMES FOREVER IN MY HEART AS LONG AS I LIVE. I HOPE I NEVER MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE MY REFLECTIONS TO TAKE TWICE IN A YEAR A TOKEN OF LOVE TO HIS GRAVE SITE AS I KNOW HIS HEAVENLY ENERGY IS MOST STRONG WHEN I SEE VISIT ON HIS BIRTHDAY AND FOR CHRISTMAS. MY SON WAS SO THOUGHTFUL ON THIS SAME YEAR HE BOUGHT ME A CAR BECAUSE OF MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE ONE I HAD AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVED IT FOR CHRISTMAS THAT YEAR BUT THAT VISON DIDNT COME TRUE FOR HIM TO SEE THE SURPRISE LOOK I WOULD OF HAD AND THE TEARS OF BEING HAPPY BUT I GOT THE CAR AND AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN HIS ACCEPTANCE LETTER TO EAST UNIVERSITY PROVES PHYSICALLY GONE BUT THE SUN STILL CAST SUNSHINE ON THE STORM I WAS IN DUE TO HIS DEATH. HE WAS SO KIND AND ADORABLE I CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW MORE WONDERFUL HE WOULD HAD BEEN IF STILL HERE. THE PAIN NEVER GOES AWAY ITS LIKE A EMPTINESS LIKE WEEKS OF NOT EATING AND PRESSURE TO THE HEART FOR IT HURTS SO BAD. I KNOW HIS SOUL IS IN A GOOD PLACE AND WHEN THAT TIME COME WE WILL SPEND ETERNITY. TO MY BABY ANTHONY THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU. MOMMY WILL CHERISH ALL THE 17 YEARS WE HAD AND LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY
