View all 495 ReflectionsSo hard to believe you would have been 40 years old today. You were taken from us at such a young age. Whenever I look back on your life I’m always amazed at the impact you had on so many while having spent such a short time on this orb. Needless to say I wish you were still here for my own selfish reasons. Today you’ll get to spend your 40th with Mikey, your namesake Grandpa Tony, and Grandpa Holly. Now that’s a celebration of storytellers that will keep you smiling and laughing all day. Just want you to know you’re remembered and missed and loved. Happy Fortieth!!!
