Tony, it's coming up on 45 years since you were called home. You were never forgotten. How could you be? You were a huge piece of the family puzzle. You never got the chance to see me grow up. I was only 18 when when our family was broken by the loss of you. But I always knew you went to Heaven. You just went before everyone else. You never left my thoughts or my prayers and I know you never really left. I didn't understand so much at that time but I do now. And I know I'll see you again. We'll all be together one day. I am so comforted to know that you and Dad and even Grandpa were there to meet Ronny. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning too. And smoke inhalation. I miss all of you. So much. So much of my heart is already there. The rest of me will come when God says it's time. And I'll be so happy to see you. It's been so long. And to see Mom, Dad and Michael. And my heart will be whole when I can hold my Son again. I love you Tony. I will keep honoring your memory until we're together again. My cool car big brother. ❤️
