View all 95 ReflectionsAnthony, you will always be in my heart, my brother. I will forever cherish the laughs we shared at the Sheriffs Office. It weakens my heart for this tragedy to have happened. My heart goes out to your family and three kids knowing how hard it is for them to lose their father. I know you are looking down on us now and will guide us from now on with your helping hand. We will miss you brother. Much love.
