Words from mom, Sheila

I fell in love with Anthony from day one, he was tiny, yet his personality blossomed immediately. He was junior named after his father and his nickname became “ANT”.

Early on he grew into a great athlete known for his speed and agility. He played football and ran track from the early age of five years old until he was a senior in high school. It was no wonder his love for football became his oxygen.

My Anthony brings me so much LOVE, LAUGHTER, HAPPINESS, and JOY. He always makes me laugh; he consistently tells me he loves me. He loves his dad and will forever be bonded with his dad for their mutual love of football. He admires and loves his big brother Ashton and adores his sister Lexie.

My Anthony also brings me TEARS……A mother should never lose her son; I do not know if I will ever recover from the loss of my Anthony. In his final days, he continues to make me PROUD, I am so lucky to have had my son for twenty-three years.

Please God protect my Baby Boy, my Son, my LOVE, may you rest forever in your Nana’s eternal arms ANTHONY until we meet again. You will never be forgotten, and I love you forever, your mom Sheila.
