Dearest Rosemary, Jessica and family~ the service was wonderful and I'm sure Tony was smiling on you all at what a touching dedication that was to him. He knows the ultimate love of our Lord now. We rejoice for him and remind ourselves that this life is fleeting and our ultimate reward is to be present with the Lord in glory!!

I know that I wasn't able to spend much time with you Cousin, but I will never forget the fun weekend and your generous hospitality that You and Cousin Rosemary offered to myself and my Father (Duane Edmond) on our cross country trip. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to meet you. I will remember your smile always.

Italy was a great three years of wonderful experiences, like burning the biscuits because our neighbors horses got loose and we helped round them up and I, Doe, rode one back as Tony diligently drove several yards behind.

We are so very sorry by the loss of our dear friend, Tony. We have such fond memories of our time together when we were all stationed in the Air Force in Germany. We used to get together to have "McDonalds" as he would call it meaning that we would have hamburgers and fries for supper. Tony you will be missed by so many people.Rosemary and Jessica, if you need anything,or if you need to talk, please give us a call.
