Dear Shirley and family,
I was very sorry to hear about Anthony and sorry that I couldn’t come for the funeral and to be there for you but sometimes life just doesn’t go the way you wish it would and many things are beyond our control. Just know that you and yours are in my thoughts and I will be thinking about you and share your sorrow. I will always remember Anthony and how outspoken he was and how silly he could be at times.
