I'm so sorry you are gone. We shared so much during our formative years. You have always meant a great deal to me. You will be missed.

I've known Tony's family for over 30 years now. I hadn't seen Tony in awhile but remember him well when he was younger. Hopes and prayers for healing and peace to the Hairston family and so sorry that you lost Tony so young, especially since he was the "baby" of the five children. God Bless Grace Hairston and my love to you all. Marianne McBride
