Amp, I LOVE you and I always will. Amp you have inspired me to keep a stronger faith in JESUS CHRIST/GOD, because he's always there for me. Amp there was not a day you gave up, and you know GOD was with you too. But you continue to fight a hard battle and kept the FAITH in GOD, no matter what came your way and I thank GOD, that you triumph over this battle and "YOU" WON.

P.S. Family and Friends I pray that you give your life to JESUS CHRIST and you will see Amp again.

Anthony was a good natured,happy person. My wife and I will miss him. We enjoyed his conversation and companionship and his barbecues. He welcomed us into his home. He was very proud of his family and his new daughter. He was a good father,a friend,and relative. He will be sorely missed. Our hearts go out to my niece Sonya,and her beautiful daughters. May God Bless you all.

Tony will be missed; I am Keionna´s (Keke) aunt (his oldest daughter). I can truly say that Tony was an excellent father. Even though Keke and him didn´t live in the same state there was no Christmas, Valentine´s Day, Easter, etc. that went by without him sending her something or calling to say that he loved her. My love and prayers goes out to his family during this time.

We will always remember Tony as a very respectful person. Just this summer he came and stayed with us so that he could visit with his oldest daughter Keionna (KeKe). God is so good because KeKe didn't get a chance to see her daddy that much because of the distance, but she will never forget the memories that she spend with her dad, stepmom and sisters in the summer of 2007.

We will miss you, but praise God we will see you again!!!

Our prayers goes out to the family that God will send blessings of comfort and prayers of hope to you during this time.


George,Vera & Jay (Keke grandpa, grandma and uncle)

Anthony, Amp, Dirty Red...It seems like not that long ago we were kids scrapping like cats and dogs one moment and couldn't get enough of being with eachother the next! Boy I was always having to remind you that I'm the oldest grandchild of the family you're the second oldest...simmer down...LOL I cannot put into words the feeling of knowing you are no longer with us, but I can put into words the joy of knowing that you are in a much better place of everlasting PEACE. I can see you now trying to assist God in managing heaven...for the last time, simmer down! I miss you already Red. Your cousin Tira
