March 4, 2019 at 9:16 pmThis is a fragile time for the family, a time to be gentle with yourself and to give your heart permission to grieve, to feel, to remember. My Nephew Anthony was a good and loving person, someone who cares about his family, this is why this is hard. Strength and hope will come again, but for now, do what you need to honor this sorrow of his passing, letting your heart and spirit heal.
Uncle Anthony
