Dear Family of my cousin Tony,
My heart is broken. I am going to miss my loving cousin. Tony was a very happy man. I think he was born with a giant smile on his face. It didn’t matter where we met, Tony would greet me first with that smile. He always called me Little Miss Sunshine. That was a special name he gave me. He always made me feel so happy. That was Tony.
He always had something nice to say to you. I’ll never forget youTony and how special a cousin you were.
There is a deep loss in our family already. It will be felt for a long time. My sincere prayers for his wife, his 2 daughters, their husbands and his grandson. He loved all of you so deeply.
May God comfort you in your time of sadness. It isn’t going to be easy continuing to live without Tony.
When we feel tears coming on , smile and think how wonderful he made us feel. He was a very happy man because he knew how much we loved him.
I love all of you very much,
Linda Horton Coyle
