So sorry to hear about Tony. You and the kids are in our hearts and prayers.
Tony will be missed, he has gone to a better place to be with our Jesus.
That is a really nice picture of Tony!
Hope you and the kids are doing well.
Love you!!!!
That is a good picture of Tony. I think I will remember him best for his creative photography. I still have pictures he took of Bubba John at about age 3 when he was wearing a Micky Mouse hat. The photo came out with 6 of the same images in a circle.
Tony was always a part of my life growing up as an older cousin. It’s been many years since I’ve seen him and I have to admit that picture is great! I know he had his struggles over the years and know that he is now at peace and with his mother. We will all remember him fondly and he will stay in our memories.
Love to Bonnie, Shawnda and Shawn from their cousin Robin Hergot Potharst now living in Virginia.
