I will never forget Anthony's kind words, infectious smile and gratitude towards others. I enjoyed working with him and I am still in a state of shock that he is gone. He is the type of person that when you meet him, he will always be with you! My condolences to Dawn and the rest of the family. Looking in from the outside and seeing you two work side by side, minister side by side, was a beautiful union. God bless you!
