I just found out that my dear friend Anthony passed away. It's March 2024 and had I known, I would have gladly traveled to Jackson from Atlanta, Georgia to say good bye to this very special man. Anthony served our family with such pride and love. Assisting me in my dad and mother's funeral and giving me everything I needed to make their final moments special. He played for me for my aunt's funeral many years ago on an impromtu notice, and when my mom asked, how much for accompanying my daughter, his answer was...no charge. This was a special man of whom was the epitome of amazing. Rest in peach and enjoy the angels my friend. Until we meet again. Thanks so much King. ~Ada

Anthony I remember you growing up as being the "informer" to your mom about the whereabouts of your sister Kat & me. You would tail us in the shadow of the bushes to see where we were going in order to inform Ms. Mary. We would throw things @ you to make you go home. When I told you about this a few years ago you were awed by it with delight, to know you gave Kat & me a hard time being teenage girls. Anthony, "inform" GOD of two GOOD ladies, your sister Kat & me, & save us a spot.🙏🏿44DC
