I remember meeting Ant for the first time when I was a freshman and his dad and brother came over so I could braid his brother's hair.  We used to go to the skating rink every weekend.  I miss those days.  Then I got an apartment and everybody used to come over.  We all used to have so much fun.  When he went through some things and ended up locked up I visited him every week and wrote him.  We lost touch recently since I joined the military...and I really regret not keeping in touch with him.  All my friends...the whole crew we had...I will never forget the times we used to have together.  Anthony was a great person and truly someone that anyone would be blessed to know.  It's still hard accepting the fact that he's really not here anymore.  I wish I could see him one last time.  The last time I saw him was completely on accident and such a coincidence that we were in the same place at the same time, but I'm so glad it happened now knowing that I won't have that option again.  I'll always remember everything.  Miss and love you Anthony.  I know you're looking down and are happy at all the people who want to follow your positive motion.  You have really made a difference in all of our lives.  Rest in paradise....I know God is glad to have you back by his side.  I'll see you again one day. 

I remember when i first met anthony, we were taking some classes together to get our asbestos license. after acouple of days of this long and very boring class we were both ready to just leave and not come back! but with each others positive words we stuck it out for a month and a half. the days i would be like " bra im cool on this class ' he would somehow talk me into staying and coming back the next day and i did the same when he wasnt feeling it! in other words we shared positivity with each other to better our selfs ! throughout the year me and ace got real tight and kept eachothers spirts when one of us was down! i miss anthony more than words can explain! i wanted him to meet my daughter and our baby girls build a relationship! she came 14 days after he passed! she will know him even if she never met him! always as uncle ace! anthony and i used to get up with each other and go looking for jobs! even though we were both out of work and down in our hopes we would keep the faith alive with the positivity! so ill end this on a positive note; ( if your head is down you cant see where the door is or where your going, if you keep your head up you can always see the oppertunity no matter where you look) chin up stay foccused! stay stron never fold! i love you ace! look over us down here!
