Tony did his treatments and was doing good. We did them he went into remission and all was good.. We went in for our 3 month check up i think it was when we were all done with all the chemo almost 2 yrs later.. Well another hard hit we got.. Tony had relapsed this time it was in his spinal fluid and bone marrow.. So it came back worse this time..

So we had to go through radiation and chemo this time.. More hospital stays nothing new..at this time i think he was 5 yrs old..Tony told me that he would beat it again just like the last time. And he did.. We made it through all that and all was going good..

We went in for our 6 month check up after all was done and things were going good.. Tony was in remission again and we were talking about getting his mediport out and hoping to live a normal life..

We were on our way home and i got a phone call i had to take Tony back to the hospital again that night.. found out that he had relapsed again... I cryed so hard i asked why us?? This is 3 times now he had to go through chemo and all then radiation again..

He looked at me at 7 almost 8 yrs old and tells me mommy i will beat this again i have the other 2 times so i can do it again..

He was sooooo strong.... Tony truely is my hero and inspiration on all that he had to go through..

Tony just turned 3 in may and we found out in June of 2001 that he had leukemia.. That was one of the worst days of our lives.. I had to take him to the hospital and get a few tests done and he kept telling me that he would be a good boy if i would just tell them to stop and take him home.. I cryed when he said that bc he was not being punished that way.. He even had the nurses in tears too..

I had to go home and tell my husband why i didnt come home with our son and tell his brother and sister what was going on.. They were still young so they didnt understand what was going on especially Brianna she was only going on 2 that year..

Little did we know that that day in June 2001 would change our lives forever!!

The treatments made Tony sick and he was in the hospital off and on for treatments but through it all he was still my strong little boy..

When Tony was born it was one of the happiest days of our lives.. He was perfect and also was a good baby..

As Tony got older he turned out to be a good protecter of his little sister Brianna and a good lilttle brother to Aaron.. Tony turned out to be their boss at times and they would listen to him too.. That was the funny thing..

Even though Tony went through so much in his young life he was always so strong and could make you laugh even if you were mad at him.. So needless to say he made sure that you were not mad long..

Tony was such a jokester too.. He played so many jokes on some people especially at the hospital.. They can tell ya some stories there...

Tony  the one thing i can say about him is to know him was to love him..

Tony is missed by all that knew him and loved by so many people.
