"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you." - Walt Whitman
This memorial website is in honor of a great man, Anthony Lavigne, 57, born on October 22, 1955 and passed away in the autumn of 2013. We will always remember his magical smile and calm energy. Though he had beat the odds on numerous health afflictions, he still left this world too soon. Countless family and friends will forever be touched by his angelic presence.
We would like to offer our deepest thanks to the Lavigne family, especially brother Phil, for the endless love and support given throughout every day of this journey. The family would like to thank St. John's Reverence Hospice, especially Cathleen the nurse, Debbie the social worker, and Paul the spiritual advisor.
