CandleYour missed Tony

W WILLIAM CONN on Nov 7, 2015

I wish to take a moment to say something that i have seen on this page.
There are some very disgusting people in this world that would take a mans last funeral announcement and think its a good place to slander this man. I knew Tony for 31 years he was always a fine upstanding man who loved my mother, and did what he could to try and be some form of a father figure to 6 kids including myself who fought him at the beginning. To our amazement this man loved my mother enough to marry her and be there for all of her kids when we needed him. This man loved his grand kids and openly showed then he did each and every day of his life. I was sickened when i was informed that some low life pieces of garbage would use this page to cause harm and pain to the loving wife who he left behind, you people make me sick and do not think for a second i do not know exactly who each and every one of you are !!! Let me tell you this and its a promise that my children will keep for me, when you pass on your last page just like this is going to be used just as you did to this man, THATS A PROMISE !!! To Tony i miss you very much and it was a pleasure having you in our lives for as long as we did. You are missed and loved very much, rest in peace dad... You are in our hearts always...

I remember Uncle Anke from when I was a child. It has been many many years. All that was an offense to me, I forgave. I will only remember the smiles.

It is a shame that you let your only 2 bilogical son's who only lived a short distance from you never get to know you. May the good lord find it in his heart to forgive you as I know that the boys will not.

Find strength in God by turning to him in prayer. He can supply the curative comfort that is needed. Going to God, along with seeking to learn and to do his expressed will, will bring healing to the aching heart. Psalm 86:6,7 says: "Do give ear, O Jehovah, to my prayer; and do pay attention to the voice of my entreaties. In the day of my distress I will call upon you, for you will answer me."
My sincere sympathy.
