Farewell to the cheeky sweet lad, loved so much by his family. His likeness to his dad as he grew older is uncanny. So beautiful to see all the tribute photos of Tony with his family and friends. Much love from me to you all at this sad sad time.xxLisa
So sorry for your loss Karen. You will have many memories to treasure and Tony will always be with you. Kia Kaha
Tony's sense of humour was great. He was animated and eager to remind me that I came from and went to school at Mt. Piggs (Biggs).
So sad to read of Tony's passing. All my love and condolences to you Karen and your family.
