  1. I know Anthony’s family. I’ve known him since he was a little child. I hope the other boys recover soon. People please pray for these boys families. I will see Anthony’s mom when she gets home.

  2. Anthony no one could light up a room the way you did with your smile. I can’t believe you’re gone. There’s so much I want to say but I can’t find the words to do so. You will always be in our hearts and our prayers go out to your family as well as the families of your friends that were injured. I will never forget you. I love you. -Liz-
