To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I only worked with Tony @Vought Aircraft a few months befor they moved me to another program. He was a very warm hearted friendly guy. Lived his children talked about them all the time. Keep your heads to the sky that is where yoyr strength comes from. Our lord and savior makes no mistakes.

My heart is broken on the loss of Vivian and Andrew's father!
Losing someone we love is nothing easy, but knowing that we have been able to be a part of the life of that person, we can realize that we are blessed to have been able to share in his life before he went to rest in eternal salvation.
R.I.P Brother, you're always in my heart!

We shared lots of laughter, you will be missed my friend, RIP

My Sympathy To Tran Family. My Wife Marian and I Send your Family our Prayers. Tony Was a true Friend, and a great co-worker. He came to work back on the B-1 he could barely talk English, we worked side-by-side for many years. I started calling him Tony because it went with Tran, so when the day he went to get his citizenship he liked Tony and that was his American name. We always stayed close. I talked to him just 2 weeks ago. I will miss you My Brother TONY!! I will see you again. We LOVE YOU111

I have worked with Tony longer than I have anybody else at vought. I will miss him greatly My prayers go out to his family.

Tony was a great friend and co-worker, we had many fun times, I love u and miss you my friend... My thoughts and prayers to Tony's family......

Our hearts and deepest sympathy go out to the Tran Family. I Talked to Tony Just last week. Tony and I Have always stayed in touch over all these yrs. When he first come to work HE barely could talk English plus his name wasn't Tony, he took that name because I kinda called him that because it went with Tran over several years, Years later, on the c-17 he went to Dallas for his citizenship and he took it on. Made it is American name. Tony is my Dear and Always been a True and Loyal Friend though all of these years. I will miss your Phone Calls

My heart goes out to the Tran family. I worked with Tony for many years. He was a good man and he will be missed. My prayers are with the family.
