Tony, I remember the times I use to babysit you as a child. You were always  happy & giggling with your brother while jumping on your bed. 
Thru out the years we lost touch, but Some how we managed to find one another. I was happy to see you again all grown up and handsome like your momma. 
Today I’m sad because your gone, but I know god needed you more.  Now your in heaven so shine your  beautiful
Smile down on us primo!! I’ll miss you and I too love you back always.

To my beloved cousin, You will always remain in our hearts and memories  that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We will always remember you full of joy and happiness. Love  you always your cousin and family. 

Maria Reynoso and family.

My Nephew,                                                         I’m Greatful for all the moments we shared.  Thank you for always making me smile.  I will cherish all the beautiful memories. Love you Tony!

My child, my baby. Since day one you were smiling always a happy child. Ran to me to givee a hug.
 Called me to tell me you love me.
 It's very hard to cope with this pain in my heart. I know you don't want me to cry. But I can't help it. I know you're with God now. In a peaceful place.   Please be in my dreams please let me hold you in my dreams. I love you very much and miss you so much!

Tony is the love of my life. Through thick and thin, we remained at each other's side. I will never stop loving him. I thank God for sending Tony, a man full of life, into my own. We created our beautiful daughter, Reyna, who has the strongest bond with her dad, that will never change. When I look at Reyna, I see Tony, that person that is full of life. Through her, his spirit and energy lives. Tony you are our world, We love you so much. I don't know what our life will be like from here on out. The thought of it leaves me feeling scared and lost. So I need you to always look down on us, help guide us through what's to come. We love you, always & forever. 

 On behalf of my family we want to give our condolences and sympathy to Tony and his family.  It seems just like yesterday we were having a conversation on how life was treating us.  You stood there with your support to our family in the time of need. I will cherish our moments as children. May God be with you and may your soul Rest In Peace. Love you. 

P.S. l know Alex and Edward was there to  receive you. 

You will be missed my dear, your beautiful words of encouragement and your big smile! <3

RIP my good friend! We had so many great memories! You will truly be missed! Hands down you were one great person inside and out! Till we meet again my friend!

Truly gonna miss you Homie
