You Anthony. So so much. My only. Comfort. Is knowing. You are. Finally. At peace. In your. Heart. Don't. Forget "I'll. Be there" Always "

"Mom: Today you spent your first Christmas Eve and tomorrow Christmas Day, in heaven. We here mourn your loss so much my son. You are getting so many cards, comments, etc. Even your old friend Jay Scott has sent you wonderful memories of you and he back in the day when you both were young and full spirited. It makes me feel so good to read them. Gary and the boys spent the eve with us......we cried, laughed and thought good things about you....it was so touching. Lucy sits by the memorial in the front and just lays there feeling so lonely. She misses you. We are taking good care of her but we think sometime in the near future she will be making her way into your arms again for eternity. She wants to be with her daddy. I got some gifts under the tree for Jez and Michael from you......they will be touched. They both miss you terribly. Even half pint misses you. There is no way I can tell you how much you are missed, loved and how much you inspired all those you knew. Everyone has only great things to say about you - you make me so proud my son. You struggled all through your life, finally achieved all your goals and felt proud of yourself.......The Lord took you from us so suddenly, but had a his reasons and we can't know or never will know what those were. Life on earth is so temporary, we take things for granted and when someone leaves us whom we love so much, the pain is so unbearable. I miss you my son, your sister is lost without you and Michael has lost his only relative/uncle/godfather. It will be difficult going on but as long as we know you are happy, safe, out of pain, we know one day we will all be together. In the meantime, please watch over all of us......I went to a service at Fred Hunter last week, put an angel on the lighted tree for you, announced your name and it was a beautiful service. So many other people mourning their loved ones - we are not alone. We miss you, love you, proud of you and know you are happy, well, safe, free and with all those who have gone before you to comfort you. You are not alone. Remember "just call my name and I'll be there".....we all call you name and we do know that you are there for us. Rest in peace...bless you forever. Lovingly, Mom, Jez (Kim), Michael, Lucy (Stinky Princess) Bella (Half-pint)....."

"I remember Anthony was probably 16 or 17 he just got a blue Mg car, little sports car I was still in school we did not hang out as much anymore but he saw me walking to school right off 12th. by the canal he said want a ride! I said yes & we talked the whole way & talked about all the things we did together, going to Lauderhill mall, duck pond, going to the movies, hanging out his house eating pringles chips with mustard on them. I miss you my friend! so many Good memories. Jay Scott "

"Anthony: The pain and grief we have for you is unbearable. Our faith is what keeps us going knowing you are at peace, free and happy with our Lord for all eternity helps us live with the loss of you. I still hear you shouting to me at night 'mom, we are all locked up'.....to let me know all is safe in the house and I can go to sleep. Everywhere we look, we see you, the things you did for our family/house, and the entire community. Your skills and imagination to conquer all obstacles in construction projects surpassed anyone with a college degree in construction. You were a self learned, skillful and very special person to us and all those who knew you or knew of you. Don't ever think you did not achieve wonderful accomplishments and goals here.....you most certainly did my son. Your memory will live on in our hearts and minds forever. One day we will be with you again for eternity, but for now, be happy, peaceful, and free. Look after your sister Kim (Jez as you called her) and your only nephew.Godson Michael - watch over them, protect them, be their guardian angel. They love and miss you terribly as do I. A mother should never have to put their child to rest...it is a parents nightmare. Please know how much I loved you and will love you forever. I hope you knew I was there with you when you departed and went to paradise.....I spoke to you....you shed one tear from your left eye - which I kissed - I felt as though you sent that tear for me to let me know you are okay and for us to move forward as you would want us to do. We will try, but without you, it won't be easy.....We still grieve painfully. We made a memorial outside for you and all those who drive/walk by, stop to see it and remember you as a good person, a loving daddy to Lucy, and a cherished son/brother/uncle to us. Rest peacefully - no more worries about getting jobs, no more suffering with your back,foot, stomach pains. You are free from all that now and can enjoy the rewards of heaven of which our God has promised all of us. Life on earth is temporary, life renews itself in heaven forever and ever. We will be with you one day.....keep watch over us my son......Forever in our hearts.....our love......Mom, Kim, Michael, Lucy (your stinky princess) and Bella (Half Pint) too!"

"Jennie, Kim and Michael, Our hearts break for you. There are no words to take away your pain.......only time will make it bearable and believable. This is all so, so very sad. I will always remember your son on Thanksgiving day when you, Jennie, so lovingly invited me and my family. Anthony was so quiet and always smiling that day............such a sweet soul. We don't have answers for why terrible things like this happen. We can only be consoled by knowing that Anthony knew he was loved unconditionaly. Such a wonderful day that was that now becomes that much more important in our lives. Jennie, I am praying so hard for you and yours to find acceptance and joy in Anthony's memories. I love all of you dearly."

"I'm deeply sadden by the news of my Best childhood friend, Anthony was my best friend growing up in Lauderhill in the 70's. He was a couple years older than me & we got in so much trouble together it isn't funny! We would through oranges at cars & run, strip our bikes don't to the bone & paint the whole bike gloss black to be cool. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how Anthony was such a free spirit & would always & I mean always protect me, He got in numerous fights just to protect me. We hung out everyday from about 10 years old until high school. To the Tartaglia family I'm deeply sorry for your loss, He will not be forgotten. Jay Scott & family. "

"Jen, I'm so very sorry for your sudden loss. My father's cousin passed the same way- the same unfortunate and freak accident. Please stay strong for Michael. He needs you the most. Love, Debbie"

"We would like to express our sincere condolences to the Tartaglia family. May you be comforted by loving memories of Anthony. We know that the loss of a love one brings much grief and agony. However, our Loving Heavenly Father is near to us when we are broken hearted. Psalms 34:18. For comfort on the death of a loved one, follow the link: http://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&docid=1102013500&prefer=lang"

"Jenny, Kim and Michael, So sorry for your great loss, Anthony is in heaven with Aunt Mary as she loved him so much. May you find comfort in God in this time. Many thoughts and prayers are with all of you."

"Dear Tartaglia Family, I'm sending my sincere condolence to your family for your loss. May God's promise of a resurrection hope bring you comfort."

"We are so sorry for the loss of your dear one and our heartfelt sympathy to the family. May you always remember the beautiful memories shared and keep the hope of seeing your beloved one again in the near future. God promises that "those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus' voice and come out" John 5:28. May you find peace and comfort in God's loving words to us."

"When the enemy death strikes your grief can be great. It's never the right time to say goodbye to a loved one. Death too to many seems to be a part of life. It's during times such as these that we can find comfort in the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9, 10 ~ "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth". Only God's (Psalms 83:18) Kingdom can bring peace, happiness, perfect health, and everlasting life. "

"Jennie, Kim and Michael........We never got to know Anthony as a grown man, but knew him as a young boy and teenager growing up with his sister Kim in Lauderhill...We all had fun at each others homes and great holiday gatherings...Our hearts are broken and deeply saddened for the family. We cry along with you when we speak of Anthony....He is in heaven now, Rest in peace Anthony .....Our Love to all... "

"Our families and all us children all grew up together in the same area of Lauderhill, Fla. We lived just streets with walking distance. I remember Anthony always as a quite shy young boy and teenager, very much to himself and very sweet...We were always invited to their wonderful Christmas eve or new years eve gatherings and had fun...He is just so much a clone of Tony-amazing!!!!... Anthony will be so very missed by friends of his and friends of the family as well.... Our thought will always be with you Anthony !!!! Happy Birthday Anthony !!! I know that your mom felt your presence as I felt my dads a few times.."

"Anthony, today you spent your first Thanksgiving Day and your 52nd birthday in heaven. You were born 11/27/62 at 3:15 a.m. and this a.m. at that exact time I was suddenly awakened by your presence. I could feel you near me reassuring me that you were in heaven, safe,happy, well and free. Although it was a comfort to me you will always be missed. It is we here on earth who grieve and feel lonely for you but we know you are okay and one day, we will join you. Please keep watch over your loving sister and only nephew - keep them safe. You are in our hearts forever. We set the table for you at dinner, lit a candle and spoke to you. Many friends and family did the same today sending love and prayers. I know you got them and realize now how much you are missed and loved and will be remembered always. We love you dear son thank you for being a part of our lives for but a short 'almost' 52 years. Your mother, sister, nephew, Lucy and Half Pint. . "

"Happy. Birthday. Anthony. I miss. You"

"Happy. Birthday. Anthony. I miss. You"

"I am deeply saddened by Anthony's untimely passing. I share many fond memories with you and your family from years past in Lauderhill, not least of which is my failed attempt to help with Anthony's tadpole science project for school. You and your family are in my thoughts. "

"Words cannot communicate the sadness I feel for you and your family's tragic loss of your son/brother/uncle. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please feel free to call me at ANY time if you need to talk. I will never forget our foreboding lunch conversation that day. "

"I didn't know Anthony as a grown man but I sure do remember him as a little boy growing up with him & his sister kim in lauderhill. We all moved into the neighborhood's brand new houses and our families became very close & shared many holidays and fun times together â?¥ wonderful memories â?¥"

"Jenny and Kim..our hearts are broken for you & your family. May Anthony rest in peace now. Much love. "

"I am so sorry for your loss. The Bible provides much comfort during difficult times. We are promised in the Bible book of 1 Corinthians 15:26 that, very soon now, "death will be brought to nothing". Then we have the prospect of being reunited with our loved right here on Earth (book of John 5:28,29) without any wickedness (book of Psalms 37:10,11). I hope this gives you comfort and hope. Sincerely, Jan"

"My Uncle Tony (and Godfather) I am going to miss you so much Uncle Tony: Love, your nephew Michael"

"Anthony-aside from Michael I loved you more than anyone. What do I do now without you? We were supposed to grow old together, take care of each other. I am lost. My big brother although we fought you were always there for me. Thank God for the time we had and our last moments together that day were such happy ones laughing. I promise you Lucy will be taken care of, I won't let you down. I miss you so much Anthony, it's okay now, you don't have to fight those demons anymore, you have peace and no more pain. Your heart is free. You were wrong about not having friends. I wish you could see how many friends you have, and how many people love you, it's overwhelming. You will be missed but nobody will miss you more than me. You were truly my best friend and I love you. You are my hero. Your loving sister - Jez. "

"Jenny I am so sorry for your loss. We didn't get to know your family but we will keep you all in our prayers."

"Anthony , I am going to miss calling you to fix stuff around my house. You were my number one fan, always complimenting me and my kids. May you rest in peace and know that we will always keep you in our thoughts and prayers."

"Our Anthony: No one knows the sorrow we feel losing you. Your sister Kim, your nephew Michael, your beloved Lucy and I are devastated. If you only knew how much you were loved here on earth you will be loved even more now with the Lord. You are with all those loved ones who went before you and we all will be together soon someday for eternity. You were my first born and I was with you then and with you when you departed into the arms of the Lord. Rest now my son, no more pain, no more worries. We will hold you dear to our hearts forever and never forget you. Lucy will be taken care of and when she is called, she will join you as you always wished. Although our pain is unbearable, we know you are free......happy, safe and in good hands. Lovingly - Mom, Kim, Michael Lucy and Bella, "

"My sincere condolences to the Tartaglia family "
