But you can have hope because God has said there is going to be a resurrection for all mankind . At John 5:28,29 it talkes about a resurrection hope . Again I am sorry for your loss.

You and your family are in my prayers, I am so sorry for your loss. Tony and I worked together in Peachtree Central Office back in the 70's and 80's. After that I moved to a different department but every once in a while, would cross paths on the phone working on problems. I remember Tony as a really nice guy, always willing to help and that he was really smart in the telephony field.

Dearest Anna and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Having lost two dads myself, I can so sympathize with where you are right now. I never had the pleasure of meeting Tony, but judging by the wonderful man his son is, I am sure he was a fantastic father and grandfather. Please know that you all have been in our prayers this week for comfort and peace. God be with you all...
