Michael was one of a kind.
Thinking back to when we met and the many times that we spent together and whenever we were out together and there would be a picture taken, there would be a caption of some kind.
And the caption usually said something like, "an odd couple" or "an unlikely pair." But, to us, it was the most natural and easiest of friendships.
I was 13 when we met. And from that day on, our friendship grew. Michael always knew that he could count on me to support him or be his date, and that we would have fun no matter where we were.

I’m a strong believer that there are no accidents or coincidences in this life.
I am confident in the notion that everything happens for a reason and that the people we meet come into our lives for a reason,to touch us in some way or perhaps even change our lives,although the reason may not be clear at first.

For those who didn’t,I’d like to share a little of what I know,in the hope that even though Tony is unable to physically be here with us today,a part of him may live on in each of us and in turn,we can keep his spirit alive.
The Funeral Prayer:Priest: "Let us pray."
The priest says one of the following prayers or leads an informal prayer. "
Our Father in heaven, we thank you that, through Jesus Christ, you have given us the gift of eternal life.

We now entrust ourselves to you, just as we are, with our sense of loss and of guilt, When the time has come, let us depart in peace, and see you face to face, for you are the God of our salvation."
Congregation:" Amen."
