It's the holidays and it seems so strange that your not here to celebrate physically to celebrate with us although we can sense your presence all around us.Things arent the same the jokes we tell are funny but not fall out your chair funny since of course your not adding your two cent.(lol) this is a time when you really appreciate the time you share with family.There was so much we didnt get to say or do.Someone ask me if I could bring anyone back for just an hour and lose 3 years of my life would i do it,who and why.....if i could it would definetly be you all so that you could say all that you could or just spend that hour with your famiy just having you back would be worth itbutI know that's impossible.Nick talks about u constantly :) he really misses you!So does everyone else there is no where I can go and not mention Tony Byrd.
Rest well Tony........until we meet again.

I would like to say Thank You to everyone for your expressions and reflections of sympathy. My family truly appreciated all the kind words, thoughts and prayers.

Love is to life ... What sunshine is to plants and flower.
Love was you ,me ,LT and Ki.
Love is now forever changed only God knows who's to blame.
Love was fun trip on cruise ships.
Love is everything wanted and needed for people who believe in it.
Love was true and no noun (person,place or thing) could break through.
We are all born to love, it is the principle of existence and its only end. With that being said ...Baby we will meet and Love again.

Missing the Essence of You!

I really miss you words cant really express the sadness i feel.When I go to your house it's feels like iam at the wrong place because iam use to you greeting me with a hug and saying what's up although I can feel your presence there it's still not the same.Sometimes me and Toya would see something or just be thinking of you and what you would have said if you were here.I think about you often and talk about youu even more and you know how that goes:) People are place in our lives for a reason, a season and a lifetime. Iam glad that you were a lifetime and as long as live Iam gonna keep your memory alive.I know that today is you and Shantell's anniversary so......Happy Anniversary.

LOVE YOU FOREVER

I am still at a lost for words however, My prayers are that you rest in perfect peace and that God will heal the hearts of all of your loved ones. I know that we did not work together very long but you definitely became a friend of mine and made an impact on my life. I thank God for the time that he did allow for us to be friends. As the taers fall right now I'm thinking of you, always having a warm smile and the gift of making even a sad heart happy

Rest in Peace until we meet again

HEY BYRD,

ITS BEEN SO HARD TO MAKE IT THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.I STILL THINK THAT IT IS ALL A DREAM. THE DAY THAT GOD TOOK YOU AWAY FROM US I QUESTIONED HIM... WHY? I KNOW THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON, BUT TRUTHFULLY I DIDNT WANT TO HEAR IT. I WAS MAD AND ANGRY AND CONFUSED.AND IN SOME WAYS STILL VERY CONFUSED.
I CAN REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WE MET..DO YOU REMEMBER? WE BOTH WERE SITTING IN THE MAJORS OFFICE AND WE HAD BOTH JUST GOT TRANSFERED DOWN TO CENTRAL RECORDS..AND THEN WE MET "DEE" (WELL U KNEW HER, I JUST MET HER) IT WAS FRIENDS TO THE END. WE HAD PLENTY OF GOOD TIMES SITTING IN THAT HOLE THAT THEY CALLED "OUR" OFFICE,TRYING TO GET OUR "ME ME ME" ON, AND TRYING TO FINISH OUR WORK FOR THE DAY. THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD TIMES AND THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY WEDDING AND STEPPING TO THAT NEXT PHASE IN MY LIFE WITH ME.(NOW WE HAVE TO GET "DEE" THERE). YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART FROM NOW UNTIL FOREVER...
SHANTELL.....WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS THE LOVE AND RESPECT THAT I HAVE FOR YOU AND THE GIRLS.TONY WAS ONE OF THE "BEST MEN" THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN IN MY LIFE TIME WHO STOOD UP TO THE ROLE AS FATHER,HUSBAND,AND FRIEND. ONLY TIME WILL HEAL OUR BROKEN HEARTS,BUT JUST KNOWING THAT HE HAS EVERY BIT OF HIM IN THE GIRLS AND IN YOUR HEART WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO BARE THE LOST. LOVE YOU AND STAY STRONG

When I received that phone call early Friday morning I could not believe it. Everyday since seems like a bad dream. I really miss our talks and the good advice you always gave. I want you to know that I will never forget you and your family I think of shantell all the time. Shantell sent me pictures recently of you girls they are getting so big, you were a wonderful father and husband. I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that you were still alive it felt so real all I could do was cry. You surely have a place in my heart.. Look after all of us Tony I expect nothing less.
