Antonia was so kind to me when I was a nervous stranger visiting in Washington D.C. She took my photo in front of the White House and taught me how to navigate the Metro and even delivered our luggage to the airport. She was a wonderful person who I will be glad to see in heaven some day. Good bye for now. Pam

Ralph, Anthony and Jeff. Although I didn’t know Cato, I do know each of you, and of course, she had an influence on your character. From what I know she did a great job with each of you. May God bless you in this time of grief. Tony
Antonia’s love will remain in your hearts forever. We are praying God’s peace and comfort for your family as you grieve. In sympathy,
This is a little belated, but I hope you guys will forgive me. Tony, I met your mom only a handful of times, but she was always cheerful and funny. I still remember having Thanksgiving at your house a few years back and how fun it was just relaxing, hearing old stories and cracking jokes with your family. Your mom was great and she will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your brother and your dad at this unfortunate time.
