    My sincere condolences to Sis. Cassandra Anthony and family. Bro. Anthony was a very fun person to be around. I am truly blessed to have known Bro. Anthony. He always had that infectious smile and something funny to say. I will miss not having him around checking the church ground early in the mornings making sure it was safe before I show up for work. There will never be another Bro. Anton, A true man of Faith, Love, Compassion and Care. Blessings!
