Michelle...Tony's only wife while he was clean and sober
I find it hilarious those saying the Tavares family was there at the end. Yes they were, but besides from his mother were no part of his life for 9 years except for 2 short visits from his daughters. I was told by one of them not to attend his funeral so I did not out of respect for how much he loved his children so save the dramatic veiled comments about that.

Michelle, its taken me a while to think of something to write here. No words will ease your pain, but your memories will keep you going. You and Tony had a great thing going, you loved one another with such ease. I could see it in your eyes as well as Tony's when you were together. You know he will always love you as you will love him. Tony will always be with you in spirit and I know he will visit you often, you will feel his presence no matter where you are and what you are doing. You will feel his warmth and see his smile. My thoughts are with you at this very trying time. Im glad the two of you found one another and found true love.

My condolence was somehow a little mixed up somehow. Pardon the last one, somehow it autocorrected! Tony may you be at peace and know that Michelle will love you forever! I hope you visit her often in spirit. You were the one and only man I approved of for my dear friend! You were her love for the last 9 years and you will always be! Rest in peace Tony! Sadly, I won't call and here you call me Mackin when you always told Michelle I was on the phone. I know you are proud of Michelle at this time. She is handling this with grace and dignity, this is the most painful thing she's ever faced! I along with some other friends she has will always remind her of your love for her. You just remind her too ok. You're an angel in heaven now. I totally believe in a spiritual world! As you would say to me often...' God bless you' Tony! It was a pleasure knowing you this last 9 years!

Dear Tony. It is so sad you had to leave. I don't know you, but I know you made my friend Michelle so happy and that you were a very good dog daddy. This world has lost again an angel. I know you will stay on Michelle's side and watching on her. You will be missed. I am very sad I couldn't meet you both together. I wish you peace where you are staying now.

To a man I never met ... In a way, Tony, I feel I know a part of you through your beautiful Michelle. You were so much 'into each other', which many relationships just don't have or never will. Look after your lady, Tony. She loves you more than life itself. And one day ... another time ... another place ... you will meet again. Peace on the other side.
