Dear Anthony and Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you both in this trying time. God Bless you both. John Piteo
Laura..ive only met you a few times a few years back. I was at the viewing today and am sincerley sorry i didnt speak to you. i was nervous. However ive known Anthony since highschool and was very good friends with him for a very long time. I will never forget that contagious smile of his, and the smiles he brought to my face. He was one of the funniest kids i knew and will forever be remembered because of that. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you always. Sincerely, Sheira ( Shawns Girlfriend)
I would like to start my condolences to Anthony's family and his close friends. This is a difficult time for us all. Especially for all of us who knew Anthony so well. Speaking of as someone who had the privilege of knowing Anthony for such a long time, I have to say that he was an all around great person. He was the type of person who could change the mood of a room with a smile or corny joke. He really knew how to make people laugh. Through my life we always remained best friends. I still remember the first time I met him. I came home from school when I was seven years old and when I walked in the front door of my house, this kid jumped on my back. I didn't know what to think so I pushed him off and ran down the hallway calling for my mom. She told me that he was Laura's son, Anthony, and she was looking after him while Laura was at work. From that time on we became very close friends. He became someone I considered family, something like a brother. We had a lot of good times over the years. Times that I will always remember, it's going to be hard to say goodbye to my friend. He left us too soon. I miss you bro, you will always be my fam. Love you man. Sincerely, Your boy Shawn Cullen

To Kristen and Anthony's entire family: I never had the pleasure of actually meeting Anthony, although I heard so many wonderful things about him. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy's to everyone he knew. This is an unimaginable loss and I can't begin to imagine the pain you all must feel inside. May God give strength and love to pull through this tragedy. At least he is no longer in pain and I'm sure he will continue to look down on you all. Kristen, I love u and will always be here for u! Warmest thoughts, Nicole Nunes
Dearest Loraine and family, My heart aches for you during this most difficult and trying time in your lives. My deepest sympathy to all of you. I will keep you in my thought and prayers always. Sincerely, Linda Young (TCNJ)
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. Anthony was one of those people, with a heart almost too big... he would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it. My heart is heavy with grief. My thoughts and prayers are with Anthony's Mother, Family, & Friends. I have Faith that one day, we shall meet again Buddy... </3
Laura, I was very saddened to hear about Anthony's passing. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family and Anthony is in my thoughts and prayers. He will be missed, but not forgotten. I am sorry for your loss and want to offer my sincere and heartfelt condolences. With deepest sympathies, Randy Triolo.
I don't think words could possibly express how truly sorry I am for your loss...Anthony was an amazing person..Though I have not seen him in quite sometime I have thought about him often and remember his beautiful smile that could light up a room just like his Uncle Chris...My prayers and thoughts go out to you all...Again, I truly am sorry for your loss and hope that God can somehow guide you through this most difficult time. All of my love always, Brandi
Laura, Tim, Bonnie & Dominick, We are deeply sorry for your loss. It is so hard to understand why someone so young is taken so suddenly. Anthony was a great kid and we can still see his wonderful smile. You and your entire family are in our prayers during this difficult time. The memories and stories as only Dominick can tell will keep him alive in our hearts. Love you.... Joe, Alice & Family
I can not express how i felt when i found out. I remeber the day i met Anthony, all the memories, and the last time i saw him. Little did i know i would never see him again.I just had my son a month ago and i could never imagine the pain.I am so sorry Laura, just know the he was loved and always will be. I love you Anthony and will always miss you.I will never forget him.
Dear Laura, It seems like a lifetime ago and I'm not sure if you remember me but we went to high school together. There is nothing that compares to a mother's love for her child...and I cannot even begin to express my utmost and deepest sympathy. Recently, I was blessed to have your brother come into my life. I have been by his side during this extremely emotional and painful time. Your brother loved Anthony like a son. He has caring, wonderful and loving memories of their time together. Anthony, truly, made him happy; he loved having him in his life. I know he will miss Anthony dearly and he will remain forever in his heart. For those left behind, the loss of Chris, and now Anthony, is an unbearable, heartfelt tragedy. Laura, there are no words that can ever take away your pain. I am so truly sorry for your loss. But I hope you can find comfort in the knowledge that Anthony was loved completely and unconditionally. May God bless you and your family during this most difficult time. Denise McKeeff

Good morning, I hope you were able to get some rest. I was thinking about him and about what I loved so much about him and would look forward to when I knew I would be seeing him. It was his hugs. They were the best and made me feel so loved by him. He would just hug and squeeze me like nobody else. I will miss that so much. He had a kind and gentle way about him that I admired when I would listen to him as he spoke to me. He was compassionate. He also had a very contagious laugh and he gave a great back rub. He was always very caring and generous too. He was a wonderful grandson to me. I will cherish my memory of him with his red Yankee hat on backwards as he walked towards me and says “hey grandma” and then he would deliver that hug that I so desperately loved. Love Mom
Please know how sorry I am. I had to stop crying before I could answer your mother's email yesterday. As I was trying to compose myself to answer her, Garrett walked in. I couldn't answer him when he asked me what was wrong. I just pointed to the computer screen so he could read your mother's message to me. When I composed myself I wrote your mom this message. I want you know what I told her: "How terribly sad when healthy young people chose to end their lives because experiences with events and circumstances are too painful to endure. What is so much worse is that all the people who love them are left behind to suffer their loss and the overwhelming pain of grief. ... I pray that God is holding Chris and Anthony. I know they were close in life. They shared a bond of family love." Their pain has ended, but not ours. God Bless you and give you strength to chose 'life" for those who love you. Love, Aunt Diane
Laura and Family Words can not express how truly heart broken I am for you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you the strength you need and guide you through this unimaginable loss Love Lisa
This is a song that reminds me of Anthony when I hear it...So I played it for him today.
"When you were Young" by the Killers.

I only knew Anthony as a baby, he was 2 years old. I'd come over the house to see Matty & Chris and he wouldn't leave my side. I loved that kid! My favorite memory of him is with his toy phone. He'd sit on the floor in Matt's room and pretend to talk to me on it. I can see and hear him saying "Hello Dawn". I still have the baby picture that Laura gave me. I wish I could have known him now. Laura I don't know if you remember me. My heart is broken for you and your family. So much tragedy in the past few years. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending much love.... Heaven gained another angel...may he rest in peace with Chris. Love, Dawn Conway Trombatore
I didn't not know Anthony but I heart breaks for any young person who has to subcome to this. My prayers go out to his family. God Bless you, may tomorrow be a brighter day.
I' am devastated yet again by the loss of one of my young family members, my friend & nephew Anthony...I can only imagine the pain your in Laura...but know that I share that same pain for this loss... Anthony was very special to me, I loved him dearly. I am again down on one knee hanging my head in pain & sorrow for this loss... Rest in Peace Anthony, with my brother...and know you were loved by everyone who knew you. Uncle Matt
Laura, Tim, and Family, Deepest sympathies and prayers during this time... I struggle with typing the words that can express how truly sorry I am for this tragic loss... For a season, Anthony and I were absolutely inseparable as friends. For eternity, he will affectionately remain in my heart as a brother. Thank you for always believing in me Ant, I will never forget. I love you.
Well Anthony.....and to the entire family.....we were more then close ....we were like brothers. we agreed...we disagreed. never the less I loved you like blood. and u did me. u were one of the best athletes ive ever seen. the passion you showed or your friends and family is unmatched. this earth will never be the same without you in it. nor will my life. i wish we had more time to spend together. there s a lot of things i wish went different, but God needed you there in heaven. I know u love us all and you're looking down on us. we will all miss you. we all loved you until the end of time. There so much I wish I could say. but I cant find the words...but now you can see them in my heart. You helped push me into the career I'm in now.and I am thankful for that. I am thankful we all had the chance to know you. To Mrs. and Mr C. you will always be in my prayers and thoughts. I bid you farewell Anthony...from the bottom of my heart.
Lost too soon. I only have his eyes and smile when he looked at us rattling in my head. He loved life with a touch of tease, mischief, and sensitivity that was only his. Everyone loves a person that can make you laugh and he could do that. The only person that could brighten an already sunny fairway. Excellent athlete and enjoyed building or fixing anything with his hands. His big heart and sence of loyalty and family, given to him by his mother, was his most precious parts of his character. Always loving, my Buddy, had so many loyal friends and cousins, which describes perfectly what my Grandson was all about. How can all that he was be taken from us by one nights indiscretion with the wrong recreational cocktail. It makes me angry at the dangers our young people choose to ignore and is so available to them. I'm not sure how we can handle how much he will be missed.
