Antoñio 's life was short but filled with more love than anyone could ask for. He gave us so much more back that our lives will be forever changed. We saw his everyday changes in pictures we received every day, his big, beautiful eyes filled with wonders to his long eyelashes to his never-ending locks of hair that gave your mommy so much joy combining the pride that you gave your daddy for being so strong. How you softened your grandfather's heart and the love that your grandmother had for you as they were the ones that were able to see you grow the most. You made your godmother so happy that you were her godson. You will be forever in our hearts and minds, Antonio will continue to live on in our memories, our thoughts, and our love.
