Angie, Matt, and Neal,
Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your families on the lost of Anton. His friendly personality and harmonica playing will surely be missed during family parties. We always enjoyed listening to his playing, no matter what the song. Knowing that he is at peace in heaven, can hopefully ease some of the sorrow you are feeling today. May God watch over you always.
