Volleyball

Tony always made us laugh whether on the court or off the court. He never failed to remind us to live in the moment but also be competitive. We could’ve been loosing by 10 and he’d still have some sass and probably make us laugh. There is so many more memories I could share and continue to share but he continues to shine a moment in my life and I continue to find moments to smile about him. Volleyball continues to be a special momentum in my life and Tony’s memories are what continue to bring me joy to playing the game because I know he’d want me to continue to play for him.
