Dear Friends,

It is with a heavy heart we share the passing of my husband and our father today. 

For those of you that did not know, Pastor Tony was feeling sick the last few weeks. He was not under the care of a doctor, but started feeling so bad he finally went into an emergency clinic on June 14.  He was told his heart was enlarged (half the size of his chest), they put him on medications to get his blood pressure and diabetes under control. He was still not feeling 100%.

Early this morning (Monday, June 25) he had a massive heart attack and passed away.  He was only 56 years old. They worked a long time to revive him but he did not make it. He did not suffer and we all know he was at peace with our maker.

One thing our dad told us a few days ago was about a dream he had where God showed him all the wrong things he had done from childhood to present times, and how he was forgiven for everything and this gave him great peace.  He also said he knew he was ready if he should die, and that his salvation was guaranteed.

Dad, we look forward to seeing you again soon in a world made new!

Love,

Mary Ann, Anthony, Natalie and Paul Cirigliano
