Rest In Peace

We found out yesterday that our old neighbor, Anthony Davenport, had taken his life. I haven't seen Anthony too much since I moved from Idaho Falls, but I won't forget him. He was Julisa's age and when they were in grade school and junior high we saw him a lot. He always made me laugh because I was his first crush, so whenever Anthony and his friends would come over to hang out with Critter, he would try to impress me. You couldn't help but like him because he was so nice. He reminded me a little of Tony, always playing with his younger sisters and taking care of them. He was very courteous and helpful. I send my love and support to his family; especially his little sisters who lost a great older brother yesterday. I'm glad that I had a chance to know Anthony and see him grow up from a scrawny child to a handsome young man. Rest in peace...
