Happy 30th Birthday Anthony…
I love you!

2. Wow…Where have the years gone. You & your brother keep
getting older on me. My baby. Good Lord I fell in love with you
the moment I held you. Always such a sweet baby, sweet kid &
still such a sweet man to this day. The moments between us
when you were a child and now as an adult and I only love you
more. Seeing the relationships you’ve built with your friends are
amazing. Knowing I always have your shoulder to lean on, to cry
on, has been most comforting during some of the more trying
times. Laugh together probably has to be one of the best things
two people can share…not only are you my baby boy…you’re also
one of the best friends I could ever hope to have.
Happy Birthday Anthony…This one’s for YOU!
I love you!

3. For My Son Anthony
You will always be my dearest son. Wherever life will take
you, whatever endeavors that you choose, I will always be proud of
you.
A day never goes by that you are not thought about with love. I miss
you dearly and there are many times I wish you were near. You’re a
blessing and I love you very much.
“Happy Birthday”
Dad
P.S: You are only 1/3 of the way to your 90s.
You still have a long way to go.

5. Its hard to believe that over 27 years ago, I met
you, a handsome young little boy with an
adorable smile and big green eyes. You were
always so happy and sweet…to everyone you
met!! I remember your first day of
kindergarten like it was yesterday. I dropped
you off in your classroom, turned around and
as I walked away, tears streamed down my
face. So here we are, seems like time has been
fast forwarded, WAY TOO FAST, and you are
now a handsome young man…of THIRTY!!
Happy Birthday Anthony!!! Thank you for
giving me the honor of being your
stepmom…Love you MUCHO and ALWAYS!!

7. Dear Tilla,
I am not very good at this sort of thing, so let's see, where do I begin??? I am glad I have had the
pleasure to know you for the past 12 years now. You are like a brother to me and even though our
paths have lead us a little astray, you will always be my brother! It seems like just yesterday we were
bussing tables together at Chili's and playing Bond on Nintendo 64...Good times! There were times
that we were inseparable, I mean we even dressed alike for our softball games for heavens sake
lol. The problem with that is that people thought I was you and you were me because apparently to
every other girl in this town, we look alike and are brothers anyway. You have always been my
homie, through thick or thin, and bad or good! But we can always sit back and say it sure was
fun. Sometimes I wish we can go back and relive those days. I mean I sure did have fun fishing your
brand new phone out from behind the Chili's bar for an entire shift, who wouldn't. April and I can't
express the love that we have for you B. U. D. We would do anything for you and we know you would
do the same. I mean who flies down 59 to the Nacogdoches hospital at 7 a.m. when one of your best
friend's wife (then girlfriend) broke her back the night before, all while on the phone with a buddy
telling them to warn cops to get out of your way lol. YOU do! That's just the type of person you are,
so caring and thoughtful of others no matter what! That sir, is one of your best qualities! Don't ever
change! You have been a great friend to me and April and we are very glad you are a part of our
lives! I hope you have a great Dirty Thirty birthday my dude!
Keep your head held high and keep going in the right
direction my friend. Now get me a beer,
BOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!
Much Love,
BJ & April Clement

10. Dear Ankoni...yeah, I know thats not your REAL name but thats what we've always called
you. I don't even remember why, I think Grandma came up with that.
Wow, where to start? You were the absolute cutest little baby ever! Those curls! Those
eyes! You're still just as handsome as ever, just a little older now. We didn't get to spend
nearly enough time with you growing up, especially after you went to live with your Dad. I
am so proud of the man you've become. You are a hard worker and you have so much
respect and love for your Mom, it warms my heart. Keep chasing your dreams honey, you'll
get there soon enough because GOOD things still happen to GOOD people and you are one
of the best! I'll never forget you being there to help me carry Nick "home"...I appreciate that
more than you know, even though ya'll didn't hang out as much as when you were all
little...blood is blood and you were there for him (and me)..thank you!
I love your sense of humor, your loyalty to your friends and the fact that you refuse to settle
with just any woman! Good for you! Just stay single until THE ONE comes along, it'll be
worth it and you won't have a ton of baggage to carry on that journey. I
know someday, if you decide to take that road, you will be the best
husband and father. I'm really disappointed we can't make it to your party,
have loads of fun, be the center of attention and the life of the party like
only YOU know how to be! Happy 30th Birthday Ankoni...I love you!
Love, Aunt Sabra
