It was last summer when i met Anthony. He was deffinently one of a kind. He would pick me up everyday and we would all just hang out. The first nickname he ever gave me was Lori-L. Because he couldnt say my real name that good when he first met me. Then he eventually learned. But, the nickname still stuck and i was called this every once in a while. He was that best friend I never had. He could always brighten up my day. And he had my back whenever I needed him. About a month before he passed, Anthony started telling me that he loved me and stuff. And I just never paid any attention. And everyday he was the one that would wake me up saying good morning beautiful. I looked forward to this every morning,that text or that call. He would tell me many things, and I would never really think any of them. But now that hes gone, I just wish he could tell me he loved me and stuff all over again. Because I miss this boy, more then anything in this world right now. But i will remember every single fun and bad memory i had with him. Because I know that he is always going to be looking down on me. I just have that feeling. And I try not to cry because he wouldn't want to see me upset, but its hard. And this is my tribute, to Anthony William Throop, I love you Anthony, and no matter what i will always remember you. Love, Your little Lori-L.

I have so many funny and sad Memory of my son. When he was little he loved the movie Home Alone after seeing the movie a few days later i could here him in the shower singing the song that Kevin sings he must have know i was out side the door because when he opened the door he put his hand on his face it was so funny he looked just like Kevin in the move. One year we all went down to Ocean City MD i bought Anthony a boggy board he couldn't wait to try it in the water when we got to the ocean he wouldn't get in he said the ocean was going to suck him up. He was all was doing some thing to make you laugh some thing to make you cry some time he would make laugh and cry all at the same time I Love you My One and Only Son

My Son's Last words to me before he got on the bike to leave that day was mama I'm coming home.
