Dear Russo Family,
Anthony’s sudden passing is such a tragedy- one which has impacted so many. I had the pleasure of teaching Anthony at CA, and I am so blessed that I got to know him! But he was much more than just a student. He was someone who brought people together! Staff members such as myself, students he barely knew, long-time friends of his…all were shown love and friendship when Anthony was around. I thank you for sharing Anthony with us these past few years, and I hope you find strength in knowing what a positive impact he made on so many. The school community will miss him, but on a personal note, I will miss him immensely! I am terribly sorry for your loss, and I send you my most heartfelt condolences.
