“Depending on the time you're reading this, it must be known to you that Anthony’s remaining journey must be far less than the portion already covered, thus my time among you is drawing or has drawn to its natural close. Ninety-three years — what a privilege, what a journey. I leave not in sorrow, but in deep gratitude for the life I have lived and the people I have served. I am convinced that I have fought a good fight in all the endeavours of life and living, I have finished the race, keeping my faith in God, my creator.”
