Memory Quilt Stories
Anthony Joseph Cuomo, Jr.
10-19-82 - 9-1-98
The square for the memory quilt I made for my son Anthony was because he grew up in Highland NY until he was 13 years old. We decided to buy a house and move to Poughkeepsie, NY. My son Anthony was sad because we moved from Highland. But every weekend and summer vacation he would walk and ride his bike. This is about 5 miles one-way. So he could spend time with his friends whom he had a lot of. My son loved and trusted every one of all colors. A friend to him was a friend. So I picked this picture because it was taken in Highland the town he loved and the butterflies are my way of seeing him in heaven free and full of life they're my reason for organ donation is because he gave away a lot of his belongings to all his friends. And I know that he would have wanted me to do the same to save a life.

Sincerely,
Carol Cuomo
