Anthony you’re such a special person. He was a loving brother-in-law and uncle to me and my girls, and never hesitated to greet me with a smile, a hug and a kiss. We took an instant liking to each other when we met over 25 years ago, and feelings never changed. Anthony is funny, always quick with a joke that would make me yell “you go too far, Man!!” Do you love to cook and took pleasure in feeding his family and friends. Many weekends were spent at his home while he whipped up delicious meals and let my kids run around and play while I hung out with my sister.
Anthony, it is so hard to express the sadness I feel now that you were gone. I know that you are in the arms of our heavenly father, and that gives me comfort. Thank you for giving the world your smile and your wisdom. Thank you for blessing us with your four lovely children. They are strong and amazing, it will continue to make you proud.
I will always love you, my dear brother. Rest easy. Until we meet again,
Jean
I’m vary sorry for your loss, praying you and your family

To the Green family,
May you find peace during this time of bereavement
You are in my prayers
I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to you and the rest of the Greene family. I grew up with Anthony’s brother Gary as we all lived on the same street. I just knew Anthony was going to make the NFL as he was an outstanding football player! We had crossed paths in the grocery store and he had a big smile as we spoke, he explained he had an unfortunate injury in which he could no
longer play football! It was so nice to see him. Again I would like to express my deepest sympathy!!
Yours Truly,
Mike Edwards
Prayers & sympathy are being extended to the entire Greene family.
Gary, Michael and I are praying and remembering you during this time. May God comfort and strengthen you in the days and weeks ahead.

I pray God will continue to strengthen your family. Anthony was a very nice man who I met at Rock Tabernacle Ministries. I had the honor of teaching his young children at that time in my children chapel class and the children choir. Such happy fun children.
Rest now your job is done may you find comfort in Heaven.
