    Toni is going to be and already is so missed. She was a bright, lovely woman who loved her pets and family and shared her smiles with all. She was the first person to greet you at Knitter’s guild meetings and kept you smiling. She was loved!

    RIP dear friend. We met at Deaconess Hospital back in 1971 and we had so much fun over the years. Wonderful dinners and trips and so many belly laughs. You will be missed.

    Toni and her parents, Al & Faye, were our neighbors over 20 years ago. They all were wonderful people! Toni enjoyed life! She loved walking the dogs and would let our middle son, Josh, who was a toddler at that time, walk with her and chat. Her laugh was contagious! They were not only neighbors, but dear friends. I ran into Toni a few months ago and caught up on family and all the memories we had. Her zest for life will be greatly missed.
