    "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal." Toni was an amazing woman. I always told her she was my hero. She will be forever missed, but never forgotten. I pray you find peace and comfort in your hearts knowing that she is no longer suffering and is smiling down upon you from heaven above. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

    Don and daughters... I haven't seen Toni for quite some time and didn't even realize she was ill, until I saw the obituary. I first met Toni selling Avon in our Pleasant Heights neighborhood and also working with her at the Convenient Store. I alway enjoyed sharing conversation with her when I saw her. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your entire family, Don. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Kathy

    May I offer may prayers and sympathy to your family. Toni and I worked together for many years. She was a friend, teacher, and confidant. We shared many memories, one of the most precious was the overwhelming joy of becoming grandmothers.We shared the immense love and pride we both had for our grand-daughters through stories about them. Her love for Alyssa radiated from her every time she said her name. I hope a small amount of comfort will come from knowing that Toni expressed openly to me the love and pride she felt for her family, and the fact that she knew how much you all loved her. May God bless you and be with you in your time of sorrow.

    Dear Tara, I was heartbroken for you and your father and sisters when I read that your mom passed away. I had seen and spoke to her a number of times at the cancer center when my husband was being treated. She was very hopeful and I am so sorry she lost her brave battle with cancer. I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer in August and know what all of you are going through. Please accept my sincere sympathies and know I will always remember your mom as a special lady who I will always cherish as a friend. Love, Jan
