Dear Jimmy & Family,
My heart is heavy to hear of Toni's death. She suffered so long, as you all did right along with her. She was the most beautiful, kind, loving human being put on this earth. From the time I was a little girl, I loved her and will continue to do so. As difficult as it is today not to have her with you, know that one day, we will all be together again held in the arms of our Lord. Right now He has her and she has no pain. She is once again that smiling beauty He so graciously gave to all of us for such a short time. My love & prayers are with you all. Sorry we are not able to be with you in person.

Dear Uncle Jim, Phyllis, Cindy, Chuckie, Vito, Jimmy John and the entire Picone family... We were so sorry to hear of Aunt Toni's passing, but yet relieved that her suffering has ended. We loved her dearly, as anyone who knew her did. My sister passed away five days prior to her 57th birthday due to the same cancer that took Aunt Toni. I found that the following prayer gave me great comfort..

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
He closed his arms around you,
And whispered "come to me".
In tears we saw you sinking
We watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping
So peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back
To suffer so again.
So keep your arms around her,Lord,
And give her special care.
Make up for all she suffered,
And all that seemed unfair.

We hope that this will bring you comfort as well. Always remember that you are all in our prayers, and Aunt Toni will be forever in our hearts.

Love, Joe and Dianne

Dear Jim and Family,
Both Ralph and I had the honor of knowing Toni.Her sincere kindness and beauty (both inside and out)was always an inspiration to us.
She was the reason that Ralph started his real estate career in 1989. She visited his FSBO open house and Ralph was so appreciative of her understanding and professionalism, that he decided he would also like to try helping others who would need a kind, understanding person. She became a very special person in his heart.
May she rest in peace,close to God.

To Vito Piccone and the Burgio Family --- Little did I know when I met your mom in the office several years ago, that she was going to be such an inspiration and blessing to me, when I was dealing with my own cancer. She was one of the most faithful, and devoted people I have ever met in my life. I pray that God comforts and blesses you all. While I am SOOOOO thankful that Toni is no longer suffering, I feel great loss with her passing away. I know that she is now with God and His angels.....as she was one herself. God Bless you all and keep you. Laura Friend
