She was my first cousin; my godmother. Toni was in and out of our parent's house as I was growing up. It was a second home to her and she was very much loved by us all. I remember her laugh, how she was such a figure of elegance with fun that was uniquely "Toni". Although I had not seen Toni in a long time, my heart is heavy with this loss. My deepest condolences and prayers are with Toni's son Blair and his family, and with her brother Jimmy and his wife Leslie and their children. You all still hold a place in my heart. Jewell

Sandra (Toni) and I were classmates during elementary school years and I was quite fond of her. She was sweet and a rather reserved girl. May she rest in peace.

May God bless you and your family, I have such fond memories of Toni when we were children and what a lovely, caring and kind person she was when we were at Hamilton School in the 50's.

I am saddened by the passing of my friend, Toni. Although I had not seen her for a long time, I always looked forward to her birthday and Christmas cards. She had such a wonderful sense of humor. My sympathy is extended to her family, especially to her treasured grand-daughter.
