I became close to Toni during a real hard time in my life, She was a great counselor & encourager to me.I remember sometime I would tell her something negative that had happened and she would say Tina that is so interesting, In my life as a Pastors wife I have used that and other words of godly wisdom that I learned from her. My thoughts and prayers are with you but we know that Toni is dancing on the streets of gold. Love, Tina

Wish I could be there Saturday to share some of the wonderful memories I have of her. She taught me a lot and secured jobs for me. We laughed together a lot, we worked hard together, and we shared so much. She was a regal lady when I worked for her. Willene Wimberly Foster
