My deepest sympathy goes out to Deborah, Ms. Cille, and the rest of the Matthews family. I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Toni's passing. She, Bones and I used to hang out and have a blast when we were attending E.C. Glass. I will always remember the good times that we had, especially all the shopping that we did! I will miss running in to Toni when I come home for short visits, however, she suffers no more. I know you will forever feel her presence!
