My friend Toni! My heart hurts knowing you are no longer here with me but I know heaven has a good angel present. Miss you!

Toni,
You are still being missed by those that love you! I thank God for allowing me to share in your life. We did have some wonderful times, didn't we? No matter how many Broadway plays we saw together, we should have gone to more!! Lil' Sis - I LOVE YOU!

It has been 10 months since you made the final transition from this life to eternity, but it seems like yesterday. God's Word says weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Until that day, the tears will continue to flow! They are tears filled with the wonderful memories of our many shared experiences...Love Forever, Bunnie

I worked with Toni when I first started at Anthem almost 11 years ago. She was a fantastic person and will be missed by everyone. I am truly thankful for the kindness she showed me when I was brand new to the company.
January 7, 2010
Toni said to me during a conversation one day "Girl so and so needs to build a bridge and get over it"!
I have used that expression ever since, we laughed so hard. I told her I would never forget that expression and I havn't. We worked together at Anthem and she will be missed.
I am sorry for your loss.

I will miss Toni so much, but no matter how much I miss her, I know her family will miss her twice as much. She was a wonderful, funny, strong, caring, beautiful soul. I know she was wise beyond her years & when she gave you advice, it usually was common sense & exactly right. She enjoyed her friends & family, her home, her life. I will remember her smile, her wicked sense of humor, her grace & elegance. I worked with Toni for a long time & I can't imagine my life without her in it. But I'm not going to get bogged down in sorrow; I'm going to celebrate her life and her memory! I think she would have wanted it that way; I can almost hear her fussing at me not to get down or wallow in sadness. She was unique, a rare & special individual, she was greatly loved & she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her family will be in my thoughts & prayers. As long as she lives in our hearts, she is not gone. Rest in peace, Toni, & God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Dear Family,
The tragic loss of Toni came as such a shock. I worked with Toni at Anthem and we always use to laugh about her borrowing my sweater when the office was extremely cold. Those special memories that we all shared with her will keep her alive in our hearts forever.

To the Family of Ms. Toni Giles...
You have my deepest condolences and prayers of comfort. Toni and I have been friends and confidants for over ten years and have shared so many things. Our love of Family, travel, music, black art and tennis are just a few things that come to mind. It is so hards to put in words just how great her lost is for me and to all who knew her. Outspoken, headstrong, and opinionated that was my Toni. One of the last things she told me was that she had to have a talk with God about a few things...well I can just see she up there being her Outspoken, head strong and opinionated self with our Master.
Rest in peace my Sister and know that I will always Love and miss you.

Toni and I worked together at Anthem for many years and we shared the same
Birthday which is what many people said made us very much alike. She thought so too and I will miss her very much. I never thought that Tuesday December 29th would be the last time we spoke but I guess Heaven needed another angel and I'm sure she is rejoicing with all the Saints. Toni, rest forever in peace, no more pain and no more tears sweetie. I'm sure I will see you again some day.

Toni was a loving, caring and crazy friend. She never sugar coated words and always straight from the hip. She could make you laugh til you cry with a straight face and ask why are you laughing at her.. I will miss you my old friend but you have suffered enough and God decided it was time for you to come home.
With deep sympathy, my prayers and thoughts are with the family. May God bless and comfort all of you at this difficult time.
