Shelly, Vicki, Garry and Mike.
It's hard to believe she is gone. There's always been my friend Toni. I could always count on her. She was one of the few genuine people I have known. She always looked on the bright side and even when things got tough she could smile and laugh and go on. I will miss her phone calls. And having her to call. My heart and prayers go out to you guys.
Love
Claudette

Vicky, Shelley, Garry, Mike and family: My heart and thoughts are with you all today. Your Mom holds a special place in my heart because she & your Dad were the first to welcome us into our 'new' family. She opened up not only her home, but also her heart, and for that, I'm forever grateful. Her wonderful spirit and contagious laugh will hold a place in my heart always.

My thoughts and prayers, and deepest sympathy go out to your family. Toni (Red) was very good to me ,like a mother I never had. Her and I had alot of good times and I will miss her dearly!!
I am sorry I will not be able to attend, I am having surgery on that day. However, I will be there in spirit and my heart goes out to all of her family at this very difficult time. I have so many wonderful memories of Red that I will always think back and smile or laugh, she was a wonderful person and a wonderful friend to me. She will be missed very much not only by me but by all that had the pleasure of knowing her. I am glad that I sent her a card and that she "was tickled" over it, that made me smile. I truly wanted to go and visit her, but I just wanted to remember her the way she was when I saw her last. She will live forever in my heart! Michail J
