Uncle Jack and cousins....thoughts and prayers to you all as you say goodbye to a great wife, mother, and grandmother. Aunt Toni was a great person and I always felt she cared for every child as if it were her own. I always liked going to eat lunch at Aunt Toni's because she always had Spaghettios! :) Kriss and I wish we could be there to say goodbye and give you all hugs.

If your children were fortunate enough to have Toni babysit them they were very lucky kids. That’s how I met Toni, she was a neighbor and invited me to come over so my son could play with the kids. Such a great lady indeed. Heaven certainly gained another Angel
