Hey, for some reason I always think of you from time to time. As many others have said here, when someone meets you-you make an impression. You leave a hole inside that bothers me, even after all these years we didn't speak. I still have the show tunes and other random songs you downloaded on my PC back in like 2002... Next time I will be in NJ I will visit you.

Every single day I miss you Toni. So sad, and so grateful.I've missed you longer than I knew you, so unfair. You were evrything I had hoped & dreamed of. I'll never understand why, but I trust that God had a bigger picture that I will only understand when I'm back with you. Meanwhile, I miss you & I love you.
November 12, 2010
Thank you Beth. We miss her so much too, it will never be the same without her. She was a special person and everybody that met her, loved her. She is resting in peace.

Well it was a beautiful wedding Tone. Your Dad is very happy. We knew you were there because it didn't start raining until after the ceremony. Your Dad said you held the rain back for him. You don't have to worry about him anymore, he is happy, but you can still stay close to him. He will always need you and will always miss you as I do. I love you.

Now Aunt Grace is up there with you. I know she loved you, she used to be so happy everytime you stopped in to see her. I will miss her but I know it was her time to go. God wanted her just like he wanted you. Take care of each other. I am sure you and she will be at the wedding, smiling down. Rest in peace, miss you and love you.
August 17, 2009
Dear Toniann, again God has taken one of ours, and now Aunt Grace also will know the truths and all answers to the "why" questions. I was proud to see her hours before she left us, and had a wonderful conversation with her, all about life. She was very insightful and very ready, although it is brings much sadness to Carolyn. It was rewarding to be part of the end of her life

Hi my angel, because I know you are one of God's angels now. I still don't feel like it happened, but I know it did. It is a strange feeling because I still think when I come up to NJ I will see you. I know you will be at the wedding, looking down, smiling and saying "I know my Dad's happy now". That's what you always wanted, for him to be happy and he is, but he will always miss and love you. Rest in peace, I love you forever.

Hi Toni,
Its been a awhile, I've written here, sorry. I know you hear me talk to you everyday though, I miss you so much. I still can't understand why you were taken from us so early, but I trust in God there was a purpose for this tragedy. So, in the mean while we all have our very own guardian angel keeping an eye on us. I love you Toni, and I miss you deeply.

Dear Ton, it will be seven months already, and still no matter how good things get, you are still gone, and I am missing you. It is true,that a mother can substitute alot of things, but never her children. A mother's love is powerful; she will protect their reputation, try to keep their free from harm and lastly control their fate, all because they love them. I know now that you are aware of all the truths and can answer the many "whys" of life. I keep in touch with many of your friends, just to relive the memories we had, and they were great. The road trips, Herman, dance, and the many antics,(making a video of the cooking) always make me laugh. How I love and miss you every second of my life, please stay close,and by all means,
Save the last dance for me" love ya Mom

My dearest Toniann, I am sitting in my office looking at your picture, you are striking a dancing pose. I am remembering how wonderful it was when you came into our lives and how sad it is that you left.Months have passed since you were taken from us and I don't think I will ever understand the reasoning behind this, but, i have comfort knowing that where ever you are resting, you are making a difference. I dont' write much because it is too sad. So, I look at your pictures and focus on the good.
Please be in peace beautiful girl and look down upon us.
Love you and remember always,

Hi Ton, well I got through Mother's Day, even though you were on my mind all day. U. Joe took us out for brunch and we had a nice time. A. ReRe and I remembered you and some of the good times we had. When I came home, there was a message from Anthony. He called me to wish me a Happy Mothers day. That was so thoughtful of him. I called him back and left a message thanking him. Love you

I was just sitting here thinking about you and all the good times we had.Living in the same house on 68th Street. You came down every night to see Grandpa, and how we all laughed at the game you two used to play. I know you are with him now and he is very happy, he loved you so much, you were "his girl". Spoke to Anthony the other night, he is still very sad and misses you. Love you and miss you.

Hey Toni,
Its your old pal, i have been thinking a lot about you lately,all the times we spent together,laughing and relating on a personal level. I will never forget the life that you brought out of me. I remember when we gave each other a Christmas card. That was a good memory. i felt the concern and love that you showed me. I will never forget the song you wrote. i remember it still. and how beautifully you danced to its rhythm . I remember you darling.i miss you so much and i love you.
January 19, 2009
Oh sweet child how I wish to have had more time to get to know you, however, through all your family and friends, those who raised you, loved you, sacrificed for you and borne you. I indeed know you and since you were a baby! Dancing through the living room, always smiling for the camera, enduring thoughtfulness for other people, from rays of sunshine to troubled waters, I have learned about you. What joy you brought to crowds of people. The sparkle in your Dad's eye, alas now a light which has dimmed useless for normal vision to see. Oh, the anguish in your father's eyes and Grandma Theresa's heart, almost to much to bear. Why did you get chosen so young? I wish so much for you to be here among all the people who love and adore you and who miss you with twisted turning hearts. I too was robbed of you for my time with you was so short yet lifelong. My heart bleeds for all who cry for you and if for one wish, I would bring you back, your Dad misses and needs you so much. Your Dad is strong, realistic and yet wanders through the fog which has overcome him. Please Toniann help him heal, lead him to faith and to find comfort in his heart once again. His broken heart reveals itself even when he smiles, for the pain cannot hide. Anthony has been changed forever.I wish you could come back! I am grateful for having known you and through you I have learned to love again, once feeling incapable of deep, close relationships but by you I learned to take risks, I let love in and gave it back knowing much suffering comes with love and loss. How important it is to give back to others then to give nothing at all. You taught me to love again and share my love with others who love me back and who bring meaning and love in our own dimmed and darkened existence. I am reminded of your beautiful picture on the fridge, oh such a beautiful ballerina! I am so very sorry that this has happened. Rest in peace sweet child.

Hi Toni, I was just telling Teri lastnight about some of our time together that weekend in NYC during the summer. I know now how much we all take time so much for granted. Our time together was short but FULL! Can you believe it was only a year ago you found out about me!! All week I've been seeing pcitures randomly of 2 guns pointing together, just like that poster cut out you put your head in of the guy with the two guns tatoo! I guess you were saying hi to me, and thinking of me too!! I missing you everyday Toni. ILY Grace

Today was not a good day for me. I still can't believe you are gone and I will never see your beautiful face again. You are constantly on my mind, and I remember things that you did and said. I keep hearing you say "Hey Granny". I feel so lost, I can't even explain the feeling.You were not supposed to go before me, you had your whole life ahead of you, I lived mine. I guess God knows what he is doing but I still don't understand why. I love you.

I hope you are resting in peace. I miss you so much, just to hear your voice again on the phone. My heart feels like it will never be happy again, it will always be lonely for you. I know Grandpa is taking care of you and you take care of him. Bye for now my angel, love you always.

Hi Tone. Happy Birthday, even though its a week late. I hope you enjoyed what we did for your birthday, the balloons, the flowers,my cards for you and the confetti. The singing was a little off key but we wanted you to hear us. We got through Christmas, I don't know how, but we did it. It wasn't the same without you there. Thank you for the TV, I know you wanted to be included. I am enjoying it very much. Anthony brought me a present of a beautiful pair of pajamas. Mom Grace gave me a frame with four of your pictures in it. It is hanging on my living room wall. I love it. I miss you very much and I know someday we will be together again. Rest in peace, I love you.

Happy Birthday Toni!
By now I know for sure that you have made friends with almost everyone in heaven so hopefully you can take some time away from your big b-day party up there to read some of our messages. I came to visit you today with Big T, Granny & Suzie. I hope you like the decorations that we left for you, they were beautiful. Driving to your house and knowing that you wouldn’t be there to greet me with a big smile and hug hurt so bad. It’s still very hard for me to believe that you are no longer with us. I can almost feel your warm touch and smell your sweet smell when I kiss your picture good night every night. Your Dad is a Great guy, one of the best that I have ever known but you already know that... Please stay close to him (and us) so that we can all get through this together. I promise to keep in touch with him, Granny, Mom Lil & Mom Grace. They were always part of my family through you and that’s never going to change. I still do and will always Love You my Toni!

"Happy Birthday Toni!!" This is really a hard day for me. So many dreams & wishes I had for you, and us. Every year for the past 25 years I wondered how you were, what you were like, if I made the right choice...I now know I did. Your family are such unbelievable beautiful people. My only peace I have with you being gone now is knowing you were truly loved your whole life. And when I was priviledged to finally be a part of it, my dreams were answered. I can't believe what a beautiful young woman you grew up to be, so caring for others, such a smile that could light up any room you entered! The love you gave to others was certainly equaled to the love you received in return. Toni, I wish our time was so much longer, but I thank you for loving me back in return. You made it so much better for me while I was a part of your life. I woke up everyday looking forward to talking with you. I miss you with all I am Toni, I wish you peace..please stay close to me, I feel you deep in my heart always. Happy Birthday...xoxoxoxo

Dear Toniann
Back home now and thinking of you.
Christmas just wasn't the same without you to stand outside and freeze with me. Remember how we laughed last year when Uncle Joe steped in Lola's mess. Christmas just was very hard without you, but I kept a picture of you as a little kid bouncing all over the house. I gave your cookies to Dad this year. He really needs them.
Merry Christmas to you in heaven. Rest peacefully and stay close.

It is a special ceremony this year, for there is someone new at the heavenly table, but we are blue without you; keep coming thru, I love to hear from you. I was the first one to hold you and will never forget that moment, I will be here forever, please stay close, mommy

Hi Tone, I will be up in NJ tomorrow for Christmas. It won't be the same because you will be missed. I am coming on your birthday to visit you with Dad and Anthony. It is a sad holiday for all of us but we will all try to do our best to make it good for your Dad. I sit here sometimes and I just feel so lonely and I still cannot believe your gone. It's like it was a dream,and I will wake up and you will call me, but then I realize it did happen and you really are gone. I miss you so much, rest in peace and stay with us. Love you

Hi tone, I hope you like your angel Mom and I put for you (I hope it stays standing). When i saw it, i immediately thought of you. Oh, how i miss you. You are in my thoughts every day, but, i don't cry because i have faith you are in a better place. God would have never taken you from us unless he needed you by his side. I believe you will be running things in the universe shortly. You always had that gift.
When i sit by your grave, i feel a sense of peace so that makes me happy. Mom is coming along. i promise we will take care of her down here and I know you will protect her.
Please rest in peace my love.
In my heart forever,
Aunt Deb

Hey Toni,
I absolutely love that picture your dad posted of you dressed as an angel. I put a copy of it on my desk at work & on my phone because it makes me smile everytime I look at it. Man... it's almost like I can actually reach over and touch your face. Watch over us and keep close babe. I Love You.

Hi Tone, it's Granny again. Just wanted to let you know I am Ok and everyday gets a little better. I don't know about Christmas, but I will try to be strong for your Dad. I know how much he misses you. There are no words you can say to someone who has lost a loved one so young as you. God must have had a plan for you. I think you were one of his angels sent down to brighten our lives, but now he wanted you back. I wish he could have waited a little longer. Rest peacefully, I love you.

Dear Toni: Although I miss you every day, I know you have touched the face of God and are now in Heaven with Him, all the Saints, Angels and Archangels. I'll never forget you. I'm sad now knowing you're gone....but I won't cry because you are no longer here...I'll smile because you once were here (and part of my life). How lucky I am that you let me be part of your life and enjoy your friendship, if only for a little while. Sleep well, Toni, until we are all together again and realize God's Great Plan....
