I don't think we will eve know why Toni was taken from us so soon. But what I do know is that she was a onderful person. I never knew the loss of a friend could hurt so incredibly much. But I know she is probly pulling pranks in heaven. To the Autrey Family, Rainbow is always here for you, whenever you may need us. We love you and sympathize with your heartache. Just know that God saw her pain, and washed it all away. Her shell may be empty, but her spirit and legacy lives on.

Just think, she now stands as the confidential observer for the assembly in heaven, watching our sisters as they perform God's will.

In rainbow love and service.

I met Toni a few years ago through our good friend Crystal. I had known Crystal for over ten years but after the first day of knowing Toni I felt that I had known her for just as long. I have a few great memories of Toni like when she stayed over at my house, and we stayed up late talking about everything imaginable including her favorite singer Avril. When Toni loved something she let it be known especially her love for her friends and family. Toni was someone we all could go to and we could tell her anything in confidence and we knew that she wouldn't judge us. Toni was younger than I but she had already accomplished so much more in her young life. She made all of us put our chin up and look forward to a brighter day. I honestly wish that there were more people like Toni in this crazy world, but we will never meet anyone like her.

Toni I miss you, a lot of things have changed since you have been gone. Friendships have been lost, people have drifted apart, but thankfully we all have our memories of you to keep us going strong. Toni, sorry for throwing you in the pool that one time, you know it was all out of love....right!?! "Rock On"

I Love You!!!!

I didn't know Toni very well, but what I did know was that she was a very sweet and caring person. Everyday that I saw her, she always had a smile on her face. She will be missed but not forgot. Thanks for your friendship!

Losing Toni has been one of the hardest things to deal with. I had not seen Toni for five years, true enough I would talk to her on the phone(not the same). I had so wanted to attended her graduation. When I talked to her that day, she was so happy and I was so proud. My mother and sister had done a terrific job raising this beautiful, loving young lady. Nothing will ever take the hurt away of losing her. I so enjoyed listening to Toni's

friends telling stories of her personality and triumps. So this is for Toni... Never give up!!!

You can do or be who ever you want!!

Missing Toni,

Aunt Tammera

Toni will be missed greatly. I remember when we first met at Thomahawk. She was always kind and positive. She never passed up the chance to say hello, especially if you were having a bad day. It is hard for me to realize that she is gone, but she is in heaven now, and she will be greatly missed. God Bless!

To the Dobbs and Autrey Families:

I am so sorry I was not able to attend the memorial services for Toni today. My thoughts have been with Toni and her families since I heard about this horrible accident. My feelings are so mixed. A young person, so full of life, taken so prematurely from us. God had a bigger plan for her. I am trying to understand why - as well as a lot others. I enjoyed seeing her and Brandon together when I would visit my Aunt Milderd. Our last visit was so nice. So many plans and now no time. I only knew her for a short time, but she will forever be in my heart. I love you...

Toni was a very good person and it's sad that she had to leave us so early. Now I realize that the saying "Bad Things Happen To Good People" is true because Toni was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was a good friend and it's hard to believe that she's gone now. She will be truly missed. My heart goes out to her family, friends, and Brandon. Lets keep her in our hearts and keep her memory alive and know that she is in a better place.

The world has lost a beautiful, loving,giving and happy woman when Toni left to go to our Heavenly Father. I know the angels rejoiced after she took her last breath her on earth and her next in Heaven. She brouht so much joy and love into our family. I know Randy and Becky loved her as a daughter. Brandon will carry her love forever but I know the love they shared will also be what will help him to love again. Toni wated everyone to love and be loved. I met her when I was visiting my Aunt Mildred, and cousins. We talked to each other from the start as if we had met long ago. She had a gift to give the world but it was cut short here on earth. Her gift of love and joy she gave to others will always live on in our memories. Thank you for being in our life. My sinceres sympathy to her Mom and to the Dobbs. Love to all Ilah Dickinson the Dobbs Okie cousin

to write this, i feel is one of the hardest things i've had to do in my life. Toni was a great friend, one of the few i had in Highschool. Whenever i was around her, i felt like i could relax and be myself, and for that i will always be grateful to her for. i'm sad though because it's like everything in highschool between Tony and Myself was a heartbeat compared to anything else. but it makes me happy to know, that i made her laugh. for me, Laughter is the ultimate power, and it fills me with a sense of completion to know i did that for her. Thank you Toni, May your soul fly With the seraphims.

I've known toni for six years now and it's been the best years ever, becase she was a wonderful person she always found a way to make me smile when i was sad, and i liked that about her. She was always a cheerful person and now she's gone but still in my heart i still wish i could see her again to bring back those memories... I would like to send my sympathy to toni's loved ones... Rest In Peace...

Over the years I watched Toni change from a shy little girl to a beautiful and confident young woman. She had the ability to make friends everywhere she went, and was always willing to help anyone who was in need. Toni was taken from us far too soon. She will never be forgotten. I am proud to have known her. My deepest sympathy goes out to Toni's loved ones.
