My thoughts and prays go out to Tony's family & her beautiful children, what a great Mom she was. I had the pleasure of sharing our sons little league days together with her, she was all about the kids & so kind & giving to all of them. Her kids were her world. Mike will always remember the fun (& the food...what a good cook) when he went camping with the family. My deepest sympathies, Toni you will be missed dearly.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. It was always a joy being neighbors with her, as Toni was always ready with a smile and cheerful conversation. It was apparent how important her family always was to her, and I'm sure she's watching over you even now. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

To Antonella's loved one's:
I met Antonella during a parent band meeting at NBHS, she was quite a presence on and off the "field" during football season. She could be found in the band room, giving direction to kids and parents alike. She chaperoned every football game and marched in every parade. Antonella was a dedicated parent, friend and enthusiastic supporter of the NBHS marching band/music dept. There will be a void in the community of parents and students associated with the NBHS music dept. at the loss of Antonella as well as a void in many hearts.
May you all find comfort today and always, in the memories you created and shared with Antonella.
Sincerely,
Desiree, Kaelyn and family
