My sincere condolences to Antoinette's family. She is the epitome of class, compassion, generosity and love and her beautiful soul will always shine so bright. I will always have a special place in my heart for Ants and forever hold the memories of her close. She loved her family so much and it showed in the way her eyes lit up when she talked about them. I feel so blessed that God crossed my path with such an amazing spirit.
