As a St, Teresa's parishiner for over 30 years, I have often been touched by Tonsi's consistant positive attutude and infectious smile. My late wife Patty, who was of Slovien decent, would talk to Tonsi in Coatian/Slovien.
They both enjoyed sharing their heritage. Tonsi will continue to influence my faith for many years, she will be sorely missed, and fondly remembered.
