Prayers Mike for you and your family.Toni was a great neighbor and friend.
So sorry to read Toni has passed. She was a great neighbor to my late husband, Hal, and I when she lived on Indian Run Drive. You have my sincere sympathy. Yes she definitely enjoyed her family. I remember the “chalk” markings on her driveway where her grandchildren played hopscotch. Toni would collect our mail for us if we were away and we would collect hers. I remember one year she visited Hawaii. Toni also made the best lemonade..very simple recipe but it was good and refreshing. Again my sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Kristin and Jessi and Families: We just learned of Toni’s passing. Please accept our sincere and deep sympathy. We will continue to have you in our thoughts. I have good memories of visiting with Toni at her home.
Toni was one of those rare individuals who always left those around her feeling better from her company. She was in a “bridge club” among other things with my mother, Vivian Steele and we were neighbors as well. Toni had a genuine kindness and caring nature and such an upbeat personality as well. We were priveleged to know her. Sending sincere sympathy and prayers to her family.
