So sorry to hear about the passing of Toni. Sorry for the late post, but just got the news today. I was a close friend of Toni, and her brother Jon from 1968-1973. Toni was a true original 60's Hippie, as were a few of us. We all went to Union High School in Grand Rapids, Mi. We had a lot of great parties at Toni's house. From the pictures in Texas, I see that Toni may have retained some of that 60's Hippie legacy! Good for her!

I met Toni and her family the summer going into 10th grade when my family moved into the neighborhood, five houses away. Toni was the coolest girl in high school. Her demeanor was always so elevated then the rest of us. Her wisdom and loving soul graced all her met her. May she be held in the arms of the Goddess as she is looking out for those she loved and those who loved her so dearly. Maybe she is driving around in that gorgeous Riviera. Sending lots of love and condolences to all her family.

Toni was such an influential part of my life... like a 2nd mom. She loved me as her own and she will forever carry a special place in my heart! She was a shining light in so many people's lives and just an all around beautiful woman inside and out! I have so many beautiful and wonderful memories... most important the unconditional love that she showed me.. she loved me and treated me as if I were one of her own! She was the most kind soul... there are just not enough words to express what a wonderful person she was.. I could go on and on! I feel so very blessed to have known her and been loved by her!! I was reading one of her last texts to me and she said "don't worry for me, when my work is done here, the Godess will take me. Love you sweetheart!" She never missed a birthday or a holiday! I love you ALWAYS! You will be truly missed Toni but will forever be in our hearts and I know you're always here in spirit! I love you Dale, Ginger, Meriah, Lisa and the kiddos and I pray for peace and comfort for you all... and to Toni... until we meet again... ❤️

Toni was an inspiration for many including myself. Her determination to live and keep on giving, never asking for anything in return...WOW! A beautiful person has left us. So many relied on her. Those in her life have been blessed.
