Dear Jaymee, When I met Toni at the skilled nursing facility, the first thing that came to my mind was, "What a beautiful lady!" Her eyes, especially, were so pretty and expressive. She could easily have been an older version of Victoria Principal! That initial visit with her was so nice. We talked for a while; she showed me pictures of her grandson, I showed her pictures on my cell phone of my two young grandsons and new baby granddaughter! We really connected there! Anyway, when she moved to my board and care, Bethel Home, I had the pleasure of taking care of her and getting to know her a bit more. She was sweet, very independent and friendly. The disease that assaulted her body changed much of that but my memory of her will always be of her first few days at Bethel Home. She sampled my "lumpia" (egg roll), laughed at my song and dance rendition of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning," and joked with my husband, Oscar. I miss Toni and wish I could have served her longer, but I know it's for the best that she's been liberated from her sick body. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jaymee and Brad! Love, Lynn
Toni,
It was truly a pleasure to have known you and spent time with you these past years.
Your strong spirit and zest for life (Traveling to India) ,inspired me/everyone that had the pleasure of your company. I will miss your hugs and smile.
You were and are an Angel..
To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.
