I never met Toni, however I talked to her often. She'd call the Walgreens I work at so I could gather the list of items she wanted so an aide or neighbor could come pick it up. Usually included Arizona Sweet Tea! She was a very sweet lady. RIP, Toni!

Pat, I am so sorry to hear about the death of Toni. I did not realize that she had gone to Hospice. I sold Avon to her for several years, she was a very nice lady and I will miss her. I never met Toni's daughter but I heard a lot of nice stories about her family.

Thanks for sharing Tony with me all these years. I'll never forget all the laughter we shared, and when I called her from a Nascar race. She turned the sound down on her TV so she could hear from our phones the starting roar of the engines. I believe Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the Daytona just for her. What a wonderful friend she was and I'll miss her dearly. Sending my deepest sympathy, Bobbie
