Did not know you (Toni) well, but it was good to have you as a neighbor. Heaven gained another good person to our earthly loss. Cheers, James T.

Your were my baby-sitter. You were age 11 when I was born. We practically grew up together in Chicago, Grand Beach and Addison despite our 11 year age difference. You're mother love me and I could feel it even at the tender age of 2 when she passed. I think you were merely age 13. Until your dad remarried, whenever we came over to you house I could sense a big whole, that a big presence was missing. Things were profoundly different. Quite! Then you took me to high school football games with your friends, probably because you were told to get me out of my mom's house for the day. But you didn't seem to mind. I dom't have specific memories of going to the games as a 4-5 year old but I have only fond feelings which means I must have been accepted and enjoyed myself. I could go on but I won't. I leave it with this: I look forward to the family reunion in the hereafter where we can all reminisce together. Right now, I will just consider myself extremely fortunate to have had you as a major presence all me life. Eternal Love, Cousin Dan.

So sorry for your loss. I was lucky to be able to meet Toni and spend some time with her! Amana I love your tribute to your Nonna , you had such a beautiful love for each other. She left you too early. Your time and memories with her are priceless! Angelo she told me how much she enjoy her lunches with you at DeMarco's, especially the baked clams!

I grew up right across the street from Toni and her family. We all hung out together. She was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. You will be missed.

I will be honest and admit I really don’t know how I feel or how to feel. How do I say goodbye to the second most important person in my life? My amazing and beautiful Nani, you have been teaching me my whole life; I have been learning from you for as long as I can remember. What mom was not able to teach me you picked up right where she left off and you have been a key role in creating the person I have become at this very moment. I feel so lucky and blessed to have been able to spend so much time with you majority of my time always living under the same roof, sometimes we would argue but always ended our night even if we were still mad at each other you would come in my room before you go to bed and say “I love you honey sweet dreams I’ll see you in the morning.” I am Beyond thankful to have spent these last five years reunited with our family but better yet reunited with you because God had a plan. And that plan was for you to teach me everything I needed to know. You helped me become more self-sufficient. You wanted to prepare me for life. I life that you knew you would no longer be a part of. The day before you left us I told you “we just have to get you better”, and you told me “if it’s my time to go it’s my time” and I remember telling you “it’s not your time Nani, there’s so much more for you to teach me and there’s so much more for me to learn from you.” That’s one thing I learned from you, that you were never afraid of death. You had your faith in your religion and you were ready to be reunited with mom and Mary and your mom and your dad. That is the only thing that is getting me through this is knowing that you were at peace in your life has come full circle. Your life is complete and that gets me through every day knowing that you are not alone. I look forward to the day I get to hug you and mom again but until then Sweet dreams Nani, I love you and I’ll see you in the morning ❤️
