Toni and Frank were more than neighbors. They were great (and fun!) friends to us as well as extra grandparents to our children. Sharing coffee and cake in their kitchen was a highlight of many days. Toni would open the front door, call out for the kids to come over and share whatever cookies she had. She was a true inspiration with that positive attitude and giving spirit. We will truly miss Toni. Sending love to all of her wonderful family, Angie, Kal and Lyndsey

Aunt Toni and Uncle Frank were family growing up and I have so many fond memories. They were lifelong friends of my parents. I’ll miss her sweet personality and great sense of humor. May she rest in peace with Uncle Frank. They’re all together now. Condolences to her beautiful family.

You couldn’t ask for better neighbors. Tony and Frank, wonderful people and were always very kind to us. We enjoyed going over to their house and spending time with them. The mayor will be missed and Tony and her beautiful personality in kind ways. We’ll also be missed, but we know they are now together in heaven and watching down on us.
