My memories of Toni are old and based on BBYO, now over 50 years ago. She was a leader, and I\'m not surprised to learn of her work for charities and to help the ill. She\'ll be missed.

Having grown up in Stanton Heights - Toni was always there- always smiling- just part of the fabric of our world. We were not close friends but I still feel like I lost a dear friend- there is a rending of our world. I am so sorry for her loss to her family and close friends. Her memory will surely be for a blessing...

Dear Jack & Jeff, I am not sure that we’ve ever met Toni but the testaments to her show beat great strength and pride. Wishing that your memories of your sister will always be a blessing! Our deepest sympathy, Gail and Norman Childs

Our friendship goes back to meeting Toni when I was in first grade at Sunnyside Elementary School. She was always there if you wanted to talk. I will miss your good spirit and laughter. Rest in peace, Toni. You fought a hard battle with courage.

Toni was my best friend for the last 45 years. She saw that I needed someone in 1980 when my husband was diagnosed with serious melanoma, and there was not an evening that I returned home from the hospital that she didn't call -- just to listen. The world seems less loving today. She will be forever remembered and forever missed. Rest in the peace you most certainly deserve.

Toni’s friendship and wonderful memories will always be remembered in those that she has touched. I will treasure those memories of being friends with Toni throughout high school and our days in BBG together. It was pleasure to see her at our Peabody’s High School reunion which she played a significant part in the planning process. My heart goes out to her family and dear friends. May she rest in peace.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Toni’s passing. She was a good friend and a very caring person. I’m glad I got to see her and go to a Pirates game a few years ago on my last trip back to Pittsburgh. I’ll always remember her catering when we went boating on the three rivers. My sincere condolences to her family and friends, may her memory always be a blessing.

We grew up together in different circles. Since becoming FB friends you have gained my utmost respect and admiration for your courage and determination to open peoples eyes to the importance of organ donation. May your work save lives and may your memory be for a blessing.

Toni was my best friend for over 40 years. She was always full of life. She never met a person she didn't like. She helped a lot of people by volunteering for CORE and the Crohn's organization. Sometimes when she was in the hospital she would sign up another patient or a visitor or a hospital worker for organ donation. She always had a positive attitude and survived many times by her sheer will! I will really miss her! Toni was the best!

Toni and I were in Rebecca BBG, and we both went to the same grade school, middle school, and high school. She was always so funny! We were Fbook friends, but I had not seen her in many years. I saw her a few times when I was last in Pgh., PA, in 2012. She was just like I remembered her, so funny! She did so much, during her life. She will be missed by me, and so many people. 😢 BDE

Although we both went to Peabody, I connected with Toni 40 years ago on a singles trip to Cancun where I also met my late husband, Mark. Toni and I spent these past 40 years hanging out, going out to eat, celebrating our birthdays annd and talking lots! Only 3 days before she died, she sent me a text telling me it had become too difficult to talk. I will miss you forever, my sweet friend. I love you

A forever friend like Toni only happens once in a lifetime. There will never be as good as a friend as her. This vivacious woman did more for others during her life than most other people. Her zest and enthusiasm for everything she did was immeasurable. For over 60 years I was proud to call her my best friend. Rest in peace my dearest friend. Until we meet again 💕
