Toni loved smooth jazz, her BMW’s and was an avid sports fan! Nothing was nearer and dearer to her than the Dallas Cowboys! You could best believe if her Cowboys were on, she was watching. She also had a love of Beamers and she owned her fair share of them over the years. She and Roby were truly soulmates who shared a special bond and built a wonderful life together taking many road-trips and going on cruises over the years. Her dream vacation was to go to Hawaii and they planned to do so in 2020.

Toni will forever be remembered for her amazing spirit and character. She was gracious and her kindness shined through in every way. She was strong, authentic and down to earth. She was a remarkably caring woman with a huge heart and always seemed to know exactly what to say when you needed her most. If you asked for her opinion, she would always give you an honest and thoughtful response despite what you may have wanted to hear. One thing for sure, Toni has truly left her imprint on our hearts and her everlasting spirit will live on in us forever. No words could ever express what she meant to us and how greatly she will be missed.
