Sincere sympathy for Toni’s family. Toni was a neighbor to my parents, a friend to them as well as my sisters and myself. She was an absolute saint who loved her faith, loved people, and modeled goodness, always caring and doing for others. She lived the Beatitudes. Heaven is certainly waiting for her. I was blessed to know her. Jean Serrani Spohn
We were so blessed to have met Toni when my parents became her neighbors in Del Webb. Instant friends as we shared our Italian heritage, favorite cookies, and foods. Rain or shine, she never missed a day of delivering the newspaper, with a treat in the bag, to my parents. Toni made everyone on the street feel special with her caring ways. She had a heart of gold and know her strong faith has her resting in peace in her heavenly home. You were loved and will be missed by many! Heartfelt sympathy, Chris Serrani-Carlascio
Of all our cousins, you were the shining light that kept in contact with all each and every one of us. Your presence, faith and wisdom gave us security and joy. We will miss you. Until we meet again. "As Always" Debbie, Randy & Derick
Sending love and prayers to Toni’s family. She was a great friend to many and loved everyone. She was not only a client of mine, but a dear friend. She is missed by all of us at Alchemy.
I worked with Toni at Wood Dale School District. She offered me her support and friendship when I came to Oakbrook School to teach kindergarten. She gave me many of the materials she had used in her classroom when she had taught kindergarten. We have kept in touch through out the years with annual Christmas card notes. This past February she sent a beautiful handmade valentines day card with a note. She was a thoughtful and kind person and will be missed.
