Toni was a wonderful lady… such a huge loss. We will miss you Toni, we’ll always remember your smile. I will surely miss our long talks, all the laughs, and always ended on the precious babies (dogs). Sweet memories.
Forever in my heart lady! Rest easy and fly high my friend.

I knew Toni for many years when I worked in what was then LTSO. She was always ready and willing to help and go above & beyond when the situation called for it. Rest easy Toni and I hope Bob, her dogs & the rest of her family take some comfort in knowing how many people she touched while working at the Census Bureau.
