So sorry to hear of Toni’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Gary, Maribeth, Ann Marie, Terri and their families.
Bob and I are sad to hear of Toni’s passing. She was a wonderful friend and a positive person always. We were hoping the outcome would be good, but it was not to be. Gary and family; out thoughts are with you and we will definitely see you in June. We appreciate all of the great memories!
Gary and family,
Sorry to hear of Toni’s passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need.
Toni was an outstanding lady that inspired all of us with the trials and tribulations she endured- Deepest sympathy from Monroe Supreme & County Courts
Gary and family:
I was deeply saddened to hear of Toni’s passing. She had been in my thoughts so much recently. She was a very special lady in your lives and in those many lives of others that she touched in her short lifetime. She was always so pleasant and positive. I admired her for being such a strong, courageous, passionate, pleasant, caring, and loving person. She will forever be in my heart and thoughts. She will live on in the memories of each person who knew her. It is a great loss for us all. I send you my condolences and my prayers are with you all. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
I remember the day that Toni started working for the Courts. She was so special. She was a capable, caring and kind person. Toni was always concerned for others first. She had a great sense of humor and the longer you got to know her the more you loved her. Although Toni’s struggles are over, her family and friends (that she so deeply loved) will mourn their loss for a long time to come. I hope that warm, sweet memories help to bring them comfort. We are all so much better off having had Toni in our lives and I am so glad I had the privilege of knowing her.
To the Moore Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathy at the loss of your wife, mother & grandmother. Toni was a great lady! She was always postive and upbeat whenever I saw her at the various court functions we attended. I considered her a good friend. She will be sadly missed by me and her entire court family in the Seventh Judicial District. You are all in my thoughts & prayers.
Gary, Mari Beth, and Ann,
I loved your mother so much. She was always smiling and happy. Everytime I came home for a visit I would see her at the court house. I will miss her as I know you will miss her more. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Karl and I are deeply saddened by the passing of such a brave and beautiful soul. Toni was “grace under fire”. Always kept that positive attitude and hoped for a miracle, as we all did. She loved her family intensely and they undoubtedly will feel and mourn her absence, but hopefully will find peace and comfort in precious memories. I feel certain, as she entered the eternal light, that she was met by many who love her and held their arms out to her. We will be honored to celebrate her life and spirit with her family in June.
My thoughts and prayers are offered to Toni’s family. May you remember the times she made you smile above all times. Toni, your beautiful family is a tribute to your life and loving guidance.
“May the Angels lead you into Paradise…….may perpetual light shine upon you, and may you rest in peace.”
–Thanks for sharing with me your faith and courage–I will miss you. .. until we meet again, my friend.
“Sadly missed along life’s way,
quietly remembered every day…
No longer in our life to share,
but in our hearts, you’re always there”
Our love & thoughts are with you all…..
I was blessed to have had my beautiful Aunt Toni in my life for 40 years… She was one of the most amazing, intelligent, giving and loving women I have ever had the honor of knowing. My heart aches for my Uncle Gary, for Mari Beth, for Ann Marie and all of her family but we are all better people for having had her in our lives. Even when she was at her sickest, she was always more concerned for everyone else rather than herself and that will be part the legacy that lives on in all of our hearts, that is how she truly was. Because of that, I cannot wait to celebrate her life with everyone this this Summer. Deepest sympathies and much love to the Moore and Cottone families…
My deepest sympathy & prayers to the Moore/Cottone families, Toni was such a devoted/loving person and I feel blessed to have known her. She will be deeply missed & forever loved.
Toni Ann was one of the most beautiful people i have ever known she fought so hard and always had a smile and a kind word for everyone…She never let on that she was sick. Our hearts and prayers go out to Gary and the family…Toni will truly be missed!!! God Bless
I am a forever friend of Ann’s, Toni’s daughter. Toni was a beautiful woman and I know she will be intensely missed.
My deepest sympathies to Gary and the whole Moore family.
