Toni was one of my best friends in high school. She died from a severe case of multiple sclerosis. She was in a wheelchair when she and I, Mike Anderson, and Gary Zempel attended the first Edina Class of '64 Reunion.
Toni had a calm, soothing personality, with an easy sense of humor - I liked her a lot! She joined some of the bridge games held at my house in high school. Oh, and Toni, Dolph Bezoier, Jim Kerwin, and I were in a group that wrote a short story in Miss Grove's English class in 11th Grade. That's when I first really got to know Toni, in our outside-of-class get-togethers to write the story. (I don't remember the story; but given our group, it must have been pretty wild.) Lots of fun!
I remember talking to Toni at a reunion. I think it was the first one - 5 years? She had some children and was going to start college. Remember thinking how much of a challenge that would be with kids at home.

I didn't know Toni at all, although I do remember seeing her in the hall.
I'm sorry she didn't live to enjoy the rest of her life, which we all deserve.
Rest in peace, Toni.

I remember Toni as a quiet girl with beautiful blonde hair. I'm sorry I never knew her, and sorry she passed away too soon.
