We are in disbelief that Toni is gone. She was so full of life. Always making plans. Always up for adventure. And her artistry (along with Dennis’) made everything they touched special. Her COOKING was sooo delish. We had hoped to get together with her and Dennis this summer….and we will miss her so much. That smile….will be missed by all. She was a joy to know and we are grateful for the time we spent with her. Godspeed Toni.
Kevin Pat and I would like to offer our condolences very happy we got to have dinner with Dennis and toni when you came and stopped at house when we were in process if moving rest in peace toni
I always thought of Toni as the matriarch of the Legge group I became a part of. While we were all trying to figure it out, Dennis & Toni had our backs. I loved Toni’s laugh, her direct manner and the fact she did not pull any punches. Be patient with yourselves-there is no time limit on grieving.
I’m still in shock but so glad I got to visit with Toni recently. I will be forever grateful to Toni and Dennis for taking me in as a crazy teenager. I loved all the time we spent together and the stories they shared with my girls. Shia’s love for Greece grew so much after hearing about Toni’s travels there. I hope that Shia gets to travel there soon and see all the beautiful things Toni shared with her in person. I will miss you dearly, until we meet again!
56 years of marriage, Toni and Dennis were two sweet peas in a pod… Salute!
