RIP Aunt Toni and Uncle Vic. Will miss hearing your voices over the phone when we would talk. I will miss saying to you Aunt Toni, ” is this the woman who looks like my Mom” and then laugh. I am happy in the belief you both have reunited with family in God’s Kingdom. Love ya both.
My dear Aunt Tony, you will be missed each and every day.
