We send our sincere condolences to your entire family. Your mom, was one of a kind. There's nothing like a Mother's love, because it is forever in life and beyond. Your memories of her will live on, as long as you share them and continue to share them. Each one of you has special memories of her, but the one thing you all have in common is her love, unconditional love she gave you. That is more precious than anything in the world. She may have left this world but her love is always with you. We send our prayers, for you all and may God give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. Sincerely, Helen (Nena) and Ernesto Cortissoz

My kids and I loved visiting with Ms. Toni on the porch swing of her house. I will never forget the time (in her 80’s) when she noticed me struggling to bag up the leaves in my front yard. She labored down her front porch stairs and across the street to give me her leaf shovel which did make the job way easier!! She also gave me a peony plant when she was dividing the bushes from the side of her house. I always think of her when it blooms and will continue to!! She was such a kind, loving and beautiful woman!!
