Brooke,
Paige and I were just reminiscing last weekend about you and when we searched your name we saw this very sad news. We were so saddened and my thoughts went to your Mom. I hope you remember us. We are thinking about you both in this very sad time for you all.

Toney was a great man. I worked with him for several years. When around him, it was hard to stop laughing. He was always in a good mood and ready to have fun. My wife Mary got to meet him one time on a biz trip, and liked him right away. We send our prayers to Judi and her family. Toney will be missed. John and Mary DeVivo

Toney's dear sweet family! We send our love & appreciation to Judi who opened her home for Toney & Brooke to aid in the care of Lynette Ledoux's mom, early last year! With Craig Ledoux & Toney's help, Lynette and family from Fla. & Mamou, were able to give Beverly critical care-taking, in a loving environment!! Care that included spirited visits from your grandson, Tyler Tate, which was the rewarded hi-light of the day! We, the extended family of Lynette and Beverly pour our hearts out to you for sharing Toney's love with us during our time of need! In hopes that all the out-pouring of love for you & family could somehow ease your pain at this time of loss. May all your family find comfort in knowing that Toney's love, life & acts of kindness will find him peace & reward with The Lord!
In love & appreciation to Judi, Brooke, & family,
Love to our cousins Lynette & Craig Ledoux & family, who lovingly cared for Aunt Bev too!

Judy, Brooke, Christine, Stevie and all of the rest of our family who loved Toney: I am broken hearted that we have lost Toney. I am filled with wonderful, crazy memories of our times together in Conway, the beach or Charlotte or wherever we got to be together as we grew up. I loved his great smile and his sweet disposition. He was my cousin and my friend and I loved him very much. May God bless you all and comfort you with the knowledge that Toney is healthy, happy, and with our Aunt June who adored him.
