My condolences to Toni’s family on her loss. She was a great gal, and I have very fond memories of her.
Sending love and healing to your family Wayne. We were out of town and I just found out. You both are always in our hearts.
Toni was one-of-a-kind, and a blessing to our world. Whenever she was a fellow learner in Unity classes, we all learned a bit more. And she blessed us all with her beautiful singing. I feel honored to have shared part of her life. Love and blessings to the Schuster family.
Wayne, we were so sad to see the Toni had passed. She was a loving woman who we always enjoyed. Her gift of song was also delightful. Blessings to you and your family. May she ret in peace.
Toni was such a sweetheart and I an truly saddened to hear of her passing. Wayne, you and your family are in my thoughts and I send my most positive one your way.
Schuster family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God grant you comfort and peace during your time of loss and sorrow. Rest In Peace Antonia
Toni was a light in my life — as our A Course in Miracles teacher, a long-time Unity student & practitioner, a church board member, and perhaps most powerfully, as an awesome voice. in many of our Sunday morning services. She now truly is “On Eagle’s Wings,”
Dearest Wayne and family. So sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. With deepest sympathy.
