Our heart goes out to my cousins in the loss of their mother and my aunt. My husband Curt and I stopped up to their home several times in the last couple of years. Only one time was my Uncle Jim there (he was always off golfing) but we always stayed and had a nice visit with Toni. Uncle Jim and Aunt Toni will always have a special place in our hearts. They may be gone but you will always have the memories. Curtis & Kathy Cook Rio WI

Minolla is in very good hands. It is a sad time for all friends and relatives, however the goodness of the Lord allows us to celebrate her good life and know that we will join her.
I worked at the GTE-Wisconsin Sun Prairie office for many years and remember Minolla very well.
Our GTE-Wisconsin family offer our prayers for her

Deepest Sympathies to Toni's family. We enjoyed stopping in for visits with her and the dogs when we were at our place. Her and Jim were great neighbors and we will miss them both.

I remember Toni well from my GTE years. She was always so kind and soft spoken. She will be remembered by all who knew her. Prayers for her and your family.
