Toni was always everyone's biggest cheerleader and supporter.

Blessed to have celebrated your 40th birthday with you.

My condolences to my cousin Ian, Dominic and the Howell family. May God grant you all peace during this difficult time🙏🏽💕

Always remember u looking out for me cuz I’m truly sorry ,but I know u will be rembered by all the family I saved your last message cuz was looking forward linking up but god had other plans. Rest in peace

As a vibrant soul, Toni-Ann was more than just a family member; she was the glue that held us together, rekindling connections that had grown distant and bringing warmth to our hearts. Her presence was an anchor for our family, a guiding light that reminded us of the power of love and unity.
 
Toni was a bright spirit, always eager to learn, grow, and share experiences. As a cherished niece, I had the privilege of taking her to school, celebrating special occasions, and watching her blossom into a remarkable young woman who touched the lives of all who knew her. Her laughter was contagious, her kindness boundless, and her love for family undeniable.
 
Although we miss her, she was only on loan to us, we understand that God needed her for a greater purpose; a new assignment that only someone as special as she could fulfill. While her time with us was far too brief, the impact she made will echo in our hearts forever.
 
Toni, bless up yourself! You have left a lasting impact on all of us. Although you will be deeply missed, we take comfort in knowing that you have returned to the loving embrace of our Creator. Rest in peace, my niece. Your light will continue to shine in the memories and hearts of all who loved you.

We all loved her. May she rest in knowing this as many of us never got to tell her because we took for granted how precious a life is.

You always had a presence about you, when you walked into any room and you always kept smiling. You had this postive light about you that even if a person was sad, being around you they had to smile. Thank you for the messages and the videos of encouragement you shared with us, I know they popped up just when I needed that message.  You will definitely be missed.

S.i.P My Meadowbrook fren, from then until you went home.🙏🏽

Though Toni-Ann may no longer be with us in person, her spirit will forever remain in our hearts. She has left a lasting impact on all of us, and her memory will continue to inspire and guide us. We will cherish the moments we shared with her and remember the love she gave so freely.

Rest in peace, Toni You are deeply missed and will never be forgotten.To her immediate family Andrew Marlene and all her sisters and brothers who knew and loved her so very much her memory will live on forever.
Please accept warmest condolences from myself Lloyd Rohan Shakir and  all our family 🙏🏽

Toni-Ann Howell (Mrs. Toni) as I would always address her. A sweet, helpful and kind person.  Her smile, her many hellos and the time she would take to just ask " how are you'.  I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet and to work with her.  Mrs. Toni will be greatly missed, her memories, kindness and her laughter will live on in our hearts. She has been a pleasure. Thank You and God Bless.

To: Toni-Ann

Such a beautiful and kind spirit, a phenomenal woman, friend, mother and all-in-all human. Heaven gained another angel. We cherish every moment  our family was able to unite, laugh and live together. You will live on in our hearts forever. Rest easy our dear cousin and niece ❤️❤️❤️.

Love always and forever,

Rose, Jay-Anne (JJ), and Zachary (Nicholas)

This photo was the last Sunday we spent together. I admired your perseverance and adored your ability to redefine life on your terms. We shared a bond like sisters. Toni I have no words… I don’t know what and how to feel. Empty is not the word to describe the void. However I’m contented knowing you’re in the Lords house and until we meet again, I love you!

I will always remember Toni Ann as a caring,bright and straightforward person,even  as a child she always exemplified ,empathy and love,she had a spirit of love that you couldnt ignore..And as she grew into a woman she should still maintain a level of correspondence with me.i  can see why she became apart of the ministry of God..that was her calling🙏🏾👏🏽❤❤..Rest in Peace sweet child of God..My thoughts are with all the family xx

So sorry to see you go friend. Your motto was when life feed you lemons 🍋 squeeze them. I always loved your tenacity and loving spirit. Sleep well until we meet again❣️ Yvonne

I met her when she was about 15 or 16. She was such a nice lady and a lovely person. We had wonderful times. We love you cuz 😘. 

R.I.P

Toni, we love you and miss you so very much.  We know that you are with Mama in heaven.  You lived a good and virtuous life. You have touched and inspired many. Sleep my dear niece until we meet again.

1 Thessalonians 4:14 “For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep”.

Hello my name is Shondrell McCullough I work in PBX/COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT I only spoke to Toni when she'd call to be transferred to a department or ask for an extension. Her voice was always peaceful and calm.  I did have a chance to see her face to face once or twice and her demeanor still was the same calm and peaceful and that's how I remember Toni.

Aunt Michelle: The last day of July 2024 has gone down as a dark and sadden day in my life, when I got the shock of my life phone call to say Toni-Ann passed. Even now as I’m writing my goodbye to my niece Toni-Ann, I’m still in shock and in disbelief and I’m wondering if Andrea is going to call and say ‘ “Aunty, the doctors made a mistake, Toni is Alive”. I am left however to reminisce on our long road trips, shopping Expeditions and our food sampling excursions , that Toni and I shared. I look forward to and enjoyed our time spent. TONI, I will miss you.. I give comfort to my sadness by knowing you are free of pain and in a better place with GOD. Rest in Peace, sleep well my niece"

Toni!!! My God, I still don’t have the words! There is so much to say about you, my friend!! I will say this much.
Toni was the first friend to welcome me in high school. Toni was my Parri, my sister from another mother, we were, as they say, two peas in a pod! you never see one of us without the other. Toni was the friend that was the life of the party, a real social butterfly. She would convince me to try all the things, like being a cheerleader one year, me, with no dancing skills, lol. We were the kind of friends who would exchange that look and laugh without words about the same thing. We often finished each other’s thoughts and feelings before the words were said, it was surreal. Something we laughed at regularly in the moment. I missed out on years of our friendship, but God brought us back together in the end. There were many times I would see how much of an amazing woman, mother, wife, and disciple of God she was. She constantly inspired me to adjust my posture about things in my life, with how she parented, took care of her household, and how she helped strangers in need without hesitation. I would often say Toni it looks like you borrowed Beyonce 24hrs, because from you open your eyes you have been going, and going, and going like the energizer bunny, all with a joyous spirit. One of my favorite things to do with Toni was to study the Word and pray! My prayer partner! I am at peace with God’s decision to call her to heaven because I know her faith, trust, and love in Jesus Christ, our God was immeasurable. God, I thank you for Toni, for whom she was, and for what she brought to my and so many others' lives. I am glad she knew I loved her deep deep! She will live on with me for as long as I breathe.

God is faithful, 1 Cor 1 8-9 says, “ He will also strengthen you until the end—blameless in the Day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship of His Son, Yeshua the Messiah our Lord.”

My heart is breaking as I extend my deepest condolences. It feels unreal that such an incredible soul has been taken from us. 

Clayton's first encounter with Dominic in VPK was a moment that would forever intertwine our families. I vividly remember the first time I laid eyes on Toni; it was when Clayton accidentally scratched Dominic badly, drawing blood. I stood in shock as I watched the blood trickle from Dominic’s hand, my heart pounding with dread!

I braced myself alongside the teacher, preparing for a storm from Dominic’s mother. Then Toni arrived,  I started apologizing profusely, desperate to make amends. Toni looked at Dominic’s arm and said "They are boys, these things will happen. He will be fine, don’t worry." 

 Dominic  and Clayton has been friends ever since.  Toni became one of my closest friends. She is truly one of the kindest, most spirited individuals I have ever had the privilege to know. I will miss her immensely! Toni, thank you for the light you brought into our lives; your memory will forever be cherished in our hearts.

Donna,  My sincere condolences to you and your family for the loss of your beloved daughter Toni-Ann.  As you all go through this dark period,  my prayers are with you.  May God hug you all with his comforting arms and keep you forever in the palm of his hand. 

This is Cheryl Francis Evans....Rose friend and bonus sister from Jamaica

Toni, Iv'e tried to write this message to you so many times, but I haven't had the words because this doesn't feel like real life. I still don't have the words honestly. 

I love you so much and I felt so much love from you. These days I've been thinking about our talks during the car rides too and from work the summer that I worked in your hospital. Every morning you filled me with so much encouragement that made it possible for me to make it through the long days. I know that you were a source of light so so many others as well. We will all miss you. 

You are a testament to strength and perseverance and soooooo beautiful on the inside and out.

Toni I miss you so much, I loved when we would all get tiger for holidays and randomly do Karaoke. I’ll miss singing with you ❤️🕊️

Toni,
How do I adequately put into words how much I love you,  or how much I am going to miss you? You, MY NIECEY POOH have touched our lives in ways words can hardly capture. Your kindness and thoughtfulness were a light that shone so brightly, bringing warmth and comfort to everyone fortunate enough to know you.  Most of all, your unwavering faith in God, your deep love for family, and your incredible ability to see the best in others have left an indelible mark on our hearts.

Though you are no longer physically with us, I will hold onto the precious memories of your smile, your laughter, and the gentle way you navigated the world. I love you dearly, Toni-Ann, and I take solace in knowing that you with your Savior resting peacefully. 
I will take you with me wherever I go , as you will be guiding me and reminding me of the beauty and goodness of God's love . My heart is broken because there will never be another like you. 💔

In Loving Memory of My Dearest Friend Toni-ann,

It’s difficult to find the right words to express the depth of my sorrow over losing you. You were more than just a friend; you were a sister in every sense that matters. Your heart was so full of love, faith, and compassion, and those who knew you were blessed by your unwavering kindness and dedication.

As a mother, wife, and sister, you embodied what it meant to love unconditionally. Your family was your world, and you gave them all the best parts of yourself—your strength, your patience, and your endless love. Dominic was your pride and joy, and you nurtured him with a spirit that was deeply rooted in your faith.

Your devotion to Christ was evident in every aspect of your life. You lived with a mission that was clear—to spread the Lord's word and bring others closer to His love. Your legacy of faith will continue to inspire us all.

You were taken from us far too soon, at just 40 years old. It's hard to understand why, and the pain of your loss is something I will carry every day. But I am committed to celebrating your life, to remembering you not with tears, but with gratitude for the beautiful moments we shared. 

You will always be in my heart, and your spirit will continue to guide me. I miss you more than words can say, but I take comfort in knowing that you are at peace, wrapped in the loving embrace of our Lord. Until we meet again, I will honor your memory by living with the same grace, love, and faith that you showed us all.

With all my love, 
Jason

Toni you were the life of every party you loved God and you weren't  afraid to pray out loud. I'm going to miss our early morning prayers and most importantly I'm going to miss you 40 years wasn't enough 💔💔.

My sister was incredibly generous and compassionate. She had away of making everyone around her feel special and valued. Whether it was through her thoughtful words, her acts of kindness, or simply her presence, she touched many lives and made a positive impact on everyone she met.  I will always love you, in this life and even after. ❤️🕊️

We had great laughs at work.  Toni is always smiling.  Everyday she gets to work, I swear she is having  church going on in the office you stay mile  hearing her praying and praising god. Such a wonderful feeling whenever she prays for me. Always sending up prayers for me.  Girl you were an beautiful  boss. Love Suzette.

You were strong and beautiful. Always keep a positive mind set. You will be surely missed by your family, friends and co workers.  I know you are in a beautiful place.  Gone but not forgotten.  
From  Suzette (Sue Sue)

Toni, what a run it was! You have finished the race and are in pursuit of receiving your heavenly crown. I am privileged to have witnessed the bravery and courage of a forerunner who took up her cross even in the midst of trials and adversities. The baton you have handed over now lies in the hands of your loved ones who have been inspired by your fortitude and devotion to Christ. Rest in the arms of God, princess. Although many of us are still at the starting block, when the gun goes off, we will be running to catch you at the finishing line. Love you forever, champ🥇💕

Toni, my heart breaks... I never would have expected this. I pray for Dominic and Ian, Your siblings and parents. Pain won't last forever and the hurt will subside. But forever your memory will live on Toni. 

I love and miss you,

My loving friend Toni, we met  at IMS 20+ years ago. We created a bond  and always maintained it. We may not talk regular but anytime we did, it’s as if we were always in contact.  You have always been a tower of strength and I thank you for that. 
I love you my friend and miss you dearly.

I’m writing this with tears in my eyes. I’m still in shock and disbelief.

Toni, I still remember our early years in high school. You were the kind, sweet and charismatic friend who won the hearts of those who came in contact with you.  May your warmth and legacy live on in the hearts you’ve touched and inspired.

Gone but not forgotten. May the TMH bring peace and comfort to your loved ones and friends during this time. RIP:(

It will always be hard to pick just one memory when it comes to someone you lived with your whole life. Howe, my dear sister even though my heartbreaks knowing you’re not here physically, I will promise to let your values you in still in me continue to speak volumes. Toni showed up when it matters most and when some wouldn’t even show up at all. She would help any one who asked. She’d run walk swim or fly to ensure she could bring others joy and support she stood firm in who she is and stood firm in her faith. Even though we will forever be incomplete without you. We will find peace in carrying on your legacy. Toni-Ann Howell, the Queen she always was🩶

Toni: There is this void in my heart the day  you leave this world that will never be filled by anything 💔 there is so much question as to why but only God alone knows why.😭 here an earth you will be miss but the angels in heaven  rejoicing . In welcoming  one of there most humblest and righteous warrior for Christ. SIP My princess you will forever live in my heart .
