Beautiful Toni, it’s so hard to believe you have been gone for four months. I think about you often Sweet Girl. You were always so Happy and had such a Sweet Personality. I always told your Mom you had such an exsotic look to you. Your eyes stood out like Beautiful Gems. You are so missed by so many. I know your Mom and Sisters will go through life, but never the same . I pray that with time they can talk about things and smile. But I know the pain is so fresh still and will be for a while. I know you’re watching over them all, give them a little nudge to smile again. Just wanted to let you know,you are not forgotten by no one. You Gorgeous Girl left a Beautiful spot on everyone’s heart who was Blessed enough to ever know you. I love you Toni Ruby.     Kathy 

Toni,
         No words can express how heavy this has been weighing on my heart. Which is no surprise because you touched everyones life in such a special way. You cross my mind at random times of the day and I always just send a little prayer up to you in heaven.  It’s still unbelievable to me, that such a good soul was taken. Hearing the news about your passing just put so much perspective on things for me. You lived your life to the fullest and was always so happy and so now I’ll be sure to cherish every single moment like you did. Your beautiful soul changed my life and you don’t even know it. We didn’t get enough time together but I’ll never forget the memories we did share. I send all my love to you in heaven sweet angel. 

I Miss You Toni ❤️
It’s hard to look at your pictures to be honest although a smile comes from it, tears follow .. 
Here’s a major throwback with the girls ❤️ 

2|04|2017 

Code ❤️
       I know I was never good at expressing myself and telling you ( or any of the girls) that I love you but I love you code and I know inside that big heart of yours that you knew that I loved you . Not a day or minute goes by that you don’t cross my mind. My heart hurts knowing that I’ll never be able to see you come walking through our front door again. My heart hurts for Emily and Evan because I know they miss their auntie code and they both love you so much. You were such a good aunt to them and was always there for them whenever I needed it. My heart hurts for mom seeing her hurt because she doesn’t have you anymore but i promise to take care of her like you once promised her . I will forever cherish our little moments of deep conversations we would have in the car and our trips to Disneyland with the kids. I will forever be your big sister and you will forever be my little sister and a great auntie to Emily and Evan. I know one day we will all be together again, so until then just watch over my Emily and Evan. I love you beautiful girl, I miss you and I  love you so much❤️❤️❤️

Toni, 
When I saw on my Instagram about your death I didn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it... I kept avoiding Instagram that day but I checked again and I said it’s all a dream she’s still here with her sisters. I cried knowing you were gone... we only hung out a couple of times at parties with Stephanie and Julia, you and your sisters were always so inseparable, I always wished I had a sister so I could have that same bond. I’m so sorry how you left this world. I wish we could go back and I could text you not to go out or to stay. I really wish I could go back and save you. You are very loved by everyone. I will be missing you but I will be seeing you. I wish I could post our photo we took but I can’t find it... I miss you Toni <3 

It seems like the minuets just pass to pass and life’s all about the past when you were there
I think about the future moves I’ll make knowing you’ll never do the same and it’s not fair. 
I think of what life now means 
And it’s so much harder then it seems
You will never be coming home to me 
And i can’t breath. 
I want to hold you, knowing I’ll never get to, not sure what else is left to do, now that i don’t have you. 
Im lost and mislead with your image in my head, tears soaking the sheets of my bed as i beg for you 
Reminiscing on the nights we’d spend hours in conversation, talking about what we thought were hard decisions not knowing the worst was yet to come. 
Getting tired of the fight, convincing myself I’m not shattered to bits, knowing this is as empty as it gets, and it’s just begun. 
It gets harder by the day
I’m growing lonely and afraid 
Asking God why he took you away 
Why couldn’t you stay?
I itch for the old times when we were young and you were mine when life was simple and we were fine but you’re gone now. 
They say i have to be strong, to loose myself would be wrong, to pick up and move alone but i don’t know how. 
I just want to hold your hand. 
I need some help to understand
Just exactly what’s his plan
I know you’re flying way up high, spreading beauty in the sky, leaving comfort where we lie throughout the night. 
You’re with me wherever i go and i know i don’t walk alone in this world of broken homes. 
You may have ended in my past
But your memory will always last. 
This too shall pass. 
I want to hold you, knowing I’ll never get to, not sure what else is left to do now that i don’t have you
You’re my sister and my friend, that will never end, to my dreams you shall attend until we meet again ❤️


Toni it's so crazy your gone I still can't believe it. your so young and beautiful. I remember meeting you in 6th grade and we had the same science teacher and we were always busting jokes . It was always a good laugh with you . I ended up moving away and next thing we were at the same highshool in Norco. It was crazy how the universe works and we ended up going to school with each other again . You were still the funny beautiful girl I knew at Moore  . We talked a bit and there and it was cool , your personality was one of a kind . I'll forever remember you Toni . From us running around when we were kids at Jenny's to us just growing up . I know we grew apart but I'm happy I knew you . Toni rest in paradise , and watch over your beautiful family . Much love from my family to yours. Xoxo

No words can explain the impact you had on peoples lives. You are such a soft, gentle and kind soul and you are so loved. I’ll never forget when it was just you and me roaming around Beyond last year because the group got too tired, I’ll cherish that small meaningful memoery forever. I love you Toni ❤️  Rest In Peace beautiful 

Toni you will never be forgotten and there sure as heck will never be another person as tough and sweet as you. It wasn’t just me, everyone looked up to you as a leader.  I think about you every day and promise to carry on your iconic phrase, #DO IT LIKE TONI. LOVE YOU TONESTERS. <3 

Man Toni, where do I begin..your mom raised some of the most beautiful and strongest woman I’ve ever met in my life...I was honored to have met you and share seconds, minutes, hours, days w you... over the years we shared less conversation. But growing up I have many memories w you and your sisters. And we were all so close. It saddens me that we all lost such a beautiful person. But I I’ll always hold those memories of all of us running around Redlands lol && those crazy days at jills. I’ll never forget that beautiful smile of yours so  Hold it down up there for all of us. And bless your family. I love you Toni, rest easy 

Toni I know we weren’t close, but im glad I got the chance to meet you💕. It was always a good time running into you weither it was at one of Michael’s kickbacks or at a rave or party. I can just hear you and the girls at Michael’s saying “Ayeeee” in the background while everyone was drinking/dancing to the music lol. You always looked so happy with your big beautiful smile of yours💕. You were such a beautiful soul💖And I’m sad that you left this world so young. Toni your memory will forever live on within us, & I’m glad I got to make some memories w you. Well Rest In Paradise beautiful Angel & fly high🦋💖👼🏻

Baby Girl💕 to say you’ve been on my mind is an understatement. I feel a heaviness in my heart since the day Ericka called me. I dropped to my knees & started crying, saying sorry. Sorry that your beautiful sisters have lost their bestfriend, sorry that your family had to endure the worst. I just couldn’t believe in a blink of an eye a Beautiful Friend was gone. You are etched in my head, I’m always thinking about you. Always. The memories, the times at the shop I looked fwd to working with you knowing that day was going to be a good day, the events we’d dance our hearts out at, all our“ girl’s night’s” , I’m happy I was able to meet you through our friends & live it up while we had the chance❤️ What everyone has said about you is true! You were the best person, your vibe was everything so kind, warm you were a great friend. You always befriended someone when we were out, you always asked how someone was. Even when we talked you’d ask about my relationship & you’d let me vent a little.. you always had the most positive thing to say after.. about everything in fact. You looked at the bright side. I truly miss you Toni there have been moments where I’d want to do something or go somewhere & automatically think of you to do it with, then the sadness comes over me & I tear up. And for that brief moment I dedicate that moment to you, I have to say I look at life a little differently now so many things I want to change for the better. I just hope you’re taking your turns with all of us because god knows we need it. I’m happy we still have a piece of you in every single one of your sisters although I may not know them all. Ericka, Sarah, Misty, Cindy, Britney, Audrey you are what still keeps her alive. ❤️
And to Momma Diane, You raised Toni to be a beautiful person/ friend to everyone around her. You are strong! Thankyou for being the best mother to my friends❤️

With so much love, Susan❤️ 

This isn’t really a memory but it’s something I would like to say. Toni u are such a beautiful woman I’m sad I didn’t get to meet you but I’ve heard a lot of good things about. U were a great sister,cousin,friend,and much more. U were so sweet and kind. And I wish I got to make a great memory with you. But I know now u are in a better place watching over your family. I love u Toni. And one day we will meet in heaven✨❤️.                                                 
-serenity💗

Toni, Toni, Toni. 
This is the picture of the day we were working together and had stupid work to do and so you were on the phone with one of your sisters and flipping over the chair 😂
Where do I start? You believed in me from the jump, couldn't wait for me to be manager and train me. You always stuck to your word and had everyone's back you cared for. I didn't ever see you switched up but yanno how us virgos do 💙 I honestly was looking forward to us spending our birthdays together or at least doing something together. Youre such a beautiful person inside and out and I know you're an even more beautiful angel. Watch over us all down here, especially all of your family. I love you Toni 💙

Its so hard for me to grasp that youre gone. Ive never experienced death this close to home and that face that u were taken too young breaks my heart even more. I will ALWAYS cherish the memories i have of u, whether it was making up dances to hannah montana songs with sarah or playing house and arguing over who was married to chris brown. I remember always being so excited to go visit when u guys lived in redlands because u were my favorites aunties and i knew we'd stay up late and eat hot cheetos all night. I wish we had spent more time together these past few years but life is just unfair. Love u always and forever aunt toni🦋❤️

I remember the day I left to Australia We cried so much to eachother because we knew we wouldnt see eachother for a whole year and your mom told me how you went home and cried in her lap and I cried the whole way to the airport because I was so sad to leave you I looked back and thought wow we are so dramatic but that just shows how not being together didn’t sit well with either of us, I feel that all over again but even worst because I don’t get to count down the days till I see you, hug you, have heart to hearts, be wild with and just simply grow with you. Toni this last month has been the most challenging time of my life my heart hurts everyday without you.  Everything reminds me of you and it’s so frustrating not being able to see you or talk to you. You are my best friend and I never would have imagined that meeting you would one day leave me with so much pain because you made that much of a impact on my life and it’s scary to think of my future without you. We would consistently tell eachother how we are best friend goals and yes I truly believed it lol  Our friendship to me wasn’t like the rest we have something special, for me very few catch my attention and I know I’ll never have a friend like you. Toni you had such a beautiful soul and was the most caring person I know, you didn’t deserve to have such a short life. I’ll forever think of you and miss you I love you with all my heart Mija i wish god gave us more time together but I’m so blessed for the time we shared, till I see you again Besstest 143 👯‍♀️❤️

never in a million years would I think I’d be talking about my sisters passing, 
the night of the accident we were talking about life we talked about moving out together we were having fun laughing just enjoying our time together like always 
Toni wasn’t just my sister she was my best friend and I know a lot of siblings say that but I can truly say we were inseparable and I’d do anything to change that night and be able to hug you and tell you I love you 
I know she knew I loved her. There was never a day that went by where we didn’t tell each other we loved each other but I’d do anything to see you one last time 
heaven gained a beautiful angel that night 
she was a beautiful person inside and out she saw the good in everyone 
she was always there to give me advice to make me smile and laugh when I was sad. 
She understood me more than anyone She brought me out of my shell and always reminded me to love myself first And to always have fun and live my life she would do anything for me we never would wanna see each other hurt or sad we were always there for each other we ran to each other when we needed someone 
I lost my best friend and I don’t know how things will be ok without her Ive never gone days without calling her or seeing her but I know she’s watching over me and will always be apart of me 
she lived a great life and always did the things she wanted to do she was always willing to have fun and live in the moment I will never forget all the memories we have together 
I promise to be a better me for you I will always love you. Rest In Peace twinsta.

There are no words to explain this feeling of hurt now that you’re gone. I miss you more and more every single day. I get anxiety thinking of how bad i want to hold you but knowing i will never again be able to. All i have to hear you are videos and that’s never enough. It kills me knowing one day when Seylah is older I’ll talk about you to her every day but she’ll never be able to have a personal relationship because you were taken from us when she was such a little baby. But when I tell her about you I’ll make sure she’s knows how much you loved her. How you’d crawl into bed with her, spoil her with cute things, bug me about when she was coming home, call her your “silly fat girl” and how amazing you were to her. I’ll tell her how beautiful of a person you were inside and out. How you loved to draw, you gave the best advice and what a free spirit you were I’ll tell her how much we told each other we loved each other and how great our sister bond was. When she has an issue I’ll try to give her the advice i think you would and I’ll want her to be a good person like her auntie. I’ll tell her about how close we were growing up and the things we did like peaking at gifts around Christmas then congratulating each other on what we thought we got. You were taken too soon but she will know you. I love you sister. I love you so much and I’ll never love you any less. You’ve taught me so much and I’ll continue to talk to you when i need you. One day when you see me again i hope you’re proud of me and the way i raised your niece. You’re mine and Seylahs Gardian Angel. I’ll never stop crying for you and I’ll never accept this but i know that you will make me stronger through this. You’re everything that will ever mean anything. I promise I’ll keep your memory alive. I promise I’ll tell Seylah about you so much it will be like you’re there with her. I love you Code my beautiful sister. 

It’s 12:55 am I can’t sleep, I miss you I’d do anything to have you back our rooms not the same I miss you keeping me company I miss our talks or never getting bored cause I had you. Everything reminds me of you. Your forever with me Toni I know that I know your in a way better place but times like this I wish you were here to talk to cause I have so much hurt and emotions I just can’t bring myself to talk about to anyone else but you. I will talk to you everyday I love you. I’ll miss your beautiful smile and positive energy. I can’t wait to see you again and hug you. It’s not goodbye forever I’ll see you again one day 🦋💙

To my sister and my friend,
      I have so much left to say to you. So many things I wish I could change. I miss you every single day. We all do. I will cherish every memory I have of you. You were always so special. The world is not the same without you here code, nothing is the same and it never will be, but we will do our best. You were an amazing beautiful soul and I know you are in heaven, and I know one day I will see you again. I hope you are the first person I see when I get there. I love you ba bode! And I miss you so much every single day! ❤️

Keep Seylah safe❤️  Her Gardian Angel 👼🏻

Toni, 
My heart hurts to know that you're gone. I rememeber how much fun we had growing up in middle school together. I remember when I first met you and we instantly became best friends and I wanted to be just like you. You were always happy and laughing and joking around. I remember we used to share notebooks where we would write each other letter back and forth. I remember the love we shared for Chris Brown and we used to sing his songs together. Even though we didn't keep in touch after middle school it still broke my heart to hear this news but I know that God had a special place waiting for you up there and you will definitely be missed here and never forgotten. Rest easy baby girl, so blessed to have known an amazing person like you. 


To my cousin...
  I love you so much.. I know heaven is lucky to have you.. you will forever be missed.. save a spot for me when I get there.. tell my Mom, Grandma Rita and Nando that the real party has just begun now that heaven has you.. I love you my Angel.. 

 Toni we started as coworkers and ended up as friends, you were the true definition of a good friend. You were always the first one to lend a hand or even and ear to listen even if it was at 2 in the morning. You were such a free spirit and always had that beautiful smile on your face. You and your family opened up your home to me when things got rough and you were the first person I told I was pregnant. I will continue to pray for your family for peace to be brought upon them and their hearts be healed.  Rest easy Toni 💕

I had only met this beautiful soul a year ago. But I am grateful I am able to say I had the honor of knowing her through her sister Ericka & she herself as an acquaintance due to the fact that she wasn't usually on the floor at the job they both shared.
Although I was unable to have gotten to know Toni personally, I feel like I do through all of you.
I wanted so desperately to attend her services but I am unable to do so, that is why I have found myself here.
My deepest condolences to Toni's family & loved ones, especially her mother, Diane. It is ok to feel what you are feeling... God wrap you in His arms & give you peace of mind & solace.
I lost my baby sister when we were children. She was 7, I was 8. It was a freak incident. Tragic & heart wrenching. It was due to medical issues that the doctors still to this day are baffled by.
I wish I could hug each one of you & your girls.
God be with you.


To Toni,
You were my sunshine in high school on days I wanted to be anywhere but there! You always had the most contagious smile and happiness I could nEver stay on a funk around you. When we started working together I was sooo stoked knowing I had u to hang onto when I wanted to kill everyone in the shop!! You were a good one, one of the best people I’ve ever encountered! God gained a real life angel that night and I pray for your family to have the happiness and strength you always shared with everyone around you! Rest Easy Beautiful until we laugh together  again 💕🖤

My beautiful toni, words can’t describe how much it hurts that you’re gone... I’ll always cherish the times we spent together and how funny and full of life you were. I remember my first day working at a shop it was your first day also, never would I have thought you would become so important to me. You’re one of the most amazing friends I’ve ever had the privilege to have and I don’t know how I’ll ever be ok with you being gone. You were one of the most positive people I have ever met and that’s something I aspire to be, everyone loved you and how you can light up a room with your bubbly personality. I never saw you be mean or unfair to anyone ever, your heart was so pure. I remember when we got into trouble that one night you defended me against the cops not caring that they would take you in as well because that’s just the kind of person you were, you put others before yourself and that’s not a quality that many people have. I’ll always be greatful for your friendship. I can’t wait until the day where I can see you and hug you again. I love you so much and just know you’ve taken a little piece of me with you. I hope you watch over me and my baby girl, I love you Tee..

Growing up in middle school, you and your sisters were damn near family to me. Nothing changed as we gotten older.  Every time you saw me, you still treated me as if I was family even if it wasn't for months/years. I am sooo glad that God made our stars align a few months ago when I ran into you and Sarah in Downtown Fullerton. You insisted to take a picture and send it to your mom and Cindy. I hope to get that photo soon. Rest Easy Toni! My condolences go out to your family!

Toni Ruby, my BTP ♥️ I love you to the moon and back. I remember that one time in PE in the weight room we first met and literally clicked instantly! It wasn’t long after we had plans to kidnap someone and hid them in the closet, but we were generous enough feed her chicken bones. You came on my first “date” with Steven. You called me out on liking him when I said I didn’t. You  gave me courage to actually be with him. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have Ian, or be engaged to the love of my life. You were full of life and pure happiness. You were what everyone strives to be as a person. I remember when Ericka and i were close and you would always tease about how you and i were friends first! Every time I ran into you it was always yelling and “awww”ing because we missed each other. I’m glad to have been part of your life, and at peace to know you were in mine. Your truly truly missed babygirl. Thank you for being the person you were. I love you forever. ♥️

Toni, 
Your were an amazing person so pure inside and out. You always made me laugh even in the worst of situations. I will never forget when we met and I thought to myself I want to be just like her. You were always full of light and kindness. The lord had a plan for you and it breaks my heart to see you go. Thank you for always being my friend and being there for me. You are such an amazing person and I was so thankful to have you in my life and saving me from locking my keys in my car all the time. I love you babe and your family♥️ May you rest in the heavens of goddess and I will see you soon♥️ Love you T♥️♥️

It has been a pleasure to know you and your family and our hearts are overflowing with love and prayers knowing that we will be unable to make Toni's funeral, but know that if our schedule wasn't so busy we would be there to love all over you.  Celebrate Toni's life, I'm sure she wants all of you to remember her joyfulness, her love and understanding.  Hugs and prayers for all of you.   Should you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.  The Wilson's 

I remember  when u were just a kid living with Tia diane....you and your sisters how fast you grew....you were my lil cousin and I'm gonna miss you....sorry I couldn't attend your funeral....wish I could be there....I got so much love for you.your sisters....ur dad my uncle tony and your mom diane salazar....the most amazing mother I've ever met....you will be missed mejia.....love you your cousin daniel f rivas
