We just learned of Toni's death. We are in shock because we talked to Toni in June after Mojo died. We talked about possibly finding another Basenji after having had the wonderful experience of two Wakan Basenjis (Jojo and Mojo) over many years. What a lovely person you were; patient, smart, and devoted to who/what you cared about. You gave the world a lasting legacy through your dogs: As we remember your saying, "I breed for health and temperament; everything else follows." Our heartfelt compassion is being sent to all who loved you.

I can't believe you are gone.... You taught me many things over the years and we had a lot of laughs. Your mentorship in dog show handling and "everything basenji" was appreciated. More people miss you than you ever imagined. My thoughts are with you, Clark, Jacob, Jayce, Crystal and Sammy.

Toni I can not beleive you are gone. You were a very special friend the only type of friend that you are lucky to get once in a life time. I will miss you greatly, but you will always be with me in my heart. My hugs and prayers go out to Clark, Jacob and Jayce (Your mom was very proud of both of you boys), Crystal and little Sammy (she was just tickled pink about little Sammy). She will be greatly missed by more people then she realized. She touched a lot of people while she was with us.

My heart goes out to you, Clark, the boys, Jayce and Jacob, Crystal and little Sammy. I think you know how close Toni and I were and I just can't believe I won't be able to telephone her when I need her experience. She was special, that's for sure. Words won't express what we will all miss.

I am sorry for your loss. I interacted with Toni in Basenji groups and was always struck with her intelligence and innate kindness. Her zeal in producing the beautiful The Basenji magazine will never be forgotten. Yodels for you, Toni.
