Dear Toni,
I am so sorry your father passed. Much sympathy to you and your family. I don't know if you know this, but when we went to view my father's body the day before the funeral,Tahj was about 5 or 6 before he went into the church he started to cry really LOUD! It kind of broke the tension for me. I hope someone crys for you.God Bless, you and your family.##imported-begin##Judith Jackson##imported-end##
It has taken me a minute to find the right words, but the only words that come to mind is that he will be missed. Before you were born I remember attending many games of the Globtrotters and having the honor of doing the splits during half time. I remember him teaching me how to spin the ball and shoot a hoop or two. I remember polish sausage and corn(that is another story.) The one thing I will never forgot was his smile. My prayers go to you and the kids and all of the fans around the world. Oh yeah... Cassius Clay should be added to list also.##imported-begin##Stephanie##imported-end##
My Dearest Toni,
Please accept my deepest sympathy at the passing of your beloved father. Please know that I'm thinking of you and Jessica and Evan and extend my best love. What an amazing life your father led. And the best part is that he got to meet and share with you the love of his grandchildren. You are a devoted daughter, above and beyond, and a role model for me as I endeavor to emulate your sincere and profound love and caring for your dear departed father. With much love and sympathy, Yoko##imported-begin##Yoko Yanari##imported-end##
Dearest Toni and Family,
What an accomplished life Chico lead and how very blessed you are to

Toni,
I can't begin to express my condolences to you, Evan and Jessica. There are only a few bonds that everyone experiences on some level throughout life, and family is probably the most prevalent. It goes without saying that losing a father, and grandfather, is difficult to bare, but thankfully we have family to help get through hard times. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything I can do during this time.
With Love,
-Aaron##imported-begin##Aaron Dean##imported-end##
We are very very sorry to hear about your dad Toni... Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I remembered you talked about your dad with such "love", so I am sure he must lived a very full and happy life surrounded with love!!##imported-begin##The Wijayas - Pantung, Kathy, Tessa, Miranda, Miles##imported-end##
So sorry for your loss Auntie. He lived a very full life, and had he not move to California me and my children wouldn't be who we are today and for that I'm grateful. Via con Dios!##imported-begin##Tanya, Tahj & Kobe##imported-end##
Sorry for your lost. You and family have my deepest sympathies. Death is something that is never easy when we lose a loved one. He is in good hands and resting peacefully. Recovery from this takes time. Grieve some and then slowly get back into the swing of things. And enjoy your life as it is only loaned to.
My condolences
