My condolences to the Powers family from the Harwell family. We all Loved Toni.
Rest in peace, my dear friend you take good care of Annie. Keep an eye on all the others. Our deepest condolences.
We were blessed to have Toni and Dan as friends, and our shared love for English Bulldogs. Thanks to Dan and Toni we were once able to raise a beautiful litter of Bulldog puppies, and over the years welcomed Rosie, Sophie, Clancy, and Elwood into our family. Toni was a kind, giving, and caring friend. Our sincere condolences to the family.
My heartfelt condolences to Toni. We were blessed to receive our first Bully, Madeline Rose, from Toni and Dan, and that special day will always remain in our memories. The bullies who have crossed the rainbow bridge will surely greet her with wags of their curly tails and slobbery snorts of affection.
Mary was one of the nicest ladies I have ever met in my life. Sincere condolences to coach Powers.
