my name is Jennifer Lee Marie Walking Eagle, my biological father was Robin Walking Eagle of brockton, Toni was his sister. Although I was only ever able to meet her or my father a few times when I was young, I’m glad she made the effort to try to see me whenever she got the chance. there’s not much I can remember about her now or the time we were able to spend together, but I have always been grateful to her for showing me that I wasn’t completely forgotten about in that side of the family and making the attempt to get to know me at all. I wish there could have been more time for us to spend together, I have always wished I could get to know the walking eagle side of my family a little bit more at least. I won’t be able to attend the services unfortunately and I am truly sorry for that, I just want her to know that I have never forgotten about her and have always been very grateful to have gotten to spend time with her, however short it had been. rest in peace aunty Toni ❤️
