ANTONIA M. HARDEN Beloved wife of Richard Harden, devoted mother of John Howard and of daughter-in-law Jeannette of Santa Rosa, treasured grandmother of Walter Howard, loved by her step daughter and son-in-law, Edward and Janice J Read Obituary
the many words of love and affection for his mom that John communicated to us over the years. Although we did not meet Antonia, we know from those conversations what a wonderful mother she was to John, and how dear to their hearts she was to Jeannette and Walter. We send our sincere condolences and love to the entire family.##imported-begin##Bill and Donna DeMayo##imported-end##

John- I will always remember your mom “Toni” cheerfully giving us rides before we were old enough to drive (Parkman Jr. High) in her powder blue Ford Falcon. I will make every effort to come to the service.##imported-begin##John D. Pizzicara##imported-end##
We first met “Toncka” at the Slovenian Hall in S.F. By the beautiful smile on her face, it was evident that she was happy to be with people who echoed her Slovenian roots.John, Jeannette and Walter would bring her to various functions at the Hall where she enjoyed good food, friendly faces and a good Slovenian polka.Pocivaj v miru, Toncka.##imported-begin##Dennis and Diane Brahney##imported-end##
I will always remember the wonderful summer vacation I spent with Aunt Toni, Aunt Rose and my Grandma Mary in California. Aunt Toni was always smiling and kept us entertained as she showed us all around her area. We had so much fun together sight seeing, playing cards, and talking. She was a truly wonderful woman with a large and caring heart. I feel blessed to have known her.##imported-begin##Betsy (Zupancic) Tipping##imported-end##
Write your memory here…Toni had an energetic smile and eyes that danced. Her enthusiasm for music and her heritage were contagious. The PUST will not be the same without her. We will miss her.##imported-begin##Phyllis Holmes & Bob Voris##imported-end##
the trip we took together to visit my mother, her sister, for the last time. We drove by way of Solon, Iowa where my son, Tom, lived to see the house he bought. It has a beautiful setting and an old fashioned swing on the porch which overlooks a resevoir. Aunt Toni quickly found her seat on that swing. While driving, we were listening to John’s CD’s and she could identify when he was playing or singing. It was a very pleasant trip for us both. Later, on that trip, we stayed with my brother, David and his wife, Sue, at their new home and had several visits with my mother. My mother passed on the day we left: I to drive home and Aunt Toni to fly back to California. My last visit with her was in January, 2006 and we both knew it would be the last. She is so very special to me.##imported-begin##Carole Z. Warren##imported-end##
