Hi Mr. Toledo, It's me Angelica Arroyo, one of the scholarship recipients. I am very greatful for the scholarship I received thanks to your great efforts. The scholarship is going to help me greatly when I begin college in the fall at Cal Poly Pomona. These many contributions truly help everyone and I truly admire you. Someday I hope I have the opportunity to create such organizations like the one you created on behalf of your father. I will keep in contact with you and keep you updated on my progress in college. Sincerely, Angelica Arroyo

I thought of the loss of my mother to cancer as I read this site and I could feel the sentimental strings of my heart being tugged on when you talked about your Mom and her brush with cancer. I am playing in the upcoming Antonio Toledo Memorial Golf Tournament for the 1st time. Since visiting this site and reading about Mr. Toledo, this Tournament will mean much more to me than just a good day out on the course. I will be remembering my Mom and Dad along with the thoughts you shared in your letter about your Dad and the Love you still have for Him. As I read it, the thing that came to my mind was the simple epitaph left on my folks grave stones to try and explain the full life of wonderful parents. They say....She Loved....He Gave. May God enrich your endeavors... Don Miller

Hi my name is Jane Casey.I just lost my brother in feb of cancer.His wife passed away 5 yrs ago of cancer. We are putting on a golf tournament to raise money for cancer too. Your website is very good. I made one for us. I am self taught so it's nothing fancy, but i think it will get the job done. I love the way you have all the memorials and survivors on your site. We can and will make a difference.We have sent out 500 donation forms this past week and are waiting to see what happens, so far so good. We only knew 10 days before my brother passed away that he even had cancer. The night he passed I decided then and there to do something. So for only having 2 months into this, we have accomplished quite a bit. By Sept. I hope to have our wesite filled with donors and sponsors. Good luck on your event again this year. God bless you for doing this.

Joe Toledo and Luso Golf Committee, I would like to share with you my congratulations on a wonderful evening Saturday, June 26th. Even though I did not participate during the day in the tournament, the dinner and entertainment were extremely enjoyable. But the most memorable part of the evening was the guest speaker. Having recently lost my grandfather to lung cancer, and having an aunt diagnosed with breast cancer, the evening was a chance for me to count my blessings and to hope for a cure to the aweful disease. The City of Hope guest speaker, as well as your mother, are wonderful examples of what our small contributions and prayers do for the discovery of new treatments, or possibly a cure. I hope to be part of the wonderful experience once again next year, and maybe even try golfing. Thank you once again for a wonderful evening. Sandra Alamo Chino, CA

I received the bone marrow transplant last year from my older sister and I am grateful till this day to be alive and well. It will be a year in April that I had the transplant. I can understand everything that you and your family has gone through with your father. Because my family hit those hard times too. What helped me get through this is the strength, love, and faith that my family and friends gave me and my will to survive and help those who are in the same situation as my family and I are. I thank you so gratefully to have contacted me about your father and your family. He must be very proud of you. I will send this address to all my friends and family here and in Portugal.

Dear Sir, I assume you found my name on the list of people traveling to the Expo in Portugal last year. I was happy to read your mail and see the web site of your father's memorial. I did go to Portugal, spent 12 days there, only 2 days at the Expo and the rest of the time in the north near Porto with my nephew and his family. He is German but married a Portuguese lady who enjoys visiting her family in Porto often. I loved the people of Portugal. I am a violinist and music teacher so the music of Portugal was of interest to me. The fado music is very beautiful, but somewhat sad like the american blues. Listening to your father's music gave me a happier feeling, more like celebrating the good things of life. He must have been a delightful person. We lost my husband to that terrible disease of cancer in 1985. Best wishes with your work to raise funds to make this world a happier place.

What a great tribute to your Father! I can see he was a great noble man of stature, well liked and respected in his community. It was a pleasure having the opportunity in viewing your website, seeing your family and understanding your determination in uplifting ordinary kids into extraordinary students in college including your quest in finding a cure for the dreadful disease of Cancer. As for myself I'm a Luso-South African, 26, moving permanently soon to Vancouver, Canada. Joe you're a shining example for the Portuguese community around the world. People that say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it. All the best with your quest in improving the quality of life of others, and following in your Father's footsteps. Take care Augusto

I was very impressed going through the website and seeing everything that you put together. Even if I was stranger to your family, I know that this would still be impressive to me. Of course my favorite part of this website, I'm sure to many others, is the Antonio's Music section. That is the exact image that I have of your father. I heard that you can hear his music on this website, which I thought was very cool, but until I finally listened to it... well I can say I was moved. Moved and touch by the feeling of his sound through music. It makes sense in my head better than in my written thoughts, but for probably some fifteen years every wednesday of my life I heard fingers slightly dancing and singing a twelve string with the simple lyrics of his smile. If I knew then what I know and can appreciate now, I would not dance with my feet to the sounds of his passion, but with my heart and soul. I would close my eyes and absorb every note that swayed out and like the swells of the oceans creating a wave, only open my eyes when that wave comes to an end. Mr. Toledo, as I knew him, was quite remarkable. I know that now, not just because I learned a greater appreciation of music, no . Simply because I remember his only lyric to his music....his smile!!............Thanks Mr. Toledo! We'll see you on the golf course Joe!
