As Nancy Widman Prostko notified us:
It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that our classmate and friend Toni Thompson Dudley passed away, Thursday, June 26th. Toni's husband, three daughters, and sister were at her side.
All arrangements are being held privately with her family.
Toni was my best friend. I remember when I first met Toni on the school bus and asked to her to come see the puppies that my dog had just given birth to. We were inseparable from that day. Toni walked with Ed Courtney in our wedding. Toni was a sister to me.
You all know how fortunate we have been to have such great friends over the years, the kind of friends that you don't have to see everyday and still are able to call them anytime and laugh for hours as Toni and I did regularly.
I love her and will miss her terribly.

Bruces wife informed us of his passing on 11/9/14 -
Greetings from Nebraska!
I am the wife of one of your classmates and wanted to send you an update. Bruce Glover passed away August 25th, 2012. I attended your 10 year and 20 year reunions with him, lots of fun. On September 12, 2004 Bruce suffered a profound brain injury. We only made one more trip to Pennsylvania after that.
Maybe you already had record of his passing. You can certainly leave this email address in your contacts. I don't like to erase all the records of his life.
Have a great reunion!
