I'm thankful for the time I've known Tonya. What I admired the most about her was that she was "real". She was very down-to-earth and called things the way they really were. That's one of the special qualities it takes to be a "friend." She'll be missed greatly and my prayers are with her family. Much Love....

To My Aunt,



I will miss everything about you. Through our ups and downs, you were still a beautiful, fun and loving woman. I'll miss your laughter and our long gossip sessions. Love you Tonya and I will see you again.
