Tonya you will be missed by so many. You loved life and people of all walks of life. You always preached love and never judged a person. You were a true Christian and there is no doubt where you are today. I will miss our conversation. Love you, until we meet again.

My sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time. May you all seek God for comfort, peace, strength and support (2 Cor 1:3).
When she lived in Ventura CA in 1985, I had met her through a family member which was a national guard recruiter. We dated for a short while then she moved back to TX. She was the one that got away. See you in Heaven Tonya.
