My fondness memories was when I came to visit you. I had the best time. You were such a carrying soul to me & welcome me with a pure . I wasn't from Dayton, Ohio but knowing you Toyia made the time there enjoyable. You showed up for me when I had to come back to Dayton, Ohio to get my divorce from my ex & I told you how much that meant to me for doing. We remained friends even after I moved back to Cleveland, Ohio. We called eachother every so often and even talked about going on a trip or two, to know of your passing I'm devastated but I know your in a better place looking down on your loved ones. You've gained a real one up there lord. My thoughts & prayers are for your entire family. I'm going to truly miss you my dear friend.
