Brenda and family,
I realize it has been years since I have seen Tonya, but I knew that smile the moment I saw it. She has had the same beautiful smile since she was a little girl. Ironic since that was the last time I saw her. I have pictures of her and Chad out back playing on the swingset at mom's house. I wish I had some magical words to ease your pain. Instead, I will hold you and the family close in my heart and prayers. May God bless you all and bring you peace and comfort and may you never forget the love Tonya brought to your life. She will remain in your hearts forever.
