I will never forget the last weeks of your life. You couldnt get out of bed and stayed at mawmaw and pawapaws for weeks. I would come see you every week as much as I could. I remember laying in the bed with you as we both slept. I remember watching that 70s show with you which you loved and still with all the pain you were going through you laughed at. I also remember when you stayed in the hospital and I stayed the night with you. You said "poor darling its was hard for her to sleep" because the nurses had to come in and out a lot but honestly I didnt mind at all It was worth staying there by your side with you. Most of all I will never forget the day before everything got horrible, the day that was your last to be able to talk to us. The way you were acting you knew it was your last you were so happy to see me in the room and Ill never forget the smiles you gave me like never before. The way you were acting you knew. You told me "your always hungry when you here" and laughed. Words cant describe but that day I will never forget how happy you were to see me it was like you just knew and were saying your goodbyes. I love you mom you will always live on with me.
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child

Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together

I still can't belive your gone I never thought it would happen like this and especailly this soon. I regret so much not taking every opportunity to show how much I loved you. Ill never forget all the fun we had together. When I was little and you use to play around with me and give me piggy backs, when you use to make candy apples and chocolate covered strawberries for me and we did scrap books together, every fun ride to school with you when we would sing and dance to music, and how we would always watch scarry movies together that was your thing scarry movies. Its those little things I will always cherrish. Ill also never forget everything you did for me. Everytime I think of you I think of you smiling and laughing and being funny and happy like you always were. Mom, you went through so much pain that no one ever deserves. Im really sorry for all the pain you had to go through you don’t know how bad I wish I could have just taken all your pain away and made you all better. I dont know anybody who could have hid that pain and stayed strong like you did. Your such a strong women and your definitly a saint in my eyes. I know you will always be with me, watching over me, in my dreams, and protecting me. I love you so much no matter how much time passes it will always feel like just yesterday you were here with me. I love you moma!!
I will never forget your smile and laugh

We are so sorry to hear about Tonya's passing. She was my mother's home health nurse and a very good one, too. Tonya was comforting and nursing my mom when she needed comforting, herself. Dad would make his famous apple cake to send home for Tonya and her daughter. She will be greatly missed.

I met Tonya many, many years ago in junior high. I was new and she made me feel welcome. She always had me laughing and just enjoyed being in her presence. I think of her often even though we lost touch on and off thru the yrs. Lots of very fond memories! God bless her soul and grant peace to her loved ones.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Dearest Tonya, Fate placed us together in many classes through junior and senior high school just due to alphabetical order, but that doesn't mean you automatically get along with someone. I am proud to say that knowing you was the exception. I didn't know when we first met how truly lucky I was to be near someone who deserved to be called 'one of a kind' in the best way possible. I will never forget, through the years, all the smiles and laughter we were lucky enough to share. You held the distinction of being the first date I ever had, but more importantly, you had the all-important title of "friend forever." Though I am filled with tears at the moment, I will always picture you smiling. I know you are now in a place where you will be smiling forever. I will never forget you and I WILL see you again someday. Love always to you.... My sincerest condolences to the Capello Family.
