Dear Family: I just received the news of Tovoia's passing. She was not only my realtor agent but a great giving friend, a strong woman that was always willing to listen thru her own life. God sent her my way after looking and looking for the right agent for me. She will truly be missed. My daughter Sierra Jackson knows her girls. Remember she is always in your hearts. May God continue to bless you all!! I can hear that message she always had on her cell phone.

Wish I could speak to her one more time....
