God Bless you, JYD was one of my favorite wrestlers and I'm sure he's happy to be reunited with his loving daughter. Both of you are gone too soon but made a big impact on others in a short amount of time - Job well done

I was watching a YouTube documentary on her dad and saw in the comment section that she passed. I'm heartbroken. She was young, full of life, smart, and sweet with a great smile when she accepted her dad's induction into the Hall Of Fame. I give my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Rest in peace LaToya.

I am very shocked to hear of Latoya Ritters ' passing. She was too young to be gone. I remember watching the wwe hall of fame 2004 and seeing her except the award for her dad,Sylvester ritter (jyd). Now the both of them are in heaven together, father and daughter forever. Rest in peace, Latoya Ritter, daughter of legendary wrestler, Sylvester ritter.

My heart hurts, as I am just learning of Latoya's death. We truly lost an exceptional human being. She was so exceptional with children until I was trying to reconnect with her to ask her to be my daughter's godmother. She told me that I was her mentor but I learned so much from her. She made me proud everytime she cleared a hurdle or made an accomplishment. Such a gifted young woman who we lost way too soon. My daughter may never meet you but she will know of you! Thank you for all the laughs especially when I was down. I didn't get a chance to tell you while you were here Toya but I love you and I know that you are at peace with your dad. You are missed tremendously!

My sincere sympathy for the lost of your dear loved one,Latoya Ritter. At times of sorrow we may ask,"will I ever see or embrace my loved one again?" Jesus answers at John11:11-44 saying, Lazarus come on out! And he did!

O for a day to walk again slow through the forest deep O for the time to talk again before I go to sleep O for the warmth of summer sun the chill of winters eve and O for the chance to sing my song once more before I leave O for secent of autumn are brisk clean and cold O for the chance to travel where the seas are blue and bold O for the prayer I never prayed O for the kiss I never kissed and O for the chance to sing my song once more while yet I am missed cry of bird and wail of wind unspoken sin unsinned a night to dance a hill to climb the chance to sing while there is time O for the taste of meat and ale to linger on my tongue O for the sight of hill and dale and faces that are young O for the hand of one I love the time to bloom and grow and O for the chance to sing my song once more before I go
May the peace of God be with all of you now and forever.

I went to high school with Latoya and she had such a magnetic personality. I didn't get the pleasure of keeping in contact with her since then but do wish her family and friends peace and comfort during their loss.

I'm sorry to hear of the lost of Toya. I know Toya from college at UNC Charlotte we lived on the same floor (llth) of Scott Hall. As I look at her picture, it was the same smile that she always wore. I pray that God will continue to comfort and strengthen your family and friends. Always remember the times that you shared with her, as I will.

I hope her family and friends and the young ones she help find comfort in the Bible 2Cor: 2, 3,
