Ma sweet Tonya,
You are in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers. I know I do not know the pain you and kids feel right now. But know Chris is and will always be with you sweetie. You two were and ARE soulmates, best friends and loving companions forever. You have your family and you friends to lean on for strength and understanding. And you have the boys, which Chris does live through them and will shine through their smiles everyday.
I Love you Sis

Tonya, God will never leave you or forsake you. I know this is a very difficult time for you. We have so many memories of Chris and was glad to have him as a part of our family. His personality shows within his children, such beautiful and intelligent kids. This legacy shall cary on and the bond that you and Chris had will last forever. May God continue to bless, protect and confort you day by day.
