Tonya Porter

Tanya and Bill were my best friends in Thailand They love my wife and I and expressed it all the time I miss them and pray for them every day. Jerry HOCHBERG.

Tonya was my college roommate .I was there when she met Bill. I am not surprised that she accomplished so many things in her l life. She was always a class act. My life is so enriched from having known Tonya.. Sue Shannon ( I don´t know your married name). Could you write me if you see this ? kma [email protected]

I really admired and enjoyed working with Tonya. She was always kind and supportive. I still remember how she could get the attention of hundreds of students using her Tibetan peace chimes. Love and Arohanui Jeanne Clayton Greene

Tonya was my roommate at Michigan State University. I loved her with all my heart. I remember when she met Bill. They loved each other right from the start. I am not surprised at how successful she was. She was a class act at whatever she did. She even was on the MSU homecoming court ad Miss Fee Hall. Bill always teased her about that. She wrote me a very long email after Bill died. I don´t know what her stated cause of death was but I am sure she died of a broken heart. Sue...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Tonya, you were one of the the kindest and best human being I ever came across. You bought so much love and love of studying to UNIS. The students love coming to your office when they loose their teeth(who likes to loose their teeth), when it´s their birthday and to try their luck at solving the number of varied items in the jar! You will be truly missed!

Tonya and I became friends during our years commuting to MSU for our doctoral studies, studying together for our stat class, and then attending Phi Kappa Phi meetings together. Our paths took different directions, but I always knew of the ways she touched others during her career path.
