I just ran into Tonia a few months ago. You couldn't mistake the same friendly smile and face that I remember from our St. A's days. She'll be missed. God's blessings on her whole family.

Any loss is a great loss when it is someone we love so dearly. We take things day by day remembering all the special moments we have shared with her. . . and it is in those memories that we find the peace and comfort to go on. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her but she will never be forgotton. . .for no one is truly gone if we carry them in our hearts. If we think about. . . we are all only a heart beat away.



All my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Tonia.
