Tonya was like a big sister to me. Although it's been years since we've all hung out, every time I saw Tonya, she always showed me so much love. The last time I saw her, we talked for what seems like forever. She was always so fun to be around and kept the laughs coming. Tonya, you will definitely be missed. Steph, Mama Edna, and the rest of the family, prayers and condolences to you. Love y'all!
