I first met Toure at Tmobile. She was the sweetest soul in a young lady's body. Although I was older, she and I became friends. I think of you often as time goes by. We only had a season of friendship but my memory of you will last a lifetime.

I didn't know Toure personally but wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to those
who knew and loved her. I was the first to her after the
accident and I just want the
family to know that I think of
them daily and my heart breaks for them. From the
beautiful comments shared
about Toure, she was an
exceptional young lady who I
wish I could have known under different circumstances.

The sudden lost of a loved one seems more then we can bear. Toure was a beautiful special person. Ponder not on the fact that God called her home all too soon. But reflect on the life that she lived. May the peace of God comfort you always. Wells Fargo Co-worker.

God sent an angel to the earth
I have known Toure for many years. I am sadden to hear of the lost. I, being a parent myself I can only imagine the pain that her parents and love ones feel. God sent an angel to the earth,The sweetest angel too.
She knew she did not have much time upon this earth to stay,so she did not waste a second;she got started right away.God sent her here to touch the hearts of those he could not reach...She taught them courage, strength and faith,because Angels came to teach.
Toure You will be missed

I don't know where to start.... Toure was a freshman when I was a senior at RCHS and she immediately became my "lil sista". She was so smart, bright and funny, and she helped to make my days better. I will never forget her or those days, and I look forward to seeing her again. Peace and blessings to her family and friends. She was a special young lady, and loved by many. You all are in my prayers. Rest in peace Toure... Love always,

If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We'd express all our unspoken love;
We'd have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We'd say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You'd know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
