I whispered a prayer of thankfulness for Tonis sharing her life with us. She loved to share the good news of Jesus with anyone that would listen. In latter years when she could no longer carry that Word she still lived it out by faith. Family may God strengthen you during this time of bereavement and in the years ahead may the memories that come to mind be a source of comfort. I have prayed for you today.
Sincerely
Rev Ira Cobbs
