Tonya was one of the sweetest, kindest souls I´ve met. I consider myself lucky to have known her. We met 6 years ago in a work training and her strength and compassion left a lasting impression on me. She loved Tennessee and above all else, she LOVED her boys. Rest in peace sweet Tonya. You will be so missed.
