A beautiful lady "Tonya Stewart Hite" that I never got to meet in person but through how she lived her life and connected with others I fill like I have been knowing her forever. To me it's the impact that Tonya had when she came in contact with others and how her Amazing and Incredible sister Sophie shared many beautiful stories about her life that kept me interested in wanting to know more about, Tonya. What a courageous young woman in her fight to live. Tonya will always be remembered in the minds and hearts of all she knew and those she never meet. Sophie I hope you are ready for your blessings for a job well done for going above and beyond to take care of your sister. Now Tonya can rest with knowing that she was loved and well taken care of while on earth and still is. She's with God now and can spread her wings. Tonya will truly be missed. Thank you Jesus for doing what you do.....You are the only One that we can lean and depend on. Rest In Peace "Tonya " until we meet.

You've been gone for five months, and I miss you just as much as the day you left. The pain of missing you is unbearable. I miss you being here, talking to you, and caring for you. I know you are with God, you are happy, and healthy, but I miss you every day. You will always be in my heart, and my thoughts. Love always

Sophie, I have NEVER known of a more devoted sibling than you. I will always treasure the dedication you showed to your sister. No one could have done more, cared more, loved more or advocated more than you did for your sister. May she rest in peace and may you rest in knowing that you made Tonya's life matter.
With sincere sympathy and respect.

Sophie,
I was so very sorry to hear about Tonya's passing. You have spent the majority of your life caring for her & I know you must be lost without her. But take comfort in knowing she is finally at rest wrapped tightly in her savior's arms. There is no better place any of us could wish for her. So, I know you must grieve, but don't dwell on it too long. Tonya would much rather you remember her with smiles and laughter. That is the way she will always picture you.
Take care & know I am here if you ever need to talk.
Sincerely,
Pam
