To Sandra, Fatima and the Anderson Family. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. I did not get a chance to meet Tonda, but I am acquainted with many of you. When the people we love and care about hurt, so do we. I offer my condolences to you and your family. I feel in my spirit that it is well with Tonda. God promises that when His children leave this place, there is no more pain, no more suffering, no more sorrow and no more tears. We go to a place where the love of God dwells. May you be comforted knowing that you are surrounded with the love and support of family and friends. May the sweet, sweet love of JESUS keep you in this hour. He stands at the door and knock. Let Him in and be assured of your place with the Lord in eternity. I love you all. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

What can I say! So much.....I thank God for allowing us the opportunity to walk into each others lives in 1995 because it opened the door for many great friendships and without you I may not have ever met your dear sweet sister! You had me to get on your nerves at work when she couldn't but who ever would have thought that years later the girl you loved to talk about would end up being my coworker and one of my greatest friends! You fought a long fight but only God knew best and with that I express my deepest condolences to Ms. Sandra Ann, Fatima, Monye, Brianna and TJ! Before I go I have one last thing...."You get on my nerves girl" yes I remember....its what i had to hear you tell me daily but you always said it with a smile and I will cherish those words forever. Love you bunches Tonda and now may you forever rest peacefully.
