Was a very good example of a Christian for going out of her way to prepare meals for other people.

Deepest condolences to the Nelson family. The only thing bigger than Toya's smile was her heart. Toya was an amazing person. I remember her fondly! Gone too soon.

I met Toya and her family when I was a little girl living next door to them with my family, we all became friends and basically grew up together.

I first met Toya when we worked together at DFAS for over 20 yrs together. She was a sweet soul,always had a smile on her face and always took time to talk together. We both became grandma's for the 1st time around the same time and when she talked of her her Abby she was such a proud nana! No more pain or suffering,you earned your wings my friend.RIP till we meet again.
