Regardless of time apart, I loved you. We were married in 1994, and I think of you often and even though years have past, I cannot forget the time we shared together. It was heart breaking to hear of your passing and it took some time for me to heal. I thought of your family and friends because I knew how much they loved you. Saying goodbye is never easy, but God is my comforter and he has saw me through. Love always, Tonia

After time passing we all learned that God, call you home to a much better place to rest your soul.We all know now that you are resting in peace with your loving mother and father.You will always be in our hearts and thought no matter what. We all miss you so very much.

Much love from your great nephews who will miss you also.
