Time passes, but the memories shall forever remain. The laughs, the tears, the phone calls, were what made us friends.  I know you are resting safely in His arms, for he only keeps the very best.  Gone too soon, but never to be forgotten.

My GIRL!!!
Toni, these words explain my feelings to the "T"!
How do I say goodbye, to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh, outweigh the bad.
I'm feeling real selfish right now because I feel God took u too soon.
Although I know he knew best. I want to hear ur laughter and u calling me Pen-Pen once more.
We had some real moments my friend. Like the times (more than once) I've had to get between u & ppl because they didn't know how real u were. But u let them know they were gonna learn 2day!!! Lol
I will never..... EVER...... forget u my friend!!! Rest in Eternal Peace.
My Angel. Until we unite again. Love ya! ❤️
To Donisha, Donovan & the Crooks Family. I pray God gives u all strength during this most difficult time.

To my beloved cousin Toni I can't believe that you have left us to go home but I know that you are in a better place now without anymore suffering.I will cherish the good times with you growing up with so much laughter and fun you brought to our family. Everytime I saw you you asked for you asked about your Aunt Nanline always making sure she was good also making sure there was no-one starting no trouble cause you always said "I got you back cuz and you know how to reach me"! And we never parted with a big hug and kiss and "I Love you and see you soon"! Rest in Heaven you are home now sweet angel.

Dear Mommy,
You have always been the most important person in my life. You taught me many life lessons, that I will never forget. You taught me to be a hard worker, and to be independent. Because of everything you taught me, I am the woman I am today. Never in a million years did I think you would leave me this soon. If I would have known , I would have hugged you a little tighter, made you laugh a little harder, and talked to you a little longer. I know one thing, I loved you as hard as I could, and always will. You always loved me unconditionally, and for that I thank you and love you forever. May your beautiful soul rest peacefully ♥.
