Tonya,
We had some fun times growing up and I treasured your friendship. We had a deep connection that was apparent from how you were able to reach me when you became so ill and knew that your fight with cancer was not one that you would be able to win. I'm so glad that we were able to go to the beach together and I know that you are thrilled that I finally became a "legal" part of the family. I only wish you were still around. Sandy still misses you terribly. You two were always so close. Remember in school when people were always asking if ya'll were twins? =) Anyway, as we get older, I know we're closer to seeing you again and we're both just waiting for that time and day to come. Meanwhile, I know you are glad to be reunited with your mama and daddy although down here, we miss all of you.

Mom... I love you and miss you so much. I only hope that I am a great mother to my two girls like you were to me. You didn't give me all I wanted, you showed me I was better by just having all I needed. I miss you and love you monma!!
