Tonie was my best friend since 3rd grade at Pinedale Elementary School.

On my first day of school, I was very upset and crying. Guess what? Tonie walked over to me, took my hand, and said everything will be ok I’m going to be your friend. That’s the kind of person she was. Always giving, always loving, took care of you if you were afraid, scared or felt left out in school.

Tonies was more than a friend to me, she was like a sister. She was always there for me to offer advice, pray for me or sing me a song on the phone.

Tonie you may be gone but your memory will live on forever.

I will cherish every moment we shared together and the memories I have of you. They will last forever.

My sincerest condolences for your loss. Loosing a loved one is never easy. During such a difficult time it may be hard to find comfort but I would like to share with you a beautiful promise that God makes to mankind. Acts 24:15 tells us there is a beautiful hope which men can look forward to, it says “there is going to be a resurrection.” May this promise that will soon be fulfilled give you comfort and endurance till the day you can see Antonia again.
