  8. I didn’t think the last time I’d see her would be at our high school class reunion. Lived across Garren Creek from each other a lot of years. I remember when we used to walk down the road to the neighbors. (Too dangerous to do that now) Things change and this is sadly one of them. She’ll be missed by many but was a blessing to many.

    I am so sorry to hear about Tonya`s passing. She was always a friend to me. I enjoyed going on ladies retreats and singing in the choir at church with her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. I find comfort knowing I will see her again in heaven.

  24. Allison. So sorry to hear about your mom. I smile everytime I think of her at the FES basketball games. She was so proud of you. And you could tell what a good person she was just by the smile in her laugh. I will never forget the time at the Christmas Parade where she made the cheerleaders polka dot sweats to cheer in. I’m so sorry.

  26. I was in shock when Lyle told me about Tonya’. I remember the vacations, and Christmas, going out to eat every Friday night. I’ll live in those memories till I make it home to walk those streets of gold with her. I love you guys so much.
