    “You were one of the realest people anyone could ever know and your positive energy was infectious. Thank you for all of the laughs, good times, great memories, and for ALWAYS showing us how to have fun and live life to the fullest.”- says Stacey & Jonette
    Visits to Atlanta will not be the same without you. I will miss you calling me by my stage name Flo! – says Jonette
    Tonya was the glue that kept everyone together!
    Praying the precious memories of Tonya will give us all strength and comfort. When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us.

    The special memories of Tonya will always bring a smile.
    If only we could have you back for just a little while.
    The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause us pain,
    But you’re forever in our hearts UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!

    With Heartfelt Sympathy,
    The Mines (Pat, Rhonda, Gail, Jonette, Karen, Dougie, Sara) Manuel-Johnson (Carsell, Stacey, Caidyn, CJ) and Harris (Tom B) Family!
