1 Thessalonians 4: 13, 14
Moreover, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant* about those who are sleeping in death,+ so that you may not sorrow as the rest do who have no hope.+ 14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again,+ so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.+
I thank God for putting you in my life’s path. You were a ray of sunshine that cascaded through our office everyday.
Your commitment to your faith comforts me today as I know where you are and who you are with.

A LIMB (Tonya) has fallen from many family trees that says Grieve not for me, Remember the best times (the annual Williams holiday gatherings, the Boom Boom room, Karaoke nights at the Elks, the White parties, the fallen angel cookout) the good life I lived while I was STRONG.
“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!
