Rest in peace Cousin LaTonya. We all love you and know there is a special angel watching over this land until we meet again! Ann, Raymond, Alisha and Stanley

Condolences to the Keith and the family. LaTonya was a childhood friend, and our families grew up in the same neighborhood and she was my classmate. Very smart with a beautiful smile. You will be missed. Take your rest my friend❤️

She will be deeply missed! I remember when she told me she why she collected frogs. She said it stood for, "Fully Rely On God."

She was my momma, my "Momma Toni." She's been a rock since I was 11; I'm almost 46. I just knew she would help me when my mother would someday leave this world, but we plan, and the Lord laughs. I love her. I didn't know Christ because of her, but I learned what it meant to have a real relationship with Christ through her. Losing Toni was the last thing I expected, but I know the Lord is never wrong. I have never cried tears of joy during the grieving process, but through her exit from this reality, I now know what that feels like because I KNOW WHERE SHE IS! I've heard that when we go home, we ALL have our guardian angel with us to guide us home, BUT SOMETIMES, we can be SO CLOSE TO CHRIST that he will give our angel a "day off" and take us ourselves. How happy she must have been when she saw Christ's face. I thought I'd be scared facing this world without her, but I've been reassured that I'm more blessed than ever because Christ is getting first-hand news of our work straight from her. It's been scary, losing custody of my sons, mom getting more frail, getting older, and Toni's death just reassured me that "I'm going to be okay." I can make it without her because I have a relationship with Christ, and not only will I be okay here, but I will also see her again. Next time, it will be in glory, standing hand in hand with my son, Nathaniel. So, let's not mourn for her dear family. Let's REJOICE because our sister is at home making the way for us all. Dear Father, I pray you send the Holy Spirit to comfort Toni's family and friends now. Father, we hurt because we no longer have what was flesh now here with us, but we can be thankful in knowing that not only is Toni with you now, but that hundreds, if not thousands, of your children, will one day be at home with you because of her. While we have lost a light on this Earth, may it be rekindled in the light she created in us all. She expects to see us all again, and I do not plan to disappoint her. May we see each other again soon. Your Daughter, Carrie Ann Slick Kidd

Ms.Wooten was my sons 1st grade teacher she was a great teacher and caring she will be missed by all her students i remember her teaching them the candy man song from charlie and the chocolate factory❤🌹

My beautiful cousin, this is the hardest pill I have to swallow, not only was we cousin, but we were sister. We were always in each other corner no matter what the problem was, and we alway made sure we told each " I love you and I am your favorite cousin." Rest easy Tony, no more pain or suffering. I will always love you and forever be your favorite cousin

To my dear friend Keith, my heartfelt condolences are extended to you and your family . To those of us that had the opportunity to know Tonya knew love, she always displayed such joy in life and that beautiful smile could brighten the cloudiest day. Love & prayers , Rhonda and family

Praying for you in your time of need. There will be things that trigger tears and things that bring laughter.. things that you never expected... but they'll gently remind you of the wonderful details that made life with LaTonya so precious. May God grant you peace and comfort at this time.

My sweet niece. My heart is broken. You were such a sweet person and you will be missed. You always had a beautiful smile. I am glad I talked to you before you passed away. I had a chance to tell you I love you for the last time. Rest in peace until God brings you back to life. John 5:28,29.
