“Toni was my best friend and god-mother to my daughter. She was snatched away from the people who really loved her. She left with a dream to become a nurse and received a nightmare in hell in return. She was loved, she was wanted, she is missed by those who loved her. ” - Glenda Randolph

“Well said Glenda you are absolutely correct. My big sister was all of those things and more to us. She was truly my role model, and I was honored to be her little sister. My grandmother raised us well. I truly miss my sister, this letter comes on the hills of losing my last bio sister last week. My sisters Toni and Paris are gone leaving me to continue holding the torch; my big sister and little sister gone😭😭😭 but I still have and love you big sister Glenda. Sincerely, Donetta.... ” - Donetta James
