All I can say right now is Thank you Tonya. We all needed this right now.
I love you, but for this I really love you,
Sharon:)
p.s. Yes, Susan…that was for you:)
Tonya,
The picture of your parents is gorgeous! Your Mom is BEAUTIFUL inside and out! She has been in our thoughts and prayers as she faces this trial in her, life head on. She is so courageous and an example of strength to everyone around her! I have so many fond memories of playing at your house and your Mom pretending the van was an airplane as she drove me home! The good ol’ days! Thanks for sharing and reminding us what’s important in life.
Your parents look great! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos. I love the photo of Adam, so cute!
Great images Tonya. Are these all family members? LOVE the drool sneaking out of Adam’s mouth! So sweet!! And that cornfield? AMAZING!!
Love them all.
Especially Adams drooling cuteness!
The picture of your Mom and Dad is just amazingly beautiful!!! It evokes so much love and emotion!!!
Tonya, you add so much enjoyment for so many. What a special photograph. It is so precious and sweet. It speaks of a lifetime of love. I remember your mom as the sweet little blond girl cousin that used to come up here and visit us. Now, she is a mother, a grandmother and life goes on. I can see from being of facebook what a great job she and your dad have done with rearing you children. All of you are awesome! What a loving caring group!
It was several special cousins that came to see us. I was older an thought they were wonderful LITTLE kids, Susan, Sharon and Lori, Gary then Bob. Your mom was especially shy. Precious, soft spoken. All the girls were as pretty as pictures. Susan and Sharon were the little Swedish blonds. Lori, the dark beauty with such loving caring ways. She is so artistic! I miss her. I tried calling her the other day. She wasn’t home. I left a message, but, she didn’t call back. Lori girl, WHERE ARE YOU?
I love your grandpa and grandma. Joe was my uncle/brother. I remember wanting to be around him when he was a teenager. He didn’t want a snotty nosed little kid around when he was playing ball with his friends. (He never said that.) But, I wanted to go with him everywhere. I adored him! I used to stand on my tricycle and watching him play ball with Eddie and Bill. Once I fell and got injured! It was worth it. I got to see Joe play ball! But I was very upset about being upended on a fireman’s lap as he examined my wounded bottom! Funny the things you remember about our growing up!
I am praying for you Susan!
Love, Joy Lee

Hi Tonya! Just checking in with you. Can’t wait to see the rest. Sounds like your family is going thru some trying times. You are in my thoughts. Keep up the beautiful work and attitude. You are a shining star! Luv, Tonya from Norcal
I adore the photograph of your parents and your little boy =) And also, is the woman in the homegrown couple your sister? She’s beautiful!
Tonya,
I am completely speechless; your post was absolutely beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes and my heart is just aching for your family. Those pictures of your parents are AMAZING, I can see that they are truly in love with each other and will be there for each other at this extremely difficult time. I will keep your Mom in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
