My sister and I knew Tonisha from the Dollar General Store. We loved her from the time we met here. She loved life and was one of a kind. Our hearts are broken for the family and her precious 3 sons who we had the opportunity to meet. A sweet soul taken to soon. RIP my sweet friend Tonisha. Love Mona and Rhonda
