Tonya Crowell was and will continue to be a
Blessing in mine and my husbands life… It would take a book to describe the awesome attributes of our dear sister in Christ!
Tonya lit up the atmosphere in a room with her Joy, Love, Compassion & Care for others wherever she was… Tonya was truly an ambassador for Christ!

We miss her dearly but we know as believers in Christ that we will see her again !

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not
precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with
these words.”
Maranantha & We Love You Tonya,
