    Tonia was a friend to me when I first moved to Front Royal. She was always so full of love for her grandkids My heart aches for Tonia’s family.

      To all the family of Tiny,
      So sad to hear of Tiny’s passing. Our deepest sympathy goes to all of you. I will always remember when Brenda and kids came down to NC. We played and had a good time so many years ago. I know she will be missed by all. Prayers for you all.
      Gail and Valerie
