In the green meadow amongst the wild flowers
Under the tall tall trees,,
Bloomed a flower with such beauty ..no one has ever seen..
A carousel of swilling colors danced upon the stem
colors so bright
they illuminated the darkest of night .
People came from far and near to witness Gods sent beauty
and found an angel with wings in flight…
The time has come to say good-bye
Tears and sadness filled the air as the carousel of colors laid dimly lit.
We will never forget you Latoya
Your carousel of colors will burn in our hearts forever..
TC,,
LIVE LIFE OUT LOUD

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Latoya. I’ve known her since high school and although we didn’t talk everyday, we maintained a wonderful friendship. She was an amazing person with the biggest heart. She always had a smile on her face even through her bouts of illness. She will be truly missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I first met Latoya over 14 yrs ago. I was living with my bf at that time in thompson. She was always smiling. I saw her at walmart that night & we said hello to each other. I wish we would have spoken more that night. I am so sorry to her husband & family for their sudden loss. May she fly with the beautiful Angels & rest in peace
