Tonquise: I have seen your journey way before marriage, kids, and success. I used to enjoy our talks about wanting to be successful, traveling the world, and making a difference. You made it happen as God put you on earth to serve a purpose. Down to your very last "but content and peaceful fight" like no one was watching... "I do believe the God you serve will say (WELL DONE" In honor of you, I will say to Silas and Cordial "JOB WELL DONE" you are instilled in this sphere of greatness and have inspired all of us through Tonquise just because of who you are. I honor you all, your great husband, son Jabari, and what greatness is to become of the little ones who may not understand at this time. Tonquise... "We love you" From: Bay Area California (San Francisco) -Adebongio Crane

Tonquise, you are that "It girl." Everything "It" is, you are. Lively, beautiful, intelligent, funny, engaging, talented, and strong- oh so very strong. On the surface, this seems like the saddest ending anyone could have ever imagined but I have this feeling you'll surprise us with a plot twist no one could have suspected. The seeds you've sown in the kids, in friends, in business, they will all come up and continue to tell your glorious tales. You deserve a happy ending, fit for the Queen you are. Love you. xoxo ~Lisa W. (Mary Baldwin)

Love you Tonquise! We will all love you forever.

TQ is such a beautiful human being. In 2007 I wrote a play and wanted it to be performed at Mary Baldwin College. I did not know quite where to start, but I had a vision. TQ immediately came to campus and selected actresses, assisted in setting up the stage, trained the addresses and directed the play perfectly. She embodied pure joy and students were enamored with her presence and in utter awe. She made my vision come true. That is the type of person TQ is. She embodies the beauty in those around her and touches us in ways that last forever. I love you and will always remember your spirit. You will live within all of us forever. Love Always, Joanne Harris-Duff
