      Dear Jonah (Keel) and family,
      My heart is filled with hurt and sadness,….I am just finding out about the passing of Tosha. I met Tosha shortly after moving to Orlando in 1993. We instantly bonded as dear friends and she was a mother figure to my daughter! Tosha, I am thankful and blessed for knowing you and having a dear sweet sister friend like you. Tosha was an Angel to all that knew her, she made a difference and leaves a lasting legacy to the young and old. God called you home, you are now resting in peace, no more sickness……you are with your Heavenly Father!
      Love You, your dear friend,

    Praying for God’s healing power and comfort for the entire family as you mourn the loss of your love one. In life Tosha taught us the true meaning of unselfish love and what it means to open your heart and home to all who had the blessed privilege of knowing her. As we mourn her leaving, let us celebrate the Homegoing of a life well lived.

    We love you Tosha and we will miss your sweet potato pies and homemade cookies.

    We met at Florida A&M University in the early 70’s. It was if we had already known one another. A truly wonderful human being who sought out the best in humanity. Matosha possessed a inner spirit filled with pride, confidence, dignity and willingness to champion a cause that served to benefit those in need. In the many, many years that Matosha dedicated her life to the profession of public education, her vitality and love for the educational system and it’s goals was never without positive affirmations for what she truly loved doing…promoting education and how it benefits everyone. I will miss Matosha’s charm and unique sense of humor and her spirit of never giving up. May your journey in transition be filled with all of the wonders that you nurtured in your heart during your lifetime.
    Respectfully;
    Robert Biggins

    God allowed our paths to cross, and we remained dear friends for over 60 years; it was so easy because of Matosha’s kind and loving spirit. I’m truly going to miss her; but, I know that as long as there are Memories, Love lives on. Rest in Peace my dear, dear Friend.

    Mrs. Tosha was an angel on earth and is now an angel in heaven. She was definitely one of the kindest humans I’ve ever known. We had such fun times the summer I stayed in her home while I was interning in Orlando. I loved listening to her stories. She looked out for so many people and lived an exemplary life, quietly leading through her actions. I carry her in my heart always, and I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with her. I will never ever forget her . . . .
