Everyone knew how much the wanted this baby... there was a baby shower and there  was over 40 dresses... all yellow!!

Tonya Loved basketball and grew into a excellent point guard with 3 point skills that she passed along to her boys and nephews. Tonya was on the varsity basketball team as a freshman in Wyoming where the crowd would yell SWISH whenever the ball was in Tonya's hands.  She move to Vernal and was a varsity player for the rest of her high school years at Uintah High. Tonya coached the girls Jr. Jazz team basketball team to back to back championships. She was a fun coach.

The love of her life, Ronnie Rasmussen is the best thing that happened  for Tonya. He has given hers many experiences and good times. Ronnie brought Tonya a bonus family of shannon, Casey and Michael and their families. Tonya loved these bonus grandkids and loved buying presents for them.
