Though I never met her, through her father I felt like I knew her. Eric Todd

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful young lady. Thanks for sharing Onjo with me today kb

Onjo! I never met you, but saw your pictures many times and heard about you often. I remember this past spring when my dad called me and told me that you were in a better place. I was happy, but so very sad at the same time! I cried for so long because I didn't understand how someone who was so young and full of life could leave us so soon. But you definitely lived your life to it's fullest and treated each day like the gift that it truly is. I feel so blessed to know your story and comforted to know that your friends and family had you in their lives for the time that you were here. I can't wait to meet you in heaven!

The Dragon Fly, so fitting "Transparent wings" she knew the value of these, using them only when needed. Look at wikipedia's discription of Dragon flies. " Dragonflies do not normally bite or sting humans, though they will bite in order to escape." "They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams" If you knew Onjo these three attribuites as well as many others were her!!! BBB&D

Saint Of Circumstance -The Grateful Dead Lyrics: John Barlow Music: Bob Weir "This must be heaven Tonight I crossed the line You must be the angel I thought I might never find Was it you I heard singing Oh while I was chasing dreams Driven by the wind Like the dust that blows around And the rain fallin' down But I never know (sure don't know) I never know, never know (sure don't know) This must be heaven 'Cause here's where the rainbow ends And at last it's the real thing Or close enough to pretend When that wind blows (wind blows) And the night starts to fall I can hear the silence call It's a certain sort of sound And the rain fallin' down Rain fallin' down Holes in what's left of my reason Holes in the knees of my blues Odds against me been increasing But I'll pull through Never could read no road-map Now I don't know what the weather might do Hear that witch wind whine See that dog star shine I got a feelin' there's no time to lose No time to lose I never know (sure don't know) I will never know, no, no (sure don't know) Well it's been heaven Even rainbow's will end Now my sails are filling The wind so willing And I'm good as gone again I'm still walkin' So I'm sure that I can dance Just a saint of circumstance Just a tiger in a trance And the rain fallin' down Rain falling down Rain falling down Well I never know Just don't know Just don't know Sure don't know what I'm goin' for Sure don't know But I'm gonna go for it for sure Yeah for sure, yeah for sure Sure don't know what I'm goin' for Just don't never know, never never know But I'm gonna go for it for sure No no no, that's for sure, yeah for sure Sure don't know what I'm goin' for Just don't never never know, no no But I'm gonna go for it for sure That's for sure Sure don't know what I'm goin' for Yeah maybe going on a dream, going on a dream now But I'm gonna go for it for sure Maybe going on a feeling, maybe going on a feeling Maybe going on a feeling"

An unusual twist of fate brought us together and made us sisters in our hearts. We shared laughter, tears, our joys and our fears. You were there with me every step of the way and I know you still are today. I feel you watching over me – protecting & smiling down at me. I’m comforted to know that you’ll be there when my time comes, but I miss you so much. Our time together was too short. I would give anything for another moment to see your smile, hear your raspy voice or receive one of your always comforting talks telling me that everything’s gonna be ok. I love you Ste-On!

I miss you - I miss your hugs - I know you're having fun -

my heart and prayers go out to all onjo's loved ones.such a beautiful young lady and so full of spirit.i never had the honor of knowing this family but the website in memory of onjo shows how much sunshine this little lady brought to so many,im sorry i never had thechance to meet her but one day we will all meet again!god bless you all

What a beautiful young lady that we will never forget!

I am honored for the chance that I had to meet you. You touched each and everyone's heart with your strength and courage and I am stronger just by your influence.

God saw you getting tired - when a cure was not meant to be. So he wrapped His arms around you - and whispered, "come with me". You didn't deserve what you went through - and so He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful - He only takes the best. So when I saw you sleeping - so peaceful and free from pain. I couldn't wish you to come back - to suffer that all again. (author unknown) How very blessed you are, JoJo - It's NewYearsEve & as you know - your momma & daddy's anniversary is today... so take special care to be near. Our tiara's, sparklers, &new '08Virgo book await - see you tonight precious, just don't be late. Ciao Baby Bella xoxoxo

New Year's Eve 2007 - Onjo, we are two hours from New Year's and we want to break in the New Year's with you! Your memories are wonderful and we will raise are glasses with you tonight! ( I will sneak you one when your momma is not looking :) Love you always!

It's like you could walk through the door any minute. I cannot wrap my mind around your absence. I cannot put into words what I feel. I think I tried to push away the reality of what was. I can only say that I love you and I miss you and that my life was deeply enriched because you were a part of it. I will never forget you. I know you're close. It's like you could walk through the door any minute. Love always and always, Hillary

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful young lady who touched so many lives in unforgettable ways....my dearest onjo, you are missed. seeing who you became and what you accomplished is why I keep doing what I do. You give me the strength to keep doing it, even when it seems futile. The reality is that it is never futile. You never know whose life you will touch and whose future you may change. Go and live on through those that you love and protect those that loved you. You wont be forgotten.

Onjo, We never met but I was fortunate to know a small part of your life as told to me by a dear friend of mine, your father. Your ever present smile in the pictures on this website is a reflection of the love & happiness you gave to the friends & family around you. John Mulholland

Onjo,you are my HERO,,I still look to you for answers, and for guidance. Iwill always love you ,and I know you love me.I miss you so much ,you are my only neice,and I will always make you proud of me .take care til we see each other soon ,my love. aunt ashlee

Hey Onjo, I'm sad we never got to meet. Your mother made me feel like I knew you though. I've never seen any one human being have the love for another like your mother has for you. What a precious gift your relationship is. It's amazing that you were so special, that you have reached so far and touched so many. Your movie star smile will always be in my mind and I hope you've gotten to meet my mother. She, like you, left this world too darn soon for my taste! She was amazing and beautiful just like you! So don't have too much fun without me...a blink of an eye and I will be walking with you. I hope I can make half the impact on this world that you did! Love Rebecca

It's no secret you where precious to me. I want you to know your uncle would have been with you if he could have. But again it gave me such pleasure to be with you. You grew from a most darling child to a most beautiful woman. Although I'm SURE of your wings now you always knew how to fly!!! Your parents taught you well...a free spirit no one could keep down.You are a woman who is as beautiful inside as out! Lord knows I will miss you!! you are with me every day. I feel you envelope me during our most sincere talks. THANX for watching over me!! You double my Guardianship. Tell my baby Hello...hope you've encountered each other. Well dear I must go...I'm off to now write your parents. Looking forward to celebrating you and your wonderful life. I LOVE YOU darlin...Happy Valentines!!!! You're mine.

HAPPY EASTER YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO BE IN HEAVEN ON SUCH A JOYOUS OCCASION.... WE MISS YOU SO MUCH -- CONTINUE TO HOLD YOUR LAMB. OUR HUGS AND KISSES TO YOU NOW AND FOREVER.. HEART MOMMA AND DADDY

Donna ,Gerry and Jana, hey guys, go under the blog section to jana's first inquiry on how to start a blog, I was reading it and had some memories and just started typing, still making me laugh. I miss you all and I worry for you. I am sending all my love and very large hugs, 2 for each, 3 if you have been behaving lately! :) love always, C

Gerry, My prayers to you and your family, Thanks for the call and for telling me about this site, very beautiful. God Bless, Jeff

Onjo, My best friend, from the moment we met I knew we were destined to be best friends. I will never for the rest of my life forget that day. So many things I want to tell you...I miss you soooo much, not a day goes by I don't miss our talks, your smile, your advice, OUR crazy stories. And there's not a day that goes by that I don't remember all the good and bad times we shared. You were my best friend, and you will ALWAYS be my best friend. Just wanted you to know that our marriage contract at the age of 30 still stands and won't be broken. God Onjo i miss you sooo much, but you are up in heaven watching down on us and showing us the path to follow, you are no longer in pain and with the other angels now! I LOVE you and miss you and cannot wait till we are together again. Love, Danny

Today, if I would paint a picture of my thoughts of you I think you would be in a cloud of pink with purple edges looking down on those of us who have a different journey to travel. All of your friends and family have written such wonderful words; mine can only add, "thank you" for being a part of my life along your journey. Kathryn

Onjo, Just want you to know that I am thinking about you and miss you more than you know. I started thinking today about all the fun times we had from goofing off in highschool, to hanging out when I would come into town from the Marines I could always count on your smiling face to be there for me. I am sorry that I missed so much time with you when I left and then didn't catch up more when I got back. I guess I could say what if all night, but I do know that I love you a ton and miss you like crazy. Zach

I was blessed to know Onjo at Glenvar High School and to have her sweet smile and wonderful spirit in my English class. She is an inspiration to all she left behind. Mrs. Hoffman

Onjo, You are truly an amazing person and each one of us is blessed to have had you in our lives. I can just imagine you now, up there spreading love and hugs and kisses like crazy. There is no doubt in my mind your wings are busy carrying you around spreading your love & wisdom. I think about the first time we met, at your house on Academy when Danny brought me over. He had always tried to tell me what a special person you were but until I actualy met you I could have never guessed the magnitude of your presence and love. From that day on, you were someone I knew I could count on, someone who's friendship I cherished. Heaven is very lucky to have received such a beautiful angel. I think of you everyday and wish I could still see you, but I know you are looking over everyone you love and for that I am grateful. Keep that smile and know I love you so much. xoxoxo Kristin

What a wonderful, beautiful tribute to such a beautiful and special person. My prayers go out to her family. PEACE BE WITH YOU. Linda

Donna, My heart and prayers go out to you. I have no idea how you are feeling and I hope and pray I never have too. Although it is coming to all of us, could be much sooner than later. Take care of yourself you know Onjo would have wanted you to. Try not to dwell on it and maybe some of the pain will go away. Donna the most important thing of all is Keeping God in your heart and praying to him daily to help remove the pain. God is Good, he will not let you down!!!

Finally peace everlasting will be with you, your breathes are gone but still you live on. Live on in the hearts and minds of loved ones that still remember your life in sweet songs. Remember you in dragonflys as they flit by, Remember you in times gone by. Remember you in life being happy. Remember your smile that always lasted a long while. Finally peace everlasting is with you. your breathes may be gone but you will always live on:) Peace be with all who read this always. Andrea Critzer

Hey girl - today is Mother's day and I know your Momma misses you so much. We all do. The world is not the same with out you in it. 4 years ago today I got my transplant and you and your Mom were there for me - waiting while I waited and then with Eric for the whole night until my parents arrived. Other then Eric, you were the only person I wanted to see when I woke up - you knew what I needed in an unspoken way. I wish you were here today to remember that day, to celebrate your Mom, to be here on earth. We miss you so much. Love you - Jana

I walked down the steps from my deck today and there was a gorgeous aqua-colored dragon fly perched on the railing. I said hello to you and thanked you for being around. You flew around me for awhile and landed on my car just as I was getting in. I know you're near. I smiled and thought of you. All my love, H

thinking of you today onjo

Onjo – I stumbled across your website today and as soon as I saw your picture the tears just poured. I think about you so often, and pray for your many friends and family members who are missing you, especially your mom and dad. Earlier this year I went to the CF Great Strides walk here in Roanoke and there were so many children there with cystic fibrosis and I pray that they will be able to beat CF. I always thought that you would, but I know you fought hard and lived an amazing life with no regrets. I miss you girl!

Happy birthday to a beautiful girl! Keep looking out for Momma and Daddy, as well as the rest of us. We will all be together one day, and what a party it's going to be! Alvin

ONJO, THANK YOU ONJO FOR BEING YOU. YOU ARE THE SWEETEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET. YOU MADE AN IMPACT ON ME THAT WILL LAST FOREVER. I TRULY MISS THE JOY YOU WOULD BRING WHEN YOU WERE AROUND ME. TODAY IS YOUR DAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. SINCERELY, ERIC HELM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONJO! I love you and miss you...

I read your "In memoriam" in the Roanoke Times and felt compelled to visit the website. I didn't know you or your family but you sound like you were a treasure. Thank you for all you've done and may we all do just as well as you did.

For Onjo's family and friends-- I'm years older than Onjo-- she was more along my younger sister's age-- but we shared schools together, both GHS and RC. And though I live in Raleigh NC now, I am in Roanoke this week for business meetings. I was driving this afternoon and saw a sticker on the back of a BMW for Onjo.org. I knew immediately that had to be for the only Onjo I knew, and I made myself a note to check it out. Here I sit just hours later, on my Blackberry, viewing this website and writing this note to you. I read a little of her writing. She thought her big long name was a big one to live up to-- but it was her short name of Onjo that she stepped into so well that someone like me, who knew her just from a couple times acquaintance, would see a name on the back of a car and feel moved to check out her website. I've never done that before. And then I come out to this guestbook and see all of these entries just recently for her Bday-- I would be lying if I didn't tell you I'm not so sure it wasn't Onjo herself that knew I saw her sticker and wanted me to check out her site. I'm glad I did, and hope this message brings a smile to your face. Whoever drives the BMW with her sticker on it-- Onjo is tagging along with you. God bless all of you who miss her so much. She's still with you-- I have no doubt. Amy

I only knew Onjo for about six months, but she became one of my best friends. It was a hard thing to hear when she passed. She helped me through rehab at the center for living. She some how became an inspiration to me. She was a very nice and beautiful person. I will always remember her in my prayers and thoughts everyday. I keep a picture of her on my cell phone as my wallpaper. Just remember, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Keep you in my memories always. Bruce A. Sawyer

Thinking of you!

Happy New Year Sweetheart! Breaking in the New Year with our baby Dylan..you will absolutely eat her up...she is a doll. After all of those years getting on your Mom about spoiling you rotten...now I know why. You will always be with us in our thoughts and heart. I am sending you a kiss to start 2009 off right:) Love you, Mike, Angie, and Dylan Orange

Thinking of you today and always.

Onjo as you well know back in September two days before your birthday we gave birth to our little angel, and your namesake Morgan Onjelique. Everyday we thank God and you for being her guardian angel to guide her safely to us. I know you are right here with her and all of us everyday. In your own special ways you have even shown us signs of your presence. Don't worry we haven't over looked not a one. Please continue to show us your grace, warmth, and love as the years go by. You are with us today, always...and forever! Pamela, Wayne, and Morgan Onjelique

Onjo! I can't believe it has been 2 years now... I think about you every day and I miss you so much. I know you are with us all the time and I can't thank you enough for being Brody's guardian angel. You mean the world to me and I love you!

What a beautiful young lady...What a loss for the world,but what a gain for Heaven....Rest in peace. God bless the family and friends.

Hi Onjo! Two years have flown by and I can still see your beautiful smile and hear your wonderful laugh! I miss you so much. Till we meet again, much love and a big hug!! Love you! Kaili

I will never look at a dragon-fly and not think of this amazing young lady and her kind mother. To her mother- You have succeeded, her kind beautiful spirit lives on! Thank you for sharing this with me, you made my day! -the gift shop girl :)

I saw a car today going down the road with an "onjo.org" sticker... For whatever reason, it stuck with me and I read the website... Today, I'm more grateful, more thankful, more "reminded" of life's preciousness. Thank you and God bless.

Although I only had a few conversations with you Onjo, the words you shared with me at the GHS stadium will stay with me forever. You touched my life in ways that I did not even realize until years later. You bring hope, love, and BIG SMILES wherever you go and I know that heaven is no exception. Thank you for showing us so much! Brian

Happy Birthday sweet friend. I hope you're having a festive party up there with lots of dancing and all of the things that you love. I miss you so much and will always celebrate this day in my heart as it was the day that you were brought into this world. Til I see you again and with lots of love, Jana

Praying for God's comfort to Onjo's family as you draw from your memories of someone so dear.

Happy Birthday!!

Dear God, according to each persons needs, bless them where they need the blessing the most on this the day that we remember Onjo's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRETTY GIRL!! Kathryn

While I never had the pleasure of meeting you, I, too, am a graduate of RC and also lost a dear friend to CF several years ago. I know the fight and the determination that carried you through each day. This is a wonderful website to honor you and it is wonderful to have such a great fund set up in your honor at Roanoke College! Thank you and God Bless.

I've heard your laugh in my mind lately... almost like you're right with me. Your big loud laugh... the one that would take your breath away.... and yet, you would still continue to laugh, even without breath. You are still so very vivid in my mind and I hope that never changes. I'm just thinking about you and wanted to write. I wish you were here. Keep laughing. Love always, Hillary

About a year ago Onjo's Mom called me to tell me about Onjo's passing, but to also tell me that a special time that we had shared in Onjo's life was STILL a special time for her. I have to tell you that I was immediately weakened and very saddened to hear of Onjo's passing. See to me she was still that little girl that I met in Italy over 10 years ago. I had the pleasure of meeting Onjo on a trip with her Mom and Dad when we went to Italy together. We started out strangers but quickly became friends, all 5 of us. It was Onjo, her Mom and Dad and myself and my wife. We did not bring any of our kids with us on the trip and we missed them immensely. So when we met a couple that had brought their child with them on the trip it was a blessing for us. We spent a week in beautiful Italy with new friends and their daughter. This little girl was not just another little girl. There was something special about her smile and her attitude towards being happy each and every day we were with them. Well needless to say we had one of the best times of our lives in Italy being catered to and treated like royalty by the trip givers. The one thing we found out about Onjo qucikly is that she had life in her. She enjoyed everything we did every day. During that trip we found out that Onjo had CF and we were both shocked with the news from her parents. You would NEVER have known anything was wrong, or bothering her at any time of any day. During this trip we treated Onjo like a little adult inside of a little kid and I remember her telling me that she was happy that we didn't treat her like a little kid. We were all invited to a beautiful old castle where we were greeted with people dressed like the old Itlaian age, to long horn players with flags mounted to their horns while serenading us into the castle. We were "announced" at the opening of the gate like royalty. I can't really describe this night or the feeling other than magical and unbelievable. That night they were playing music and I had the chance to dance with the magical little girl that we called an adult and honestly I can still remember her face while we were dancing, she was radiant. Her smile beemed across that castle dance floor and I remember her Mom taking a picture of us dancing. That night on our way back to the hotel my wife and I walked hand in hand with Onjo in the middle while she skipped down the street between us. I remember wondering if her parents may have thought that we were stealing their kid. Haha. When it came time to leave Italy and go back home I remember Onjo being very sad that we were not going to see each other again and as everybody does we probably promised that we would, we hugged and we left. I did keep in touch for a little while with Mom, we were in the same business and we always talked about visiting them but again as we people do, we never made it happen. Many years had passed since when I got that call from Mom telling me about the last several years and about Onjo's passing. I logged onto the site and I couldn't believe what a beautiful woman she had turned into. I knew when she was young that she was going to be a stunning woman but not until I opened the site did I see it first hand for myself. I would like to tell all the people that had a chance to share in this womans life how lucky YOU were. I can still see the glowing smile and the you can't keep me down attitude in her eyes in every single picture. I have seen some beautiful smiles in my now 45 year life but I will tell you that Onjo had one of the best I've ever seen. It's now about a year since Mom and I have talked and today December 20, 2009 I looked at my favorites list, which is where I put her site, and I logged back on to take another look at her life. I have probably looked at this site about 10 times in the last year but when the holidays come around you think of things that you should have done. Well I should have visited, and I now am very saddened that I didn't keep that promise to Mom and Dad but mostly Onjo. This little girl had a "connection" about her that was incredible. Although again many years have past and I haven't seen Onjo I still feel a heavy heart when I log on, and that is a true heavy heart of things "I should have done." So my Christmas advice to everyone that may read this is Treasure the moments you are given each and every day. Make good on those comitments that you promised along the way. And if a little girl wants to be treated like a little lady, dance with her and you might just be the one that feels her joy. Onjo you blossomed into a beautiful woman and I still carry the joy YOU GAVE to me when I danced with you. God thank you for touching all of our lives with Onjo. God Bless Onjo and Momma and Daddy Tom Fogarty Buffalo, NY

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year Onj, I miss you sooooo much. I think about you every day. You are my best friend and you live on in all of us. Love Danny

Hi Onjo, When I woke this morning, the sun was shining brightly giving us a beautiful Sunday morning. I heard to birds singing----guess Spring is finally finding its way to Roanoke. The sunshine and the sound of the birds made me think VERY SPECIAL THOUGHTS! Kathryn

Onjo: Although we never met I have heard so many wonderful things about you. I worked with your mom at First Team and she is a great lady and so I'm sure you were exactly like her. In talking to your mom I find out its a small world! Your good friends Kaili and Ryan and also close family friends of ours. You would be so happy to know Kaili and Ryan are both engaged and planning 2011 weddings. I can't believe they are all grown up, but time does move on. After looking at your website and looking at your pictures, I wanted to also write a note in your guestbook. Heaven does have a bright beautiful angel and I know you are smiling down on your family and friends as we speak.

Onjo- I hope you had a wonderful and snowy Christmas in heaven!!! You are missed everyday!!! Love ya always! Ash & Jon Kassebaum

I'm sorry mommy I left you so soon, I was there when the angels woke you up at noon. I know I was gone from the flash from the start, Mommy Remember! I'll always be in your heart. I listen to you dearly, when you visit my grave. Please don't cry, be sad. Continue to be brave. I didn't mean to leave you and daddy so soon. I was looking from heaven when everyone released their balloons.There will always and forever be a part of me living in you. I'll be waiting for you here, at the golden gate. Time is ticking mommy, Please don't be late! I long to embrace you in my arms. Don't worry Mommy!

What a beautiful tribute to a radiant person. Onjo made the Center for Living a place they could goof off and forget just a minute what they were going through. I am proud to know Onjo and her family, and feel comforted they are together. I will always look for fairies and angels. Quite a coincidence that my most favorite song is and always will be " What you'd be today" by Kenny C. Bless you Onjo!

TO OUR LIL ANGEL WHO IS WITH US EACH AND EVERYDAY .ONJO I KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY IN HEAVEN BUT WE ARE SO SELFISH WE STILL WANT YOU HERE WITH US.IT IS STILL SO MAJESTIC THAT YOU ARE ALREADY GRADUATED TO THE MOST HIGH, AND WE ALL ARE TO WALK THAT MOUNTAIN TOP SOON ,BUT YOU OPENED IT UP FOR US TO GET OUR LIFE IN ORDER SO WE WILL BE READY WHEN JESUS CALLS US ,I DONT KNOW HOW PEOPLE GO THROUGH LIFE NOT KNOWING OUR LORD JESUS,AND THINKIN THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GO TO HEAVEN ,NO THERE IS ONLY ;''ONE'' WAY ,AND YOU FOUND THAT WAY,THROUGH THE BLOOD OF GODS ONLY SON JESUS.

hi onjo, i love you and think of you somtims ,im glad i have a pictur og us sittinf no the coush togger michael chapman

Onjo, I met you briefly once when I worked at First Team. You walked in the office and the whole room shifted. You were so lively, beautiful, funny and seemed to be a force to be reckoned with. Your mom would always talk about you to us girls in the office. I remember feeling envious of the fierce love and admiration that shone in your Mom's eyes when she spoke about you as my Mom and I do not have a good relationship to this day. After visiting every page of your site today, I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet you, as brief as it was. I am also grateful for the examples of love that I have been shown by other mothers & daughters so that I can show that love to my daughter, Kelsey. Stevens family ~ you are on my mind often and fill my prayers.

Hey Onjo, I often drift off into my own little world inside my head and think of random events, today I went back to the first time I met you at a Sig party before I was a Brother. You and Ethan took me around and looked after me. I miss those days.

Happy Birthday Beatiful! Thinking about you and want to wish you a Happy Birthday! Love you! Michael, Angie, Dylan and Ally!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!!! Love and miss you bunches :) XOXO Ash & Jon Kass <3

ONJO HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! We Love and miss you! Thanks for sending max to us on your birthday! It has made madison so happy. Love you miss ya Madison, Brian and corren

miss u onjo, it was nice growing up with you around. you are special to me and you always will be i love you soo much. hope your having fun in heaven..

Have been thinking of you so much lately. Everytime I hear a Sublime song (random, I know) or enjoy good food and laughter... I just think of you and all those little moments we shared. It's hard to believe tomorrow is 5 years...you still seem so real to me as if I saw you or heard your voice yesterday......and I'm okay with that. Love and hugs....Hills

Onjo, Its hard to believe yesterday made 5 years since you had to leave us! I think about you so often!!! I know your shining down on all of here who love and miss you sooooo much!!! Sending my XOXO's your way :) Love you! Crotts :)

Dear Onjo, I have heard nothing but amazing things about you. It is a shame we never got to meet. Even without meeting you I do believe we would have been great friends. I will soon be attending the same college you did. Everything that I have heard about you is such an inspiration. I cant wait to meet you in heaven. I hope we can be close friends. I hope that I am not offending you by writing you this I just wanted to finally talk to you. I am happy to have become part of your family. See you soon Onjo =]

Happy 30th Birthday! I know you are celebrating in Heaven. We will celebrate for you here. Miss you everyday. Wow not Why and today is WOW day!

Onjo was a very special person and student at Roanoke College. I had the honor of having her in class. She left a lasting impression with everyone she met. I am glad that her name will live on in a scholarship at the College to help others. Everyone who knew Onjo misses her greatly.

So sorry for your loss.

I know it is not much but I have made a $50 donation to Onjo's scholarship fund. In the future, I intend to make a $50 donation at Christmas and on September 5 of each year. Onjo, continue to shine your angelic light on your grandmother and your entire family.

Every. Year on this day,it is a sad day,we love you onjo

Donna & Gerry, It was wonderful meeting you over dinner at Castaways. Your story, of your daughter and your mission was inspiring and heartwarming. You made me think about how deep a parent's love runs, and first thing this morning I gave my mom a hug and thanked her, from the bottom of my heart, just for being my mom. I love what you're doing to inspire the memory of your beautiful daughter and her dream. Best Wishes, Shannon

Although I never personally knew her in this earthly life ..... her soul, her eternal essence, shines on. Her loved ones will be joyfully reunited with her someday. They can personally take great peace in knowing that.

Eight years doesn't seem possible. You will forever be my WOW. I thank God everyday that you were a part of my life and such a bright light for all who knew you. Thank you for continuing to shine. Love you!

Hi Onjo! I heard your voice for the first time in 9 years. It made me miss you more. I've been walking for the past 3 weeks with your momma and we are having a blast. She reminds me of you in a lot of ways. Sending you love everyday! You are my WOW. Love you!!

Happy Happy Birthday, ONJO! We love you so much. Victoria has noticed your picture and will look at it and talk. I think she is talking to you. Miss you everyday! My wow not why.

Thinking of you! Love you and miss you bunches. Victoria loves carrying your picture around. She smiles and giggles and it's almost like she knows a secret. Maybe it's you whispering to her.

I miss you so much, your faces and expressions, your excitement for life, your ability to call people out while still making everyone laugh. It doesn’t get any easier thinking about you and all the life you never got to live, but I’m just so thankful, so, so, so thankful for the time we had. You changed me and your presence in my life continues to affect who I am today. I am so confident we’ll meet again, you can be my best friend in heaven as you were on earth. Love forever and always until we meet again ♥️
