Tosha Re-Nee Haynes

Tosha and I met after my brother Robert dialed her number in error. We all became really good friends quickly. When my Nana passed I was nineteen years old, and Tosha was seventeen years old and Tosha helped me through my loss. When my grandfather retired and relocated to Las Vegas, NV I didn’t really have a set plan of where I would live. Tosha asked her mom if it would be okay if I moved in with their family. I lived with their family for five years until I got married. During the time I lived with Tosha’s family I was blessed to become acquainted with her entire family and all of them treated me and still continue to treat me as family. Tosha and I share so many memories there are far to many to name here. Tosha loved God and her family and friends. She was intelligent, kind, funny, and beautiful inside and out. Before meeting Tosha I grew up in the church, but after getting to know her she made me want to go to church regularly. She was never pushy about church she explained the Bible in plain terms where anyone could comprehend it. I absolutely loved attending Bible study and church after only attending church a few times with Tosha. I am forever grateful to Pat( I call her Mommo), Tosha, and Regina for making me always feel loved and part of their family. I learned so very much from Tosha. She was teaching me about stocks as she was super excited and knowledgeable in that area. Whenever I had any questions I could call her anytime and she had the answer. I will truly miss Tosha’s smile, her kindness, and her laugh.
I love you Tito Cheeto Frito Mee-Née-Toe (my nickname for Tosha)
Love Renee “La’Nell” Hasty

The service was beautiful! Tosha was a beautiful person and is loved so much, and will truly be missed. To Nila, Nile and Regina, what you said at the service was so touching. Nila I remember you when you were just a little girl when we were at Centinela Valley Church of Christ. Nile and Nila you have both grown to be amazing individuals. To Pat, Regina, Nile, Nila and the rest of the family, we love you and are continuing to pray for you. Love, the Woodsons

Tosha could do anything she dreamed of doing. She was brilliant, wonderfully naughty and incredibly good-hearted and nice. She was my most trusted partner for my music in the early days of my career. I definitely would not have had the same amount of success without her genius elevating our creations and opening new paths. She was a best friend that kept me laughing always. She could always laugh at herself, and even more than that, she could laugh at and with me. It’s a wonder that she wasn’t a world famous celebrity, but it’s no wonder that she was one of the brightest lights in my life, and definitely had a starring role in my life that will never be undone.

Tosha, I’m so thankful that an errant phone call brought us together (in all seriousness, that’s how we met). I’m thankful that it was you that was my music partner at the start. I’m thankful that you made me laugh when I was down. You’re irreplaceable and unforgettable but (hahaha), I think you knew that AND would most definitely agree. My love to you in the way that only you know. Best friends forever and not even death will undo that about us.
