Toby was such a loving and giving lady to everyone.We met at Bank One and carried on our friendship after those days ;calling ourselves the three”Birthday Girls.” It was unbelievable that she was so sick. Because of her love and faith in Jesus she gave her life to His plan. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and family. So sorry that I was absent from the memorial but I missed the obituary. I do miss her! Warmly, Carol Culpepper

Your Mother was a gem. Mom and i sat in front of her each week at church. She was the sweetest most caring person I know. Once Mom passed I askToby to come and sit with me. She did until she became sick. Toby was very special to me and I will miss her terribly. You were blessed with such a special mother. Rest in peace my dear one. She will be another guardian angle for me. Love you Toby.
