Toby touched my heart. I was blessed to have her in my life. We had fun times shopping together. At Christmas we enjoyed a bottle of wine together as we wrapped gifts. Oh the laughs we shared and our love for photography. Rest In Peace my dear friend.
I enjoyed sitting next to Toby during fair times while she bragged about her grandchildren , Travis, Soozie and Jenny while showing their pigs, cows, goats n more!! She was so proud of them and very gracious with her photography skills, taking pictures of my girls and other 4-H kids without asking for any $ for her time and talent. RIP Toby ??❤️
Toby was a kind soul. She had done my senior pictures in 2008. Heaven has gained a special angel.
