TOSS, IT HAS ALMOST BEEN A YEAR. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. WE DIDN'T GET OFF TO SUCH A GREAT START WHEN WE MET, BUT ALL IT TOOK WAS BEING STUCK WITH EACH OTHER THAT ONE NIGHT AND WE WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS FROM THAT TIME ON. THAT NIGHT WE TALKED AND TALKED. WE FIGURED OUT WE HAD SO MUCH IN COMMON. OUR PERSONALITIES WERE A LOT A LIKE. AFTER THAT NIGHT WE BECAME SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. WE HAD A GREAT TIME WORKING TOGETHER AT CURVES. THERE IS NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU AND ALL THE GREAT TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER. YOU TRULY WERE THE BEST FRIEND I HAVE EVER HAD. YOU NEVER MET A STRANGER. I REMEMBER WHEN YOU AND GENE WERE IN THE FISHING DEPARTMENT AT WALMART. YOU MADE FRIENDS WITH THIS OLD COUPLE AND BEFORE YA'LL LEFT THEY INVITED YOU AND GENE OVER TO BBQ. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US AND THAT YOU ARE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE THAN US. YOU LIVE ON IN SPIRIT AND IN EVERYONE'S HEART THAT KNEW YOU.

Dear Family, Our most heartfelt and deepest sympathies are extended to you,Gene,and all the members of your's and all family members of Tossie's. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. We cannot understand why? but Job in the Bible said it well when he said, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the lord." When we met "Tossie" we fell in love with her right away. Her eyes lit up when she talked and she always had a smile. She was a beautiful young lady. She introduced our Regina to her brother Robert. They fell in love right away and because of her we have "our" lovely Robert in our family today. She will be missed by all that knew her.

Sky, I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. I know you will miss Tossie more than imaginable. When you were managing the Co-op, I remember how much you doted on both Tossie and Binky. I learned a lot from you about how to raise daughters -- and I applied those lessons to raising my own.



I'm truly sorry.



Take care,
