  4. To Ms. Peggy and all of Toby’s Family, I am very sorry for the loss of Toby. I will treasure the memories of Toby, spending childhood day with him and Gerald, spending the nights with each other and always working on something whether it was a bike, go cart, or something. Toby would always bring a smile to your face with his actions or a joke. I am sorry I never got to see him when I would come home. Each one of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love all of you!
