At times like this, it's impossible to come up with words to ease your pain. It is quite obvious that Toad touched so many lives. Losing a child leaves a void that cannot be filled. Just know that you are in all of our thoughts and prayers. Growing up with your family left all of us "East Leroy kids" with many great memories that we will have forever. "Father," "Ma Sheerer," "Harvard," and "Tiny," you are truly blessed to have such a wonderful extended family. We love you all.
