The meals and good conversation Eva and I shared with Toby the past few years will keep us smiling whenever we think of her. She was a good friend, and the animal world has lost one of its great allies. Hope you're walking around pain free Toby, with lots of two and four legged friends keeping you company. We will miss you.

I feel so fortunate that I was able to lunch with Toby in August. She has always been a true friend who helped me thru many difficult episodes in my life. I will truly miss her.

If Steve would be kind enough to contact me, I have an item of hers that I'd like to send.

My deepest sympathies to the family.

Sincerely, Andrea
