I loved Aunt "Bike" and will miss her greatly. She was a fountain of knowledge and such fun to be with. My sister Carol and I were blessed in spending time with her last October. So glad we made the trip to see the Victor Newlin old homestead area. She acquainted us with much of the history of the area.

I am so sorry for your loss, Toby was a loving and kind Lady. Toby thought the world of her family. I will always cherish the times at Joe and Imogenes sitting at the kitchen table and talking about anything and everything and the days we worked together at the Dutch Pan restaurant. Rest in peace Toby.

You will be missed Aunt Bike. I always remember the times when Aunt Bike, Aunt Dorothy and Grandma Hudd visited at Grandma Hudds house. Aunt Bike always made good pies too at the restaurant in Greenup as well.
