To The Family of Toby Wescott,
My sincere condolences for your loss. I will always remember seeing Toby & my uncle Bobby Coon coming over the hill on the tractor to visit my grandparents farm. Those were the good old days in Valley Falls when life was hard, but each morning greeted with a smile & our lives all touched one anothers. May you find peace in knowing that Toby was remembered by old friends. God be with you in your time of need.
