To the Family. My deepest condolences go out to all of the family in your time of bereavement. Mrs. Toben was like a mother to me. She always had a warm smile and was very soft spoken with the spirit of an angel, She will be truely missed. Too many times have I sat at the dinner table with she and Henry, who was one of my best friends. He and I spent countless hours on the phone or just sitting around the house in front of the garage enjoying each others company. The two of them are now reunited in heaven with the Father, smiling down on us. One day we too will join them, but for now must live the rest of our days for the Lord, doing His will, so that we will be worthy of The Kingdom. God's prayers and peace be with you all, Be Blessed...
