Carol,
We were so saddened to learn that Tootie had passed away. What fond memories we have of her. My parents (Glenn and Lavon) and your parents were such close friends for many many years. Smoke and Tootie seemed like part of our family, too. What fun we had back then!! I know you will miss her so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Carol,
We were so sorry to hear about Toots - we just found out this afternoon (June 29) or we would have picked Dad up and attended the funeral. Your mother was such a kind and caring person, I know she will be missed. She was a great friend to my mother and I think they are in heaven now having "happy hour"! Take care - Linda and Dick
