Dear Mrs. Tolbert, Gary and Pam,
My sincerest condolences on the passing of your precious husband and wonderful dad. It’s hard losing someone we love so much. But because we do love them so much, it makes it just a “tad” easier knowing they are healthy and whole again.
I will always have such sweet memories of Mr. T. He was such a kind man. When I was around him I always got that wonderful hug and smile. It was always fun to be around him.
Growing up with Gary, it was obvious he had a good father. Gary turned out to be a good man, and that’s nothing you are born with, you learn by example. Gary had a constant, wonderful, Godly example. Thank you Mr. T.
Mrs. Tolbert, Gary, and Pam, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. May you all feel the arms of Jesus around you and his assurance of seeing Mr. T. again one day give you comfort. Much love, Rhonda.
