Crissy, Dick, Ray, Susie, Marilyn, and grandkids... My heart breaks for you all. We loved Tookie, she was such a loving and caring person. I remember Aunt Marge and Uncle Art's wedding reception at her home. She was always there for any of us and if she didn't have an answer or what we needed...she's find or get it. I just told Crissy to tell *Aunt* Tookie I love her...and had no idea until I read the FLTimes Obituary just now that she has gone home with the others that went ahead of her. Fly high and I bet you got GOLD wings...you were truly an Earth Angel, so I'm sure they gave you a gold pair. You are and will always be loved by so many.
