Dear Tobermans and Sammy-
My heart goes out to you as you begin the mourning for lovely Marion. When I think of her, I remember the consummate lady,no complaints,no drama;just a lady at all times. She made you feel loved and valued in her life even though you were a recent friend. Reading all her accomplishments over the years was so impressive, but she was wonderful and an inspiration even without knowing any of her history.
She left a beautiful legacy of friends throughout the world.

I didn't know Marion for very long. We met five years ago when we were wintering at North Coast Village, Oceanside CA. We spent many enjoyable evenings playing cards. She was an impressive player. We also used to help each other with our newspaper puzzles like Sudoku while sitting around the pool. We also kept in touch by e-mail when we returned home and I feel very blessed to consider her a good friend in the short time we knew each other. I have wonderful memories and will miss her...

Dear Tobermans,

I wanted to add to what Judy and Cindy wrote. Your dad and mom will always hold a special place in my heart; they were wonderful friends and I understand impressive bridge players. Your mom always asked about my family and was so proud of what you all had accomplished. I know that her many wonderful deeds and acts of kindness will be a comfort to you all.

Fondly,
Sandie Royce Kaster and family

Harley, Jay, Bonnie & Steve:

Your mother was a wonderful person who always had a smile in her voice and a twinkle in her eye.

I have so many fond childhood memories of the Tobermans, the Friedmans, the Skladers, the Greensteins and the Royces.

I remember the fun we had together at Chanukah parties, at picnics on the grass at Lake Minnetonka and at the lake home of your family. What a incredible way to grow up!

Other than my father, all of the other...

Hello Toberman kids. This is Cindy Royce. I'm now in China and heard about Marion. When I think of her I always remember her smile. She and Besse always laughed together. Please know that I will remember her throughout my life.
