To the Rouse and Scott families, my deepest sympathy. I grew up right beside the Rouse family and remember Tookie fondly when I was a little girl and on into adulthood. She always seemed to light up the room. Know that she is in a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
