Blessings to all! I miss all of my wife Jane's aunts and especially miss my Mother in Law, Edna Toinbee Albertson! Anabelle was a jewel!

The Toinbee sisters were an awesome group of women who will be sadly missed. It's as if an era has passed from the West Haven neighborhood - similar to the grace attributed to southern women. I personally have learned from the kindness, generosity, genuine care and concern shown to me by Auntie and her sisters; not to mention the original cuisine . May God Bless.

Some of the best years of our lives were growing up in West Haven and spending hours with all of our friends there. Ron, I still really enjoy bumping into you at times. Also like to say hello to Larry in Wisc. who spent much time with all of us.
