I have written, & re-written this note, but, there are no words that can express nor, can I bear to even imagine the pain of your loss....
A beautiful little light was taken from the world,
and carried to heaven....
The world is a much darker place,
but heavens light glows more radiant then ever,
Torey has gone home.....
We love you,

Robin, and Sonny
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Torey was an awesome boy, he was always full of smile and cheer, Torey touched my life in a way not many people do. Torey makes me look at my life, and say "I have nothing to worry about" If Torey can make it through life with all the challenges and still be strong than so can I"
My thoughts and Prayers are with you all. I had the great pleasure of getting to know Torey while he was at NPPS

Robin and Sonny - Let Torey's spirit always remain in your hearts forever. I know he will in mine. He taught me to not give up no matter how hard things got. I will remember all the times we had shared, games we played, and lessons I learned. I'm glad Torey was a part of my life.

Mr. and Mrs. Ribaudo,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your son Torey. I had the privilege of knowing him by being his Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten teacher at Hamlin Elementary Center. I will never forget his ear to ear smile; it was so brilliant and radiant, it always lit up the classroom! May you be comforted by all the wonderful memories you hold in your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With Love and Sympathy,
