Toot, you will be missed. I looked at you and Jan as friends. You made auctions fun. Was sad when you retired. May Jesus give Jan and the rest of the family peace .See you on the other side. Pat

When I think of you, I think of your green van "3 peas in a pod" That takes us back to the years working together at Hucks and later many auctions. It was always a joy sharing time with you and watching Casey grow. I extend my sincere condolences. They say we never lose what has become a part of us although it doesn't seem to ease the seemingly endless grief. Rejoice in the love and life you shared together and may God comfort you and provide strength and peace for each day forward.
