Toby was one of the sweetest most kind people I knew. My dad, her husband, Victor Contento adored her and loved her with all his heart. He vowed to always take care of her. She always had a smile on her face. We enjoyed laying in the swimming pool on our floats, getting our nails done, eating ice cream, visiting the horses and feeding them carrots and watching the horses race. We vacationed at Myrtle Beach every summer. Victor taught Toby how to golf -a sport they enjoyed together mostly in Florida. Dad and Toby loved to travel in the RV and had many friends and quite a social life.
Toby enhanced my life with her positive attitude and loving ways.
May she rest in peace and I wish peace and love for her sons and their families.
With Sympathy,
Sally Contento McVicker
