A lovely, lovely lady. I met Ms. Toi in 1992. We became immediate buddies. I listened intently as she told me stories of her son and his adventures with Stevie Wonder. She told me all about her wonderful sons. I loved the way she chewed her gum as she animatedly shared her life with me. I left AC for many years but when I returned, I anticipated see her again, which never happened, To the family, you were truly blessed to have this lovely lady in your lives. Hoping you find peace in knowing that she is now resting in the Masters arms from a well traveled journey that blessed many. RIP Ms. Toi! Miss and love you.

Dear Family,
So sorry for the pain that you bear and the loss that you're feeling right now. Miss Toi was a lady, a star, an angel, but most of all a blessing to all whose lives she touched. We "thank her for sharing." We pray for your strength today and comfort in the days ahead, knowing how much she meant to so many! With heartfelt sympathy,
Mike G., Jo and family
