Dear Christine and Terry,



I don't even know where to begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Toni. My brother just called last night to tell me and I am so upset that I missed her funeral. Please know that I loved Toni dearly and that you and Gary are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.



With deepest sympathy,



Norma Loth

Dear Mrs. Mackin,

I'm very sorry for the loss of your daughter, Toni. She was a beautiful person. She was a wonderful child. We've all lost our way at times but always but knew the right way thanks to the good of our parents. I'm sure she has found peace today and is along side of your husband and her father.



God Bless you and your family,

I love you and your family,

Bobby
