your mother was a gentle soul!
I had not heard from Tooty in a long time…She has touched my life greatly. I just don’t know what to say. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it. I’ve known her for so long on here! I find peace in knowing that she is with Frank once again. Your family is in my prayers.
You all were so blessed to have had her for a mom.
I know you will miss her terribly, and that pain is unimaginable.
We love you and pray for you daily.
Your mom touched my life in such a way that I will never forget what she meant to me.
She never complained, back bit, or hated in any way that any of us would know of…unless it was of course something or someone that had hurt her family.
I pray for ease of your heartache and sorrow and that we will always keep your mom in our forethoughts.
Sending you my love and support.

Rest in peace going to miss you

Children rest in knowing your Mother loved you greatly. Life wont be the same for those of us who knew her and loved her.Turning on my pc will never be the same and my e mail will miss her too. She was my best friend and sister by heart. she had the heart of an angel and never said anything bad about a soul. Now she has heaven she’s running and singing praises to Jesus. I love you all dont forget.Aunt Fancy
Your mom, was a wonderful kind and loving angel on earth! She was always supportive and there for all of us who knew her. I hadn’t been on in a while and when I came back, it was to learn she was in the hospital and now this! I will miss her dearly, as I know you all must be doing! The Lord has taken our earthly angel home with him, I am sure to bring some joy to heaven as well! God bless you all and help you thru your sorrow! ! ! Love and hugs! ! ! God Bless! ! ! Tooty, I will definitely miss your warm wishes and wonderful links and cards ! ! ! ! You were a good person, and I will dearly miss you! ! !
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, she was a wonderful lady. We’ve been cyber friends for quite a while. I always loved to see the pictures of grandchildren and the music she choose for the backgrounds. I loved the one “in the summertime” with the kids swimming in the pool She was very proud of them. I know they will miss her very much. She would send sweet ecards and messages to help brighten a sad day. What a great friend. One of God’s angles has returned home. Live each day as though she is still here on earth, so that you may see her living in our fathers house. Love to you and your family. Deanna
Tooty was an earth angel sent to us from God’s very special garden of love. She warmed our hearts, gave us understanding and love. She accepted us all as her friend. Tooty placed her mark upon my heart it will remain forever. I shall miss her but God needed her more for He knew her heart was His home and now she is beside Him and those who went home before her. Rest in Peace my friend, we will meet again one day.
