I just saw this today, my sweet Toot. It's been forever since I spoke to you and I have missed you. There have been few that could make me laugh the way you did and as you know that is one of the most important things to me. We shared much years ago. I wish I could be there to say good bye in person but I will see you again. Till then, baby.

We are so sorry of Toot's passing. She brought so many smiles and great laughs to all of us. We worked very close during our Jaycette days as well as Jaycee times. She was one of those people that everyone enjoyed being around as she was so full of life. The past few years have been very difficult but her long, hard fight is over and she is at peace. Prayers for all of you.

My heart is breaking. I have such fond memories of all out fun times together. Fishing on Ocracoke, Jaycee Women adventures and just sitting and laughing. She was the true example of what a friend should be. You will be missed my sweet friend. I will always hear your laugh and see your sweet smile. RIP Toot.
