Toby approached life with joy, love and inspiring enthusiasm. No matter if you were family, friend or community member, she made you feel like you were the center of her life and heart.Toby had a determination to uplift those less empowered even when she was personally beset with difficulties. Toby faithfully responded to the calls of both Isaiah and Micah as well as responding to the commands of Jesus "to love one's neighbor as oneself". She was a witness in her family and community in her exemplary service while uplifting women and children in tutoring programs, feeding the hungry, and supporting those who grieved. Toby's wit, intellect, and "can do" attitude and undying faith serve as an inspiration to all who knew and loved her. She will be greatly missed.
