Please accept our deepest condolences on Tobi’s passing. Like too many families, we know firsthand what a truly difficult and exhausting road that can be to travel. It was inspiring, however, to see how your family was able to pull together and support each other during what must have been an extremely difficult time. (Those are some great kids you have!) Most of all, we really enjoyed seeing Tobi and family make the effort to come to some of our games, especially those that involved considerable travel. I know that Isabel really appreciated seeing Tobi there supporting the team and found her presence a big motivator to give her own best effort. Please know that you remain in our thoughts. The Granger/Cochrane family.
Michael and family, We are so sorry for your loss. Tobi was always so nice to everybody. She lives on in your heart and your memories. Our prayers are with you. Marty, Paul (Audrye) Andrew and Meg

I am saddened to hear of Tobi’s passing. It was an honor to have spent time with you all when you came to Florida a while back. Helen Keller said it best – “ The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” Watching all of you and the love you shared is the greatest tribute to Tobi. She was a great mom and wonderful wife, but most of all, she knew just how much you all loved her. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family, and I hope you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of Tobi.
Mike, Sara, Emily, and Ryan, I am deeply saddened to know of Tobi’s passing. It was a true honor to have spent time together when you came down to Florida for vacation a while back. Helen Keller said it best “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” Watching you all is a perfect example of that quote – the love you all have for each other is the greatest testament to Tobi. She was a great mom and dedicated wife, but above all she knew how much you all truly loved her and each other. My heart and prayers are with you and your family, and may you find comfort in the loving memories of Tobi.
I am so sorry about Tobi, she was always so kind to my family and I. God has another beautiful angel in heaven now. My sincerest condolences to Tobi’s family.
Praying for your family. We also are fighting cancer with a member of our family. My 31 year old niece Christie has a brain tumor that is cancer. It is so hard to see her struggle with daily life We do everything we can to help her and let her know how much we love her. We also have amazing people from lifetime care . Tobi was a beautiful woman who will be dearly missed > Kay Walkley .
