Sweet aunt, you have always been there for me. You gave me love, shelter, and hope when I needed these most.

Aunt Toby was always full of love. She treated me just like her grandkids. I remember warmly spending Thanksgiving at her home. I also remember how excited and energized she was dancing to “It’s Raining Men” at Adam’s Bar Mitzvah.

I met Aunt Toby after marrying her nephew, Alan. I loved her energy and infectious smile. She loved to go, go, go, and every visit with her included walks in fun places and delicious food with family. Air shows in record-breaking heat or Fall Pumpkin Festivals with gourds bigger than she was- every outing was fun and I’ll always feel her with us.

One of my favorite memories, is a Thanksgiving when she, Robyn, and I went to Michael’s Arts &Crafts and Barnes & Noble…just girl time…we laughed and had a great time. I have always admired, respected, and loved her strength and resilience. She served as a role model for all of us.
Love you, Aunt Toby ❤️

My favorite memory is walking with mom every Saturday. We would talk, hang out and then enjoy coffee together.
