    Bruce,Bob,Pat & Families:
    We wish to express our sincere sympathy to you all during this difficult time. Toots was such fun person to be around. I remember when you all lived on Summer St. in Yarmouth and Mom and I would come over to your house and your little bull dog “Beans” would greet us at the door. She would scold him for barking. This picture of her reminds me of what she looked like then. Time seems to fly by so quickly. I am sure you all have good memories to treasure of the time she spent with you all. Hopefully these will help you all get through this time of loss and move on. Our thoughts are with you all. Take care.
