Larry & Alice,



Toots was so loved by us and she will be dearly missed.



Unfortunately, at times we are lost for words. Our comfort lies, (most importantly yours), in remembering that she lived a full and good life (especially with both of you).



Toots was Our Friend.

"Toots-Duffin" they go together. She was always up-beat, cheerful, funny, and even a little routy. What more can you ask for! She's a "Duffin!" We feel privileged for the time we spent enjoying time with such a wondeful woman!!!



Time has past, and our lives have changed, but our love & friendship for you both and the family are deep in our hearts. (Jenny looks simply "Glowing", boy I miss her. It was so good to see her. Missed Danny, but You should be so Proud!) I'm Sure Toots was just as Proud & Comforted to know that she will Always be Loved by her Family and Friends!!



We know Toots is with God, & we will all miss her. But more so, ( I don't know how to say it; (Al, help me out) you and your family are more affected in a far deeper way than words can explain.



So, Larry & Alice, Please accept our heartfelt condolences and be assured that we will be here should you need us.



Much Love, Donna & Teddy

Larry, my deepest sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your mother. I hope all is well. Are your kids married with kids of their own? I still have one in high school.



sincerely.
