I know that Toodles and my mom (Margaret (Maggie) Kirby) are kicking up their heals in Heaven. My mother loved Toodles as I did and anyone else that had the honor and pleasure of knowing her. I told Toodles (when I stopped by the house to see her in May) that my mom would come to meet her when her time came and I am confident that she did. My deepest sympathies to all.
