I have known Toni Cobb since our days at Evanston High School. Then we went to Northwestern, and we knew each other there.



Then after we both were married, we joined the Book Club, and have seen each other every month since 1955 at meetings at our 15 members homes.



She was a lovely friend of all of us in the Book Club. We will all miss her.



My warm thoughts go to her children, and her grandchildren. She will be missed.

Once upon a time there was a world.
Within this world there were two girls who became friends.
They went through a lot of stuff together.
But through thick and thin,they remained friends until the end:
And you Toni are My Friend Forever .
With love to the family
Always Daisy Hayes
