Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Sincere condolences to the Toler family. I was privileged and honored to be a caregiver for my Princess. Thank you Robin, Benji Lee and your spouses for allowing me to care for such a special lady. You became family to me. 🙏🏾
I had the privilege of being Mrs. Toler’s cardiologist and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. She was such a sweet lady and always brightened my day whenever she came for a visit!
I wish I had gotten to know Ms. Bobbie better. What little time I did spend with her, I instantly felt her warmth, kindness, her great sense of style and grace. I also witnessed her wonderful sense of humor and quick wit. She was a true southern belle!
I am so sorry for Your loss. I always enjoyed being with Your Mom. She and Edna always laughed and enjoyed being together. She has always had such a beautiful smile. Cherish those smiles and remember wonderful times together.
