The family would like to extend a special thank you to Jessie Wade (Elvis) and to Hospice of the Blue Ridge and his devoted nurse and friend, Brittany Murdock for their loving care.
Toby was an avid Elvis fan, and loved to laugh and play with his family until the end. His smile would light the room.
