Vi er glade for det år Toby fra Danmark fik hos jer. Og tak for Berthies og Marks besøg hos os i Danmaek i 1997, 2 år efter at Toby var død i en trafikulykke i 1995, efter at han kom hjem fra et fantastisk ophold hos jer fra 1992 til 93.
Vi savner ham og hans far i Australien.
Alle Tobys bedsteforældre er siden døde, men dejligt, I besøgte os alle i Danmarks.
I må nu leve med sorg og savn men glæde jer over at ha’ været her sammen så længe.
Kærlige hilsener
