Sending my thoughts, love and prayers to Aunt Myrtle, Lynn, Ronnie and the entire Tosh family. Uncle Cleo loved telling me the story about the time he picked me up from Central Elementary one day and how I ran down the hall and jumped into his arms and of course I loved hearing him tell it and all his other stories. He will truly be missed by many.
