After returning from Fergus there was a phone message from Bryce saying that Toby had died.
This wasn't a huge surprise given his state of health, but it is still a shock. Managed to talk to Bryce late in the evening, who filled me in on how Toby died (torn lung), and when (Friday night). Stayed up late – couldn't sleep – and I ended up emailing friends of Toby about the news that I knew Bryce didn't have email addresses for.
Am tired but my mind can't stop thinking about my memories and impressions of Toby. I am deeply saddened that he's gone, though am just too in shock for any tears. I'll have more to say about him later, right now I just want to take it all in.
Funeral is likely to be either be Friday or Saturday. I'll be going. I'll probably be going solo since that is when Erika and the kids are slated to fly to France.
Ugh. Still can't really believe it.
