[Ninui]

I'm at a loss for words, oldtoby. I haven't been here for very long but I feel as if I've always known you.
I know we will finally meet on the other side.
Now. if all will forgive me, I'm gonna go somewhere and cry.

[Ladykat]

I don't know what to say. It won't be the same without you around here.

Yes, we will meet again in that far green country.

Now I'm going to join Ninui and cry.

I want to journey on with you,
through forests, glens, and dancing streams,
but you shall take a journey, friend,
that I can only see in dreams.
How loved, how loved, how deeply loved
your name has been with countless here,
and in my heart, I hold it close,
and there it shall not disappear.
I shall not sing you empty songs
of platitudes that know no pain,
but in this place, my voice is raised
to honour you...again...again.
Oldtoby, thank you for your heart
that made this realm both rich and good,
and I shall wait for you some day
on sunlit plain and cooling wood.

My sincerest love,
Parm

[Calma]

I'm not a person who prays
But I'm going to for you.
Don't give up, toby.

Old Toby. I am shattered to read this news. May God be with you during this difficult time to come. If it is possible, the collective will of your friends at TORC will sustain you.
Much love

Dear Old Toby, I've seen you here on and off over the past, my goodness, fifteen years since I joined TORC, and I can only say I am so saddened to hear this. I will pray for you, Old Toby.

Kami yo mata au made. (God be with you 'til we meet again.)

[SimplySable]

We did not know each other very well or long but I have really enjoyed getting to know you.
I also with the others will hold you in my heart now and then.

Oh, T0by...I have no words.

Know we love you.

Know many of us are praying for you.

Know your harem will always honor you.

You have fought so hard...I am so, so sorry.

Have you been given a time frame?

Please check in with us if you can.

We love you.

[telcontarian]

Toby, I honestly have no words. I have been honoured to call you my friend through our many adventures here on Torc. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

[Berhael]

Oh Toby. I don’t know what to say. I’m thinking of you.

[Hobbituk]

Horrible news, toby.

[Alys]

I’m so very sorry to hear this, Toby.

[gimli_axe_wielder]

Don't even know what to say, Toby. I'm so very sorry.

[luthienelflover]

Oh, Toby, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to say.

[Ugluk]

So sorry to hear that. Wishing you the very best.

[GwenElf]

If only we were all returning to TORC for happier reasons. So shocked and sad to hear this, Toby. I am thinking about and praying for you, and I hope in a month you come back and report a miracle! Till then, sending Cracker Barrel through the internet.

Toby, I'm sad it's such news that gathers us here. If there is any little thing we can do please don't hesitate. ::hugs::

[LalaithUrwen]

Toby, I'm so very sorry to hear this. Thank you for letting us know, and you will always be a part of our community.

[Wildwood]

Oh, oldtoby, my sorrowing heart is with you every second! You brave, sweet soul!! Thank you for the gift of your friendship over the years. Know that you are loved by so many, though some of us are far away and too long absent.

[Pippin4242]

I'll raise a glass for an old friend. To Toby! And since we Hobbits fear to say too much, or be robbed of the right words when a jest is out of place, I must look beyond the Shire for guidance:

We look toward Númenor that was, and beyond to Elvenhome that is, and to that which is beyond Elvenhome and will ever be.

Thank you for traveling with us.

To Toby! And again, to Toby!

[IrisBrandybuck]

Toby...if you see this, please send me an email (see the little envelope below my name ).

[Calma]

Sent you an email. Iris.....

[SilverScribe]

I'm so very sorry to hear of your condition, oldtoby. There are no words that would come close to expressing how I've enjoyed and appreciated your posts all over TORC. I shall add my prayers for you and yours . . .

[Bardhwyn]

Much, much love to you, my online friend - You are in our thoughts ( and there are no boundaries, not really - we're all with you.)

[Frelga]

Oh, Toby! You are such a bright light in this community. If we can help you at all, even just by listening, or entertaining you with our nonsense, please talk to us.

I'm so sorry to hear that, oldtoby, I don't know what to say. Thank you for sharing, who knows but all our thoughts of you might send you some comfort - I hope so, at least.
