Dear Tokash Family, I am at a loss for words. Please accept my most sincere sympathy on the passing of Baba. Knowing her and then teaching her granddaughters who absolutely adored her makes me so sad for all of you that will miss her a great deal. She had made quite an impression on me for the love that she had shone her entire family. I know that she will always hold a special place in the hearts of all that knew her. Most sincerely, Joe, Lisa, Nicholas, Nathalie and Lauren Boron
