Our dear friend Toby Salk celebrated her birthday last Sunday with another one of her wonderful monthly Mah Jongg brunches. But this time it may not have been the happiest of birthdays for Toby as she has just lost her incredible mother, Reva. You may remember my blog postings about Toby and Reva playing Mah Jongg together, even as Reva inched toward her 100th birthday. Let’s take a moment to celebrate Reva and to mourn her passing – we are all thinking of you, Toby, and remembering Reva as we send you all our love, thoughts, and prayers.
Here is Reva (in turquoise) playing at one of Toby’s Mah Jongg brunches. Toby thought about canceling her upcoming brunch, but instead, she dedicated the day to her mom, Reva Salk.
Mah Jongg and Me
Mah Jongg is not just a game. It has become a part of my life that allows me to entertain my Mah Jongg-playing friends, cook great meals to serve to them and test my mental skills during our game play (which, hopefully, is often).
That picture of Toby and her mother Reva is one of my favourites on your website.
Thinking of Toby at such a sad time.
Sincerely, joy hamilton

Toby, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was so inspirational to so many, but I trust, mostly to you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
