My prayers are with the Tolbert family and Willie at this time of sorrow.

I worked with Earline for many years at Agilent/HP. I enjoyed her

beautiful smile and never ending laughter.

I use to tease Earline because of her initials and often told her" ET phone home". Well, Earline phoned home one last time and our Heavenly Father answered her call and took her home forever.
