Michael C. Tolman was born May 25, 1957 to Rex and Elizabeth Corbett Tolman. He was taught well and grew to be an honorable man of his word, a man who kept commitments. Mike was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer; he endured two surgeries followed by radiation and chemotherapy. His body was weak but he was determined to finish his treatment and return to the Virginia Roanoke Mission to complete the unfinished service he had promised. Commitment. He often thought of Jessica, the beautiful girl he met at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. They had agreed to meet after their missions, when the time was right. He lost his battle on May 1, 1979.
