I am going to miss Tee Tee (Carol) so much. We are not supposed to have favorites. It was absolutely impossible not to love her. I was with her on her first day and I was blessed to be with her till the last day. She could always make me smile and I could almost always return the favor.
To her family, thank you, for letting me take care of her. She taught me so much and she holds a special place in my heart.
Love,
Crystal (her white daughter)
