Til, I will miss you. You were such a good friend to everyone you knew. You enriched my life simply by knowing you. The world was richer because you were a part of it.

Ms Til
Although I never met you personally, I heard so much about you and the wonderful adventures of your life through my daughter Cassie. She said "Mama, my patient Ms Til is such a joy and a very talented person. She inspires me to continue to work with the elderly."
You are with your mother now. Rest in peace.
