I had the pleasure of knowing and taking care of Tanda. She was always a joy. Buddy she was so proud of you and loved you dearly, even when she did not want to listen to you about her health!
She talked about you a lot, how you were always there for her and taking care of her.

She loved to hear you play and sing your music...she was a proud Sister!!!

Deepest sympathy to Buddy and family. Tanda was so very proud to call you, her brother. She loved her family. I met Tanda in the late 80's at General Dynamics. I loved that she dared to be bold with fashion, make-up and hair. She was so much fun at work. Rest in peace, Tanda.
