Teenie was a dear friend in my times of need. When both of my arms were broken he was there to carry me to the doctor,help me to the store and be a comfort in lonely times. We enjoyed going to church and the fellowship we shared.
I loved his children dearly and his family will forever be in my heart. Our loss is heaven's gain.
