I can only imagine the things you endured to be great! Your story inspires me. Even as a child watching your show, I was happy to see someone that looked like me. You endured it all with such a beautiful smile. Rest easy. Prayers for your boys.

I love Nell Carter! She is someone I always wanted to meet. Always stylish, funny, talented, an inspiration. She always seem to have much confidence - it's sad to read she tried to commit suicide at one time. I'm so very glad she didn't.
