Ms. T will never be forgotten by those of us who hold wonderful memories of her in our hearts.

I will always remember the first time I met her at her house on Post Street. She made me feel like I had known her forever--she even made me a part of her family. I am happy that I had a chance to know her.

I will miss my granny deeply. She always had a smile on her face and pearls of wisdom to share. Post street will not be the same. I want to thank all those who came to support my family in our time of need. We really appreciate your kindness.
