Twila was my friend for 46 years. We met in high school while playing basketball and while in Black student Union there.Turns out my mother, Janice, knew her mother, Emma Mae.
We had fun playing basketball except our sophomore year when we lost every game. After that we had some successes on the basketball court. Senior year sophomores and juniors moved Twila and I out from playing much along with our good friend Laurie Shade. But we made the best of it by calling ourselves "we are the end of the bench". We would hide our "snacks" candy, popcorn and chips behind the bench and eat it during the game since we knew more than likely we wouldn't get in the game. But close to the end of some games we would see Coach Cole stand up and walk down the bench to us and we would put our heads down hoping she wouldn"t put us in the game.1. because we had eaten our "snacks" and 2. because we didn't want to sweat out our uniforms for a minute or two of playing time.
Twila and I raised our children together and we always thought that Jamica and my second son Richard would get married. They fought all the time as children then later became more like a brother and sister who are close.
Twila loved to watch her soap The Young and the Restless and her beloved pretzels but of course only after she pinched the salt off. After her strokes she was feisty and sometimes could be funny, with me at least.Even when she couldn't speak anymore last Saturday, Sunday and Monday she would let me know she was still in there by letting me hold her hand while I talked to her. The last time I saw her a few hours b4 she passes as I was leaving I told her "I love you" and she shook her head, yes.
She was my best friend and she will always be my sister from another mother.

My condolences for the family. I would like to share a comforting thought from the Bible: 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4: ''Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.'' God is willing to comfort us so that we can help others. May Jehovah God provide that comfort for the family!
