I'm so sorry to hear about Carol. I remember her from high school. I've had many conversations with Juanita and she talked quite often about her daughters.

I have many great memories of Susie. Growing up with Teddy and Angel she became a second mom to many of us. The relationship her and big Ted was the kind everyone wants. Ted loved her so much, it was truly inspiring. May the wonderful memories help ease the pain of losing such a great woman.
