Twana was a bringer of light. to her home , neighborhood, church, and friends I can see her now looking uo at the throne dressed in white quoting Psalm 27:1

Psalm 27:1 ESV

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Arthur J Palmer said this of the late Thomas Edison ‘of this man, this super being who defies classification, what more can be said: What greater tribute can be paid, He was humanities friend.

This can be said of Twana

Longfellow wrote

Lives of great men all remind us

we can make our lives sublime,

and, departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time

Twana left a print on the lives of everyone that she encountered.

She was an example to all of us.

1 Timothy 4:12 ESV

12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
