As a child, Uncle Carrie and Aunt Phyllis were a special part of my growing up.I would spend a week at their home more weeks than I can remember It was very special for me. When they adopted each of my cousins it was even better because I had more cousins to be with.Uncle Carrie and Aunt Phyllis both had big hearts and they both we’re very special people. So God blessed them by giving them Teresa. They were my God Parents and I couldn’t ask for a better pair to be my God Parents. I will always keep you in my heart, my God Father, My Uncle Carrie.
