Sincere condolences to all the family and friends of Thandi. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. When I was working with Thandi and the gang at Affectionate Home Health it was fun. We were like one big family, and I miss those days. Dr. Mack would come in to visit and brighten up our day. Thandi will be truly missed but, she’ll be with her mom up there taking care of each other.
Thandie was very sweet, when I came into Advance America she always had a smile on her face.
Last time I was in there I asked about her and her co-worker told me she was out on leave I was praying for her speedy recovery but God had other plans. Continue to smile down on us Thandi I will miss that smile.
