My deepest and heartfelt condolences. I was blessed to have met Twinkle when I lived right across the road from her and her son JJ on Bouchelle Street. I was completely out of my element, u dire of acceptance in my new world here in the South. I learned many things through observation as well. She's the epitomy of style and grace. What I will always remember is her feisty get up and go attitude all the while carrying her head high. Her many times enjoying the day on her porch . Heaven gained an amazing angel, a woman so strong I can only pray to have her ability to conquer and thrive through storms that would break anyone. God bless you Twinkle and thank you for checking me when I needed it. 🤍🙏🏼🕊️❤️
