I am so sorry to hear about Tena. She was just a baby when I last saw her. She grew into a beautiful woman. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I love you baby girl. Fly high and sing with the birds. Brighten the heaven with that beautiful smile that touched mine and many other hearts. You will forever be my guardian angel. May God hold you closer than ever and show you that you were and still are loved by so many. I'll miss working with you every single day and the constant fun and joy you brought me. May God also help me and your family and other friends through this because as the days pass day by day, it will never get easier, only more tolerable. I will see you again one day, but for now always watch over me. You were a shining star on earth and you're a shining star in heaven. I'll never forget about you because you were and still are a huge impact on my life. I love you Tena Mitchell. Fly high beautiful angel
