I had no idea Twinkie suffered THAT much. I knew about Denise. The other three [[Karen, Dorinda and Jackie) had their own struggles too [[mainly Karen and Dorinda and I only think they showed half of what they suffered). Wish Mattie had took her health seriously [[RIP) and Twinkie's need to be independent [[Twinkie accompanied Mattie for nearly 30 years between 1963 and 1992, Mattie was forced into retirement after 92 due to her bout with diabetes).
