“we all know the simple joy of a glass of sweet tea--refreshing, comforting, a lift to the spirit. Teneilia ``Sweet Tee'' Anderson of Fernandina Beach, Florida, brought that same sweetness into every room she entered. This week, at the age of 86, she passed away peacefully, surrounded by friends and family, and today, I rise to honor her life of service. Sweet Tee was a devoted wife and mother, a clown, a business owner, and a woman of deep faith. I would often see her at the hospital dressed as her alter ego, Lucianna the clown, with her husband, Don, as Hambone, visiting sick kids, reminding us that healing begins with kindness and connection. Even up until her death, she was working with my office to protect children. My thoughts are with her husband, Don; daughter, Kim; granddaughters, Brook and Ashley; and her entire family. Madam Speaker, Sweet Tee's life was like her name, a steady sweetness that brightened every day, and her legacy will continue to inspire. Sweet Tee will be missed.”
