I recently discovered Tina´s passing. I knew Tina many years ago. We were neighbors and friends. We went our separate ways after high school. Tina was always ready with a smile and was an unforgettable woman. God bless her soul and may he cradle the hearts of the Buscemi and Voss families in his hands.

Just as Shari LeFavour mentioned in her message, I too was a friend of Tina´s back in our school days in West Jefferson. I had the pleasure, through a strange twist of fate, of reconnecting briefly with her years later in Dayton. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, and my condolences go out to the Buscemi and Voss family and her friends. She was one of those people you just liked to be around and talk to - her presence was like fresh air.

Words can't describe how shocked I was to hear of your passing. We knew each other for over 33 years, from the banking world, pool parties with our kids, wine tastings, networking events and our WATT Business Association board.
You will be so missed lady!
See you in our next life! I'll come and find you!

Sending our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Buscemi and Voss families for your tremendous loss. Tina and I were childhood friends and had many fun adventures together! We went our separate ways after high school which is often the case, but the news of her passing hit hard. She was a beautiful soul and light to those who had the honor of ever knowing her and being her friend. She will be missed and I am so grateful to have been able to share even a little part of her life. Praying for your comfort and God's peace during this difficult journey.

I am going to get flowers for Bettina tomorrow morning. Still not sure exactly what kind except that I know I will get some blue forget-me-nots because Tina was unforgettable.
She joined our book club at the age of 28 and was considerably younger than many of us. Yet she immediately fit right in. I suspect her superb social skills enabled her to fit in wherever she went. She had such a nice voice-soothing and lovely, and was a great conversationalist.
Funny and generous and warm, Tina lived her life to the fullest. She made the best soup. I never knew her to say an unkind thing. She will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.
