Dear Tina:

You have fought a very very long battle and have endured alot of pain. Now you are at peace and this pain is gone. God speed and rest in peace.

Oh Tina, you dear gentle soul! -- always so cheerful, so brave. I miss you, but know that at last you're free from pain and, I pray, re-united with the dogs you so loved.

Dear Tina,

Miss working with you and our walks that we used to take. Also will miss talking to you. I hope now that you will be at peace and you won't be in pain.

Dear Tina...what a brave battle you fought. Knowing your pain is gone is the only comfort I find right now. I miss you horribly.

You were such a thoughtful and caring person and such a nice friend. I am happy for you that you are finally at peace, but will miss our conversations & your big heart.

I so enjoyed our conversation a few weeks ago. You sounded so good at that time. At last your pain free and in a better place. I'll always remember our lunches, times at BBI and of course the lovely farewell party you gave me.
