To the Groller and Leibensperger families. I am so sorry for your loss. I apologize for not making the connection sooner that Tina Goller was Tina Leibensperger. We were just talking with her at the Whitelhall Diner a few weeks ago. She was a sweetheart. Always smiling and always happy no matter what she encountered. She was also a great mom. She raised David to be a very nice gentleman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Richard and David,
I had the pleasure of working with Tina at Sacred Heart, and my daughter and granddaughter would periodically have lunch with us and got to know her as well. Tina's humor and fun loving personality will be missed by all. No matter what was going on in her life, she tried to make the best of it always. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Tina will be sorely missed.

I grew up with Tina in East Catty, and went to school with her. We again worked together at Sacred Heart Hospital until her retirement. I always enjoyed chatting with her whenever I saw her. She was kind and friendly. I missed her when she retired from Sacred Heart, and am saddened to hear about her sudden passing. Rest in peace, Tina. I will never forget you!

Mr. Groller and family,
May Tina rest in peace, she was a wonderful person, co-worker and I'm sure a wonderful mother and wife. I worked with Tina at SHH where I was her Housekeeping supervisor. Tine was always upbeat and willing to talk about not only work related items but personal items as well. She had a heart of gold which was evident as she exhibited part of this as she perished. I enjoyed the time I worked with Tina and all of the SHH Medical staff, Clerical staff and Environmental Services staff the five years I was employed there. I moved on from SHH around the same time Tina retired. Keep in mind the fond memories you have of your wife and mother as they will help you cope with her loss. She's gone for now but not to be forgotten, as you will meet her again in eternal life. May God Bless you and Tina.

May you all find peace and comfort in the memories you have and keep those close to your heart and she will always be watching over you all. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out David. Just call me 610-266-8959.
