I miss my first cousin every single day. There are so often times or events that make me wish I could call Tinka, wish I could talk with Tinka. We grew up together. We were supposed to become little old ladies together. On occasion, Tinka "visits" me in my dreams. Those always feel like a blessing.

Jim, Jennifer, Chris: I am heartbroken to hear the news. Tinka and I had such fun on many water fronts across the country, on mopeds in Bermuda, on shopping sprees....the list goes on. My deepest sympathy and love to you all.

You and Tinka always made me and Albert feel like family. As a young kid and throughout the years at PPI and beyond , too many memories to list. Seeing Jennifer and Chris grow up into adulthood is something very special.

I was an employee at Precision Propeller and Chris and my son were in school at the same time. I didn't know Tinka well. We mostly shared short, pleasant conversations when she would stop by work but I knew of her tireless efforts to make the Warren schools a better place for our kids to be in. I often wondered how she found the energy to raise a family, support a family business, work as a nurse and still be involved in activities that benefited so many school children and their families. I know she touched many lives and will be terribly missed. Please know your family has my sincerest sympathies.

Tinka & I were born 1 year & 10 days apart; her mother & my father were younger sister & older brother. We were a very tight knit family.
We grew up like sisters. We were each other's first friends, first siblings & of course, first cousins. Tinka was the outgoing one, the extrovert. After her mother's passing, Tinka became the "rock" of the family. She took care of everybody.
I cannot imagine my life without her. Even now I think of something & say to myself, "Oh, I'll ask Tinka" or "I'll tell Tinka".
I love you so much my precious cousin. You are now with your parents & our grandparents. G-d hold you in His loving hands.
