I know this is very late but I had just decided to Google Tina. Every now and again I think of her and wonder what ever happened to her. I worked with her around 1973 at American Can Company where she was a patent attorney and I was a secretary. She was always the sweetest person to me. It looks like she had a lovely family and a long happy marriage. I´m so happy. RIP Tina you gave me great memories and I´ve always remembered your laugh!

I worked with Tina for at least ten years. She was always a joy to be around: gracious, sympathetic, elegantly dressed, beautiful smile, got along with everyone. Her legal advice was always conservative, to the point, and by the book. It was an honor to know her. My condolences to the family.

Dana and Family, here is a poem I hope will bring you some comfort in your time of grief.
God saw that she was getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around her
and whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes, we watched her suffer,
And saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes "the best".
With our deep hearfelt sympathy and love. May your mother, wife, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister-in-law and aunt REST IN PEACE.
