We are so sorry to hear of Tina's passing. She was one of Diane's best friends back when we were in school and it is so hard to hear this even after so many years. Tina was at our wedding in Aug of 1972 and we still have a picture of her at the wedding. Please accept our deepest sympathy for the entire family and just know that Tina is in a good place. May God be with you all forever. Love, Diane & Ray Stringer

Len, Diana and Laura, My sincerest condolences on your loss.
I will always remember Tina for her thoughtfulness, her caring and her kindness. It was the little things she would say and do to make me feel very appreciated and cared for. She wrote me a thank you letter a short time ago that brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. Not an easy thing to do. She will be truly missed. Heart felt prayers from my Family to yours.

TIna was such an amazing person. I will never forget her thoughfulness and generosity. I have never met someone else who could write such a kind and touching thank you or greeting card like her; she had a wonderful way with words. Tina was always so kind and welcoming every time I came over to see Diana, and I will not forget our friendship. Len, Laura, and Diana, I am so sorry for your loss. Her beautiful legacy lives on. <3
