Good bye my childhood friend. I will miss you even though we lost contact in later years. We had so many great memories which I will always treasure, thank you for those times. I am so grateful to have these memories and the photos to look back on to remember the best years of our youth. I love you and will miss you. Your friend, Diane

When I remember my mother the first thing that comes to mind is Love. Not just the love she gave to me or our family, but the love she had for everyone. Growing up the friends my brother or I brought home all inevitably called her Mom or Mama Tina. Other people's children practically lived with us some of the time. She alway had an ear for our troubles, kind words, and, when all else failed, a warm cookie to soothe us. She was always happy to volunteer when a chaperone was needed, a bake sale needed stocking, a teacher needed a helper, or a tee ball team needed a coach. Not to mention she was the finest lunch lady I've ever known. She was always the fixed point on our horizon, our guiding star. That is how I will hold her in my heart, shining with love and gently guiding me on my travels through this uncertain life.

Rest well, Mommy. Your work here is done. I will carry your love in my heart always.

Tina i remember coming to your house to meet you and come aboard to help with the process of your healing,little did i know it would be too short,you became my little sweetie.I planned on staying with you always even when you became stronger,so we could continue to watch our favorite tv show law & order and drink our coffee.The Bible says our ways are not like Gods,so i guess he had another plan.I will keep your last voice message on my phone until it erases itself.My friend Ed,I pray God will comfort you(Sparky and Connie too :).I miss you,your friend Jackie

When I think of Tina I see her smiling. We were able to spend some time together at both our wedding and Bill's birthday party. I remember her enjoying an "umbrella drink" at Bill's party which led to our conversation about how an island vacation might be perfect for the next get together! It was just a couple of minutes of conversation but it's a memory that always brings a smile to mind when I think of her. You will be missed Tina.

God bless and keep you. Memories of very young people meeting at Ho Jo's going on to build a life together. Feels like just the other day when we were all working under the orange roof. She will be missed but always remembered.

I miss you so much already and I'm sorry that I couldn't save you this time, but you're now in a better place.I envision you in heaven, now free of your earthly handicaps, playing with Duchess and Buddha, and running around like a little kid,and being reunited with your father again. Take good care of her for me dude! Not a day will go by that I won't think of you fondly, and all too soon we will be together again, and we will continue the journey we began 31 years ago. Goodbye for now baby.
