Just received word of Tina's passing. What a tremendous loss for so many. The greatest gift Tina possessed was her ability to relate and motivate any type of student. Having worked with at-risk students, I appreciated the fact that Tina could always make time for not only the best, brightest, or most athletic, but for those kids who were struggling with fitting in. She was an outstanding teacher, especially in sophomore math with some challenging students who often did not find math their cup of tea. Tina would work non-stop to find a way to help them. My most vivid memory is from the one of the opening days of the new school year when Tina was running the Link Program orientation. One of the students who was so shy and terrified of being at a new school, had really melted down at the assembly. Tina made time to personally welcome him and find an alternative so that he could make it through the day. The next day he asked me if there was any way he could be in her math class. She made a difference every day. Her smile was always there. She will be missed; I admired her greatly ... so did the students.

The Celebration of Life for Tina yesterday was beautiful. The words spoken, the sense of love, care, sadness, yet unity to walk out of the gymnasium a better person was present all around... to live as if today were your last day. Our family has taken the "challenge" and will forever do our best to live just as she did. Live life on purpose, live life fulfilled. Our love, thoughts, and prayers are with the MacRae Family. Thank you for allowing us to share in her Celebration of Life.

Although a student at Inglemoor, I was never a student of Tina Macrae's but even so, I knew how much she was loved by all. Such a great inspiration, role model and mentor. She added so much to this world before her passing, and it will not be the same because of her. She will be missed by anyone who knew her name. May her life always be celebrated.

My thoughts and prayers are with the MacRae family and the Inglemoor High School Community. Speaking as a former student, she was such an incredibly inspiring figure for IHS and will always be remembered for her enthusiasm, fun-loving attitude, and spunk. She had a gift for always putting smiles on students faces. You'll be missed dearly.

As a former student of Tina's, I saw how her enthusiasm for life and positive energy touched each and every student she came into contact with. The wide community of Inglemoor will surely feel her absence, but I believe her positive spirit will live on in the culture of the school. My deepest sympathy to her family.
Sincerely,
