I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Mrs. Tinker from Calvary Baptist Church from many years ago. She was my first pal in Pioneer Girls. She was always so nice and a very sweet person, always smiling. I will always remember her fondly. Memories keep loved ones in our hearts forever. My deepest sympathy for her family and friends.
