Not sure what to say?

A lot of memories with my family growing up next door to Tina and her family on Bingham Ave. Tina was a woman who didn’t mince words, she told you exactly what she thought. My condolences to her family during this hard time.

My Aunt Tina, not by blood, but by heart. She was my Mom (Linda Knight) best friend from 6th grade until my Mom passed in 2021. She was always a big part of my life from all of us girls living together in the early 80’s, to camping trips with her, Bob, Darci & Jolene, to all the shenanigans on Association Island when my parents were the caretakers, to going with Alex to visit her & Bob in Hawaii, to all the phone calls & quicks visits whenever I was in town... to her being there to comfort me...

One of my favorite Aunties !always good for a laugh n KFC buckets .. I know your in peace n w Jesus now love you forever

Darci and family, our condolences on the loss of your mother.

me with my Mom (Linda Knight) & my Aunt Tina, they were best friends until my Mom passed away. I could not have gotten through it without my Aunt Tina.

My heart is broken for all of those left to mourn my Aunt Tina. She was a big part of my entire life, from the days we all lived together, to camping trips with her, Bob, Darci & Jolene in my youth, shenanigans on Association Island when my parents were the caretakers, to visiting her and Bob in Hawaii, to every visit when I was in NY & many phone calls through the years... she was the keeper to so many stories of the past, I will miss her so much. My prayers are with the family, I would say...

I’m so sorry for your loss Julie . Love and prayers to you and your family
