My Comadre was a great person, she was always laughing and joking around. She also had a big heart for others, like taken care of my Mama. I was living in Colorado and she offered to take of her. I will never forget how well she took care of my mom. Although we lost touch an hadn't seen each other, when we did see eaxh other it was like picking up where we left off. I will always remember Tina as a sister, comadre, friend! I love you, I'll always remember all the good times we shared laughing, cooking n drinking n eaten, dancing, you can dance all you want now! So fly high sister!!
