Tina was a Hospice coworker and a dear friend for over 30 years. She had a great gift for caring for others and she is now a guardian angel for those she loved. Jaimie and Dale, our heartfelt condolences to you and your families!

Aunt Tina was one of the most caring, non judgemental people I've ever met in my life. If you ever met her, you instantly loved her. You felt welcomed in her presence. I'm going to definitely miss her green chili. . But most of all I will miss her soft welcoming voice. Miss you lots aunt Tina.

My dear and best friend in my younger years, Tina-you were a loving, strong and constant presence in my life those year ago. We shared so much love and laughter, and your compassion and dedication to your family and friends will remain with me always. I love you, my friend.
