Words will never express how much you meant to us auntie. My tears do not stop flowing for your bitter-sweet absence. I miss you sooo much, just to know that you are no longer suffering is what makes me so joyous in my everyday thoughts of you. You were the "REALEST" woman I have ever met in my life and no matter what anyone thought, you kept it that way. All a person could do was respect you for that. I also wanted to express to uncle Zeke, my mother, the sisters, and her children that the battle was the Lord's and he fought for her like no one else could. She is safe now and has her deserving wings! There was a poem that I read that meant alot to me and it said..."Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly" and that was my aunt Tina now more beautiful than ever.

I Love You!

To my brother Zeke and the Briggs family. Have comfort in knowing that Tina is no longer in pain, she is at home with our Father at rest. I will miss her so much. Not only was she my sister-in-law, but a good friend. I will miss her smile and kind heart. She was a beautiful little lady inside and out.

Tina was a great person and a cherished friend and someone I can call Family. I will cherish my great memories of our time together. I will never forget all the wonderful times we spent together. What I Remember most is when Tina cut my hair for School (Had to shave it off) :) Family, you have my heartfelt sympathy.

Our faith is certainly tested at times like this. I know it is difficult to understand a loss like this, but we need to be mindful of the true blessing that she was to us. That should give us the strength to continue on in faith knowing that she would want us to honor her memory.

May God Bless all of you in your time of need. Its has been a many years since I've seen any of you. I use to hang out with Louise. In October 8, 2010 I lost my sister Donna Clements. But God brought me through, the thing about our love ones departing from us; is the love they have for us does'nt die, they take it with them. God is carrying each of you right now, remember to keep your souls anchored in the lord. His word is true, he promised to never to leave us or forsake us. God bless, remember footprints in the sand!

If you search for the definition of 'FRIEND' in the dictionary you will see 'TINA'! She was not only my friend, she was my sister and more! Missed is an understatement, but I do know she will forever hold a very special place in my heart as well as others.
