I was so sad when I was told of Tina's passing. She was one of the first nurses I started working with at Kane's ER in 2015. I will never forget that she and Fred came to Indiana to hear me play my Sax at the Jazz Festival on Memorial Day Saturday in 2019. I remember looking out from the stage, and saw "tall Fred" and "petite Tina" with her hat on in the audience. It was so obvious to everyone where ever they went of their Love for each other. You and your family will be in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. We all will miss her very much.
