Tina: dear friend, daughter, sister, wife, cousin-she brought kindness and grace, laughter and wit to all who knew her.

Oh Tina-such a good friend, cousin, (and one day older than me). For the last 7 years we connected multiple times a day via texting! And I miss you SO much. You were lovely, kind, gracious, generous, stubborn and opinionated (but always in a gentle manner). You loved your family-and looked forward to texts from your brothers (the boys), especially ones with pictures of their grandchildren! I still remember seeing A Hard Day´s Night with you and your 3 oldest siblings. And all those hand-me-downs Mom got from your mom for me-and me thinking you would have looked so much better in the clothes because you were gorgeous! And sophisticated. And then your gardens in CT-wow! And antiquing! And chippy! Remember his special bags of peanuts? And your gorgeous acreage with wildlife and flowers. Always surrounded by animals, tame or wild.

I remember when you and Annie would talk for hours on the phone and envied you two your closeness. She was lucky to have your love and support through her fight with cancer. Then there were your yummy Thanksgivings in Ct when I lived in NY. What a cook you were-and a recycler before recycling was a thing (yep I recall you stripping a can of paper and glue in the 80´s). You survived two bouts of cancer-I´m adding courageous and strong to your many attributes. It was fun reconnecting in person in 2019-and today, when I edited me out of the photo below, I heard your lovely laugh and beautiful voice-smooth and gentle.

You will be missed.
