I was blessed to have known Tina and to visit her in March at her Evansville apartment, with my good friend Rachel. I knew her last husband, Dick McHugh, well in Shelburn and Sullivan. She was a true Christian. I extend sincere condolences and prayers to her family. Yet she is now with the Lord in an unfettered new body. God bless.
