I offer my condolences to Tina's family. Tina was a kind and generous person; a wonderful friend.
The validity of first impressions has never been truer than when I first met Tina.
I met Tina almost 14 years ago when she and Tony moved to Quail Creek. Standing before me that day was an intelligent, beautiful woman with sparkling eyes. At that time, I remember thinking: She is a straight shooter.
That is what I most admired about Tina: You always knew where you stood with her. She would never try to deceive anyone, never try to trick anyone. I could ALWAYS count on her.
I miss Tina. I will always remember our times going to lunch and to the movies. She loved her grandchildren dearly and was always willing to share the latest photos.
I will always be grateful that she came into my life and was such a good friend to me.
