Tina-Marie Giordano, you were such a beautiful soul and loving human being. I miss you and our wonderful FB chats. Hard to believe that you rose into heavenly dimensions 7 years ago. May you reincarnate as another beautiful soul in a human being once again...and without the physical ailment that took your life so soon in 2014. Much love x
like a true force of nature coming together endlessly in love and light

Tina...I can't believe you are on the other side. Both you & Jill. I had no clue. I had no idea just how sick you really were, but you are in such a better place now. You & Jill can continue your antics!! I really thought I'd be the one on the other side first. Keep a place for me & maybe we can finally have the "Tina & Thea" show up there. You're among so many neat people now & no more worries. Till we meet again...I love you & will miss you terribly. Both you & Jill. P.S. Give me a sign you're near!

Tina, I may not have ever met you in person, but, I feel as close to you as I would a sister. And I miss you already. I always looked for your posts each morning. I live with pain every day as soon as I open my eyes. We shared a lot I know, I knew you was going to leave those who loved you but I was shocked to death when you went. You are not suffering any more and I am thankful for that. But girl..I still look at your FB page every time I log on, expecting to see your special words to keep us going. I love you Tina and will be with you one day. (I hope) Then we can be old ladies helping animals and spoiling our pups..
I know your family is having a tough time with all of this too. I pray God will comfort you all.

My dear friend, you hardly complained about your illness and I would never ask because to me you were just fine with that sense of humor that reminded me of me. I then learned you went home to God so soon. I had no idea you were so close to going home. I've shed so many tears this past few days even though we've never met and I often said I want to go to AZ and meet you. Now I will have to wait. You are a amazing person I shall never forget. I miss you and your post.RIP girlfriend you have earned your wings. Love you girl.
For a FB angel.

Awww Tina...we never met outside of FaceBook but I am grateful our love of animals allowed us our friendship - your sense of humor was amazing. I was honored when you called us twins - that was the ultimate compliment. You were taken too soon but God is a lucky man to have you by his side. (He better watch out tho LOL)
Please know when my time comes I am going to find you and we can crack jokes like we used to on here
Love you my friend <3
