I was lucky to know Tina in a UD community that was defined by warmth, joy, and friendship. Yet even surrounded by such wonderful people, she was remarkable. Every conversation with Tina was so profoundly genuine it gave those around her the courage to be themselves. Her generous care and happiness were contagious.
She may no longer be bringing light to every room she enters, but each and every life she touched is indescribably brighter for it.

Gerhard, Jeanette, Eric & Adam - I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Kristina, I remember, like yesterday, is an effervescent character who I immediately pictured laughing with her team mates when I heard the sad news. My thoughts are with you, and of Kristina laughing: even when rain was lashing down here in England just a few years ago. Coach Ross

I met Tina when we lived in Marycrest our freshmen year at UD. She was just a few doors down. Not knowing many people at a new school can be scary, but Tinas energy and friendliness really made me feel welcome. Tinas positive presence made our hallway a greater place to live. Prayers and thoughts to her friends and family.

It is never easy to describe a moment like this. My friendship with Tina began as we studied abroad in Rome. There are so many moments spent together in laughter, lost on an adventure, or eating at one of our potlucks or Crew Sunday meals. Thank you for always being the spark of joy we needed. Rest easy now and my prayers are with all you. ❤
