I am so sorry for the loss of Tina. She volunteered with us at Shriners Hospitals for Children and was a joy to have. She loved the children and she loved each day with a spirit of joy and laughter. We were so lucky to have met her and been blessed to know her. My sympathy to your family.

Who knew that we would gain a "Nona" when Kristine married Paul! What blessing she was to our whole family! Her brilliant smile, loving voice, and sharp wit will be greatly missed by all. My faith comforts me in knowing she has been reunited with her beloved Fernando and Oscar! Thoughts and prayers for the Curth family and friends.

My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you in your time of grief. You guys have had a hard couple years. I hope you will take great satisfaction and pride in the love and care you gave Tina in the last few years of her life on earth. I hope it is comforting for you to know that she is now joined with her beloved Fernando and lives happily and healthily in heaven. The first thing that pops into my mind when I think of Tina is her lovely smile, kind words, and warm hugs. It was an honor to have known her. Love, Rita

Tina was a wonderful volunteer of ours in the Recreational Therapy Department at Shriners Hospitals for Children. She was very compassionate and helped many of our children adjust to lengthy hospitalization. Gertrude has kept us updated on Tina in recent years since she stopped volunteering. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Curth Family, love and prayers to you all. We are so sorry for your tremendous loss. Your friends are close and thinking of you during this difficult time. Love, Sam
