Dear Tina,
What can I say but have a good trip in the arms of your Lord. God keep you.
You were more than my sister-in-law, but a true sister, as well as the Godmother of my daughter, Arianne. We raised our children together, we talked for hours and shared so many secrets...we laughed and cried together just like true sisters and friends. I will dearly miss you and the kindness and love you have always given me.
The void you leave behind will never be filled.
Take care of my Arianne in heaven. Tell her Mom & Dad send her hugs and kisses.
Until we meet again when all our sorrows end and our joys begin.
Your memory will always be eternal in our hearts.
Love you always,
Norma

I went to high school with Tina in the 60's we became fast friends. After high school we drifted apart and I didn't see her again until a few years ago at the diner. She was a beautiful person inside and out and the world is a better place for her being in it. RIP Tina

Dear Athena (Gri-Gri)
Until we meet again, you will always be with us. I am so glad that for the last time you enjoyed the place that we were all born. You walked the land that you took your first steps. To me that was the most important, seeing Skoura again.
My baby sister..Sagapo Yiapanda.
