Tina,
I will never forget the time you took me to Zelda's house in New York, I had so much fun with you. I had wished I knew that you were going to Bingo, because I would have been there with you. I am very saddened about your passing, you were a fighter to the end, but I am glad that you are at peace and not suffering, you truly deserve to rest now. Make sure you say Hi to Zelda for me.
You will be missed dearly
Missy

Although I have not seen her in many years- she will always hold a special place in my heart.She will never be forgotten. With deepest sympathy may she rest in peace.
