She had a quiet strength, determined resolve, always looking to a better future for her family and seeing the best in everyone. In the later years, Tina chose the spiritual path for her life. She became very involved in Holistic Therapy. She was very passionate about the healing properties that are found in essential oils and natural herbs.

Tina was always selfless, she had a passion for love, and life, she always sacrificed her needs for the good of her family and friends. Tina had every right to cry, be mad or fall into depression, but instead she loved and lived every moment she was given, neither hard time or her recent medical issues would get in the way of her being the wife, mother, and friend that we will all hold deeply in our hearts. Tina was not taken away from us. She was chosen to walk the serene beaches in the hands of our Father, to watch over and guide all of us as we continue our journeys through life. Take a moment to express the pain of your loss, to never shed another unhappy tear, yet remember and hold tight onto the love that Tina has shared with us all.
