    I'm sorry for your loss. I remember watching Tina swim at BHSS. I was diving at the time. She had so much determination; it was contagious. May you be surrounded by love and peace at this time of loss.

    My deepest sympathies to Tina's family, I understand how hard it is to lose a loved one this time of year. In my 3 years working at Stonebelt I have very much enjoyed working with Tina. I only worked with her a few weeks ago and she was as happy and smiling as ever. I always enjoyed watching B Horror Movies with her on SyFy. She was a loving and sweet person and will deeply be missed by the Stonebelt community.

    I remember meeting Tina at the Smithville baseball diamonds, when I was around 10 years old. I never forgot her zest for life and thought of her often throughout the years. I myself was blessed with a daughter 8 years ago who has Ds, and knew it was going to be okay by remembering how fun Tina was. I hope you all can find comfort in each others love for one another during this difficult time, and to know Tina left an everlasting place in my heart.

    I'm so very sorry for your loss! I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a child. It is never suppose to happen that way. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing she will not have to deal with the world's problems anymore. I'm sure, if it is at all possible, that she is sending her love to you and wanting you to take her someplace to eat. She and I would have gotten along fine. And, driven you nuts. We are out of town today, in Evansville. It looks like we are not going to make it back by 4:00. Sorry!!! You know God loves little children. (even the older ones). God will take care of her now. You need to take care of you. Love you!

    I am so sad to hear that Tina is no longer with us. I have so many memories of Tina - she was very special to me. My favorite memory was when she was the manager of the South softball team and I would take her to the practices and the games. She was so excited to be a part of the team. During summer school she always had a great time when I brought Johnny and Maggie and they would play softball together. Tina was a spitfire who always brightened everyone's day. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

    As a nurse at IMA, I was fortunate to meet Tina. We sort of bonded. We would always greet each other with a hug. She would light up any room and you immediately felt better! She brought joy to everyone. Just thinking of her brings a smile. I'm so sorry for your loss! Just know: she touched everyone with her special being.
