I am just heartbroken to see this. I haven’t seen Tina for many years, but she had hands-down the laugh most likely to make other people laugh. I can still hear it. She was a hilarious girl with such an adventurous spirit. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. She’s gone way too soon sending love to all of her family.
I don’t even know where to begin with this except for to say that this really hurt me when I found out Tina passed. Many of my most treasured memories has Tina in them. We were inseparable for a period of time in our early teens. I would also like to say to Kerry, Gina, Joey, & Jenny, I’m so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family.
Never going to forget you Tina
I miss and love you so much. It’s never going to be the same without you 😭 I can’t believe I’m even seeing and typing this. I love you so much and please watch over us💔💔

Tina, we never met but should have. Your awesome son, Austin and my daughter Jenna have created our most precious grandson, Roman. Please know that Austin is very important in our families life and always will be. I wish I could have met you. Know that we will always be there for Austin, Roman and I know you will always be watching over them.

I am so sorry to hear of Tina’s passing! It really caught me off guard when I saw it. So many fond memories of marching along side her with the Emerald Knights! May she Rest In Peace …. I can see Tina and Pat spinning rifles again together! Two of the BEST!

Just got the news a few days ago that you were gone. I gave you the name “Bird” because you had those tiny little legs and were always flying around us, shining your light. You had a way about you that made everyone smile when you entered a room. Our family will always adore you and have sweet memories of you and Austin. Fly high and be at peace little Bird. You are finally free. Prayers to her family for peace and healing.
Wishing you courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. Tina was a swan in everyone’s lake.
