Tina, growing up you were more than an Aunt you were like a big sister who always had my back. My childhood was blessed because you were in it. I’ll never forget dropping in to see you and you would be the only one at home on your knees praying and worshipping God. I will forever be grateful for every memory, prayer, and most of all you leading me to the Lord when I was a teenager. I know now you are with the Lord who you loved so much, at His throne worshiping Him in total peace, you are on the winning side! Until we meet again all my love, Kayla. Give Jacob a hug for us!!

My deepest condolences to Tina's family on her passing. She was my rock when we were in elementary school. She was always someone to talk to on those long ride's on the bus to and from school. Her smiles were contagious and her laughter would light up room . I will always remember the good times we had. May she rest in peace.

Rest in peace sunshine! Prayers to my BRE and the rest of the family

Tina,It's so sad that you have left this earth.I Love you and you will be greatly missed. You were one of a kind. I'm so grateful and blessed to have had you for a Sister n law and in my life. You had such a sweet spirit and a good soul. Thank you for all the times you made me laugh. Thank you for all the talks,listening and prayers. We had some great funny times together when we were younger and I will always cherish those memories. Until we meet again sweet Angel. Rest in Peace and I Love you. 💜🙏🪻Kellie Norton

How heartbroken I am to have to hear of this passing way way to soon. You was the life of any party and such a fun free spirit. The love you had for your children was nothing short of amazing, which was nothing less for your beautiful grandbabies. You definitely will be leaving a space nobody could ever fill. Sometimes we loose touch with friends and family for short periods of time never thinking it could end and be to late to catch up. So save me a spot under a tree beside the wild flowers. You will be missed and loved forever.


Rest in peace 🙏🙏
