My condolences to Tina's family. I first met Tina when I began my forever friendship with her “Jenny.” She took me into heart so completely. Her absolute and real love is the number one best quality she gave to Jen. When I became very ill my sophomore year, it was Tina, who got me on the right anti virals and swung by to see me as often as possible on her way home from work. She was my companion during a band festival that I couldn’t participate in because of my illness, and when I fell apart wishing to be better she held me and cried with me. When I came to Roseville to see the newborn twins, Tina was so enthusiastic in seeing me ( albeit briefly) I remember feeling a motherly love I was missing, having lost my own mother somewhat recently. And when she would correspond with me via social media, offering encouragement always, she would sign everything “ Love, Mom” and I wish I could express how it made me feel to see it. It was just an unconditional kind of love I needed and she just KNEW it. I’ll miss that the most.
Tina, I know you’re up there watching out for Jenny, and I promise to give her as much love as I can and treasure her as you did for the rest of my days. And I also know you’re watching out for all your “kids” ( including me) and there’s a peace that comes with that knowledge.
I love you Mom.

Tina was such a kind, compassionate person. I was in high school when I met her. She allowed me to shadow her and eventually hired and trained me to work as a medical assistant/lab technician. She helped me become an x-ray technician, then a nurse. I watched her take such good care of people and animals. I discovered my love of animals through her. I remember her taking care of baby squirrels at work one day and I was in awe. She showed me how to feed them and care for them. She was always nurturing something- animals or humans. She was so kind, selfless, and patient. I wouldn’t be who I am without her kindness and support. As a teen I looked up to her, I wanted to be her. She was such a good role model. I’ll forever be so grateful for all the support and love she gave me.

Tina was always so caring and sweet. We were great friends in high school and stayed in touch sporadically over the years. Every time we talked, it was like no time had passed. It is still hard to believe one of our Four Amigas is no longer with us here on earth. May you Rest In Peace dear friend and may your family and friends find comfort in the loving memories you created.

Dearest Family and Friends, Tina certainly held a special place in our hearts. She was a wonderful sister-in-law! She held an honored spot in my mother's heart as Tina lovingly helped care for her in her last days. There will be many stars in her crown. May the Lord bless you all with His Peace and Comfort. Take care. Love, Naomi

My Sister, my Best Friend. I made her endless cups of coffee to coddle her. We dearly loved each other. She was my most loyal supporter. She had a wonderful heart and compassion, she cared for everyone. Such a devoted, lifelong friend to James Randolph (and our godmother Lala). Loving mother and Ogee to Jennifer Land and her grandkids (Josh, Jake and Millie). Her passion was the great outdoors, she was in her element with the bare minimum camping. She loved to fish! But the most important priority in her life was her daughter and grandchildren. Everyone loved Tina.
