Message: My dear family, I am so sorry to have to say 'goodbye' to Tina this way. My desire is to be with you the survivors and my dear nephews and nieces, but since that isn't happening, I want to take this opportunity to say a few words in remembrance of your Mother, Tina, my sister in law. I've always loved her dearly, She was such a bright spot in my life with words of wisdom handed down when I asked for her advice. I can still see her smiling face and twinkling eyes, always ready for a good laugh. I marveled at all the crafts she made many times and remember her playing the guitar and yodeling and singing her favorite songs. I also remember how she tilled the earth in her garden and the many jars of produce she prepared for the winter. And how good they tasted in her cooking. I will miss her, but have many great memories of her. She is with her Savior now where I know she is singing praises to the Lord today. Bless you, my dear ones and may God shield you and protect yo!
u and give you comfort in your loss.

Love you all,
Aunt Sharon
