We are so sorry for your loss. Tina is my cousin. We grew up together when we were younger. She always took good care of her sisters, Tammy and Kelly. Knowing her then I’m sure she was even a better mom and grandmother. She was always laughing and full of life. I have such wonderful memories that I will always have. Please give my Uncle Cecil and Donna a big hug for me. I worry about him. God love all of your hearts.

I’m so very sorry to hear of Tina’s passing. She was a noble and beautiful soul. We always had such fun at work especially when she would give someone a haircut…and I would be on the lookout… I will miss her. My prayers and deepest sympathy to her loving family.

My deepest condolences to Tina’s family. I was lucky to get to know her at our gathering point at One Boca Place. Tina always had a great story to share and always had a great attitude. Tina was strong and a positive influence on anyone who needed encouragement. I am very sad for the loss her family has suffered and will pray for them , that they find the unity and strength to cherish the good times of such a wonderful woman. Heaven has a new angel to watch over.
