With Sincere Condolences to Tina and Family.
I remember how much my mother enjoyed her visits to our home. How happy they both were to see each other and spend a few hours together. They had such a grounded and respectful connection.
May the power of a love shared carry you though this time of deep loss.

My condolences to the family. When a family loses so much in a short time it is hard to see the light. Angels have taken the ones we love from us we feel to soon to be in heaven. Now they look down and smile at all the beautiful people and things they helped to make.

Each of you hold tight the joyous memories and help each other. Remember the love and good times for they are what keeps them alive in your heart.
