    My condolences to the family. I was blessed to know Tina. I met her at Wesley Manor. She had a heart of gold and touched everyone she came in contact with. She loved her entire family. And always put them first before herself. Such a beautiful soul gone too soon.
    She is gone but never forgotten.
    Prayers of you all

    Tina left an indelible mark wherever she went. She was kind and funny. She adored her family. Working with her residents came naturally to her. I’m sorry she’s gone. I’m sorry for the lives she still could’ve impacted. She was too young. Tina, rest in peace my friend. You did good. You were good. I won’t forget you. My life was better having known you.

    I remember your mom from when you kids went to school at Frankfort Christian Heritage with my kids, Bethany & Luke. She was always kind and always had a smile! We would run into each other throughout the years and always exchanged “hellos and how are you”. I am so very sorry for your loss! Prayers for your family.
