"Where do I begin. We met through ?Hats? my brother and who would of ever thought we would be best friends. We shared so much. We know where to hide something or nobody else could ever find it it was our secret. I remember when we told Moms and Pops that you were out of school just so you could come shopping with us when they would visit. I can?t believe you are gone I miss you every day. Until the very last minute I held on to the grasp of hope that you would get better. I will always love you my best friend. "

"This young lady was so amazing. During my 19 1/2 years at St. Mary's, she was my go to person at the Credit Union. She never forgot a name. Her smile was infectious and she always made each customer feel special. I absolutely adored Tina "Beana" is what I affectionately called her. I saw her a few years when she was first diagnosed. She was still a "bright light" in a world of darkness. Take your rest my friend "Tina Beana." You will truly be missed. I will pray for Comfort for this family. "

"Tina, what else can I say, girl? You were such a great friend back in the day, and a HUGE part of a most interesting ?youth gone wild?! And most of all, you were my little sister?s best friend; a sister from another mother! You?ve enriched all every life you?ve touched, at least those of us who knew your true value. Alas, the world will be a slightly dimmer, sadder place without your presence. You will always live on however in all of our hearts! Love and respect always, Krisha and Mike ?"
