Oh may gosh, I was thinking about Tina today and thought I would look her up and saw her memorial. I knew her Tom and the kids back at Faith and New Life in the 80's. I am so sorry for your loss

Auntie Tina there are no words that will ever be able to describe the impact that you have had in my life and the life's around me. You were an angel sent to me growing up, guiding me and strengthening me through the challenges life threw at me. The love from you and your family has truly been a blessing in my life. Thank you for being the arms that were always open, but most of all the arms that were always filled with joy, hope and love. The love that you offered to family, friends, and children is how I will remember you: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails”

"When we lose someone, we tell them not to cry, that life will still go on without a reason why. If God were to come down from Heaven and see a lone tree fall, I know He'd say its okay and its the love that we recall. God wants us to remember all the good times that we shared. Tears don't erase the memories, they remind us they're there. So don't stop yourselves from crying over someone that you love, as long as you remember that they are safe up above." My prayers and love to the Perez family - I loved my Aunt, your mom very much - she will be missed. Love, Sharon

Aunt Tina, so many memories of you flow through my head I think about our long conversations we used to have after my mom died, lol I would clean my whole house and have a sweaty ear before we hung up. My heart is happy for you because you are blessed being in God's presence but my heart hurts for uncle Tom your the love of his life and your kids andz grandkids they meant so much to you and you to them. I know time helps the healing but you will never be forgotten. Give my mom and gramps kisses.

Tina you were a loving daycare provider for my children for 16 years and I cannot believe you went to heaven a day before what would have been Jack's 16th birthday. My heart is full to know you are together but sad that you are gone. I love you...we all do. Thank you for loving my children so much. My entire family sends our love to the Perez family.
