I still think of Tina often--wishing I would have been a better friend to her. She was amazingly strong, never complained, and a great trumpet player (even after 4 whiskey/cokes)!! Tina was unconcerned with what other's thought of her and was a unconditional friend to many--I admired that so much. Wise beyond her years...Tina will forever be missed.
I had talked to Tina within weeks of her dying. She was so strong and so positive about getting better! When I recieved the word I was with Lori Schultz, we were in shock, people our age lived forever. Tina was an inspiration to so many of us. I will never forget her.
