On August 9, 2013, I wrote this note for Tina's family,friends and myself. I put it on my Facebook page. For those who do not have a Facebook page, I'd like to share my post: Tina, when I saw you today, it was all I could do to keep my tears at bay. The beautiful, happy person you were, has now been replaced with that evil "C" word. As I sat next to you for 3 hours today, I thought how in the world could he take you away. I tried to stay strong for as long as I could, but the strings on my heart, just kept being pulled. Your beautiful hair, your vibrant smile, you laugh that could be heard from a million miles. All lost and gone away, only a shell is what's left to remain. I pray for Bella, Chad and Justin too. I know you are all strong and will pull through. Jessica, Casey, Carrie and Richard too, don't think I have forgotten about you. To Kathy Solera, who has taken this hard, just remember what a special friend to her you are. As the days come and as the day's go, Tina, thoughts of you we will never let go.
