Thank you for everything you did for me when I was younger, Tina. You were an inspiration to go to college, to move out on my own, and to learn that it was my responsibility as to how I turned out. I think I did pretty well, but you were a big factor. Thank you for the dorm sleep-overs, the plays at XU, and the support.
ReplyDeleteYou will be so missed...I hope that I can do for Maggie and Tricia as you did for me.
Love you,
Amy

Dear Tom,
ReplyDeleteYou may remember me from the Kenton County Water District. Christina and I worked together for awhile. I remember her telling me how wrapped up in March Madness you could get trying to watch all the games using 2 TVs. I could tell she cared about people and I was always pleased to have her on our staff. The last Christmas card she wrote told me about Mary Middleton's death of which I had not been unaware. Christina always seemed to me to be a very kind and caring person. I can just imagine how deeply she cared for you and the children. I live in Michigan now and I will not be able to attend the Visitation or the Funeral. Please know, however, that you have our deepest and sincerest sympathies. May God give you and your family inner peace.

To the Family,
ReplyDeleteIt was a joy to know Tina and to see the meaningful activities she developed for her young Cub Scouts with Pack 495 at St. Philip's. I had worked with her in January and February and marveled at the quality development projects she created. She has left a legacy with the boys she touched. It was sad, but also a blessing to meet so many of the family at her visitation. My prayers are with you all that your faith will sustain you during the days ahead.

Tom,
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me but I am Tina's cousin. We lived down the street on Martini Rd. I grew up with Tina and she worked for my parents. I always knew she would make many people's lives better. She was such a wonderful and loving person. I know you will miss her but just remember she is always watching over you and the kids. God is taking care of her now and she will be watching over all of you. Just take a deep breath and you will get through. God Bless you and your kids.
Love Always

Dear Ben and Peg, Steve and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of your daughter. I am so very sorry; I remember meeting Tina many, many years ago when she was still very young in the days that I lived in Cincinnati. One wonders why these terrible things happen, but we must continue to trust in the Lord and His goodness. May He comfort you and yours during this difficult time.
