Among her many talents, Tina was the soul of the A-to-Z challenge and an ardent supporter of the Insecure Writers Support Group. It wasn't until this summer that I got to know Tina better. Her attitude in the face of adversity is one I will always remember, cherish, and hope that I may be as strong when my time on this earth is over.
For those interested in showing their support this day, the Downey Education Fund has been set up to assist her two boys with their college education. Be it a dollar or more, they will appreciate it.
My one regret is I didn't know her as well as most, but I think she'd love this video I found in her memory. Here comes the sun, Tina!
I'm David, and you lived a great life, Tina. We will miss you.
She would appreciate the video!
ReplyDeleteTina was involved in so many things because she had a real love for people.
