In the summer of 2010 Tina broke her leg falling down some stairs. She had previously had problems and past surgeries on the foot on the same leg. Complications with the metal plate placed in her leg caused infections and more problems for her. She had another surgery to remove the plate and was receiving IV antibiotics which she went to the hospital daily for. October 3rd, 2010 found her once again at the hospital for her treatment. After telling the doctor about some problems breathing and some other concerns they began different tests. Sadly as they were bringing her back after an ultra sound Tina passed onto a new life.  She was on Earth just a few short years, and was taken from her family and friends much to early. She will be missed greatly by her two children, her husband, parents, family and friends. But we can take solace knowing that she is no longer suffering and in no more pain.

Thank you to her Mother Evelyn for providing me with the information needed to write Tina's story!  ~Stephanie Bedard
