My sweetest Tina. I miss you so much. It has been 7 years exactly never thought i would even survive one day without you. You meant so much to me and still do. The kids are so grown up. You would be shocked to see how tall Evie is she went past Annie and me and your Mom. She is so pretty just like always. Jake hes also tall. Hes into basketball. And very handsome. Yeah sports who knew right. Cindy is coming up to spend some time with your Mom she is very excited for that. Colleen never came back. Have you seen Steve yet. He struggled alot but for a short time. It was sad to see him go. But he finally got peace. it was sad to see him suffer so much. And fade away oh my he was so skinny. Your Mom is moving away with John and I ,Yeah threes company. Lol. The kids took the down stairs. Just sold the fridge today. We are going to the country and you know how happy i am. 6 dogs. oh the fun we have. Got Penny a good home. Raining out today. How is Mikie doing? I bet he loves it up t here too. Got your Mom a new car its a nice ride youd like it. Mikie wanted to keep your car even though he couldnt drive it he just wanted to sit in it and smoke and listen to music and think of you. couldnt keep it that had to go also. I miss Mikie too. You remember that petting zoo that we went to? Its right up the street here. We go by it alot. Yes i think of the both of you and i being there. I put apples out and the deers are quick to come get them. i want to get a pic of them. Got a new phone i know never thought i would either. I shake so much its hard to get good photos. The holidays are hard. Jake is in the 9th grade and Eve is in the 7th. Pretty soon they will be done with school and doing thier own thing. That makes me nervous. I worry about them. I pray alot for them. Evie did her first break in. No dont worry it was at her own house. She locked her self out no one was home so she went in the window in Jakes room. Crazy girl she reminds me alot of you. I love those two Cotton kids to pieces. but you know that. I am going to go for now. I love you. PS we all have a Mimosa now. The first one you have been watching for us has grown so big and done so well. <3

Dear Tina
          It's your Birthday. I wish you were here. My little family is getting smaller all the time. I guess you can see me from your seat way up there on your cloud. This day is always a tough one because your not here with us. You were always a big deal in my life. And you always made sure all the holidays and Birthdays and anniversaries were remembered and celebrated as much as possible. are you eating your favorite cake today? I hope so. Loving and missing you today like always. <3

I miss you so much. It hasn't gotten any easier. I know we all have to move on in life because as they say life goes on, but I take you where ever I go every day. Smiling today for you Boob. <3

Tina, I will forever carry you in my heart! Your perseverance through your cancer and positive attitude was a blessing to me! You were so strong and hopeful in the beginning! I will always cherish our texts, the inspirations I sent you, and you sent me. Our few calls we had and the chance I had to pray with you as you become week. With unforseen circumstances you seem to give up and lose faith. But, God seen all that and called a beautiful Angel home to be with him. No more pain or suffering. One day we shall meet.

Tina is not getting any easier here with out you. So many memories of you have been a huge gift to us from you. I miss you being our Santa at our house. I have been given a box of your sweaters. Going to the big E you always had to grab a sweater. Shopping over the Holidays we see so many things you would like and always one of us would point and say Tina. I wish you were here and all was good again. Tell Mikie he is very missed too. And take good care of him.

Tina this is a very difficult day to get through. It has been 2 years. I thought time would ease my pain but it has not. I miss you so much it hurts. I just want you back so bad. I have so many things to tell you and so much stuff for you to see. I feel as though I am lost and I can't find my way back nothing seems real anymore. It isn't a shock to me to be this way I knew losing you would be the most difficult thing for me. It's like being in a prison of heart ache that just won't let me free. I love you and that will never fade. I wish you could hear me I have yelled your name so many times. <3 me always Baby Girl.

Happy Birthday Tina! I met Tina on Facebook through my cousin Joyce! Tina and I had wonderful talks back and forth! I tried to keep her encouraged by sending her lots of uplifting poems, scriptures, praying with her, and just being a listening ear! I wanted to meet her one day because she was so uplifting to me also and caring! I got to pray with her on the phone and she had such a tender heart! I truly miss her, our talks, the pictures she would share, and her meek spirit. Love and miss you my friend! We shall meet again!

I always looked up to Tina when hanging out with Annie. She was like a big sister always looking out for us and always so nice. She is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met inside and out ! I remember just hanging at her apartment always laughing and just having fun really enjoying life ... she is a sweet special soul that will live on forever...

its been really hard with out you , i miss and love you dearlie

I will always miss you Tina. The more time passes without you the harder it gets.

I meet Tina through my cousin Joyce. Tina and I would text, I would share an uplifting verse with her or a funny incident. I would send her an inspirational prayer and she enjoyed all the positive things we would text about. Tina was always sweet and I had a chance to pray with her before her passing. I wish I would of known her here on earth but I will get that opportunity in Heaven. RIP Tina! You are loved!
