I am so sorry that you lost your mother. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. I am your mothers age and I, too,have five children. I know that she loved you five more than life its self. Her last actions, dying defending her baby, prove that. God Bless you all. You're forever in my heart and prayers. ❤

My heart aches for Tina's family. As the great niece of her grandmother, Ruth, I didn't know Tina as well as I would of liked. It wasn't until the 23rd that my family found out it was Tina that had been killed. Knowing this, my heart aches for the family left behind. I pray that the Lord will comfort her kids as well as my Aunt Ruth and cousins. Although we don't get together as family should, know that I Love you all and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Call me if there is anything I can do. With all our Love....Susan Mathews Disbrow, and on behalf of my father, Herman Mathews (husband of Ona Jean Mathews), Jana and Merri too.

As with many other people that knew Tina, I went to school with her, as well, in Galena Park. I will always remember how polite and nice she was to me. I will also remember the pretty smile she always had on her face in class. It saddens my heart that Tina has left this world, but my heart is comforted to know that she is now safe in the arms of our Almighty God in Heaven. My prayers and blessings go out to Tina's family. She will always be with you in your hearts and souls. Just remember that smile. *HUGS*

To Tina's family,
Our hearts and prayers are with you guys. May God's mercy and grace cover you like a blanket at this time. I know it is extremely painful for the family, just know that to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ. Tina was a exceptional mother and did what any loving parent would have done. She is the true meaning of "mother"
