Deepest Sympathies to you Samantha and the entire family. I know how difficult it is to lose your loved one and I’m wishing you a blanket of comfort as you begin to grief over your loved one.
So sorry to hear of your passing Tina. What a wonderful woman you were. Your thoughtfulness and humour drew so many of us to be around you and your soft spot for animals and small children was lovely to see. You fostered animals and relationships with vigour and embraced an incredible amount of sass. We sure miss you Tina and it is reassuring to know that you’ve welcomed your new destination with a resurgence of energy to go with all that sass. Much love to you my dear friend….Jacqui

Oh my god I’m so sorry Sam to hear about Tina. My heart is breaking for you and Tina’s family.
So very sorry to hear of Tina’s passing. We worked together at Guardian Security/(ADT) in Kitchener in the mid 80’s & were friends also. Tina was one of the funniest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. My deepest condolences to Tina’s family & friends.
I went to high school (Bluevale Collegiate) with one-of-a-kind Tina, and was part of the drama scene with her. Her magnetism was well-suited to the stage; I remember fondly her infectious humour and her wide smile. My condolences to her family and loved ones.
I am so sorry to hear of Tina’s passing. She was a bright light in our drama program at Bluevale Collegiate, full of comic wit and great charm. My condolences to her family and loved ones. She will be missed by all.
It was great sadness that I heard of my friend’s daughter passing. I did not know Tina but from reading the condolences, she was obviously a fine lady, friend, sister and daughter.
My condolences to all her family and friends. t
Sam, friends and family – my heart breaks, the tears fall, the memories are so real. I’m so sorry of Tina’s passing. I drove to our old neighbourhood – needed to see the homes we grew up in, the schools we went to, the places we hung out and the tears came and the smiles appeared. Tina was an amazing person. She will be missed. Treasure the time you had with her and keep the memories alive. Condolences and hugs to all who knew her.
Sorry for your loss Sam and my deepest condolences to you, her family and friends.
For all that you have been through together and the great support you were to one another was amazing and you were lucky to have one another for that support and care.
I wish you nothing but the best Sam and my prayers and thoughts are with you today. At the very least she is now at peace and living without pain, sorrow. Take care of yourself.
Dear Sam, I had gotten to know you through Tina and facebook. You two have had an incredible journey together. Sometimes I was laughing and sometimes there was serious tears. It has been wonderful watching your lives together. All the fosters and fur anyone could ever imagine happened like magic in your home. Sometimes there were babies and smiles. Always, always the love. Tina was a friend from my youth in highschool. She would show up every morning at my door to walk together to school. Funny, bright, cheeky and sweet. She will be sorely missed…but with warmth, smiles and a giggle of memories. xo
