To all of my cousins & all who grieve the loss of the most wonderful Aunt I knew. She was the very first image of what a mother should be to me. I was 5 years of age when I first came to know this wonderful Aunt. She took me in and treated me as if I were her own. For the first time in a long time I had a real family. I lived with this wonderful family on and off for several years, at different stages of my life. Thank god, for I may have never really known what a real family was suppose to be like. I have all of you to thank, and all the great memories of real love at a very early part of my life. And yes I remember it as if it were yesterday. My Aunt Tina left me with so many memories to cherish for all the days of my life. I will miss her dearly, however I will always have her in my heart, because that is where she has always been. Now she lives in a better place, and I know someday we will all get to be with her once again. Wonderful thoughts of her and all of you will live with me always. Thank you Aunt Tina for letting me be part of your life. your neice, Carol Ann
