  1. So sorry for your family’s great loss! Tina was such a funny, sweet person and wonderful coworker and NICU nurse. She was always ready with a smile and a big bag of potato chips. 🙂

  2. Tina was a sweet person, fun to work with as we had the same sense of humor. A loyal co-worker, we’d helped each other out on numerous occasions. She will be missed!

  3. My condolences go out to Tina’s family. Tina was a sweet, generous and all around great person. She will be truly missed.

  4. I’m at a loss for words. From experience I know there’s no words that I can say that will make this easy for you. For your children that are left behind I feel your pain I too have lost my mother. For the brothers and sisters and family members left behind I’m so sorry for your loss I wish I could ease your pain. Hector, you are a joy to me. You and Tina were my friends when no one else was. I will always remember this young lady full of life and love and her ultimate sense of humor that was always on point, funny and hilarious. You will surely be missed Tina rest in peace.

  5. Tina was an incredible nurse and I loved working alongside her. I will always remember her for her sense of humor and never ending snack supply, both of which helped keep our stressful workload a little lighter. Praying for her beautiful family.

  6. Loved this sensational lady. Tina was such a delight and fun to work with. God gave us memories: so let’s all use ours to think of her often. This message is sent to Hector and all Tina’s family with deepest sympathy.

  7. Tina was one of the first or maybe THE first friend I made when I became a nurse 10 years ago. We had some crazy shifts together some pedal to the metal, and some fun as hell. Whatever they threw at us, we had each other’s back. My favorite part about Tina was how much she loved to tease people. She had a quick wit and sense of humor that had me in stitches for my 12 hours. To her 3 children, know that she loved you all fiercely and you were always bragged about, and worried about. To Hector, a nurse and friend I’ve known just as long, I know your time together was short, but it was just as fierce. I really hope and pray you find peace. It isn’t fair or just, but it is what it is. The world is going to miss Tina and have a little less laughter for sure. Love and prayers to you all. Suzanne

  8. So deeply sorry to hear of Tina’s loss. She touched so many of us with her kindness and I will never forget that big beautiful smile of hers. She was a wonderful dedicated nurse who will be missed by many who worked along side her and knew her. To her family, I send my deepest condolences for your loss of a mother and grandmother. May God give you strength during this time, and the knowledge that she was regarded by so many for being such a valued and good person to all who got the know her in her professional and her personal life.
