March 17, 2015 at 1:43 pmTina was one of the most wonderful teachers I had the pleasure of knowing and working with at Bob Sikes. She was good with the students. Such a gentle person and so soft spoken. I have so many memories that I will treasure forever. I know shes at peace now and no longer hurting. I’m so glad she had someone special in her life the last three years. I know she was happy. RIP Tina, till we meet again.

March 17, 2015 at 1:45 pmTina was a very precious lady. I feel blessed to have known her. She had the sweetest spirit and a beautiful smile on her face all the time. We went to church together growing up, but I really got to know her better when she taught 2 of my children and what a wonderful teacher she was. She will be truly missed. One thing I can say is heaven has one special angel. My prayers are with the family during your time of sorrow. I love you all… May God give each of you peace during and after your loss of such a beautiful lady… God bless each and every one of you and I pray that each of your needs be met… God Bless…..
