Tina was the most thoughtful, kind woman I ever worked with. She was a giver, not a taker, and an expert at putting people at ease and bringing a smile to their faces, especially mine. She earned her success and did it by helping others, against the odds...I worked with her closely for 12 years and will miss her terribly. My heart goes out to her family and friends. She is in a better place now.

I was so sorry to read of your Mom's death. I knew her for years when I worked at St.Joe's and she was always a delight. The two of you proved to be true to her 'teaching' of the patient comes first. Mack and I learned that first hand when his Mom, Virginia Wicker, was at Azalealand. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Diana and Mack Teston
