Tina ❤️

​Gone too soon, our dearest Tina. Her smile was truly contagious, stretching from ear to ear, no matter what the day brought. She walked with confidence, head held high, acknowledging everyone with a genuine smile in her eyes. It was a smile that conveyed she had finally released the fears that had held her for so many years.

​She's no longer physically with us, and we're left with so many questions—how, and why? But despite the unanswered questions, we sit here now, unified in our grief, shedding tears, and committing to keeping her precious memories alive. This is her story, and we want to honor her legacy.

​Many of you know our mom moved back down south after our beloved Jazzie Lee passed away ten years ago. That loss was devastating for everyone, but especially for our mom, who had to find the strength to carry on for herself and for us. She rebuilt her life down south, navigating the immense pain of living without one of her children.

​She worked tirelessly, never giving up, pushing through every emotion on life's roller coaster. Tina adored her family, found joy in her plants, her oils, incense, and natural products. She was a natural fashionista, with an unforgettable smile and a distinctive walk. Her energy was genuine, and her aura was always inviting.

​After years of fear, tears, sweat, and hard work, SHE DID IT! Three years ago, she proudly bought her first townhouse—one of her absolute proudest moments.

​This unexpected tragedy has left us not only in deep sorrow but also with significant financial distress and uncertainty. Any donation, no matter how small, would be profoundly appreciated as we navigate this difficult time.

​With so much love,

​Steph/Janelle and Gary
