No more worry, and no more tears.
No more sadness, and no more fears.
Only love, and only smiles.
No more pain, and no more trials.
Only laughter, and only glee,
Prayers of peace, I send for thee.
You're in my memories, you're on my mind,
I close my eyes, and you I find.
A blessing from God, you are to me,
A part of my heart, you'll always be.
Walk with your parents, where you belong,
Just visit me, through a song.
I bid you adieu, until we meet again,
Greet me when I die, as a niece, and as a friend.

I will remember Tina with good times with her and her family. From the time she moved next door to us in Ravenel. She was so silly and easy going. I can see her actions and hear her laugh now. Great memories!!

Gone too soon, loved by many.
But she dances now with her parents and M'am and Pop. Until we see one another again.
God Bless
