let me tell you a little about Tina...

[dajoki]

her father left her mother with four kids when tina was a baby. she had to have her leg amputated to the hip as a child because of some kind of illness, she grew up poor and could only afford a wooden leg. my two daughters have been friends with her since childhood and she has been working with my oldest daughter at the shamokin hospital for a while now(my youngest daughter lives in florida). after her divorce, Tina worked very hard and put herself through nursing school. she finally was able to get a prosthetic leg. she also found a great boyfriend who treated her kids as his own. how sad her life had to end so tragically. i hope her ex gets what he deserves. thanks for listening. O8) i know she had good benefits from hospital, i just hope she had a good life ins. policy for kids sake. they are starting a fund for the kids at the hospital.

1. It's a sin that a woman who's gone through so much growing up ...

has her life end when it's finally getting together for her. If there is a heaven, she is there.

2. You know, I hope to hell that man

who left those children parentless (lets face it, he couldn't have been a good parent), is found and given exactly what he deserves. I really feel for her kids. Such a tragedy. Again, I am so sorry. :hug:

5. Why do the good ones die young?

:cry:

She sounds like a wonderful woman who rose above so much, and finally found a bit of happiness. I just feel sick for this poor woman and her kids.
