Tina had a special love for wild things in nature. A hummingbird stayed late one autumn and Tina made a little box with soft things and placed it in a safe place behind her house. It survived the winter with her help. A beautiful Ruby throated hummingbird as a companion for a beautiful compassionate lady.

She received many blessings from her many walks on Morris Island.

The family appreciates the caring support of the Hollings Cancer Center and especially, Dr. Carol Sherman.
