  3. You are so missed you are one of the best friends anyone could have. In our 40 year friendship there was never a bad word between each other, if anything we comfort one and other. You are always in my heart and your spirit will be with me forever.

  4. To our beloved Sister Ellen —–
    It was such a pleasure to have you visit us, in our home in the hills on the San Francisco Bay, for our 60th wedding anniversary. We were looking forward to many more visits in the future. We miss you already ,and will love you forever. —- Your oldest brother Ronald, his wife Inge, and their four adult children and eight grand children

  6. Praying for strength, courage, comfort, and peace for your family. You all fought the good fight and I am sure your mom is looking down on all of you with great pride because of the great care she got from her devoted family!

  8. I met you several times when you came with Braeden to belly dance:)….you now can watch over your entire family!

  10. Thank you for accepting me into your family. You were always so kind to me. You will forever live in our hearts!

  11. Pam, Jennifer, Jason and Monique and to all of the grandkids, I am truly sorry for the passing of your beloved Mom and Omi. I feel so very blessed to have known her. I thank God for giving my grandson a grandmother that loved him as much as I do. I know that your hearts are heavy with grief but take comfort in knowing she is in HIS care and free of the pain and suffering. Psalms 29:11—The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
    I pray that the Lord will bless each and everyone of you and surround you at this time with his everlasting Love.

  14. Thinking of you all and praying that the pain of your loss is soon replaced with beautiful memories.

  15. Pam, Jennifer, and families. I am truly sorry for the loss of your Mother. I don’t remember her very well, but I do remember her smile and her red hair. I felt like such an orphan for a while when my sweet Mama died. I would love to see you girls again and meet your families. I am sorry we have to have death to keep us in touch. Love you girls.

  16. Pam & Jennifer we are sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom i will always remember her working out in the yard and taking care of the peacocks. we now she will be missed but your memories of her will always be with you and your families.

  17. Your mother was a beautiful person, whom I had the privilage of working with at Finlay Jewelers at LS Ayres. She always made the world a better place to be. I will miss her hreatly.

  19. We send our deepest sympathy to the whole family. My husband, Eric, grew up with Jason – he is very saddened to hear the news of Tina’s passing. What a wonderful lady! We will keep the family in our thoughts through this hard time….

  20. Tina worked for my Father, Don Stewart, in Dunkirk IN., in the 1960’s. I don’t recall what year or how long she was there…only that she smelled good and was so kind to me and my siblings. We loved Tina. Years later, I ran into her at the Muncie Mall, told her who I was and gave her a big hug. My deepest sympathy to her friends and family. She was very special.

  21. With Deepest Sympathys. My Heart Goes out to all of Tinas Family. Especially to one of my dearest friends. Pam Koch.
    I Have So many memories of your Mom. So many giggles we have had. I still picture us out on the boat that Fall Day. It was the Best Memory of all. What a Wonderful time we had with her. Your Mom Sitting there with her ball cap on, at the front of the boat. She was so happy. Then pulling up in the boat to eat at the restaurant. So much fun. It was such a Beautiful Fall Weekend.
    Lloyd was so good to us. Fixing many of our meals. Especially breakfast. Your Mom was so amazed with him. I think she wanted to have him cloned. Ha! He treated us all like Queens. No one wanted it to end. I am so sorry we never got to do that again with her. I know we wanted to…
    She is up there now with my Mom. I am sure they are having alot of giggles about you and I. What a great Journey we have had together with them. I will miss her so.
    Love Nancy Bach

  24. Dear Pam & Family, Very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May God wrap his loving arms around your family at this time and give you the comfort that you need. Love Hugs & Prayers Kay Buckner Mullen

  25. Dear Pam & Family, I remember when I was in school my jr. high days. I use to spend every minute my mom would let us at the Dunkirk Swimming Pool. Tina was manager when we were going to the pool back then. I just use to be in awe of her…I wanted to be just like her…she was Beautiful….so kind to me and my siblings..Her toe nails were always painted the neatest colors! The next time I ran into her she was working at the Jewelery counter in the mall at Penneys I believe. I recognized her right away…even with her flamboyant red hair. I loved her style,and her personality. Anyone that got to spend anytime with her when they were younger…well she left some kind of an influence on them. She was great:) My deepest sympathies to her family xoxo K Buckner Mullen

  26. So sorry to hear of Tina’s passing. I worked with her at TK and have always enjoyed her company! She was always so much fun to work with. Was so surprised to see that she had passed. Just a few years back I drug her to a Zumba class with me. Always so full of life! Anytime I saw her we always had a good laugh together. I will miss her. Blessings. Kim Bond

  27. My deepest condolences to the family. Tina was a beautiful person and I remember her fondly. She was in Sorority with me many years ago when we lived in Dunkirk. May fond memories of Tina help with the healing process in your time of sorrow. God Bless You.

  28. Jen, Phil, Scout, Boone, and family,
    We will forever remember your mom’s red hair, bright fingernails, and beautiful jewelry, but more importantly the smiles (and sometimes laughs) she gave us! There will never be another like her! We still remember her entertaining us at Pizza King after the homecoming parade a few years ago. Keep those memories close. May they always comfort you.
    Love you all,
    Mike, Marla, Mariah, Maylie, Sherry and Mary Jayne

  29. So sorry to hear of Tina’s passing! Tina was such a delight to us when she moved to Country Village. She was always there for us and spoiled us and our daughters. The Christmas plate we leave cookies for Santa on each year is a special gift she gave us. She was such a giving, loving lady. She loved to be in the yard and it was a pleasure to visit with her outside on any given day. She loved you all so much. She will be greatly missed. God bless.

  31. To Tina’s family,
    My sympathy goes out to you. I first met Tina at Plymouth Church in Dunkirk years ago. She spotted my husband and I at the Cancer Center a couple of times toward the end of 2012. She always had a kind hello and gave us her best wishes. She knew what we were going through with my husband’s cancer. I want you to know how I appreciated her kind words as she was struggling with her own cancer. My husband passed away Jan 22, 2013. I pray for your comfort and healing at your loss of Tina. Tyrah Jerles Redkey, Indiana

  32. Peace and love to Pam, Jennifer, Monique, & Jason. Your mother was such a beautiful lady with such a dynamic spirit. I am so pleased to have know her & so lucky to have shared my two grandchildren with her. Her spirit will live on in you & your children. You are all unique & beautiful in your own way & she loved you beyond belief!

  33. Mom, I miss you so so much!! I can’t stop thinking about you…I find myself constantly on this site just so I can look at your pictures..you’re so beautiful!! I have you in a beautiful vase in my china cabinet so you are the center of attention when I look in there. I just stand there and look at your picture and the vase and cry wishing I could talk to you or see your beautiful face!! You did a wonderful job raising your children I’m so lucky to call them my sisters and brother!!! I love you so much!!

  34. Pamela, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. It was very nice seeing her last year at the anniverary party. It was nice being able to spend time with her. I am glad she is now in her new body, full head of hair, and without pain. She has come home to God and we will all see her again. Please give my condolence to your family, and God Bless.

  36. You girls took such good care of your Mom in her final days. She was a neat lady and I am sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers.

  37. Jen, Phil, Boone & Scout,
    Thinking of you as much now as before…your mom is at peace and in no more pain…I will remember her for not the pain she was in recently but for her “spunkiness” that she had when she would visit you at school Jen! And how she was always so fashionable! She will be missed but she is at peace now…Jason, Missy, Brady & Kaleb

  38. My heart goes out to Tinas family, I was Tinas hairdresser for about 12 years, she was fun, spunky and an amazing friend, when she first found out of her sickness we sat down and had a good cry together, she was a strong soul and I find peace in knowing she went to be with her Grandson whom she missed with every ounce of her being. I love you Tina and will miss you.and I know you are up in heaven with a full head of the prettiest red hair you ever seen and a sassy cut, spikey of course….but most of all “No More Pain”…Until we meet again MY FRIEND….

  41. Mom, I think about you everyday all day..I miss you so much…Life is really hard without you. Happy Memorial Day!! Ich Liebe Dich

  42. There are no words to describe how much I miss you. I pray that we will be reunited when my work here is done. I love you mom. Always and forever

  45. Mom, we finally had a memorial for you yesterday July 10, 2013. Everyone was there…we met at your favorite place..Heidelberg. Jason, Brooke, Jasten, Aubree, Pam, Jennifer, Boone, Scout, Brayden and myself..even Tyler’s girlfriend showed up. We talked about a lot of memories. We laughed. We cried. We looked at pictures.
