My sincere condolences to the family. I remember Tina dating back to the rehab phase following her stroke many years ago. I was a caregiver while she was a patient in Riverview. I remember her for her indomitable spirit and her very dedicated family who were totally devoted to her and her care. She was one of those memorable people who make lasting memories. - Posted by: Linda Hebb (RN caregiver) on: Mar 26, 2015
