Tina

Yesterday we attended the funeral for my cousin's wife who died at age 46 after spending 120 days in intensive care. Her struggle was remarkable not just for the extended stay but also for the radiant smile Tina flashed throughout the worst of times. I heard that the Doctors and nurses (many who were present yesterday) wept when she died (felled not by her defective heart but by a bacteria which her weakened system combined with modern medicine could not fight) She leaves three teen aged boys and her husband of 21 years. It was appropriate that yesterday DC had the darkest, gloomiest weather we've experienced in months...it matched the feeling in the hearts of all who knew and loved Tina. Many thanks to all of my loyal Klaradal friends who offered support to me and Tina's parents (who stayed at Klaradal)through these past few months.
