I have know Tina for years through Dr. Matt's office.  She was the nicest person and I always looked forward to talking to her. I am so sorry to hear about her passing and I send my heart felt condolences to her family.

To Tina’s Family,
We knew Tina through her work with Matt and Mary at the dental office. She always impressed by being one step ahead, by her easy mastery of dentistry and superpowers as an organizer. But most of all, she was a strong, trustworthy, and kind person who will be missed by all. Sending prayers and our heartfelt sadness at your loss.

My family was lucky enough to know Tina through our dentist's office.  She was the perfect first impression for Dr. Bolamperti's office!  She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and funny.  We both had a son named Nick who lived in our basements, so we joked about that!  =)  I loved asking about her granddaughter and she would happily show me pictures of her. 
She would put us at ease when we were nervous about having a procedure done.  When my kids went to their appointments from school, I didn't have to worry about my kids forgetting to ask for a note for the attendance office, because Tina was so efficient and would automatically give them one.      
Even though I only saw her when I was at the dentist, I felt like I really knew her and that I could call her a friend.  She will be missed by so many!  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dr. Matt and his staff, and Tina's family.  She was the best!

I was an exchange student from Ukraine that Tina’s family hosted in 2015-2016. This was one of the best times of my life❤️

My dear American mom. I am so incredibly glad I got to know you and be with you. What a miracle it is that I found specifically you in another part of the word. I truly believe that you are my soulmate and our souls were meant to be connected. Even though I’m not your family by blood, but in every lifetime I will always find my way to you❤️ 

You have made such an impact on me. You were and always will be the BEST person I know in this world. I can’t wait to meet you again. But while
I’m here, I want to find new ways to communicate with you ❤️ I hope I will find them because I cannot imagine a world where I cannot talk to you.  

I will love you forever and always. 

Thank you for everything, mom❤️ Until we meet again 🙏🏻

If someone a year ago were to have told me that you'd be gone from this world soon, I would have asked them if they were crazy. What I will always admire is your ability to unconditionally accept everybody, including me. You've allowed me to live a life growing up alongside your amazing children who I wholeheartedly consider my siblings. I had many questions about things, and no matter the subject, you answered as thoroughly and honestly as you could. When I had to face my inner demons, you knew what it felt like and helped me to keep them at bay so I wasn't alone. With all of this in mind, however, saying goodbye had never crossed my mind, but you reminded people that positive change is possible, and I'll be forever grateful for your guidance, empathy, and endless love. 

Tina,

you led by example, so strong, confident and respected by everyone. I see you in each ray of the sun, every twinkle of the night sky.  I feel you in your kids' kindness and hear you in your granddaughter's gleeful giggles.  I feel you in the air around me, every gentle breeze.  I am so thankful for every moment I've had with you.  You were the brightest light in all of our lives.  I love you so very much and I will miss you until I see you again. 

I love you Tina. I always have and I always will. 

Tina, you are one of the beautiful people in the world who only made it better for everyone else.  Your wisdom and support helped me through so many life crises.  I have so many memories: Getting kicked out of the mall because we were trying on hats and lingerie and taking pictures in the dressing room. All your trips home that we planned so that we could surprise Becky and Sue - and the looks on their faces when you and baby Amanda came through the door.  Amanda's first Christmas with my family.  Visiting you in North Carolina and California and Nebraska.  Taking your kids dumpster diving for boxes.  I remember the day you met George (I think it was a Walmart parking lot?) and thinking - how many people just gravitated to you.  You were like the sun, pulling others toward you and keeping them warm.  I Love You and will miss you forever.  

Christina Was one of my many nieces and nephews.  I just always remember her smiling all the time,  and she loved to be in pictures.    Such a sweet girl!
I love you Tina!   Teese



I had the great pleasure of seeing Tina's happy face every time I visited the dental office.   Her beautiful smile, gorgeous hair and kind spirit warmly greeted everyone who walked through the door.  We seemed to have many commonalities in life so we often swapped a few stories.  I loved it!   I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear Mother, Sister, Daughter and Life Partner.  She will be greatly missed in this world.

We hired Tina as our office administrator 8 years ago, she quickly became a dear friend. Tina always put her biological family first, but we feel like our dental family was a close second. Matt always told her she could easily have been the dentist…an extremely smart and gifted individual. God has just received a fantastic CEO and he couldn’t have chosen better! Love you always, Tina. 

Tina, you were my first friend when I came to America. We just "clicked".  My whole childhood is just filled with memories of us laughing and playing. We were never bored. We had huge imaginations. We would spend all day long just pretending to be anything we wanted! I could re-live those days forever.  You held all my secrets and were one of the only people to witness my childhood.  You are half of me and I don't know how I'll ever get through this.  It didn't matter how much time went by if we didn't talk.  We would just pick up where we left off and didn't miss a beat.  In adolescence you were always the first at everything.  You showed us how it was done...with poise, grace, and dignity. We never had to be afraid because Tina knew exactly what to say and do to put us at ease. You had such a way with words.  You could give us advice that maybe we didn't want to hear,  but we knew you were always right and always had our best interest at heart. I could talk to you about anything.  So many times already I have thought of something I wanted to ask your advice on, or something I wanted to reminisce about and it's no longer possible to do that.  I will miss that the most.  I know my soulmate will always have my back.  I just wish I could talk to you right now. I know you are at peace and that makes me happy.  I will never forget you and am looking forward to the day when we meet again.  We are the master of our fate and the captains of our souls.  I love you forever.  

The laughter was endless at work. Her  laugh and smile were contagious.  She was loved, admired, and respected. Tina was truly one of a million. 

This is beyond devastating, such a beautiful soul. For all of us that have a fear of the dental experience and the regulars, Tina ALWAYS, went the extra mile and told us, "Probably sounds like a lot, but it is all going to work out well, it will be good."  Then she,
would explain the procedure at a high level and how it would go. Then ask, so can you do this on (and give a date) and you would,  cause she led you there and you didn't even have time to think about it, because she earned your trust at the first encounter her with you....she was so good. Some may say great, I know I would. 


Tina's wisdom, humor and unconditional love for others made her one of the best friends you could ever have.  She was a soulmate friend.  She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten by all who had the privilege of having her in their life.  

The best woman to walk the face of the earth, I love you more than anything and miss you so so much, mom. Thank you for always making the world a better place. 

She loved her children and grandchild more than anything.  She always put them first. She was kind, smart, selfless and generous beyond measure.  She left a legacy. She left words of wisdom.  She will be greatly missed especially by her children. I love love mama.

Tina was a wonderful sister who helped me so much.  I love you and miss you dearly.



She's the most beautiful woman with a smile that would brighten your day. 
I love and miss you so much ❤️ 

We met her once  while visiting our daughter.
She was a kindly person and  a good friend of our daughter.
Was   saddened for  her family and our daughter  too over this.
She  passed  much too soon.
