When there was a long weekend, she would invite me to the beach where she and the kids were staying. Never asked me for a cent. I was just hitched to her star. Then she always talked about getting away from everything up in the Smokey Mountains. And within 2 years I got her to marry me. One of the greatest accomplishments in my life. Then we added the Smokey Mountains to our winter vacation as often as possible. Tina made all of these things happen. Farewell my darling Tina, whose soul and spirit are in the presence of the Lord in heaven! To one whose beauty through each changing year is yet unchanging. And through whose eyes I have seen the light and the right. My light when all else was darkness and uncertainty. And whose companionship shone with a gentle luster for all that is good and bright. That shines ever for me in the paths of truth and happiness: My guiding star--My Wife Robert Fitzsimmons
