Scott Schlichting, love ya for accepting Keoki Mellor as your own....there are not many women or even men that would do this. You are the second man in my life time that has done this. And I love you son in law for being there for Keoki Mellor. I know this is saying motherhood but it should also say fatherhood.

Mom, you called for me. I came as quickly as I could. I knew you weren’t feeling right. This was an uneasy experience because I couldn’t help. I could only watch and try to comfort you. You called for me. I sat and held your hand. Stroked your face and hair. I still feel your warmth. I felt that our window closing. I called to you... “Mommy, I love you” you opened your eyes trying to focus on my voice. You finally said “ I love you” and you puckered your lips for a kiss. In that moment I felt the defeat. I cried hard and quiet because this was a moment I never wanted to come. I felt in my heart that this was the goodbye I couldn’t accept. As the day moved on and the family gathered I stayed close to you and kept your hand on my cheek as I’ve done so many times before so you could feel me and I could feel you. I worried so much about not remembering one day how your hand on my face felt. I remember taking a walk through the neighborhood right after we were told you were letting go. It was a beautiful day. I pictured us together and I imagined you telling me it was okay and you were ready. I found comfort in this and soon after you took your last breath. I couldn’t run or rush or panic. I just walked in the same pace back to your side. I grabbed your hand and listened to your heart for the last time. I was devastated to see you go but I know now you had too. I will never be ready to let go. So I won’t. You are with me always. I feel you everyday. In my tears, laughter, decisions...I am your daughter. You are my strength, my fight, my courage and more than words can describe. I wish so much for more time. More of everything. All we shared. I know you are at peace and I’m trying to find comfort in that. I love you so much and I will see you again. Please watch over us and help guide us as we try to live without you. I love you so very much... your baby daughter

Tina was a true fighter despite of her illness she had her fears, and self doubt, some times she felt like a burden not only on me but as well as her kids and husband. We always made sure to tell her she wasnt a burden that we all loved, cared, and showed her it was okay to receive the help she needed. I absolutely loved and enjoyed the time i had with her absolutely everything i saw in her, the way she talked, smiled, laughed was a huge reminder of my Grandma that passed away 5 years ago. My heart is extremely heavy and feels shattered right now. I will always Cherish the times we had and your memory will live on forever. We all love you Tina and will see you again.
I also wanna say Thank you to her family for accepting me and trusting me to take care of her. I am forever grateful that I got to really know your mom and wife. I Love You guys so much.🙇♀️🙏💔❤

It's utterly heart breaking about the news of my auntie Tina McMinn Scannell Tina Scannell passing away after battling ALS.
i have NO words to comfort my family including my mom and uncles losing a sister...everything sounds cliche especially saying them to my grieving uncle James L Scannell and my three amazing cousins James Scannell Rebecca Scannell Acacia Schlichting
My auntie was a BIG part of my life growing up..along with my siblings and other cousins. Her front door was always open, her advice was always honest and her laughter was infectious.She had many names; mom, wife, sister,friend, auntie and apo..no matter what you called her she was utterly AMAZING and loved by many.
I know in my tattooed heart she's with my maw maw, papaw and uncle Donald Ray McMinn. I ❤ you auntie

As I was talking to James Scannell last night, I came to realize just how I'm still in just...shock. Like I know we knew this was coming because that's the only outcome of this disease but there was a part of me that just thought some sort of miracle cure would come in time for her. Here was a fantabulous woman I had met many years ago while working at Incredible Pizza that could just run circles around those more than half her age. She was always so feisty, I just loved working with her so much, as well as her brother. Over the years we went from friends to family and I'm just so happy for the time we did have. I love you Tina Scannell you will be greatly missed.

I was the eldest daughter and my sister was number 4 and "baby" daughter (3 brothers followed after her) out 7 of children which our parents had. Wow..we were a mini mob way back then.
As we were growing up, Tina was an active and energetic person. Infectious smile and laughter matched her smart-ass wit. Gifted to us from both parents, of course, or did we all come by it naturally? My sister swam in the ocean or pool, did not matter, since she made it look easy and was like a fish! As children, we rode our bicycles all over the neighborhood, had skate boards and skates, cars of our own, argued with each other (you know the normal kids in family stuff). Then...we grew up. Tina married a loving-kind man, had 3 thoughtful and funny children. Oh...nearly forgot..throw on those grand babies. My Darling, Loving and Pretty Baby Doll, that Mother brought home to me when I was barely 5 or 6 years old, had gotten to the point where she felt horrible in more ways than you could imagine. Depression is a terrible thing for anyone to experience or go through,yet, Tina was and trying hard to have a cheerful smile, be brave, strong for her family regardless of how she really felt. She wanted them to feel good about things and not be stressing.
So Dear Sister, you are now with the family already there, I figure and enjoying the company of family, and possibly a few friends. I am so Happy For You. I wanted to be selfish...There was the 2 of us girls in this family against the 5 brothers. Just Know I am so Happy For You. Please be at peace with this and know that ... Yes I Do Love You Something Awful and Will Miss You Terribly, Tingaling, my baby sister. Your oldest sister Jan

I met Tina and her family about 29 years ago when I moved into the mobile home park off of Rufe Snow in Ft Worth. Tina and I instantly connected and were always hanging out by the pool with all the kids. I had 3 girls (1 was mine by birth the other 2 by marriage) around Rebecca and Little James age and a son who wasn't yet a year plus I was pregnant. I can remember many sleepless nights hanging out with Tina playing cards. I remember Tina trying to teach my son how to say Acacia's name. After several attemps he finally said "Caca" and we laughed so so hard.. And yep that named stuck with her.
Tina was also with me my entire pregnancy with my youngest. When I went into labor it was Tina who grabed her camcorder and rushed me to the hospaital. That was the Saturday night before Labor Day 1992. When we walked into the L&D floor we didn't see anyone around but a newborn in his little baby roller crib behind the nurses station. We looked at each other and shook our heads NO. A nurse came outta a room and said "you must be Dawn, I was just getting your room ready." I went ahead and let them check for dialation but I told Tina I didn't want to stay there. Thankfully she agreed with me and when the Dr told me it's a holiday Sunday take this green pill to stop your contractions and go home and come back Tuesday to be induced. I was happy to leave. Tina took me back home and a few hours later she talked me into going to the HEB hospital ER. So off we went. I was rushed into a room and Tina and I sat there playing Skip-Bo until the ER could get a OBGYN to get there. I had my son on Labor Day and the first thing Tina said to me when I woke up was "He looks like a Turtle" so my sons nickname is still Turtle to this day. And Tina picked out his middle name "Michael".
There are so many more memories I have with Tina and I will cherish them all.

The one and only time that I have ever "toilet papered" a house was with Tina! She took us to the store to buys lots of tp, we were giggling the entire time! She drove us to the house in her Jeep and helped us cover as much as possible! She gave me tips on how to throw it the right way. She was such a fun lady! I always thought of her as the "cool mom."
I am so grateful to have known her and find some comfort in knowing that I will always see her in Acacia's smile.
