Oh Tina, you will be missed. Each Friday morning, I looked forward to working at the DeGolyer house because I knew you would be there. We laughed and talked about everything from our youth, our families, our travels and your weekend escapades to local watering holes to listen to music. You shared gifts you created with the Friday morning crew: The heart shaped tea bags you hand sewed; the Christmas light bulb filled with spices; and the thank you cards printed with photographs you had taken to name a few. But on Friday, March 13, 2020 we were told to lock down the DeGolyer house due to COVID 19. That was a sad day and now even sadder with the loss of you. Carry you in my heart. Love you, Lana

Dear Young sons and family -
While I had not yet met Tina, I knew what a beautiful woman she was thru Molly and her friends.
Then with Phillip’s moving remembrances I learned what a lovely mother she had been while weaving the “tapestry” that became your lives.
I feel blessed to have been present at her service thru streaming, and pray God continues to bless your family always.
Prayers continue,
Ralphana Barnes

Tina, Molly, Vera and I enjoyed many coffee mornings solving the world's problems, sharing family news, funny stories and supporting each other in life. Her laugh, her positive attitude and the fact that she put a piece of chocolate in her coffe will always be fond memories. Prayers to all the family. Tina will be missed. 💞🙏🏼

I am blessed to have known such a warm, loving and beautiful woman. I worked with Tina as a fellow volunteer and as her coordinator/manager at the Arboretum. She was such a wonder person to work with. Tina was so dedicated to the garden and to the State Fair of Texas. I would love it when I was visiting the fair and I would run into her out there. I will miss you so much Tina.

Tina will be missed by all of us Dallas Arboretum Volunteers. She was very dedicated to her volunteer work at the Arboretum. She was the first person that I worked with when I started at there in 2014. She taught me a lot about the wonderful DeGoyler House at the Arboretum. Rest In Peace Tina.

Tina was a wonderful cousin. When she would come to visit my parents, through the years, she always was ready to help cook or help with whatever needed to be done. I loved that she loved to visit both my parents. And, even after my daddy went to heaven, she’d visit my momma, Molly. That made me happy. Tina & mom (Molly)loved to have their visits together & with a group of other amazing women & friends, Vera, Lollie, Mary, Aunt Cookie & many others. They all supported one another. Tina loved a good glass of wine & I enjoyed having a toast and a cheer with her, whenever in town visiting. Her love for the Dallas Arboretum matched the love my mom also has, for the Arboretum. It is such a beautiful place to visit and so good for the soul. Tina would light up, whenever sharing stories & information about this piece of heaven on earth. She was quick to help & always support others in need, even if she didn’t know them that well. Tina, I will miss seeing you & your smiling face, in momma’s house. Cheers to you, prima. You are where we all want to be one day, in the most beautiful place, in heaven. Our human minds can’t even begin to imagine how glorious the view. You are with the love of your life, once again. And, you’re with your mom, dad & so many family & friends, who have passed before us. Please say hi to everyone, for me. And, if I could ask, would you please give my daddy a big hug from me, my momma, brother & all of his family & friends? Please, pray for us, Tina. One day, we will see you in heaven. Love you, Tina. Rest in God’s heavenly peace
Love, Esther (Leanos) Rangel
