My heartfelt condolences to Jim and the family. I have never met anyone like Tina. During the time i worked with Tina I found her to be totally selfless. She truly wanted what was best for her coworkers and was usually the driving force in successful initiatives. Her enthusiasm was contagious.

I had tremendous respect for her personality and professionally. She was a positive influence anywhere she was. 

i will always be grateful for things i learned from Tina.

To the Brookes family, please accept my deepest condolences. You are in my thoughts during this difficult time, and I’m wishing you comfort, strength, and peace. Although I only had the chance to meet her virtually, she still made a meaningful impression on me. This past Super Bowl Sunday, we were able to celebrate in a small but special way through shared photos, thanks to Jama and Alex while on the other end, I watched the football game at home with my grandpa. Even from a distance, that moment reflected the kind of warmth and connection she inspired. From the stories Jama shared, it was clear how kind, genuine, and loving she was. I was truly hoping to meet her in person one day and get to know her better. It meant a lot to me that she would ask about how I was doing, even though we had only been connected through passing messages. That speaks so much to her character. A thoughtful, caring, and deeply compassionate mother. She was clearly an incredible person, and the love she gave will continue to live on through all.

I'm so sorry to hear that Ms.Brookes is gone. She was full of life and always so nice to me whenever she saw me. Every time I saw her it was always filled with laughs, hugs and happiness. I'm going to miss her very much and she'll forever be missed.

Dear Jim,  I was deeply saddened to hear about Tina’s passing. I have such warm memories of the happiness you brought to each other—it was always so evident how much love you shared. Although it’s been a long time since we’ve seen one another, I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I’m sending you love, strength, and comfort in the days ahead.

I am so sorry for your loss. It had been a few years since I talked with Tina but I still think about her often. She was like a sister to me and we spent so much time together until we got to high school & band was the only class we shared. We worked next door to each other through high school & I would spend my break visiting her at work. We were in each others weddings. I tried to call her about once a month when she lived in Indiana. I went to visit her there a couple of times. I feel as if I failed as a friend as we got older but I will always love her and remember her fondly.
I know what it is like to lose a spouse and a mother but I can't imagine losing a daughter.
The void she leaves will be felt by everyone that was in her life. I pray that God will comfort you in this time of loss.
With a heavy heart
Robin Pennell Ellis

I use to work at Hildebran Medical Clinic back in 2018 and that is where I met Tina. She was one of my favorites. 2.5 years later, I moved within my company and worked in Rutherford college, and little did I know Tina followed me there. She said no one could draw her blood like I could. She was very dear to me, and I always loved chatting with her. It’s been about a year since I spoke to her, and I hate that. We had lunch dates, and time just slipped away too quickly. I will always cherish the memories I had with her and she truly helped me get through some tough times in my life. She was the best at giving advice. I pray for you all and I look forward to the day when we see her again!

Tina was always a shinning star when it came to working with our family many years ago and has remained a good friend. Her passing is such a great loss and will be forever missed ! We are better people from knowing her and having her in our families lives over the years . Condolences to her family and all that loved her!
