Tina my AGO Sister, I was wondering why an image of you popped into my mind a few days ago. Its 5 years now but seems like yesterday.
I remember when you and your husband show me some personal kindness, it was at Ricky Beauchamp´s funeral at the AGO church. I arrived via public transportation and sat in the back of the church. Afterwards i met you and your husband outside the church grounds by the cemetery. I wanted to continue on to the reception after Ricky´s funeral but had no way to get there so i started to walk to get the CTA bus. You and your husband stopped me and offered to let me accompany you to the reception. I was so touched by your kind gesture and it gave us plenty of time to catch up on everything. After the reception you guys gave me a ride to the CTA train so i could easily and expeditiously arrive home.
This kind gesture allowed me to converse with more AGO home-kids and Ricky Beauchamp´s family! So you see the smallest act of kindness can mean the world to those in need. I was also able to keep in touch with you on FB and via texting from time to time up until your untimely death. God bless you Tina, i surly do miss our "small talk" conversations we had from time to time. God Bless you and your husband. Love, your AGO bro Mario

Tina,
So we say goodbye cause you left too soon and I know it's hard and we'll be missing you.
I know the road, has worn you down
You never broke, you always held your ground
But now it's time to say goodbye
I know we'll meet again but I wish it'd never end
You don't mean to make us cry but it's so hard to say
Goodbye
Someday we'll meet again
'Cause that's how the story goes
You don't mean to make me cry but it's so hard to say goodbye Tina
Goodbye
Your AGO Brother Mario
