To Kenny, Kerri and Kirk, this is late in coming buy I'm so sorry for your loss. I did not know some of these details about Tink but I do know that she was a really good person. There was one time though that I got really mad at her and didn't like her and sad she was a meanie! And it took me a really long time to get over it because she hurt my feelings and made me sad. She took marilyn and Carolyn to Florida with her and would not let me go. At some point as I grew older and guess I got over it and loved her for the wonderful person that she was. She was always a kind and helping person, especially to my family. It was always a treat going to her home. I remember many times seeing Tink work out in the pastures with the animals and driving the tractor and thinking wow! And I always loved Kenny Kerri and Kirk, i dont know why i just always have. Guess because they were part of my life growing up! I'm sorry I missed her service. May she rest in peace and may you all find peace in your hearts. Love you all Bug.
