We who were friends with Tina would like to reflect some of the sunshine that she shone so brightly to us.
I knew Tina for about a year. I remember the first time I saw the name of her blog Life is Good, I thought what a wonderful name for a blog. I never knew that in the short time I had to make her acquaintance the impact she would have on my life. Her first ever comment on my blog:

This last picture is in the corner of my back yard. I haven't had the heart to mow it down yet. I'm sure my HOA will let me know when I need to take care of it.
The family has also set up the Downey Education Fund, which will go toward a college fund for Tina’s two boys. You can donate via PayPal here -
