  1. May God continue to comfort and guide you during this difficult time; and may the “peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your heart and your mental powers”. Philippians 4:7.

  2. Tina was a great godmother with wisdom and knowledge beyond her years. She had the kindest heart of all and she would watch us, and teach Justin and I like we were her own. I last spoke with Tina on Valentine’s day to call and tell her I missed her and loved her. My condolences to Rob and the family and I love and miss you all.

    • Darius, you held such a special place in her heart (and mine) and was SOOOO proud of you. She always spoke about you with great affection and unyielding love.

  3. My prayers and condolences to the Merriweathers. Tina had been like my mama at times and my sister. I called her Boss Lady because she is going to tell you how she would do it no matter what it was. My 2 boys were like her own boys. They loved going over Tina’s house.
    She was a happy smiling bubbly beautiful person. She will be greatly missed.

    • Thanks Gayle, she will be sorely missed by so many. You two had a good long run of over 25 years.

  4. Penny/Greg and family, Very sorry for your lost! You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. With Love Jimmy & Family

    • I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support that you provided as a friend of my in Laws. We appreciate it.

  5. Praying for the family God give you strength and peace of mind in your hours of sorrow in Jesus name.

    • Thank you Earl, for bringing me into the fold back in the day, for being a gracious host for all of the years past when we visited, and for transporting a group of loving family members to the Life’s Celebration. Again, I thank you.

  6. My deepest condolences go out to the whole family. Have faith knowing she is in all his glory now, but still watching down on you. Find comfort in those beautiful memories you have with her and use those to help you through this difficult time. Lean on each other. Although you may not be able to see her, those moment you think of her, or feel her or something reminds you of her…. that’s her way of saying hi. May God bless her soul.

  7. She was one to light a fire in me Always, and I could Always light a fire in her.So may she have celestial peace.

    • Sister dear, she was THE ONLY woman that I brought home to meet my family who could match wits with you. You two became kindred spirits and I get a downright belly laugh just thinking of the two of you together.

    • Thank you Tonya, next Thanksgiving is gonna be lonely in the kitchen without you and Tina talking while cooking. LOL

  8. Penny/Greg and family,
    Very sorry for your lost! You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
    With Love
    Margaret George

    • Margaret, I’d like to thank you for being there, not just for your close friend, but for US by extension. This was a very caring gesture and I am grateful for your support.

  9. To the Merriweather family, I offer sincere condolences in your loss..Prayers go out to all of you at this time. I do hope it comforts you to know that others care, even though we don’t know your love one I do know the pain that death brings. At times like these the grief and feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. May our great God sustain you at this time.

    • Thank you Brenda for your wise observations and your prayers. They do not go unheeded. We do indeed find comfort in knowing that one’s who did not know this loving soul personally would take the time to provide solace to one’s in grief, and we offer our gratitude.

    • Thank you Orlando for being a Buddy to my son and lending your support as we take a knee in sorrow. I say HOOAH!

  10. I leave this with love it’s not much but it’s what I can give.. Aunty Tina I love you dearly I just always remember you having the brightest smile and always being just so loving and affectionate 🤗 😘! I’m going to miss that smile and getting a big warm hug whenever I would see you.. Rest in paradise you earned your spot in heaven 😢.Tell my Grandmas Aunts And Uncles I said hello and to continue to watch over us 🙏🏾

  11. I will give them a crown to replace their ashes, and the oil of gladness to replace their sorrow,
    and clothes of praise to replace their spirit of sadness. The I will be called Trees of Goodness,
    trees planted by the Lord to show his greatness. Isaiah 61:3

  12. Tina (Teenie Weenie, as I call her) was more feisty and bold as anyone I know. She would take on anyone who stepped out of place. Some of the stories she relayed to me, would have me cracking up, most of the time my husband would say can you all hold that down. We would spend time on the phone for hours reminiscing about the ole days. She never forgot any of her childhood friends and the moments spent with them, she would often ask me, do you remembered a certain person (most of the times I had no clue) I would grab my class book off the night stand just to put a face with the person who she was telling me the story about. She cherished her friendships, especially Wanda, Lucy, Gail, and Barbara, just to name a few. She was clearly a DIVA and Fashionista, always dressed for the occasion. She was very particular in regards to her style, no one I mean absolutely no one could have the same outfit as her, it must be and had to be one of a kind, and I am not exaggerating; I don’t even know the name of the boutique where she had to get her outfits from, she never told me the name and that was on purpose. She was a loving mother and grandmother. She was stern, and protective of her boys and especially her girl, she always wanted the best for her children. She often spoke of Ronnie, Shawn, Avery, Robbie, Tynetha, Tyron and Derrick, of how proud she were of the young men and woman, Fathers and Mother they have become. There is nothing more special than that. I am going to miss my sister, however, I know she’s in a better place, home with the Lord; I won’t say she’s singing because that wasn’t her gift, but I know she’s happy. So family and friends let’s all share in that happiness with her….Blessings…Cookie

  13. To the family, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the knowledge that God promises to eliminate all the things that have plagued mankind for centuries including pain, suffering and death (Revelation 21:3 & 4). May these promises from God give you comfort now and real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy. Please visit jw.org for more information about God’s trustworthy promise of the resurrection.
