I was so upset when this happened cause Tina and I were best friends. I remember Tina, me and Lane in English always passing notes and goofing off and it made the teacher soo mad. We were so close that year and yet she had so many problems. I wish I could have helped her. I remember the note she left in my locker and it didn't say anything about what she was doing but that she loved her true friends and wish she wasn't always having problems with people in school. I didn't understand where she was going with the whole thing but its sad that schools and kids don't change over the years even still. My girls go through the same problems too. Anyway I still have pics of her that we took in class with some of you in the background. I will cherish them forever. She was a sweet and beautiful girl and a wonderful friend. Always selfless. She said she wanted to be a lawyer when she grew up. I would love to have seen that. I loved how short she was and now my daughter is short too so its fun. Tina loved her fingernails polished too. We would do them at lunch. She loved red. I always bit mine off back then. She would get mad at me and slap my hand if I started biting a nail and say "quit or I will paint them anyway and you will have spots for nails" I loved her very much and miss the short time we had together as friends. I know those of you that knew her miss her too.
