Frank says, I will always remember Tina as an articulate, authoritative, and reassuring voice for thousands of Central Georgians every night. I will remember her as a kind, caring, and compassionate person who respected other people, even when that respect was not always reciprocated. I will remember Tina as a mentor to many people. I would rarely walk by her office and not find someone sitting inside seeking her counsel on everything from work to relationships to family matters. I will remember her as a gifted anchor and I would always marvel at how she could take words printed on a page and turn them into thoughts and feelings and emotions that made people care about and trust what she was saying.
