Wow! What a void my friend leaves….She was a warrior in the best sense of the word. I loved her passion! She influenced me greatly in how she met her challenges…I salute her life! What an example of ‘fighting the good fight of FAITH!’ The Lord has welcomed her into His kingdom! Bravo Tina! To her family, may I extend my heart-felt condolence. May our God comfort you at this time with HIS peace.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Mboyamba familly. I met Tina in 2006 when she was referred to me as a new client. I sold her condo in Temple Hills MD and helped her buy her townhouse in Waldorf. From the beginning I loved her spirit and her energy. For someone who was dealing with ChemoTherapy and the affects, she did not complain and she was just happy to be. We immediately became friends. Through the years we would speak and get together and it was not until I went to her 50th birthday celebration that I fully understood the true person she was and how much Tina had gone through in her very short life. My heart is sadden to know that such a person is no longer with us but I guess God also need good people with him. I will miss Tina but my sister in Christ we will see each other again one day.

Our world lost a true light… I met Tina at Tulane School of Public Health. She always showed me love and support in all that I experienced in my life. She showed love for my children, my husband, me… I pray that in Heaven she has all that she was not Blessed to have here on earth. She deserve so much more than she ever got and I will forever seek to be a fraction of the woman she was…
