It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Tina. She put her heart & soul into the schoolhouse/tearoom and loved hosting every single one of you that came through the doors over the last 13 years.
A family friend wrote a poem for Tina and we find it fitting to include here. A link to her Tribute Page is below as well. Please share any memories you had with Tina in the post comments below or on her Tribute Wall through the provided link.

In an old schoolhouse, worn and wise,
Tina welcomed friends with sparkling eyes
A pot of tea, a chair, a place,
And every guest was met with grace.
The kettle warmed, the laughter grew,
As stories flowed and friendships flew.
Within those walls she shared her heart,
And made each visitor feel a part.
Though now she's gone from earthly view,
The love she gave remains so true
Like tree frogs singing clear and bright,
Still echoing through the quiet night.
So when you hear their evening song,
Remember love can echo on
For in those notes, both sweet and free,
Lives a precious part of Tina's memory.
