To Valice, Nate and James, l cannot form enough words to let you know how sad l was to hear of Tine's passing. We all grew up in Greenhill Missionary Baptist Church and I have many fond memories of her. She was always caring, had a smile so kind and willing to help others. I know you will always love and miss her along with her church family and friends in Pamlico County communities. I will always love and miss her as well. May God comfort you help you all to get through one day at a time. We are praying for you and your family, Ron and Sally Garrison Fields
My dearest cousin Tine, I Love you and miss you. May you Rest In Heaven, Love Always Bam and Tony

Dear Aunt Tine , I just want to start by saying thank you and I love you. I appreciate everything you did for me growing up. Although at that time (I was 15) we didn't see eye to eye as I grew up I realized you really had my best interest in mind I was just to stubborn to see it at that time. Over the years Aunt Tine our bond was so tight . Every time I came down I made sure I had to stop by your house to see you and to just sit at your table where we shared many meals, memories, love and laughter. I am truly going to miss you Aunt Tine. Love always , Carolyn( also known as Jibby)
Condolences and prayers are sent your way. Always family. Constance (Taylor)

I can't find the words to say.I can say this cousin Tine has been in my life for a very long time.I remember when her and my cousin Odell would be in my presence and I didn't know his name was Clifton Odell. All I knew was Odell. So much love given to me all my life. Time to rest cousin Tine. Family you are all in my thoughts and prayers! Christine Moore
To the Carmen family there are no words that can truly express the love I have for Clementine aka Tine. She was my oldest daughter's first God-mother. She took her and cared for her like she had birth her (that was until Muh and Debra took her haha). I will always love and appreciate your love and kindness. I love you guys dearly. Lillian Burley-Guion
Sometimes there are no words to express your heartfelt condolences and sorrow. How does one put the loss of a lifetime friend and neighbor into just a few words? Impossible. However to the family of Tine, know that I loved Tine and I love you; and God will give you the strength to move on and make Tine proud to have been a positive part of your life and mine. Love,Peace and Blessings, Charlotte Clark Turpin (Chinchilla!)
