Tini was my childhood best friend—the kind of friend you grow up with, not just alongside. We met at WinShape Camps in elementary school and spent so many summers there together, counting down the days until we’d be reunited again. In between, we begged our parents to let us see each other, holding tight to a friendship that never faded, no matter how much time or distance passed.
She loved Jesus deeply and lived that love in the way she showed up for people. When life felt heavy, Tini was always someone I could turn to—steady, kind, and full of grace. She passed away in 2016, but her presence and impact are still very much alive in my life.
Tini is a big reason I chose to work at KinderMourn, supporting grieving children and families walking through unimaginable loss. This Duck Race team is created in her honor, as a small way to continue the love and care she poured into the world.
If you’re able, please consider donating ducks in her memory -- thank you for helping me honor Tini and support families who need hope most.
