My fondest memories of Tina are of all the bbq's & holidays we shared at Camille & Neil's house through the years. Tina would always make us laugh by remembering all the old time movie stars of the past and all the gossip about their lives. She will be missed. May you all gain strength in knowing that she is at peach with Jim & Neil.

Dear Louise, Jim, Camille & Family, My condolences are with you all. I have so many memories growing up next door to the Bassano Family. Our parents were good neighbors to one another! One expression that I use from time to time that she used to say,"Oh dear, bread and beer. If I wasn't married, I wouldn't be here." And when I do find myself saying it, I think of her. Love to you all, Phyllis
