This memorial website was created to remember our dearest bettina marie stelp who was born in Canada on July 12, 1982 and passed away on August 25, 2005 at the age of 23. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.

  This is the first time i have lost someone so close to my heart,tina and i have been bestfriends for 6 wonderful years.nobody should ever have to experience the heartfelt pain that drowns your entire being when you lose someone you love more than anything in the world.tina was the most kindhearted bestfriend anyone could ever ask for.

  She was always there when you needed her and she never judged anyone for anything.her beautiful smile,her sweet voice, her generosity,her sensitivity,and her outgoing personality are just a few of her remarkable strengths that made tina the strong independant being that she was(and still is) greatly admired for.

  Tina had the ability to light up the room with her presence,she is loved by so many people all over the world,i cherish the memories i have of tina,i am honored to have been blessed with her in my life.

  It has barely been 1year since i lost my bestfriend,not a day goes by that she is not on my mind,some days are harder than others.every once in awhile i feel her with me,and i take that wonderful feeling and i hug her right back.

not only do i have great memories of  my bestfriend but now i have a truely amazing angel to watch over me..I LOVE YOU BABYGIRL-XOX

  It is hard to beieve it has been 3years since Tina has passed. Some people say time heals all wounds..but that has yet to happen here.You never truely understand or appreciate what someone means to you until they are gone forever.I go through many different emotions when it comes to Tina,sometimes when i look at her picture or when something reminds me of her,i smile and i go through our memories in my head.Thenthere are times when as soon as i think about her or look at her picture or hear a song that reminds me of her I cry and cry.Tina was and continues to be a huge part of my life, but losing her has left me with great emptiness inside.

  I often find myself talking to her(i believe shes listening) I am always wondering what she would say or do when im in certain situations. I know she is stil here in spirit and i will always have our precious memories and I am very thankful for that. I would give anything to hear her voice or to see her beautiful smile again.♥my beautiful butterfly angel I love you♥

  I am always asking myself "How could God be so cruel?" and the only answer i can come up with is that he needed her more than i did.I am very grateful for when Tina visits me in my dreams..although we dont always speak to each other she has spoken to me twice on two seperate ocaisions. I am always appreciative for her visits. I do wish they would last longer and happen more often but I know she has many other people who love her and miss her deeply.

  Tina you are very special to me, as much as my heart aches for you it loves for you more♥
