When grief strikes
a parent, there is no end to it.
The earth parches, its glittering waters
gone.
Everything is barren. Cattle starve for
lack of grain. Nothing grows.
Even the gods are destitute, even the
altar flames blow out.
Such is a parent's grief, bitter and
endless, for their lost child.
~Homeric hymn
for Demeter, modified by S. Kleisley
This
site was originally created to help find
Tina Marie McQuaig, who had been missing
for nearly 3 years. Sadly, on December
26, 2002 Tina's remains were found in a
wooded area, the obvious victim of a
homicide. Tina was not only a precious
daughter, but also a loving wife, a
nurturing mother and a beautiful young
woman with a sweet personality.
What
We Know
On
March 15, 2000, Tina, age 27, was
reported missing after failing to return
home from work. Tina clocked out of work
at Shands Hospital in Jacksonville
Florida at 4:50 p.m.
Four
days later on March 19, 2000, Tina's car
was found in the parking lot of a
Wal-Mart in Jacksonville.Tina's husband
and (then) five year old son, along with
her parents, brother and numerous other
relatives and friends, showed tremendous
strength and determination as they
desperately waited for any news. Nearly 3
years later, they at last know that Tina
fell victim to a homicidal maniac.
What
We DON'T Know
Who
would do such a thing to a beautiful
young daughter, wife and mother ? WHY ??
These are questions we may never know the
answer to, however, someone out there
knows something. PLEASE, if you
have any information at all that might
help lead to the arrest of Tina's killer,
I urge you to call the Jacksonville
Sheriff's Office at
904-630-0500.
My
heart goes out to Tina's parents,
husband, and her young son while my own
heart is breaking in two. You see, I have
come to love Tina's mom (Linda) as my own
sister, even though I had only known her
for 1 year through the internet. Just
recently (March 2003) I had the honor and
pleasure of finally meeting Linda and her
wonderful husband John. I love them both
dearly. While I never had the pleasure to
know Tina personally, I feel as if I know
her through Linda and have come to love
her as a daughter also.
Please
look around this site, view the lovely
poems and sympathy gifts sent, perhaps
send a quilt square to be added to Tina's
quilt, and please do sign the guestbook.
Above all, please pray that God will
grant this family peace and comfort, and
bring her killer to justice before he can
harm anyone else.
Out
Of Grief & Loss Comes Love, Comfort
& Help For Others
Shortly
after Tina's disappearance, Linda (her
mother), amidst her own tremendous pain
and grief, founded a non-profit
organization called Families
of Missing Loved Ones
and has worked tirelessly ever since to
help other families in the same
situation. Please do visit the site and
help in any way you can. They could use
help in any form but are also desperately
in need of monetary donations. Your
donations are tax-deductible, so please
do give if you can. Thanks so much !
