Tina Rose Clayton was born in the east end of London on the 28th of August 1960 to parents that wasn’t really parents to her and her younger brother David. She spent a lot of her time with her great Aunt and Nan where she really experienced unconditional love.Tina was disowned by the rest of her family when she entered a relationship with Daniel Alexander who was of a different ethnicity, in the late 70’s early 80’s this was much less common or accepted.Tina had two girls Macala and Rachael prior to her relationship with Daniel Alexander which he took on as his own and then had two children of their own Wesley and Charlene, many years passed and Tina and Daniel got married becoming Mr and Mrs Alexander, they lived life together creating many memories until Tina’s last day on this earth. Tina’s life was very short lived but also very compacted with the unconditional love and memories shared in the 62 beautiful years, God truly blessed us with one of His most beautiful Angels to call Wife, Mum, Nan, grandma, sister, friend who’s legacy will live on through Her husband, their four children, their 16 grandchildren, their 6 great grandchildren and her brother David. Tina had a heart of gold and always put others before herself right up to the day she took her last breath.Tina was still sorting out her last bills to be paid, arrangements for a fundraiser for St Joseph Hospice and even her own funeral, she even did her own eulogy to be played at her funeral, such a strong, amazing, inspiring, beautiful human being. The staff in the hospice was always respectful, supportive, patient and attentive no matter how demanding Queenie (1 of Tina’s many nicknames) got in the end. Tina had everything she wanted and the (doctors/nurses) allowed for us as a family to spend quality time with our loved one, as short as it was they made it as pleasant and as comfortable as could be.Tina and Husband Daniel both spoke about fundraising for the hospice as it is of both of their natures to help others and to give to those who need help, we are a family lead by God to do what is right in life not only for ourselves but more so for those around us. Tina was given the all clear of cancer a few weeks before giving her testimony at her son’s baptism on the 20th of May 2023 and also gave her life back to Christ by getting baptised with her son and Daughter in law Dominique which was so important for Tina’s next part of her life journey. Tina’s faith was rock solid right to the end and nothing meant more to her then doing right by Jesus. She told us she could see Jesus in the distance when she closed her eyes but He said it wasn’t her time yet,Tina’s faith never changed not one little bit, no matter what she went through she never doubted God once, she never said “why me?” she believed in Gods promises and was happy to go
 
 home to be with her Lord and Saviour.Tina sewed a seed of faith in many people’s hearts throughout her life but through her death Tina showed the definition of a true woman of God,Tina asked everyone to rejoice and celebrate her life and not to mourn her death,Tina’s faith gave a lot of people hope and some even a reality check that anyone can change. 16th of July 2023 was the last day we spoke, hugged, kissed or took pictures together, Tina told us that Jesus was walking towards her now and it was her last day with us here on earth, a few hours later about 01:30am 17th July 2023 her words became a reality, as we prayed and spoke to our Wife/Mum, we watched her take her last breath as she heard a voice telling her to go be with her beloved Jesus and it was done. It was like a scene out of a movie so sad but so beautiful at the same time, for those in faith believe that we will meet again, which was Tina’s message she left behind for all to hear at her funeral she planned, where everyone celebrated Tina Rose Alexander’s beautiful and Inspirational life, “Wear bright colours and rejoice for me like you’re at a wedding, rejoice for me like I will be in heaven with all the angels”. All of Tina’s funeral plans were met and it was the best send off ever and much deserved for such a pure and beautiful, faithful soul. We love, honour and miss you so much and never will that change , may you rest in peace and the Lord protect you until we meet again.We would like to thank St Joseph’s hospice for the online tribute page and also the memorial leaf plaque on the tree of life, which is dedicated to our late Wife/Mum it is always nice to see pictures and nice comments people make about our loved one, thank you all so much once again for everything you have done for us as a family, we appreciate and are so very grateful. May God continue to bless, guide and protect you all for many years to come, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Yours sincerely
The Alexander family
