    I watched Nose and Tina, and then I HAD to know more about where Tina ended up. Thanks goodness for this film! Now I want to know how she is now. Her son, Jason had so much good advice for her, and being in some of the same situations she was in I think that that was so helpful and probably helped her feel a bit better. Thank you Norma for making this. I fell in love with Linda's spirit and sweetness.
