Dear Tineke I just found this about you, because I was searching the name Angeldrup, and then I found you. For many years ago I wisited you and Betty, and I felt very welcome because of you. Now I think you have met with Betty again, and my dear grandmother, Betty's sister Else, who past away only two month before you. You wil all be remembered by me and my family in Denmark. Rest in peace. Kind regards Maiken Wang Larsen
I remember Tineka as a larger than life individual. She pioneered heading CPRI's adolescent dual diagnosis unit for boys, a first in the province. She ran a no nonsense unit, but her tough but caring personality served as an anchor for the boys and staff. Later as the outpatient nursing supervisor, she guided worried families through the complexity of procedures. She never hesitated to voice her opinions to administration all to benefit the patients and families in her orbit. Her family will be blessed with beautiful and vivid memories
