Christina DiRienzo stretched an acre lot into a farm, with a vegetable garden, three goats, a rabbit, stray cats, and a spread of red flowers to attract hummingbirds.

"Oh, she loved the hummingbirds," said her mother, Patricia Pina of Wareham, Mass. "Tina was a farm girl, a worker. She'd get out there and help Russell build a fence, drive tractors, everything."

Russell Tripp Jr. was her boyfriend. She lived in Plymouth, Mass., with him after separating from her husband about three years ago.

Her two sons, ages 17 and 15, live in Wareham, Mass., with their father. "Tina," as she was called, often saw her children and loved them deeply, Pina told The Boston Globe.

Pina is mourning the loss of another daughter, Theresa Rakoski of Taunton, Mass., who was with DiRienzo at The Station.

The sisters' friend, Kristine Carbone of Taunton, also died.

Thursday was usually "card night at mother's," Pina said, and often included a spaghetti dinner. Last Thursday was different -- the card game was canceled because of the Great White concert.

"She looked beautiful that night," said Tripp, who did not go to The Station.
