    Words can't express how sorry I am in your loss.I went all thru school with Trena.We sat together in 4th grade & kept bumping elbows cause she is lefty & i was righty. We fell outa touch after high school then ended up working together for a few years while she was getting her nursing degree. She was always ambitious & happy. It was infectious. I will miss her greatly & all of you are in my thoughts & prayers during this time. She deserves to be in our saviors glory & I know she is waiting for me to show me all the glory that is our reward for accepting & following his word.

    Dearest Peggy,Buck and Family,I cannot begin to express my sympathy of your loss of Trena. So many times I have seen Trena in my mind Singing. What a blessing she was to me, as were you,Peggy. We don't always understand God' ways. But the one thing we know is that God doesn't make mistakes. He looked down from Heaven's portal and knew He needed to make Heaven a little brighter. And How His glory always shone on Trena's face. Family, please know that Trena will forever be alive in our heart's and memories. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding today and the day's to come. You are in my prayers. With deepest sympathy. Carolyn
