Trina was such a remarkable woman. I am so grateful that my sons, Zach and Ryan, got to witness her impressive intellect and delightful humor. Her gentle kindness towards them will always be remembered, and I will treasure my beautiful memories of her. How fortunate we are to have known her.

So sorry that we can't be with you today but our thoughts and prayers are. Your mother was an amazing woman and an important role model for me. I'll speak to both of you later, but for now, Marvin and I send our love to all.

Aunt Trina was a wonderful woman. She was always very loving and positive. She clearly adored her family, and in turn was beloved by those around her. I always enjoyed spending time with her and learning about her experiences. She will be missed.
