Alice, Joe, Becky and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Trina and I were best friends in high school and for many years after, but somewhere we went in different directions and lost touch. I have thought about her often, the fun we had together, her mischievous smile, and how she was there for me when I lost my father and also when I had my son. She was on my mind the day she went to God. She still lives in my heart. My deepest sympathy to all of the family. Sincerely, Sheila (Brenneise) Benzon

To Trina's family

May God wrap his arms of comfort around you at this difficult time. Trina was one of my friends at Trinity and even though I have not lived in Stockton for several years, when I think of my years at Trinity, Trina is always in those thoughts.
You are in my prayers.

To The Family of Trina,

I got to know Trina when we both worked at the Sheriff's Department. We had the chance to become friends for a short while, but in that short time. I will always remember Trina and the fun we had. I will also remember her as a kind and caring person with such a great exuberant smile & laugh. I pray that God will give you the peace that all of you need at this time. With much sympathy, Priscilla Conk.

"The world is always a sadder place when a true fighter in life loses a battle." When I think of Trina, I will always remember that she smiled no matter what day I saw her. Everyone I know will miss Trina dearly, but I will always remember her defiant smile, and while she has left us, wherever she is.. she most certainly is smiling.

I am sure there is sadness with your loss of Trina, but also great joy in knowing that Trina is at home with her Lord. Trina was such a special blessing and such a special gift from God. Having known Trina and her family from the early years at Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Stockton. Throughout Trina's illness she certai nly put up a good fight and the Lord saw that her work with us remaining was finished. I will be in S.F. with a medical appt. on the day of Trina's Celebration of her life service, but know that my prayers are with the family as well as my sincerest condolences. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
