To the family of Trenean. May God continue to provide you comfort as you remember all the awesomeness that she was. I know you miss her and wish she were here. I find that what helps me cope with my mothers passing is to keep her memory alive in my conversations. I tell people about her all the time who never even knew her. They feel as if they have known her forever. Keep talking about her and how she blessed your life. I am a Mayrite and my mom, Mrs. Tregre probably taught her at SMA. I remember Trenean. She was about three years ahead of me. She was cool and funny. Nice to me. God bless yall.

Here is what you helped me become... a professional educated young black man!

Like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye. Gone to soon. Shiny, sparkly and splendidly bright. She was born to amuse, teach, inspire and to delight. She was here one day, gone one night. We will miss her smile, humor, friendship and her "sistah girl sass." She will be forever in our hearts. God looked down and said "come my child and I will give you eternal peace and rest." Joyce, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the children. If there is anything I can do, just know I am just a phone call away.

You were an inspiration, motivation, and were admirably dedicated to your children, mother, brother, family and friends! God makes no mistakes...and you were truly made in His image...pure greatness! Your mother has so much to be proud of and you will always be remembered through your beautiful children, as their successes will carry on your legacy. It was indeed an honor growing up, learning with and knowing you my Maryite Sister! Until we meet again...Heaven is even more beautiful now that you are there!

I am so very sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy and you and your family are in my prayers during this most difficult time. Although I have not seen you or Trenean in many years, I remember both of you fondly. I remember your delightful personality and how you welcomed me when I became your co-worker (OFS) fresh out of college. I also remember Trenean as an adorable pre-teen with a beautiful personality just like yours. I know that she will be deeply missed, but I also know that God now has a very special angel looking after you and your family. Look to God and know that those who loved Trenean hold you all close in their hearts.

She was a beautiful, funny, strong and caring person who I consider to be one of my best friends that I've ever had. Losses like this can make us challenge our faith; however, this is the time when our faith needs to be the strongest. Joyce, Brian, Brandon, Alyssia, and Zahrria - My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. She will be missed, but she's with the angels now and her memory will be eternal.

I feel so blessed to have had the privilege of knowing Trenean. She had an infectious personality. She met no strangers. To know her was to love her. She was a strong woman of God, who always had time to encourage others, even when she was dealing with her own "IT'S" (as she would called them). She was ready to get past the illness, and God chose to call her home. I will forever cherish the memories I have of her. Sis. Clark, Brandon, Alyssia, Z, and Brian, just know that she is whole again, and she is really getting her praise on now!

Love,
