My prayer is that God strengthen and comfort you and your family during this time. You know that I love you much and you have my unconditional support.

To you from me:

Not gone, Pops just moved on
To a better place, because he finished his race
Now on to his next journey, life of eternity pain and worry free,
So do cry, and let the sorrow release
But just know that you have 85 years of memories- that have stained your heart and are vivid in your mind-
Pop is not gone, he just moved on in time-

Luv you girl!

Dear Mitzi & family and the Cantrell family,
We thank you for sharing your father with us. One memory stay with us is he enjoyed outside just as much as you do. He would sit there peacefully watching his grandchildren play and listen to them chatter among themselves. He would also watch the guest at whatever event was going on that day. He enjoyed being around family and friends. You always took excellent care of him. He will forever live in your heart by continuing to remember all the fun things you and your father did together.

Mitzi,

My heart goes out to you and your family in the loss of your dad.

As you know, Trell was truly a friend to my family 25+ years.

When I think of the memories, I go back to the day I met Trell and how he always kept us laughing, signifying at something --

One thing for sure, he was a proud daddy who loved his daughter -- he would always say to me "you & my daughter work for the state and don't do nothing"

May you find comfort in knowing how much Trell was loved and will certainly be missed.

May God bless you and keep you in your time of need!

Love, Myra Hawkins & Family

Mitzi,
I am sorry for your loss. At this time words cant erase the pain, it takes time. You'll never forget your father as the memories will stay with you forever. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you will continue to be the daughter I'm sure he's proud of.
Praying God's peace for you and your family.
