Mr. Trott, what a shock you made to my world. You will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for being a great boss, great co-worker and very dear friend. I will miss you dearly at the luncheons, and trying to calm you and Hugo down. I am so very glad I got to see you on 2/14/2013, at the luncheon. We had a great day. You have been like a father to me over the years, I will treasure the memories. I pray that God will give Wanda and all you family comfort though these days. May we meet again in Heaven. I love and miss you. Oh, one last thing, thank you for all the pecans you gave me over these years. Love Cookie.
