My heart goes out to Helen and her family for the loss of Troy. Troy was very much a part of our family when he was growing up. He was full of adventure, always had a sense of humor and was full of spunk. Many a night he would have dinner with our family, and Friday nights were spent popping popcorn and watching movies. He was always helpful in setting up the old VCR back in the day! As he got older, the time spent was less but he would still pop in once in awhile just to say hi..there definately was history between our family and Troy. I'll always remember the precious days of the spunky little boy riding up on his bike with a big smile on his face..just waiting to be asked to come on in.
Troy leaves behind three beautiful children (one being my grandson) with a future of hope. My prayer is that God will be with each one of them..blessing them and keeping them safe.
Love and Prayers to the family.

To my dearest family something i live to say but first of all to let you .know that i arrived okay im writing this from heaven.here i dwell with god above. here theres no more tears of sadness here is just etemal love. please do not be unhappy just because im out of sight. remember that im with you every morning noon and night that day i had to leave you when my life on earth was through god picked me up and hugged me and he saidi welcome you its good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone. as for you dearest family they be here later on i need you here badly your part of my plan.theres so much that we have to do to help our mortal man god gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do and foremost on the list was to watch and care for you and when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight. god and i are closest to you in the middle of the night.when you think of my life on earth and all those loveing years because you are only human they are bound to bring you tears. but donot beaffaid to cry it dose relieve the pain remember there would be no flowers unless there was some rain. i wish that i could tell you all that god has planned but if i were to tell you you wouidnt understand. but one thing is for certain though my life on earth is over im closer to you now then i ever was before .there are meny rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to clime but together we can do it by takeing one day at a time it was always my philosphy and i'd like it for you too that as you give unto the world the world will give to you if you can help somebody who is sad and feeling low just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go . when youre walking down the street and you got me on mind im walking in your footsteps only half a step behind and when its time for you to go .. from that body to be free remember your not going your comming here to me

Troy,

We pretty much grew up together you and I. I remember the innocent days and those I will hold close to my heart! Over the 28 years that we knew each other our paths have crossed several times...some good...some not so good, but the one thing we did right... is Trent! May you rest in peace with your grandma, grandpa & dad.

Helen..you and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers.
