Family & Our Many Friends,
What a Mighty God We Serve to have given us our beloved Uncle Michael for 55 years. He shared the talents given by God to all who needed him and we will be forever greatful.
As I look back over our life he grew up with his older neices and nephews, so while growing up we remember him as mostly a quiet and sometime shy person. As we see thoughout the bible God chose to give special gifts and blessing to the ones He thought worthy. Uncle Michael was blessed to be one.
Jesus told us He came to this earth to serve not to be served, thank you Uncle Michael for your service. Jesus also told us what we do for the least of our brothers we do for Him. Thank you Uncle Michael for what you did for everyone.
You showed love to your family and friends by interacting with us all.
Thank you God for Michael Patrick Trotter.
Neice

To Our Family.
We will all miss Michael very much. He contributed a lot in all our lives. When I look around in our home, Kurt and I can see the love that Michael put into it. He never did a half job. He always gave his best. I have this tract "WHAT HOPE FOR DEAD LOVED ONES? This tract is where I get my comfort.
Job (Job 14:14, King James Version) asked "If a man die, shall he live again? How would you feel if you knew that a reunion (Resurrection) with our loved ones was possible right here on earth under the best of conditions?
The Bible makes the promise: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up." And the Bible also says: "The righteous themselves will posses the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." Isaiah 26:19; Psalm 37:29. I have real confidence in Jehovah's Promise.
I am looking forward to seeing my family members: My father, grandparents, daughter, uncles, aunts and many cousins. This will really be a family reunion.
This is my Uncle Michael's night. I was reading what "Eknath Easwaran" said and it made me think of Uncle Michael "Live your life in a manner that never infringes on the happiness of anyone". Michael did just that. I have so many memories of Michael to hold on to from Springfield, Massachusetts back to Jacksonville. Michael was my youngest uncle but just like a younger brother.
I have confidence in the Resurrection Hope. I am looking forward to see Michael along with our other family members.

Everybody worried about Uncle Edward, and God call Uncle Michael just maybe God needed a Good General Contractor in heaven. "Maybe"?

To My Family (The Trotter Family),
God blessed us when he placed a man with such dignity and self-worth in our lives. It is truly an honor to have been related to such a respected and loved man. Our memories of Uncle Michael's sense of humor and straightforwardness will never be forgotten. We hope that you are taking it easy on those folks in heaven and not being too hard on them...LOL
We Love You, We Miss You, and We will meet again at "The Property" in Heaven.
From Your Great Niece

No more bills, no more hard times that we go through in this physical life. I believe the Lord is now using Michael's talents and skills to help build those beautiful mansions he promised us all.

Dear Gigi, You know how much I love you and I must say it was such a pleasure haveing met Michael. The Lord allowed me and my husband to meet a good man that we had no ideal would soon become one of his beautiful angels. (Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted (matthew 5:4).
With that said Gina cry for we all knew how much you loved Michael and the Lord knew also but we are all here on borrowed time. May the Lord bless you with the strength you need to get through such a trying time in your life.
Just remember the sun will shine upon your face again and you will smile knowning that someday you will see him again. We Love you and the Lord Loves you too.

Well another solider has been called to glory to do Gods work. It just does not seem like my Great-Uncle is gone he had so much energy he was so handy he is really going to be missed by alot of people. He was a tell it like it is kinda person and if you didn't like it that was your problem he was real. Who are we going to call on when we need something fixed and done to perfection by someone we can trust to do us right. He was a loner he didn't bother nobody but he would get you straight. I would like to say to my family that God will see us through this he knows best we will have a lot of good memories to reflect on may God bless him and keep him and have mercy on his soul. I just cannot believe he is gone. It happned so suddenly and unexpected. I'm gonna miss you UNCLE.
