Chapel Hill, NC Monday, August 25, 2014 I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs. Trotter. I image she was an amazing woman. I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is Isaiah 26:19, which says, "Your dead will live... Awake and shout joyfully, you residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, and the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you; and I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved mother. Sincerely, Meryl.Billy Bolin

Wilmar, AR Sunday, August 24, 2014 Always enjoyed hanging out at your house. Your mom's cooking, smile, stories to tell, always made me feel so welcome. I know you are going to miss her here on earth, but oh what a glad reunion day it will be!John Fryer
monticello, AR Saturday, August 23, 2014 I've never met a more spiritual and loving person in my life. I loved playing games with her and hearing her jokes and stories. She always made a point to pull us aside and talk to us about our relationship with jesus. Everyone I knew loved her and I hope I will be able to experience at least a fraction of the love and admiration that she was able to experience in her lifetime. There's no doubt that she is singing with angels and waiting to see us all one day.Sharon Hoppers Barnesk Barnes
