Little Rock, AR Thursday, January 7, 2016 Members of the family, Grief is a perfect normal response to the death of your loved one. It is an adjustment process, which will allow all of you too gradually to accept this loss. The process is the same whether you are grieving the loss of another significant person.The Death of Bobbie Jean Trotter from this mortal state to immortality is a great loss and it is necessary to acknowledge it not only to your self-but to others. The adjustment will be easier for all family members by feeling free in expressing your respective grief. In addition to your feelings of despair and loneliness; you have to lose control of your emotions. Painful as it is, it is part of the normal grieving process. However, there is also an intensifying of faith in Jesus Christ, which gives you sufficient inner strength to carry you through this difficult period.
Finally, with the passing of time, there will be a gradual severing of Bobbie Jean Trotter's thoughts and emotional ties. As you emerge from this bereavement, you will discover that you are a stronger person than you were before her death, you all will have gained a deeper faith, along with increased sensitivity, and greater understanding and compassion for one another and for others.
Humbly Submitted

Monticello, AR Thursday, January 7, 2016 To: The Trotter Family,My heart is heavy and so sad to hear about Mudia. I am so glad I had the pleasure to have had her in my life, she was such a wonderful and beautiful woman. Mudia was always in the kitchen cooking and making sure you get something to eat. Mudia was like our mother because she didn't allow no wrong doing and if we you were at her home and you did something you wasn't suppose to do, she will discipline you just like her own kids, I Love this lady and I can go on and on about the times spending at her home and just having conversation about different things and talking about the lord and church. I never will forget the time she taught me how to cook beans and knowing when they were done. Mudia will surely be missed by all who came in contact with her. I am praying that God give the family peace and strength.
