My heart is broken. I cannot even imagine yet one without the other. It’s always been Trent and Tammy for me. We’ve had so much fun together. I cannot imagine him not being around anymore. I love you both so much.
I still cant believe you are gone. I keep hoping i will wake up and you will be there in your chair. I know you are finally at peace and I prayed for God to not let you suffer. You did so much good for so many while you were here on earth, i just hope you got a break when you first got to heaven!!! Just needed to let you know how much you are missed and loved.
