I remember when Trina, Cindy, me and a few of our friends lived in the same neighborhood back in the early 1970’s. We were pretty good friends back then. Such good times they were. Going to the park, just doing things that kids at the age of 12 would do back in those days. As the days went on and the Spencer’s moved out of the neighborhood, I lost touch with them. But I never forgot them. Thankfully I’m friends with Cindy in Facebook. I know it’s a hard loss to lose someone so dear and close. so, I want to say God Bless Trina’s family and friends who loved her. I know your hearts are heavy but just know that at this very moment and forever more Trina is in heaven with part of her family and friends who are there with her. She is so happy and in no way would she want to come back now. Jesus is good, loving and caring, so I know he will bring you all comfort during this time of sorrow. God Bless all of you. And remember Trina is looking down on all of you and smiling and saving a place for you in heaven.
Very heartwarming video.
