Lit by Josh Pollock 28th April 2014
It is hard to believe that it has already been one year. I remember I woke up last year on a Sunday morning, never imaging what the day had in store for me. I knew that I was working at Washington Twp VFC for a Gun Bash and I knew I was taking a few of my friends to dinner at Hoss's for the benefit dinner, but never did I image what this day would bring. I was standing in the office and my phone started ringing, I looked down at my phone and saw it was Melissa, so I answered it. At this point, I was informed of the worst. My heart sank and I went to the bathroom and locked myself in. After a few minutes I went outside for a walk and tried to calm down. I called my friend Mark L and then called my mom because I just needed to talk to someone. I will never forget walking into Hoss's and seeing the building packed and hearing the servers reaction to how busy the day was. Trent, I will never forget your beautiful, smiling face...nobody will ever forget you Bubba. Never did I ever see you without a smile on your face or Legos in your hand. We use to sneak you into the fire hall bingo when the jackpot was high and take you to the back room so you could play with your Legos and on your laptop. Some kids would run around the hall and make noise, Trent was the best behaved kid! He had a heart of gold. Mark & Melissa, You two have been nothing but kind and wonderful to me and I am proud to say that you two are two of my best friends that I could ever ask for. <3 you! We all know that Trent is looking down at us from heaven right now with his beautiful eyes and smiling. He is building Heaven's largest Lego set and playing on his laptop. Although he may be in Heaven and is not with us physically, he will always be a part of our hearts. A part that we will never let go.
