On Saturday, Trini was able to go to Luke's baseball game. I am happy to say Luke's team won 8-1. It was an emotional and draining day but Trini would not have wanted to be any place else.
We are all enjoying reading your comments to Trini. She is encouraged by your thoughtfulness and the fond memories.

Hi Trini,
Just want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. It's been a long time and I've been thinking of lots of great memories from High School. May god bless and give you strength.

I just cannot believe this! I am so bummed for you. Obviously, you are in our prayers and thoughts. We are willing to do ANYTHING that you need, just tell us. We love you!

Trini,
It takes courage to go through all those treatments and side effects, and even more courage to make the difficult decision to stop it. I truly admire your strength and staying true to what really matters in this time we are given on Earth. You are an amazing and inspirational woman.
Thoughts and prayers still with you.

hey aunt Trini!!!
it's me Kristine!!! I heard how sick you are, I really hope you get better! I also, heard that you want some funny stories. Well, then i have a bunch! In 2005 or 2006 we went to the keys. We were sharing a tube thing and we didn't see any fish. About a second later we both saw a big shark under us, we both swan really fast back up to the boat screaming through our snorkels. (i think that is the fastest i have ever moved and will always be the fastest I have ever moved.) I have another story! in 2006 or 2007 we were in the keys again and snorkeling again. You were in the water, and some of us were on the boat. (well, du you were in the water, you weren't snorkeling on top of the boat but n e way) Uncle Brett crushed a lot of pretzels up and threw them on your back. You never found out until you had like ten fish on you back fighting and jumps for some of the pretzels crumbs on your back. Memories, memories, memories. If you want to talk or hear more funny stories you can text me, i have my cell phone with me like 22/7 (the lost two hours is when i lose my phone in my own house or actually lose it.) You are in our thoughts and prayers!! I really hope, i mean really hope that you get better!! love you!
Kristine <3
I miss relaxing on a lazy weekend with you guys at the sandbar! Just want to remind you that we are here for you and Brett and Luke for ANYTHING. It would make us feel useful if you would ask. Brett please don't be shy! I know I speak for a lot of us, when I say we want to do something, but we feel powerless...
Love you guys! :) The Barone's
Dearest Trini
It has been too long since I have seen you. However, you are are such a special person to me and I have heard about your very tough journey from mutual friends and people who love you so much. Like I do. During the time I spent getting to know you at Bridges I always felt that you were such an incredible individual and I regret that we have not remained in touch. I want you to know that you are in my heart and prayers. Love forever, Ann
Hey Trini,
It has taken me several days to compose myself to write you a message. I kept wondering what I could say , but really, I have nothing to say that can inspire you anymore than you have inspired all of us! You are such a strong person! Fighting hard like you did for all of these years is amazing!! I really hope you are able to enjoy your time with Your son and husband. They are amazing too. I only wonder if something like this were to happen to me, would I be able to be as strong as you? Anyway, kind of embarassing to admit this, but in middle school (Jr. High) I idolized you! I wanted my hair like yours, and I remember wishing I could smile like you. I also, can't believe I am saying this outloud, wanted to run like you. You were sooooo cooool and pretty (you still are). So funny to say that outloud, but as young girls, we all had someone we wished we looked like and it was you. heehee. I thought I was so cool because I moved into your old house! I think I was in Tammy's room (the purple one). Also remembering something about soccer... FAR POST!!! Boy did coach Fitz hate it when we shot the ball directly to the goalie!. Take care and enjoy every moment of everything! Go have fun now! Smile today and give your family lots of hugs! Hope to hear more soon. Thanks for your stories/blogs!

Hi Trini: It seems so long ago now since we were all meeting at Tesoro. To say that I miss you is an understatement. Every time I think of you I think of your generour smile and readyness to help. The thing that I misss the most are your warm loving huggs. I can remember riding on property with Bonnie and sasying "Well lets go and see if Trini is in, I need a hug." We would go by and if you wer not there I was dissapointed and the times you were there, I really enjoyed. So few people can give a good hug. Did you ever notice when guys give each other a hug that they alway slap each other on the shoulder as if to say ok that's enough, break it up? Good huggs have to come from the heart and you have a big one. We all miss you. Hope to see you soon for another one.
Love,
Bill
Ok, it was one of those famous Ginn launches. Some confusion about the signs at the model homes....whatever. We had just closed up our last model and were heading out of the neighborhood. It was dark and pouring rain and who do we see, soaking wet,propping up the signs that fallen over in the storm. It was you just shoving the last one in. We rolled down the window and yelled for you to go home and we would do it in the morning. No way, you wouldn't leave until it was done. That's how you approached everything. You are so great to work with and so fair to everyone. You always have a warm welcome and a smile no matter what. Trini, you are the definition of a true team player. You set the bar high in that office.
Watching you go through all that you have with your health has made me realize just how strong a person you really are. The decisions you had to make along the way were painful ones to say the least. I have learned a lot from you Trini.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything, please let us help.
Love you girl,
Lisa Hanson
Hi Trini,
We have never met, but I have had the privilege of praying for you with your sister, Tami.
My husband and I continue to pray for you and your family.
It was very emotional for me to see the tears in Tami's eyes and hear the love in her voice as she shared about how much she enjoyed spending time with you on her last visit down. I know she is there with you now and I thank God that you can be together during this difficult time. She loves you.
We will continue to pray for your comfort, and healing and that you will totally rely on God; experiencing anew the joy and peace that only comes from personally knowing Jesus.

P.S. It's amazing how much your son looks like you.
Hi Trini,
I have been thinking about you and praying for you. I keep thinking about when Luke was in my class and I was out at lunch and that crazy lady I had working in the class, We'll call her "G". Well remember Luke did not want to eat his banana so she sent him to you in the office, I think with his banana? What a nut she was!! LOL I will never forget that.
Keep going Trini, we all love you.
Love Lisa Webb

Hey Trini,
I've been thinking about you a lot. The stressful times we had at the Butterfly building were always easier and more bearable with you around. Riding around Tesoro was always more fun with you. Watching Luke and Emily play video games was a sight!!! Gosh girl, I don't know what else to say, but, your work is here is done and our Heavenly Father is calling you. YOu have been an inspiration and I have great respect for you. I know that it's been difficult for you especially in preparing Luke for your departure, but I am certain that he knows and will always remember what a wonderful mother you have been and what a great person you are. You, Bret and Luke will remain in my prayers. Love you girl,
Claudia
Trini -
I still laugh out loud when I think about all of us playing Rock Band at your house. Bonner and I had no clue what we were doing. Luke was pounding away on drums and everyone was singing at the top of their lungs. I think Oreo even got in on the action.
How about when we went to the Brad Paisley concert - you, the cancer patient, and me, 6-7 mos pregnant in the midst of all these drunk people. That was pretty funny!
Anyway, I so loved seeing you at the game on Saturday. I cannot believe how much support you have and by how many lives you have touched. What a testament to the wonderful person you are and I am so lucky to have been touched by you. You truly are an angel!
All my love to you and your wonderful family - Kara
Trini,
You had so many wonderful traits so finding three words to describe you is very difficult.
courageous
unpretentious
pertinacious
