Trini passed away peacefully Thursday, March 12 after a long and courageous battle with Breast Cancer.
A Celebration of Trini's life is planned for Tuesday, March 17 at 7pm at Hope Lutheran Church, 1750 Lennard Road, Port St Lucie, Florida . The family will receive friends one hour before the service.
As per Trini's wishes an account has been set up in Luke Hartley's name at Seacoast National Bank, 1108 SE Port St Lucie Blvd, Port St Lucie, Florida.
Trini also has made one personal request, "Please don't let anyone wear Pink to my funeral"
It has been a pleasure and and encouragement to Trini reading your comments. As we grieve our loss we would be honored if you would be willing to share 3 words you feel describe Trini.

Three words - that's hard as there aren't enough of them to do justice. Here goes...HEART, LAUGHTER, WARMTH. I will miss you, but never forget you.

This is difficult, but what I most know about Trini is that she was Loving, Patient and Kind.
You will always be in my thoughts,

I was heartbroken to hear about Trini, and so so sorry that I did not have a chance to be in touch with her before she left us.
Trini was such an easy person to love.
There are so many words that could be used to describe Trini. Three that come to mind are: COURAGEOUS, HUMOROUS, COMPASSIONATE! She was SO dynamic and was truly one-of-a-kind!!! I definitely feel so blessed to have known someone so special as Trin!
With love,
Kristin

How do you describe someone like Trini in 3 words? The best wife to Brett, a wonderful mom to Luke, the perfect daughter and sister, and a friend to everyone. Whoever knew Trini, loved her and I know that I will forever miss her warmth, her smile, and her kindness.
I feel blessed to have known Trini...
With love,

Our hearts and prayers go out to Trini's family and friends. I know she will be greatly missed but will always be watching over and smiling down on her loved ones.
Paul and Laura Schoppe
Three words that come to mind are Brave, Inspiring, and Unselfish, but it takes ore than that to describe Trini - she was a wonderful person - I am thankful to have known her. I'll always remember her smile - her smile lit up a room.
All of you are in my prayers. Love, Sue.
Fortitude, Fight and Peace

Three words are too hard to sum up such an AMAZING, COURAGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL woman. I am so honored to have known her in life, and cannot wait to see her in all of God's glory.
I met Trini when Luke started at Redemmer Lutheran, he and my daughter Lily were in the same class for second grade....at the end of that school year my family moved back to Massachusetts...I had gotten to know Trini more the second half of that year and know that had we stayed in Florida she would have become an even better friend....I have been trying to think of three words this morning to describe Trini and as others have mentioned there are so many that would describe her....any word you can pick Trini was much bigger than that word can describe, so I think I would say TRUE, as in TRUE friend, Truly courageous, strong, brave, and warm. I will miss knowing she is on this earth and wish her happiness and joy in her new journey.
Passionate, Loyal, loving. Miss you Trini!
Love,
Alison Hedrick Bruce
wonderful person, kind spirited, full of love & joy!

Many of us from BH-BL class of '88 are feeling a great loss today. It has been many years, but that doesn't change the happy memories and special times we shared growing up with Trini. Everyone remembers her beautiful smile and kind heart. Although she obviously fought very hard to be with her family over the last six years, I hope it brings some comfort knowing she is no longer fighting, but instead at peace. Wishing her family comfort, peace and love in this difficult time.
Anne Flynn Porreca
I have fond memories of Trini from our BH-BL school days. WARM, OUTGOING, ATHLETIC only begins to describe the beautiful, smart, confident Trini I remember from 20 years ago. Brett, Luke and Trini's entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
- Jenny Medler Rock
God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and though we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
Courageous, True, and Unforgettable...Love, Demi & Aydan
Although it has been many years since high school, I remember Trini always had a warm, friendly smile. She was a beautiful person, and so courageous throughout her journey. I hope you find comfort in your memories of Trini during this most difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

It is hard to find only 3 words. Trini was confident, loving and a great friend. I have so many great memories of Bin and the whole Warner family. My heart goes out to Luke and Brett. Trini fought hard but at least she is now at peace.
I will keep the family in my prayers.
Love,

First real girlfriend.

I was heartbroken when I got the news about Trini. I loved Trini, she was the most caring and brave person as she had this struggle to deal with. I met her through my parents as she worked with my step father and was immediately fond of her, Brett, and Luke. Luckily the last time I saw Trini I have a wonderful memory. It was raining and Brett was driving the golf cart with all of us on it during the Ginn Sur Mer Tournament at Tesoro. We had the best weekend with them and that is the last memory that I will carry with me. Luke I hope you know how much your mother loved you and what a wonderful and brave person she was. Brett, Luke, and Family I will forever hold Trini in my heart and keep you in my prayers. May the love of god, family, and friends help you through this difficult time.
Love, Nicole (Bill and Linda Beam's daughter)
Three words are so hard to describe her....she was a wonderful friend, a courageous fighter and had the most beautiful infectious laugh. I will never forget her laughter. My thoughts and prayers to Brett, Luke, the Warner and Hartley families. Trini, you will never be forgotten...
Love,

"A Role Model"
Trini was someone that you could look up to and aspire to be like in school but you would never quite get there because it would be far too exhausting. She seemed to somehow effortlessly pull off being breathtakingly beautiful, an exceptional athlete, an excellent student and highly popular because of her personality that was just simply MAGNETIC. All of that was aside from knowing her as a part of my church family where she just shined like a bright smiling light. I was always left wondering "HOW does she do all that?!?!"
I was not surprised to learn from reading this blog that she even excelled in the fight for her life and left us wondering, yet again, HOW does she DO that?!?
I join my BH '88 classmates and Good Shepherd disciples in expressing an extreme sense of loss for not having her grace the planet and at the same time a sense of relief in knowing that her suffering is over and she is in a better place. I want to extend my sincere sympathies to Trini's family at this time. It will take a heaping helping of "Trini-size" strength to get through the days ahead, I'm sure, but she did show us how to do it with grace and class.
~Lori Schubert
Sincere, joyful, and courageous. Trini was a person who was so caring and kind to me when I needed it most and touched my life as an "angel".
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Jenny
Being Luke's manager in Little League, I have had the privilege to have him on my team, and his dad as a coach as well.My big regret is not being able to talk to Trini much and get to really know her.She has touched my heart with her bravery and courage that it is my loss for not having her in my life. She will live through her son and husband, who I can now say ...is my friend.
God Speed Trini,
Sal Di Gregorio
We are here for you Brett and Luke. Although we did not get to know Trini, it is so apparent that she touched many people in so many ways and showed an enormous amount of courage and compassion for those around her. May God bless her and guide her though the gates of heaven and my God give you all the strength to endure the passing of your wonderful wife and mother. We pray for you now in this time of mourning.
With Love and Sincerity,
Tim, Kelly, Zach and Nick Marciszewski

Bits and Pieces. People.
People important to you, people unimportant to you, cross your life, touch it with love and carelessness and move on. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever had to come into contact with them. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole. Children leave parents; friends leave friends. Acquaintances meet and move on. People change homes. People grow apart. Enemies hate and move on. You think of the many who have moved into your hazy memory. You look at those present and wonder: I believe in God’s master plan. He moves people in and out of each others’ lives, and each leaves their mark on the other. You find you are made of bits and pieces of all who ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you. Pray to God that you accept the bits and pieces in humility and wonder; and never question, and never forget.
Bits and Pieces.

I was heartbroken to hear the news about Trini. I had lost touch with her, but often thought of her. We played soccer together in High School and she was always so full of life and fun and vibrant. I'm sure Trini touched the hearts of many many people. Hugs to all of you. Trini was a wonderful person.

Brett, Luke, and the Warner and Hartley families and all friends of Trini...
So many have expressed words of kindness, love, and loss. I too, am grieving for the families. I too, cried at the word that Trini has left our earthly world. Then, I smiled. Knowing that Trini has no more more suffering. Although Trini's family and friends are suffering, this reminds me of a song that says so much...
http://www.songlyrics.com/jeremy-camp/there-will-be-a-day/288978/
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain...
Cheers to Trini for fighting the good fight. Cheers to Trini for now she is no longer in pain. Trini is in a best place, with our Maker.
Michael Venditti
A Great friend, a Loving Mother and Wife, with a Great Infectious Laugh! Trini, you will be missed forever by your buddy Michael. Your beautiful son and wonderful husband will live on with you in their hearts and minds everyday.
Love, Michael Warner
Like everyone else; only 3 words! Trini was a STRONG woman who always had something positive to say! She was a FIGHTER and an INSPIRATION.
The world would be a better place if there were more people like her in it!
She will be missed!

Trini will always be a smart, inspirational, and fun woman. The world is a little less bright today. Our love and support go out to the Warner-Hartley families.

Always be loved.......Trini will always be loved by her Mom and Dad, her wonderful sisters, her beautiful son and caring husband and most of all by those lives she touched over the years with her story. We will miss you.
The Little Ship
I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted the white sails with a golden light, and as it disappeared from sight, a voice at my side whispered, "she is gone."
But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore, a band of family and friends gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly, they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at that very moment when my companion had whispered, "she is gone", a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, "here she comes."
Heaven has welcomed another angel. I am in awe of Trini, her dignity, grace and solid love for Brett and Luke. Rest in peace my friend.
Laurie Herter
I know Trini though Traci. My three words for her are Strength, Spiritual and Loving.

We loved you Trini. We were so happy your family came with us to Redeemer, and that Luke could have faith around him daily to reinforce his beautiful light for you.
YOU WILL BE MISSED, but your grace is now with the best of God's angels.
Love, Holly & Hunter

TRINI...a REAL LIVE WIRE! With her bright eyes and gorgeous smile, she spread so much positive energy to us all.
Love, David and Krista
AMAZING, OUTGOING, BEAUTIFUL
Trini was my neighbor and the first friend I made when I moved to BH-BL. She was the cool 9th grader and I so looked up to her as a little 7th grader.
Even though we had not kept in touch over the years since BH-BL I was very sad to hear the news about Trini. My thoughts and prayers are with her family in this difficult time.
Tiffany (Heflin) Charette
Although I have not been in touch with Trini for many years, I remember her friendship and beauty and all the great times we had laughing together. In reading her blog the last several months it is easy to see how brave and courageous she has been over these past 5 years. She was quite obviously an inspiration to many people.
My prayers are with her beautiful son, her husband Brett and all of her family friends.
Love, Amy (Laviano) Pausley
