Obituary of Tommie Trent

In my father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I will go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also ~ John 14:2-3 Tommie Trent was born on July 3, 1948, to Edmund and Mattie Hopson Trent in Cumberland, Virginia.

It broke my heart to lose you But you did not go alone For part of me went with you The day God called you home.
