Garnet and family--So sad to learn of your loss. I have many fond memories of David since I grew up across the street from all of you. I remember when he and Daddy had the Little League team sponsored by Arnold's Grocery Store. Such good memories. God bless all of you.

Garnet and family, we extend our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of David. As you know, we go back to High School days where David and I competed against each other in sports but later we played baseball together in the industrial leagues. I recall, in l945 or l946 walking on the street in Fort Bliss,TX and David shouting at me from a bus he was riding. We got together a time or two while he was there. We have for a long time had a special affection for Becky and her family. David will be remembered for his honesty, sincerity and integrity. You and your family will be in our prayers.

No amount of preparation can prepare you for such a loss. The memories Mr. Trent left behind, hopefully, will carry you through . He was well respected and admired by many, us included. We are so sorry for your loss.

I always remembered Uncle David (and Aunt Garnet) taking my brother and myself to baseball games where Uncle David pitched ... leading to my enjoyment of the game to this day. Uncle David will be missed. Love and prayers to the family.

I grew up across the street from Mr. Trent and am so sorry for his loss. My parents still live across from the Trent's home on Wilgus Street. Mr. Trent was a kind man and a great neighbor. My prayer is for comfort during this difficult time to Mrs. Trent, Belinda, Bruce, Becky, and Beverly and the entire family.

On behalf of the Senior Services Team at Cabell Huntington Hospital, please accept our deepest sympathy. Mr. and Mrs. Trent raised a wonderful son, Bruce, and we are all better for knowing him-he never failed to share the love he has for his family and how proud he was of his parents. God's blessings to all.
