Trella was such a sweet and thoughtful person. Before Big Mike's closed we would usually eat there when I came home to visit (it was always one of my Memaw Jaynes' favoiite places to eat too). Trella always came over to say hi and to check on us in her sweet southern voice and never failed to have that beautiful smile on her face! She will be missed and my prayers are with her husband, children, mother, father, sister and every other family member. May God provide you all with his strength and faith to get through this difficult time. Prayers for each of you daily.

I am sadden by Trella's passing and send my deepest sympathy to the Patterson's and to my Townsley family. Although we were distant cousins, I did not get the pleasure of knowing Trella personally. I have only known her from a distance. I have heard so many wonderful things about her. My heart goes out to everyone, especially her husband, children, David, Kay, Tonita, Nell, Sheila and Lori....I love you all.... Debbie.
