    Thoughts and prayers go out to Troys family as well as his neice's family! I was soo shocked to hear about such a tragedy! Troy had some very comforting words for me when my brother Scott died 3 years ago, "gone, but never forgotten". Rest in peace Troy.

    My prayers go to your entire family! I was just getting to know Troy and he was very special to me in such a very short time. I also had the pleasure of speaking to Cheyenne on the phone a couple of times and she was so precious. My heart breaks for all of you and may God Bless your entire family that he loved so much!
