Wendy at age 20 |
My sister, Jill Wendilyn "Wendy" (Tritton) Troquille, was
killed in a head-on collision on Monday, April 29, 2013.
Fortunately, she did not suffer—she was
killed instantly. She was 46 years old. Wendy’s passing is exactly five months
after our mom’s sudden passing on Thursday, November 29, 2012.
I am in the process of writing obituaries
that will appear in the Van, Van Zandt, and Dallas newspapers.
I am also writing a eulogy that I will deliver
during her memorial service.
Her service will be in Athens, TX. Her son,
Aaron Grigsby, is a member of a very loving and strong church community, and
they have graciously offered to host the memorial service.
We gladly honored Wendy’s wish to be
cremated, and the family made those arrangements yesterday.
I’ll be back with more, but for now, I wanted
to keep this short to convey the important information. Any and all are welcome
at the service.

To everyone who has reached out to our

so, so much. I feel the love coming from all directions.
I ask that you keep them coming. We are all
still very, very much in shock, and your continued prayers and thoughts are
deeply appreciated.
I pray peace and comfort to your family as you face the challenges now and those that may come.
