Georgina 'Gigi' Trentman

What do I even say?  All of you Trentman's have been so dear to all of us Kirts' for so very long.  There are so many memories of parties, school and church events, scouts, cheerleading etc.  I can't think of many memories growing up that don't include your family. Despite going in different directions and not seeing you all frequently anymore, you are all so dear to me and my family.

CeCe's death and funeral are a very distrince memory of your family. My dad and mom were there during that horrible time and I know it was an honor for them to be support during such a tragedy.  How difficult that must have been but how you carried on and moved forward with grace and kept your humor.  Having recently lost a child myself, my heart is filled even more with compassion and empathy for your family and for GiGi, as a mom should never have to go through that.

I remember cheerleading practice in your backyard.  Your mom feeding us and being so generous with all of us teens in the yard.  She had a beautiful smile, and she didn't hesitate to put us in our place if we got unruly. 

May perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace. 

All my love to every one of you.

Gigi was like a mother to us and we loved her like one.

Respects.

To all the wonderful people in the Trentman family, we are so sorry for the loss.  What a beautiful Wife and Mom.  Such a caring and loving heart that is inherited by the entire family.  Gigi is forever present in each of you.

The Dailys

I became better acquainted with Gigi when I had the pleasure of having Cece in Girl Scouts. She was a sweet, polite, full of life child who reflected the love of  grounded parenting. It was a great blow to us all when she passed most of all to Gigi who probably never fully recovered...what mother ever could. What a beautiful reunion that must have been. Peace and love to their family and close friends.

   Ric, Rick Jr. CC and everybody else; Pat & I send our sincere condolences for your lost. GiGI was such a wonderful person.

She always had a smile that grew larger when one spoke to her and was so friendly to everybody, all the time.

We be out of townand won't be able to make the funeral.   

It was the summer of 1971 when Jane Ann and I moved into the Creekside apartments.  Our son Jeremy was born on my birthday in 71 and then the summer of 1972 we  met Ric and Gigi.  They were loaded with lovely young kids and took the three bedroom apartment at the top floor and we were at the bottom where we first met.  It was an instantaneous compatible friendship as we talked for an hour or so just reviewing our lives.  They were instant friends and we shared a great deal of fun times with them from that moment on.  Two of the most loving people we had ever met in our early years of marriage.  Gigi was an immediate favorite with us both even though Ric had better stories, because she was so grounded and such a loving mom and wife. We continued our relationship with them and so enjoyed ST. Patricks day so much more than we used to because of Gigi and Ric's hosting.  She was a love and such an amazing woman of the world with her dedication to her family and her life. As time has passed we all have grown older and dealt with the usual stuff coming along and it took us away from the Trentman family until today as I read her obituary and her passing so close to her birthday. It is a very tough way to rekindle a relationship but I firmly believe it is the intention of our Divine Creator to let us know.  Our love to the family and its an amazing group, and to Ric our support and love to you with your loss of your amazing lady. Gigi is currently up there making sure things are in order and taking care of business she knows so well.  Love to the family from us all.  Jane Ann, Jeremy, Amy and Dan. And so it shall be.

I'm grateful for being able to write this because when I attempt to speak of Mrs. Trentman I can only cry.  Her love is so evident in her children. Rene? Gina?  You two were my closest loves and two of my dearest friends all my childhood life. Your mom was an angel and a fierce strong beautiful role model to young girls and women everywhere. She was the gentle mother. The faithful Catholic. The loyal wife and a sweet friend to my parents. I told them to go find her when she arrived up there and I am sure they did to welcome her and show her the way. I can hear her laughing. Please tell the boys and your dad how my heart breaks for all of you as I know the road upon which you now stand. Be strong and stay close. Hug Mr. Trentman for me. I will be with you in spirit and will stand tall and sing allowed for her from far away. I love you all dearly 

Going through life I have run into

many families but few where you think to yourself and say ...now that is one tight family. The Trentmans are one of those families. I know Ric like a brother and not so much his parents but ...Ric always talked about Gigi and even though I only met her a few times, I know she was the so called perfect mom. You can tell by being around her children, they all have hearts of gold, are genuine and trustworthy.Hugs to you all!
