Although I can still feel you here in spirit, words can't express how much I miss hearing your voice. So glad & fortunate to have the privilege of spending the last few years of your life with you. Every single day was an adventure -- from playing cards, walking (& kayacking) through flood waters, biking around NSB, traveling around, going to church, to watching you drive in NYC. I particularly miss hearing you pray, "God Bless our family, friends & pets." Love you eternally, Rita

A lifetime of memories I will cherish in my heart. You were a part of the best days of my life. You told everybody I was your sister since we were raised together as brother and a sister; growing up as best friends but I was just your aunt. I always wanted the best for you Troy and I was always on your side if there was ever a problem with anybody because I was faithful and loyal and I loved you. When we were young, you were always on my side of any battles. My little ally……but I must tell a funny memory. When Troy was about 2 years-old and I was about 5 years-old, if he didn’t do what I wanted him to do, I would tell him I was going to flush myself down the toilet and go to China! I would run into the bathroom and shut the door and he would run behind me screaming and crying and begging me not to do the dirty deed haha! I would flush the toilet and then remain real quiet for a few. Poor Troy! Hard to believe we was best friends all our lives till I moved away but we always had the best of times when we got together. We did stuff like …while playing Bozo the clown, we blew crackers out our mouth all over the room, Joyce walked in and caught us and boy was we in big trouble. We, along with my brother, James Hill who passed in Dec 20 2018, tied up Brian and shaggy and put them in the little red wagon I used to pull Troy around the neighborhood in when he was a baby. We put the wagon at the top of a hill with a brick under the wheel so when ready we could kick it out and send them spiraling down into a marsh at the bottom of the hill. We were sweet kids.

Rest in heaven Troy! I love you so much and I miss you already. I’m grateful for the extra year we got with you and I’m so proud of you for trying so hard to overcome the obstacles. Thanks you for loving Aiden and rylee so much and showing them what being a family means. Until we meet again, for you, my cup runneth over. ❤️❤️
