"Joni and family, I have no words that will make your loss any less heartbreaking.... Good memories though of the kids playing in the front yard or at the door when we carpooled to SRC/ LPN program back in the day...hating to see you leave and excited when you came home. Spoke with Troy this spring and he,of course, didn't remember me but was as friendly as could be and politely listened as I explained how I knew you and him. All the while he had that "big smile" so many have commented on. I am thinking of you and am so sorry for your loss Debbie"

"When I was 13 years Troy told me that we were going to get married someday! I told him he was crazy because I was going to marry Billy Idol! When I turned 37 and had moved back to Canton after being gone for 20 years , I walked into a bar and after a few minutes Billy Idol comes on the jute box and my old friend picks me up and says your husband is singing for you!! I couldnt believe he remembered! He always made me feel like I was somebody special because he remembered the smallest details! I will forever be grateful for knowing Troy! All my love to his mother and family!"
