Tray was such an amazing person and I was very lucky to get to know him through working on his medical equipment. He was so funny and was truly a light to be around. He will be greatly missed by his NSM family.

Virginia and DoraJo:
So sorry to hear about Trey. Been out of touch from work because of health issues. Back until December 31 and then I am retiring. He held on a long time and had the best personality. Smiling and laughing despite that wheelchair. My heart and prayers go out to you both. Great Mom and Great Sister, best caregivers he could have ever had. Love to you both.
