Trina Paul Bearden-My Friend Recipe

As most of y’all know, Ms. Trina has been very ill these past few weeks. She has been fighting harder than anyone I have ever seen to stay with us. At 12:25am this morning I received the call I have been dreading for weeks now. Her daughter called to tell me mama was gone. My friend and newly acquired “Mom” (she adopted me as her own a couple weeks ago) is now home with her mama, daddy and sister Corrie.

Paula Deen wrote to us all on Facebook a little bit ago:

Last night, Heaven gained another angel in my dear Aunt Trina. Not only was she my #1 fan, but she was also just like a sister to me, and I know that she became a personal friend to many of you along the way. Thank you so much to all of my friends and family members…
