Trina, 44, met her husband David
while he was serving with the United
States Army Special Forces in
Fort
Bragg - and it was love at first
sight. After his
discharge, David became a
Clarksville
police officer. In
2002, David and his partner were on-duty
when their police car was violently
struck by a truck.
The car spun out of control, hit a
guardrail, caught fire, and killed both
David and his partner almost instantly. Overwhelmed with grief, Trina
turned to a group called Concerns of
Police Survivors, Inc. (C.O.P.S.), which
helps the surviving family members of
officers killed in the line of duty.
Inspired by the help she received
from C.O.P.S., Trina devoted all of her
free time to the organization and became
its president in 2003.
The time that Trina dedicates to
C.O.P.S. is essentially a full-time job,
on top of the regular job she works to
support her three daughters: Leyla, 17,
Deidie, 13, and Alethea, 11.
Trina has spent more than $20,000
to try to fix the mounting repairs to
her small home, but the structural
problems caused by termites and water
damage remained.
"Cosentino and
Silestone are thrilled to be a part
of this Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition project to help Trina and
her kids have a new home that is
comfortable, safe and spacious.
Silestone countertop surfaces
work very well because they fit with
any design and color scheme. They
are perfect for growing, active
families like the Scotts because
they are antimicrobial and are
stain-, scratch- and
scorch-resistant," explained Lorenzo
Marquez, vice president of marketing
for Cosentino North America, which
is headquartered in
Houston,
Texas.
Cosentino,
with hands-on involvement from Stone
World at the Scott family build
site, has donated Silestone quartz
kitchen and family room countertops,
custom-fitting and installation
services valued at approximately
$20,000 as part of the construction
and furnishing of the
Montgomery

five years.
