​Anna Faye Trent was our second daughter and a child blessed with an overflowing amount of personality and blonde hair.  Like many 4 year old girls at the time, she loved wearing sparkly dresses and watching her favorite movie Frozen.  She was an extremely loving child who frequently gave her signature hugs to all her extended family.  

​On Father’s Day 2016, one week after Anna turned 4 years old, we along with our extended family decided to spend the afternoon at a local private club pool.  We spent several hours swimming as a family and enjoyed dinner next to the pool.  After everyone finished eating, we decided that it was time to pack up and head home.  While some of the adults cleaned up, several of the kids asked if they could return to the pool for one last swim. We watched as Anna returned to the shallow mushroom play area for what we thought would be a few minutes of additional fun. Moments later, our lives were forever changed. Though the pool had few swimmers and was surrounded by lifeguards and adults, Anna slipped into a swimming area where the water was slightly above her head…our beautiful little girl was gone in an instant.

Though our hearts will never heal from this tragic loss, we are resolved to make sure we can save as many young lives as possible from a water-related death. We do this 4 Anna!
