I’ve known Trish since high school when she and Mike were just dating…loved them in their early years together and through so many life events. So very sad for her struggle the last year and for her passing. She dearly loved her extended family. I know in our loss and sadness there is also great rejoicing in heaven! Wishing her family and friends much love and assurance that all shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well….

Trish was so thoughtful and kind. She worked really hard trying to ease the pain of others thru her messages. I will miss her.
