I just found out today Jan. 4th, 2014, that my dear friend is gone. Tricia & I lived across the street from each other in Gardena.  We went to school together our parents even moved to O.C. almost at the same time. I last spoke with Tricia in May.  Never a word of illness.  I will miss her. Paula & Jeff your mother was the best.!

Tricia was a sweet friend who worked with me for several years before we both retired.  I can still remember her voice and her laugh and her ready smile, and especially her kind, kind manner with everyone who came to her for help.  She loved her family and her home, and her deep faith was evident.  I will always cherish the wonderful talks we had and will miss her greatly.

She called me sweet cousin and I can't remember that there was ever a time in my life that she ever let me down. We spent our childhood together, went on family vacations, shared our holidays, weddings, funerals, celebrations, memories...life. She treated me like a big sister, always protective and loving and wise. We were there for each other since birth, until she had to leave and join the angels. I still feel her presence and I know she will always remain with me as she did in my life. I love you Tricia, my sweet cousin...

I worked closely with Tricia for many years at John Wayne Tower.  She was a gentle soul who went through a lot the last several years and I cannot imagine she then had to deal with Cancer.  My heartfelt sympathy to her family.  I still wear a pair of earrings she gave me and I think of her often.  God Bless you.

My Aunt Tricia was a beautiful positive spirit that always had the biggest smile on her face. She was there for me throughout my whole life, and i will always cherish the last memory I had with her celebrating with me as I got married this year. Now she's an angel in heaven reunited with the love of her life watching over all of us. I love you auntie.

To Paula and Jeff,
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of your Mother.  
Here's to the Happy times...cherish them always.  Your Mom was a special lady.

Paula and Jeff:
You and your mom are in our prayers.  We are saddened by your loss but know that Trish had two wonderful children who loved and cared for her always.

Paula and Jeff,  Our prayers are with you and your family.  Your mom raised and taught you so much.  She taught you to walk, eat and to love good italian food.  She also taught you to be strong as she was herself.  You will get through this.  We love you both.
Dennis and Gail Metzger

Thank you so much for being part of our lives. Our greatest memory is the bridal shower you gave for Lisa. But also you, David and Paula reading at our wedding. Thank you for so many great memories at St. Columban and rosary high school. We love you very much!

We love you so much mom and will miss you even more. I've truly enjoyed getting to know over the last couple years and thank you for accepting me into your family.
