My dear Sister, I don’t have the words to express the sadness and emptiness you left behind. You were my friend and my mentor; I’m going to miss your laugh, jokes, and my coconut cake, but God knows that one day we’ll be seeing each other. My condolences to the family.
Love. Maria

Thank you Trish, you were God sent. I appreciate all the advice along with the knowledge that you shared.
  Whenever you and the other ladies in the office would sing the song "Sisters" I loved the harmony and true feelings  coming from all of you.  There's so many memories I would love to share.
Trish,  May you Rest In Paradise and condolences to your family.

Trish, over the last 10 years has been a friend that would make you laugh and smile no matter what the situation was. She was so kind even in difficult situations. She was also a teacher and a mentor. She was also gentle and kind to everyone both man and animal...She would do anything for anyone. She will be missed greatly. Our prayers go out to her family.

To Trish's family, you have my deepest sympathy.  She always spoke of you with so much love.

Patricia Gail, your spirit was always, always, too beautiful for this world.  Your body may have given up but I know that your spirit has flown away to the heavenly realms where it can once again soar.  The true essence of who you are is and always has been pure love. We will see you again, but until then, know that this world has become a little less bright without the light that you came and shone into our lives.  You will be greatly missed.

"We are all precious in His sight, and a rose is and always will be a rose..." (Aretha Franklin)

I love ya!

Hi Trish,
We ran a race we couldn't win , but we tried for years and years . No one will ever forget your kindness and the love you gave to every one you met. I will always hold you in my heart. Your brother Victor🕊  Just remember if I continue to help those like you, I will see you again 🕊

She was a wonderful lady who I enjoyed working with over the last 10 years. I will miss her great sarcasm and the funny way she would laugh with her shoulders.
I could always count on her knowledge to help whenever needed.
She will be missed by us all.  I’ll pray for her and her family.

My deepest condolences to the family. I will remember Trish by her kindness to people, her love for her family and pets, and her singing and funny sayings in the office. She was a good boss for me and a good co-worker to others. We can be comforted in knowing she’s resting now until the day our Lord returns to take His saints to our heavenly home.

Pam & family:

We sure have known each other a long time. Sorry to hear about Gail. We did have  a lot of good times with Gail. When she was in College, & we were in High School. That's when we first met each other. 
Remember swimming in the pool in the back yard. What good times.
Lots of Love to you all.

Barbara & Glenn
