Patty, Chad and Courtney, I just learned of Tricia's passing and send my condolences. In my short time of knowing Eddy...the one thing that stood out was the love he had for his children. I wish you all the best to get through this difficult time.

Our family is so sorry on the loss of Tricia. She was a beautiful young woman inside and out. A daughter & sister to be proud of. I would like to share this scripture verse with you. II Tim. 4:6-9, Our dentist just lost his mother this past week too. This verse was one of her favorites. She also had cancer. I think it is appropriate for Tricia. I summed it up in my words. (She has fought the good fight, finished the race and remained faithful. Tricia will receive a reward with Christ in Heaven..Tricia would want everyone to know that the reward isn't just for her,but for everyone who is looking forward to his coming. She loved you all very much and we can thank God for her precious life while she was here. She would want you to be happy that she will be in Heaven and that is what she would want for all of us. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all. Love in Christ
