Missing someone isnt about how long its been since youve seen them last or the amount of time since youve talked. Its about that very moment when youre doing something and you wish that they were right there with you.

My heart is so sad..........Tricia was my Best Friend back when I lived in Cali. We kept in touch here and there through the years. She has been on my mind so much this past year and I decided it was time to try to reconnect with her. I am in tears as i read these messages. I miss her soo much and my heart is heavy to find out she is no longer here with us. To the entire family I send my love and Gilbert I am sure you were blessed with so many memories and laughs from her.....and Anthony as well. I send my thoughts and prayers.

When I miss you, I don't have to go far … I just have to look inside my heart because that's where I'll find you.

Deepest condolesants to Joe,Jaine and family, Gilbert,Anthony and family. We did not know your loved one personally, and i wish we did, because of all the beautiful messages written on her behalf. I don't know where to start, but i know your pain as we lost a daughter Andrea at age 22,11 years ago, and that nothing will ever repair our broken hearts, we must all try to go on with our lives as difficult as that may be, and treasur her beautiful memories, and know that Tricia is your beautiful Gaurdian Angel, always their looking down at all of you to help you through this most difficult time in your life. So continue always praying and talking to her as she does hear all your prayers, and know that the Lord our God is taking real good care of her, and one day when the Lord our God calls for us we will all be reunited with all our loved one's. God Bless all of you, Always Blessings never Losses, David and Lucy Herrera

On Your Birthday

No cake or candles here today
Or presents for you to open
Just love from friends who want to say
Happy Birthday, and that we're hoping
Somehow you can see and know
That we have not forgotten you
That we still remember, even though
You've departed from our view
And if you see us here below
And wonder why we care
It's just because we want to show
That a part of you is still here
You live within each memory's heart
And so you remain, though we're apart

tricia..you may be out of our sight but never out of our mind we all miss you(3/27/11

IN loving memory ...
IT been three month since you be gone
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too
We think of you in silence, we often speak your name
Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part
God has you in his keeping, We have you in our hearts
