Patricia Ann "Trish" O'Rourke-Smires

I think of Trish often- I miss her sweet smile. May She Rest In Peace. -Rosanne

I am shocked by the news that Trish has died. I have been a friend of Trish's since the age of 2 . We grew up together in Ewing. Although our lives went in separate directions as we got older, when we saw each other it was as if we just saw each other yesterday.

To the entire O'Rourke family and to Harvey please accept my belated condolences

I have fond memories of Trish as a woman of compassion and generosity. When I had emergency surgery 9 years ago, she and Fr. Greg came to my bedside in the hospital to comfort me. 5 years later, she "talked me off the ledge" when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her courage and calm in battling the same disease was an inspiration to me; a life raft when I felt like I was drowning in fear. She leaves us all with a legacy of goodwill and kindness -- her spirit lives on in the programs...
