Remembering your sweetness and funny laugh and great sense of humor.I finally saw your beautiful granddaugher last week ,Sam saw me at a store and was kind enough to come over to me so I could see her.She is one of the most precious and oh so funny baby that I have ever seen,with her tiny little hand she held on to my finger and was so loving and so sweet.I loved her immediately and I saw alot of YOU in her.Tricia you will always be alive in memory and in our hearts and your blood flows through your children and grandchild always.I miss and love you.

Only knew you briefly, Trisha, having met you over 25 years ago. I am truly shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. Your incredible smile could light up the darkest room and your warm personality, amazing sense of humour and empathy for others have left a lasting impression on me and everyone who knew you. May God keep your children safe and secure, and may you rest in everlasting peace, my friend.

Hey Sam and Joey,I still get this lump in my throat and feel numb when I think of your very special Mother and she was so sweet and loving,I had a connection with her every since I met her, and my heart still hurts for both of you and I feel your pain and wish I could make it all go away.I care very much and want you both to know I am hear if you need me.I pray God gives you both strength and heals your hearts and gives you both peace to know your precious Mother is with Jesus and she is at place that is amazingly beautiful and surrounded by love.We all will see her again one day.God bless and take care of each other.

Sam & Joey, as things begin to settle for you know your mom is smiling down upon you. She was a fun loving person and loved by all. Her and Billy are partying without us. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Samantha, Bubba and I are so sadden to hear about the loss of Trish. She was always with a smile and a big laugh and a funny story to tell us. She loved talking and bragging about you. You will always be comforted with her loving memories and know she is your special Guardian Angel and will always be looking out for you and you little love one. She would have been a great G.G. and I know she was so excited.
Love,

Samantha & Joey your Mom was so funny and always ready to help somebody that needed it. I'll never forget all the times she was at the house with Allen. When I had my surgery she stayed there with Allen to help look out for me. I'm so sorry you guys have to go throught this so young. Sam please look out for Joey, I know you will and he'll look out for you and you little guy when he gets here. I'm here if you need me, please let me know when you have the baby, I hope he has your Mom's smile. Keep in touch

I don't think I have ever seen you without a smile on your face and not talking to people. I'm sorry I never got the chance to go out with you and Samantha like we had talked about. But one day I will see you again and we'll have an amazing time. I can't wait to meet you up at Heaven and hear all of the crazy stories you have going. I remember when I first met you, my momma and I were up at Uno's and you were waiting on us. And then after that, you were always somewhere I was. Especially when I would go into work. Whether you and Samantha would come up to Yesterday's or beat me there, and you would always be at Longhorns as soon as you got off of work and I was going into work. Doesn't matter where you were or where you went, you lit up a room and knew how to get everyone one going and in a good mood. I'll miss you, I love you pretty lady. I don't know Joey, but I do know Samantha, but I love you both, and little peanut. I know the baby will be the most gorgeous baby ever if it takes after your family<3.

I remember the day I met you, you got me my job at Unos by telling em how sweet I was and all that without even knowing me! lol You always kept a smile on my face while I was there, and even though I hated waitressing, I was very grateful for you getting me the job! You were always so fun to be around and talk to and I know you will be missed very very much by A LOT of people! I cannot believe your gone but I know you will be with Sam and Joey and your grandbaby always. Rest In Paradise Beautiful! <3

My favorite memory of Trish was when she would greet a table at work and say "If I give you good service, my name is Trish, if I give you bad service my name is Mallory." It was just one of the many little things she did on a day to day bases that made me smile. Trish, I will always remember you as a good friend, and a hot mamma, and I will always love you and remember your smiling face. You may have left us too early but in return we all have one hot angel looking out for us from above.
