To all the Smith and Duffy family,
Saddened to hear the news about Trish. So many wonderful childhood memories of all the Academy Ave. families growing up together. Trish always had a sparkle in her eye, a great laugh shared with all and a big heart. She had your back no matter what! I will cherish the memories. Sending prayers, hugs and peace to you all.

To all of the Duffy family.
Trish was a great person. I still rember to this day all the fun we had growing up as kids in the Academy Ave neighborhood. Trish always made me laugh and when the chips were down she always rallied everyone in a positive cheerful way to the finish line. Rest in peace Trish and may God comfort your family.

Trish was the most beloved friend and coach for her Galway Rover Girls. Her love and dedication to the girls and their families was
beyond amazing. A tremendous loss.
