Dear Leon and Family:

Wow, although it was shocking news to me, it was also good to be able to talk with you by phone recently. I am very saddened at the loss of Tricia (Patty - as I knew her in the Sonshine Company)! I know that she is now at perfect rest. I will continue to pray for you, Leon, and your family, as you go through the coming months. Jesus will sustain you. Lean on Him. Feel free to call any time!

Blessings in Christ,
Gary and Patrice

What a shock to just learn of Tricia's being promoted to Glory. I wanted to be sure to tell her that I just got a job. In all her pain and treatments, she prayed for ME and encouraged me. What a loss to your family, to us friends, and ti the music world. I am honored to have been touched by her beautiful spirit. Bless each of you as you face this time of grief.

Tiffany & Family,
Our family is so sorry for your loss. Your mother had a wonderful bubbly personality and clearly displayed her love for the Lord. We especially enjoyed your music ministry when you & Tricia sang at our church (Mt. Pleasant Church of the Brethren) several years ago when you were at Malone with our daughter April. Blessings to you...we are praying for you.

To Leon,

It is so difficult to know what to say because words seem so in adequate. I had the pleasure of meeting Trisha many years ago when you and I worked together at Berean Christian Bookstore. Please know that you are in my prayers. You are not alone... you are in the company of many caring hearts.
