I just wanted to let you know that I think of you often!
The past few weeks, I always have a feeling someone is on the room with me, or passing by....I know it is you letting me know you are watching over me!
I FINALLY got married on April 1st...very fitting for me and Brian!

To your family, wanted to let you know I think if you often as well. And we are always praying for you.

Trish,

I was randomly thinking about you the other day. I was thinking about the time that we ran into each other on the 59. I remember you mentioning that you worked at Dave & Buster's and this lead me to another random thought..one of my former co-workers used to work at Dave & Buster's. So I asked him if he knew you and he said yes. I then asked if he was still contact with you and that's when he told me the terrible news. That's what brought me here. The world is a sadder place without your smiling face and warm heart. And please know that you made a lasting impression on everyone that was lucky enough to have known you. Please look out for me old friend.

To the O'Connell's- I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking care of me like I was one of your own so many years ago.

I just stopped by the guest book to read any new additions.

Karen, your question about the pizza made me laugh.

I can tell you Trish always gave me a run for my money when it came to a Tacconelli's Pizza.

We all need to get together and have some Tacco's and laugh together!

Trish I miss you tons, and think of you every day!

Hello friends and family! I just read the last post and I needed to add to it. A few weekends ago I was down the shore with a few of my favorite O'Connell's and Trisha was with all of us. And the same burning question came up that needs an answer, who can eat more pizza? I just don't know Trish...? So though we are sad you are not here with us, rest assured that even the little silly things still make us all laugh. We all miss you Trish but we know you are always there bringing smiles!

Dear Tricia -

This whole past week we have been thinking more and more about you. The boys have been remembering the special times they had this time every year with you and the family in Ocean City and they will always cherish those memories. We all miss you and your beautiful smile.

Yesterday I prayed for my friend Trish, I think of you so often. I feel as though you can hear me when I do pray, and I do think Trish is an angel. I miss you very much Trish, you are in my thoughts and actions daily. I miss our friendship and our conversations over lunch. You were a dear friend to me and you surely will not be forgotten.

To the O'Connell's I just wanted to let you know your family is in my thoughts and prayers today! I think of Tricia everyday, I have pictures of her on my Dresser and my Daughter Kayla always asks about her and I always tell her how great of a person Tricia was and how much I miss her! They say when someone passes they turn into a guardian angel and I feel she is Mikey's angel she passed away on his first B-day! I cant believe it has been a year already! Please if you need anything or just want to talk please feel free to contact me! I love you guys like you were my own family! God Bless you and your family!

Love Nancy, Mike, Kayla and Mikey Jr.

Today the entire O'Connell family is in my thoughts and prayers.

All the WONDERFUL memories of Trish will get me through this day.

I think of her often. My daughter, Allyson, has a laugh that reminds me of Trish's SO much. And it makes me happy to hear it! I know that she is watching over Allyson with the rest of the children she loved!

You are very missed, Trish!

I love ya!

It's almost one whole year since I lost my very dear friend Tricia. I miss her very much she has to see her god son, Jason, he's going into 3rd grade with A's & B's. She would be proud. Every time I have a quiet moment I think of her. Just remember I love you Tricia and all of the O'Connell family.

It'b been awile since I sighned this guest book but Trish has been on my mid alot this last week. I have a picture of the Twin Towers I took while I was in NY that I blew up to an 8by10. I have Trish's silk bag with her memoribila (that Mrs. O was so kind to give Christina & I) placed right next to it, cuz, as we all know, that was her dream place to live and teach! I think just dropping a line to say hello to Trish and the family was the little therapy I needed for the night. I think of Trish and her family often. I can now smile a lot more about Trish when I think of her, I hope you guys can to.

Love you all!

I don't know guys but call me crazy..... I think Trish has just a little bit to do with the Eagles making it to the big game. She has too many family members and friends who love the birds and she is a big fan too. My guess is she pulled a couple strings to get us all in one place....let's goo birds...for Trish. Miss you girl...thanks

Kelly Andrews

January 5, 2005

I think about you all the time Trish mainly because you were such a close friend to me and so very quickly. We became very close friends at the credit union, and when I had mentioned to you that I thought about becomming a teacher, which was a passion you also shared, you helped me to reach my goal. There is not a day that goes by that I am not reminded of you, as I am a teacher today. I am so grateful to have met such a wonderful person and when the days get rough in the classroom, I wonder "what would Trish do?" You were a gift to me and I miss you so much.

December 31, 2004

When we first heard about Tricia we all felt devastated by the loss and the magnitude of sadness you all must feel. I can only share with you how we felt about Tricia and we all felt we were so lucky to have had her touch our lives. I had the privelage of being her aunt through marriage and the boys were blessed to have such a sweet, loving and thoughtful cousin. I will always remember her kind and gentle spirit and the way her bright smile made her eyes crinkle at the corners. She was truly an angel! All of you and Tricia are in our thoughts this holiday. We will never forget her and we all loved her very much.

Fly, fly little wing

Fly beyond imagining

The softest cloud, the whitest dove

Upon the wind of heaven's love

Past the planets and the stars

Leave this lonely world of ours

Escape the sorrow and the pain

And fly again

Fly, fly precious one

Your endless journey has begun

Take your gentle happiness

Far too beautiful for this

Cross over to the other shore

There is peace forevermore

But hold this mem'ry bittersweet

Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear

Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear

Your heart is pure, your soul is free

Be on your way, don't wait for me

Above the universe you'll climb

On beyond the hands of time

The moon will rise, the sun will set

But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing

Fly where only angels sing

Fly away, the time is right

Go now, find the light

I miss and think about you everyday!

Hey Trish,just wanted to let you know I think of you almost everyday.Anyone who got the chance to know was truly blessed.My best memory is of you sitting in a pool float in the pool on Loretto Ave.,drinking a soda and laughing with Kelly and Sean.Even though you disagreed with me you were so much like the girl Jamie from one of my favorite books "A Walk To Remember"so gentle and caring.I'll keep your spirit with me always.Make sure you and Sean watch over each other.Love always,Rose

My name is Hartman as Tricia like to call me and I got the great privilege of being one of her many friends in high school. She was one of the sweetest and most honest people I've ever had the joy of knowing! I will miss her a lot, and I will keep her always in my heart and in my prayers!

Michelle McKeen

June 25, 2004

Where to start? To the family, I am so sorry for your loss and I know there are no words to take away your pain, only time will do that. I loved Tricia as a sister, she was one of my best friends.

I remember our last conversation she said to me, as she usually would, "why do you have to be so far away?" I've been asking her that for the past couple weeks... I've heard before that there are Angels on earth, and I believe that. I truley believe Tricia was an Angel sent to each of us to teach us what we needed to learn. I've never met someone with such an open heart, willing to accept you for who you are. Willing to help you without a second thought, it was like her calling. She just knew how to brighten your day & make you smile, even if you thought you couldn't, she had a very special gift.

"...who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim? no matter what you say it wont take away the pain that I feel inside...will it ever make sense, somebodies got to know, theres got to be more to life than this, theres got to be more to everything than I thought exists." A phrase from a song that I keep playing in my head. I dont think we can make sense why Tricia was taken from us but I do believe theres more to life than this plane. Tricia is living a new life, one where she can do all she wanted to do in this one. One where she can continue to be the Angel that she was on earth. One where she can see and watch over all of us and all those other people in the world who need her touch. I know she doesnt want to see me shed the tears I do every day for her, so I try to Smile, because I know thats she wants for me and for everyone she made smile every day of her life. I also know if I close my eyes, shes not that far away...

Tricia, I love you, miss you and cant wait to see you again!

"Trash",
I want to wish you a Happy 25th Birthday. I know that you, Sean, and Joey are probably having a great, big party, which most likely beats the A.C. trip we were going to plan. Not one day goes by that I do not think of the pain that your family is feeling. I hope the great memories that they have of you can console them on this difficult day. "Trash" you are greatly missed by everyone and will remain in all of our hearts forever.

Love,&l t;br>"Crash"

To the O'Connell Family

I want you all to know how sorry I am for you loss and I am keeping you all in my prayers. Your family has been a part of my life for years and I always thought of you as my second family. I know I have not been around that much anymore but I have not forgotten about any of you especially Tricia. She was like a sister to me. I have so many good memories of her that will always be in my heart. She was such a happy person and I wish there were more people out there like her. My family and I are here if you need anything especially you kelly. This is a time when we all need to be there for each other.

Love you all,

Nichole

My main contact with the computer has been an occassional dusting. When Ryan and Jen were in the Peace Corps, I thought it was convenient, as soon as they came home that was the end of that. Never could I have imagined that a Guest Book entry would be such a source of comfort to us. We see Tricia through the eyes of others and it's a perfect view. You are so kind to take the time out of your busy days to send a word of kindness to us.

Thank You,

Mrs. O and family

To the O'Connell Family,

I want you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your family has been a big part of my life in the past. I have known all of you for a very long time and you have all touched my life in one way or another, including Tricia. I don't think I rarely ever saw her without a smile on her face, especially when I used to see her on her walks to Sunoco or Eckerd. She will be remembered in my heart forever. To Kelly, I know we have grown apart throughout the years but always know that I am here for you whenever you need me. Your family helped me through my tough time and I am here to help you through yours. Don't ever forget that. I love you all.

Love,

Tammy

To "Trasha" and the O'Connell Family:

Many of us that grew up on Loretto Ave. know what it is like to have great neighbors that are like family members. And with those neighbors come so many memories. I am greatly honored that I had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people in my life and to share all those memories with. It is really great to have best friends that have been with you since childhood. "Trasha" you were truly a great friend and I will always remember you in my heart. "Trasha" was a great teacher, teaching us what matters most in our lives, our family and friends. To the O'Connell family may the memories that you share with Tricia and her great smile, looking down upon us, help deal with the pain that you are feeling. "Trasha" until we meet again, you will be greatly missed and never forgotten in our hearts.

Love you all,

"Crashten"

I met and worked with Trish at Dave and Buster's for many years. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face and a kiss hello for me. I also know Jamie and Kelly (Green) through D&B. I cannot say enough about this brother and sister team...obviously raised by a very caring family. I am happy and privelaged to know these people. Trish will be missed by many, but we have MANY memories to hold onto. See you guys at Taconell's on the 22d.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone.

Words are not enough to express the sadness that we all feel with Tricia's loss and the pain we share with the O'Connells - an amazing family that I feel honoured to know and love.

Tricia never made it over to see Ireland with me but now she has a birds-eye view, I get to share it with her every day.

All I can say to my little American sister is BFF. xxx

I came across a familiar name after looking through the obituary to find the name of someone else whose funeral I will soon be attending. I saw Patricia's name and thought "I remember a girl with that name". Not thinking it was the same person, I looked up her name. In shock, I realized it was an old classmate who I used to play the flute with and graduated with from Little Flower. I remember Tricia as being a sweet and funny person. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish your family all of the best and will keep all of you as well as her in my thoughts and prayers.

Tricia was a very special person, she brought a light into a room EVERY time she entered!

I consider myself lucky for just knowing Tricia.

Mr & Mrs O, Your daughter was truly an amazing person.

Tacconelli's will never be the same.

June 4, 2004

Trisha and I worked together for many years and throughout that time we shared many things. Including a very special little boy, Jamie. We had both left that job for other endeavors but I always counted on seeing Trisha at family gatherings and always was happy to see an E-mail from her.

It was about 3 weeks ago when I was getting off the Broad Street Line when I heard someone calling my name. I never run into any one I know so I did not turn around at first. When I heard my name again I turned around to see if it was someone I knew. And in true Trisha form, hands on her hip, school bag on her back she waved me down. We spoke in a hurry and promised to talk more later. Then she gave me a hug and a smile and we went our own seperate ways. When I got into my ofice, I E-mailed her right away. She really made my morning. I was so happy to see her, and surprised, too!

The reason I felt so pressed to share this was because as we remember our friend it is important to keep in mind that Trisha is a teacher. She taught me a very valuable lesson that day and I want to share it with you...despite the hurry that you may be in or the destractions you may have, taking a moment to share a smile with someone you care about is more valuable than any thing I could think of.

Trisha was always armed with a smile and a hug and she was not afraid to use it!!! It was just her way. Her laughter and smile could brighten up anyone's bad mood. I can't tell you how many times I have seen her reach out to others with a true warmness, and that...can never be duplicated!

As she passed by on that train, how could I have ever known that would be the last time I would be able to hug her? But I am so thankful that that is my lasting memory of my dear friend. Her smiling at me... Thank you Trisha for all that you gave to me and your friends.

To the O'Connell family, there are no words for the terrible loss you must feel. Know that my family's prayers and thoughts are with you.

~May God be with you

To the O'Connell family this is a very difficult time. Tricia was a great person anyone who met her knew that. I know there are no words to ease your pain. I feel like we just been through this with Sean. I know when she arrived in heaven Sean was waiting there for her.

I remember all the fun we had together on Loretto ave. barbie dolls, block parties, king of the mountain, snow ball fights. I have so many memories of us growing up together and I will never forget them.

Kelly if you need someone to talk to I'm here for you. Losing a sibling feels like losing a part of yourself. I know the pain is never going to go away but we have such great memories of Tricia.

Love

Hello my name is Jessica Roberts. My sisters Brittany, Channey and I are friends of Jamie's from grade school and high school. I am so sorry to hear about Tricia. She was so sweet. Everytime I bumped into her in the neighborhood she would always stop to talk and inquire about my family. She always wore a beautiful smile that made you feel so good when you talked to her. My deepest condolences and prayers to the O'Connell family. If there is anything we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask. Jessica Roberts and Patty, Brittany, Channey and Chelsea Roberts

Words just cannot express the sadness at losing such a vibrant, beautiful & intelligent young woman. I've know Trish for several years and though we no longer saw each other daily, we stayed in touch through email. She was so loving, never holding back her emotions or feelings. She embraced life and life embraced her. You always knew what she was thinking, because she wasn't afraid to tell you how much she cared. She made it so easy to be around her. I'll miss her smile, the way she laughed, her enthusiasm when talking about Blackthorne, her fierce loyalty to friends & family, her sensitivity & sincerety, her genius at math and the way she always talked lovingly and with pride about her family and new nephew whom she loved so very much. I am happy for her but sorry for us, for she has left a void in the hearts & lives she touched, that can only be filled now with the wonderful memories we have all made with her. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to know her, to work with her and to tell her all the wonderful things I thought about her. I promise to have her live on by telling stories and sharing photos of her to others and remembering her in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincerest sympathy to her family...

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I worked with Kelly at Federman and Phelan and I understand the pain that you are going through. My only sister died 3 years ago. It is the worst thing to go through in dealing with such a loss and we will never know why God had to take them away. Life just isn't fair and there is nothing we can do about it. Kelly I am here for you if you need me. Its going to be hard but we can get through it together. My prayers are with the family and God give them strength over the next few days.

I have known Tricia since our Freshamn year in High School. I have so many memories with her. In High school we had a lot of fun, also outside of school. We spent our Senior Week together. We went through alot of good and bad times including the birth of her godson, the death of a fellow classmate. Tricia was the Mother Hen of all of us she kept us straight when we asked for help. Tricia was a wonderful person and will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to her family. She will always be remembered in our hearts.

HELLO MY NAME IS KELLY ANDREWS AND I WAS A FRIEND OF TRICIA'S THROUGH THE POLICE AND FIRE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. WE ARE ALL VERY SAD TO HEAR OF TRICIA'S PASSING AND MORE THAN ANYTHING WILL MISS THE PERSON THAT TRICIA WAS. SHE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN AN AMAZING PERSON IN MY MEMORY. SHE WAS A GENUINE PERSON WHO COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH AND SMILE EVEN WHEN YOU WERE DOWN. ALTHOUGH I ONLY KNEW TRICIA FOR ABOUT 4 OR 5 MONTHS SHE WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO ALWAYS MADE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE TO JUST BE YOURSELF. I FEEL HONORED TO HAVE KNOWN HER IF EVEN FOR A SHORT WHILE, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE HER IN MY LIFE.

SINCERELY,

KELLY M. ANDREWS
