Remembering Dear Trish as another year passes by.

You are not forgotten, nor will you ever be, as long as life and memory last we will remember thee.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore. As time goes by we'll miss you more.

Your loving smile, your gentle face...no one can fill your vacant space.

Thinking of you always,

Love Lisa and Randy

Remembering our dear,dear,friend Trish





Some people come into our lives and quickly go, ...Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts,and we are never the same.. Unknown



Always thinking of our times together...



The worlds greatest treasure is the small, simple pleasure of spending our time with good friends. Amidst laughter and tears we are bound through the years, by a loyalty that never ends...

Unknown



And..



Friend s are angels who lift our feet when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly..

Unknown



Lovingly remembered & admired today and always.

All our love Glenda and Susie

Today is Dec 29 2003. Trish I would like to take this time to wish You a Merry Xmas and I wish you never had to leave us. My new years wish is that their will be breakthrews on the illness you had and on any other ones people suffer with. Trish years may pass but your memory never leaves us. People seem to always want what they dont have and forget to appreciate what we have already. I would like to ask people to take time today and stop and realize what you have and be thankful for it, because tommorow that wonderful thing we are thankful for just might not be here. Trish I would also like to tell you I had the opportunity to spend xmas with you family. Tony is doing a blessed job of raising your children and they are growing up to be very special not to mention fun and a hoot to be around. Tony and Glenda have kept your memory alive and they are a wonderful family but you know that already. To you and your family please know that whether here or on the other side you are always with us. Merry Xmas Trish. We love and miss you!!!!!

As the days seem to come and go it is hard to believe two years has passed. We miss you dearly Trish and your always thought of without a doubt. We must believe that God has reasons and purposes for everything he does and we must trust in him. Thank you for being Ashley and Danielles godmother and mostly thankyou for giving my brother many years of memories,happiness and joy. Your spirit will live on through your three beautiful children, Ryan, Chelsea and Missy (Mellissa). May their futures be guided threw your memories of love. As lives must go on there are cherished memories to remember. The doors to heaven opened and welcomed a treasure. God Bless and anyone who ever had the priveledge to know you was a blessing. I know you will always be here in spirit and watch over and protect what once was yours. "We should take a moment each day to appreciate and be thankful for what we have and not what we don't"

We love and miss you

Dear Tony and Family,

It's been two years since the loss of "Trish", but the memories will

last forever. Her "Legacy" will be

always there, through you, the kids,

family and friends. "She will not be

forgotten". However Tony, you and I

both know now, no matter what, life

must go on. Time is very important,

and we must not waste any of it! I

know that "Uncle Punkey" would tell

us that, and with no doubt, so would

"Trish", as they watch over us all.

"GOD BLESS" Love Aunty Donna

It's been two years since you've

been gone,

But in our hearts you still live on,

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing is the same,

We mention your name,

And speak of you often,

God bless you ....

You are not forgotten



You are always in our thoughts. We will never forget you.

Two years have come and gone, but thoughts of Dear Trish are never far.

IN OUR HEARTS WE THOUGHT OF YOU WITH LOVE TODAY, BUT THAT IS NOTHING NEW.

WE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU YESTERDAY, AND DAYS BEFORE THAT TOO.

WE THINK OF YOU IN SILENCE. WE OFTEN SPEAK YOUR NAME.

NOW ALL WE HAVE IS MEMORIES...

YOUR MEMORY IS OUR KEEPSAKE, WITH WHICH WE'LL NEVER PART.

GOD HAS YOU IN HIS KEEPING, AND WE HAVE YOU IN OUR HEART.

Love forever Lisa and Randy

Trish McIvor April 22/66 - Feb 4/01



We thought of you with love today

But that is nothing new

We thought about you yesterday

And days before that too

So many things have happened,

TRISH,

Since you were called away,

so many things we could have shared

Had you been here today.

IF love could have saved you,

TRISH

You never would have died,

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

If we could have a life time wish

A dream that could come true,

We'd pray to God with all our hearts

For yesterday and you.

The Priceless Gift

The priceless gift of life is love,

For with the help of God above

Love can change the human race

And make this world a better place—

For love dissolves all hate and fear

And makes our vision bright and clear

So we can see and rise above

Our pettiness on wings of love.



Trish not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You will never go unforgotten. You touched so many peoples lives. I am so honored to call you a friend. Now as time goes on we can see you in your kids eyes. To Tony, Ryan, Chelsea and Missy remember all the support you have out there, a true friend always Lisa

Tony,

I was one of Trish's clients and loved going to see her. I used to go get my hair cut or colored so often just because she was a person I just loved being around. I miss her laugh and the conversations we had. I still haven't found the perfect stylist and probably never find one that was a great as your Trish. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children.

A Tribute to my friend Trish - my cherished friend of more than 20 years.



I am very fortunate and thankful to have had Trish as my friend. The joy she has brought to my life is a blessing beyond compare. We shared many life experiences, always supporting each other along the way.



Many words can describe Trish. I have chosen a few to share: Loyal, honest, generous, kind, loving, fun, bright, positive, supportive, energetic, witty, artistic, beautiful, compassionate, courageous and determined. A true inspiration to me!



I have included two poems in this legacy. The first one dedicated to Trish, titled "To My Friend". The second poem, titled "Don't Quit" Trish often referred to, and kept a copy on her fridge. I submit two versions of this poem.



To My Friend



I'd like to be the kind of friend

That you have been to me;

I'd like to be the special help

That you've been glad to be.

I know I'm blessed for only God

Can make a friend like you;

You know just how to cheer me up

Whenever I feel blue.

Could I but have one wish fulfilled,

This one only would it be-

I'd like to be the kind of friend

You've always been to me.

Don't Quit



Don't quit when the tide is lowest,

For it's just about to turn;

Don't quit over doubts and questions

For there's something you may learn.



Don't quit when the night is darkest,

For it's just a while 'til dawn;

Don't quit when you've run the farthest,

For the race is almost won.



Don't quit when the hill is steepest,

For your goal is almost nigh;

Don't quit, for you're not a failure

Until you fail to try.

Jim Wolf



Don't Quit



When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit...

Rest if you must-but don't you quit.



Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems afar,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit...

It's when things go wrong,

That you mustn't quit.



I love you Trish. I promise to always be there for your family.



Love Glenda

Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes,or the way you brightened each day, or your smile which is etched in our memories so youre never far away. Could we ever forget those priceless moments the answer of course is never, for you were part of our lives for a time but you'll be in our hearts forever.

To one of the best friends ever, love and miss you Trish.



Tony, Ryan ,chelsea and Missy,

We hope you know we are here for you all and remember

You can never be truly seperated from the ones you love, they remain in your memories like precious works of art. Kept not in a museum but deep within the heart.

Love always

She was full of life and always had a mischieveous smile for everyone.For such a young Mom and a person that added so much :life" to life it is a tragedy to lose her. My prayers are with all of you.

Trish always made haircuts such fun for Katelyn. She said Katelyn reminded her of her own Chelsea. We loved her for making us feel special during our appointments. Our deep and sincere condolences to Tony and the kids whom she talked about alot. We can't begin to understand your pain but pray for God's comfort to surround you.
