I have many fond memories of Trish, she was a very important part of my husband's life, my children's lives, as well as mine. I met her at Valley Lo Sports Club where she was the accountant, she was always a cheerful person and a hard worker. I also guess you could say she was one of my husband's best friends, he called her Tuna, it took awhile for me to get that story out of them. My kids always looked forward to her visits and her Christmas cookies! She is one of the first people that got to babysit my daughter MacKenzie, they have kept in touch over the years and that l'm grateful for. She also was a speaker at their father's memorial, he would have cherished every word she spoke. May you rest in peace Trish, Pluto is up there somewhere waiting to give you a big Hug...xxoo Tina Chapman
