Tricia was not a social worker at MCQueeney. She was family, and she played an important part in my life. I hope that wherever she is, she can look down and cheer me up with her gift of talent. She was very important to me; she was part of my life, and I love her as a sister, as a mom, and as a friend. She loved her children, and she loved her Mom, and I hope that we don't lose contact so we can be in touch always in memory of Trish.

Trish, you were more than a colleague and friend you were a sister. So many memories are filled with you present. Our hang-gliding, shopping sprees, day trips to name a few will remain with me forever. I miss your daily texts and laughter. I miss you. My condolences to Trish's family. May god hold you all in his comforting arms and provide you strength to get through this time. Many hugs and prayers being sent your way.
