Trish was a caring, loving and devoted wife and mother. The greatest joy of her life was being the mom to Julia and Jessi. Her daughters and husband loved and adored her. She was also the best Big Sis that a Little Sis and Little Bub could ever ask for and was loved bunches. Trish was not just a mother, wife and sister, but a friend to us all. Her family was her whole world. We were all blessed to have such a beautiful soul in our lives. With a generous heart, she was beautiful both inside and out. She was strong, caring and selfless, always being sure to put others first. A woman of great faith, Trish believed in a life after death. Trish was loved very much and will greatly be missed by so many. It saddens us all to say goodbye but it's only to the flesh. Someone so beautiful could never really be gone, but forever live on in our hearts, minds, and souls with a never-ending love and respect. So to Trish, we say thank you for making us feel loved and our hearts happy. May you have an everlasting peace that only the Father can give, you have earned it. We love you bunches. Forever yours -Bud, Cupcake, Kit Kat, Little Bub, and Little Sis.
