I have lost my best friend. Trish was just a beautiful person. we have laughed and cried together and celebrated our accomplishments, but mostly we laughed. she knew so many household tricks and did her best to teach me. we shared recipes and little cooking tips. I will miss her so much but I know she is with God now and watching over us.
Peace, Prayers and Blessings,
Don, We are so sad to her of Trish’s passing. We know this is a huge void in your life. Having just gone through with these types of events with our oldest son, we can feel your pain. May God Bless, Loren & Barbara Pike
