Our thoughts and prayer go out to your loved ones. Trish was a loving and giving person. Our family will miss her dearly and the joy that she brought to us. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. She was always there for us to talk with, cry with or laugh with. Our lives where truely blessed with her friendship and love. We will miss her more than words can say.

She was so lovely and sweet. I didn't know Trish all that well, but I do know she absolutely adored Brian. Just recently she and Brian had helped me with a flood related issue. They were two of the unsung heroes we've heard about since the flood - the folks who have anonymously helped the flood affected families with no fanfare and expecting nothing in return. I am thankful for the brief time I knew them. God bless them both.

I never met Trisha but heard a lot about her. I just wanted to say she sounds like a wonderful person and I wish I had had the opportunity to met her. Both her and Brian sound like they were meant for each other and were very special caring people. I guess God needed someone real special up in heaven and needed them both up there. They are still together.

Well my friend I am so glad that I got to talk with you Friday morning we even had a discussion about the motorcycle, little did we both know that would be the last time we will talk to each other in person anyway. You told me that you made a pink blanket for Chloe,[My Dog] I know you loved her so much, I told her that Aunt Trish won't be coming by anymore to doggy sit you. We both are going to miss you so much and you know how we felt about Brian you both were my Rock I love you both so much. I know that you both are together forever now.A piece of my heart is missing now, it is with you and Brian.

Tricia I will miss you forever. You were like a sister to me, one of my family and a great friend. You had a smile that lit up the room. This is goodbye for now but someday we will meet again in Heaven. You are finally at peace from all that haunted you in life. You are loved and missed but never forgotten. You were my gemini soul sister and my Bff. Heaven received a beautiful Angel today. From myself my husband and the boys Rest In Peace. We love you big hugs forever.

I am sorry to hear the death of Patricia, My thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this time. I remember shopping at walmart she always had a smile on her face and willing to talk to anyone and help anyone that needed help to find something at walmart. Shopping at walmart wont be the same without her there. She will be missed greatly.

Trish was always such a fun and joyful person to be around at Walmart. She was always there to help others, and a very hard worker. I remember she had a locker up top, that she had a hard time getting into so I offered her my locker because it was at a lower level. She was so thankful and appericative, I am very happy that I was able to help such a wonderful person such as Trish. She we always be in our hearts and missed dearly.

Trish was the sweetest person and she put up with Brian so if you know Brian, then you know what I mean by this comment. she was his angel. She did love him and he loved her. I know Patricia will be missed by all who knew her. I didn't know her as well as I knew Brian, but from what I knew of her, she had a giving spirit and very kind. May God bless them both to rest in peace with each other.

I loved her!! She was sooo Sweet and caring, and always had a smile on her face when she came into work.. When I would leave to go home, I would always stop to chat with her, or even say Hello before I left. She has a good heart, and she's so bubbly all day! When ur feeling down, she knows how to cheer someone up.. U brought so much Cheer into walmart! I will truly miss her, and now that she's still with us in our hearts! God Will take great care of her though! May U Rest In Peace Trish! You'll always be in my thoughts and prayers!

I want to take it upon myself to thank the members of Brian's family..who so graciously made sure that funeral arrangements were made on Trish's behalf...and that she could also have the recognition due her. That was so very kind and thoughtful and I want to thank you for that. She was my Dept Manager and she will be missed by many of her acquaintances at Walmart and elsewhere. I know she is at peace now.

To whom it may concern: I am going to miss seeing that special smile that you always had on your face. When I would see you at your workplace you would be on a ladder putting up or taking down merchandize, and I would say how are you doing good looking and you are finally on a pedistal again. She would always flash that smile and say hi and how are you today. Will miss seeing that pretty face and smile. Sincerely, Gary Clark

Trish: You came into Brian's life 2 1/2 years ago, little did you know that it was going to be a tremdous ride for the both of you, Ric and I got to know you and we loved you instantly, your smile would light up a room your laugh still echo's in my ears. and your face, Oh what a face, I would always kid Brian about how you were his little lost puppy but in reality he was your lost puppy and you always took good care of him and we want to thank-you for that. you leveled him out and got him on a level that no one could. We love and miss you both so very much. Doreen E. Havlik
