My memories of "Trisha" go back to when I was young. She is the oldest cousin on my Daddy's side of the family. She was always sweet, kind and caring to me as far back as I can remember. After my Mother passed away, we became more close and talked more by phone. She was always there for me. We shared a lot of things she remembered about my family. She loved my parents. She was very excited as a young girl when my Daddy sent her a bicycle from overseas. A big truck came to her parents house and they couldn't imagine what it was...and there it was .....a brand new bicycle for "Trisha". My Daddy had sent it to her from overseas for her Christmas. She was so happy. I will always remember that story...and she's told it to her children as well. We shared a lot of memories of my parents and of me growing up. Trisha was always there to listen and to comfort me when I needed her. I attended her wedding and she was a beautiful bride and she was still a beautiful person all her life. She was loving, caring, pretty, confident, and loving of her family. I know she loved me and I loved her with all my heart. I knew I could talk with her and it would never go any further. She was there for me through a lot of trials in my life, especially after I lost my Mother. She just had a way about her that was very loving and comforting. We laughed a lot and she shared her love of her children and grandchildren. She shared growing up with my Aunt Violet and my Grandmother and told me things about them I never knew. Trisha was one of my favorite people ever in my life. I will miss her with all my heart and soul. A part of me is missing. She was so special. I prayed for her when she first got sick and I know now that she is in a better place and she is an Angel watching over all of us in her family. There is a void in my life, but I know with prayer, that void will be filled with my every lasting memories of Trisha and all our talks, our laughs and some of my tears. May our Heavenly Father watch over her family and friends and know that she was my special cousin, and she was my special friend. There was nothing I could not talk with her about. She was just so kind, loving and I know she loved me. That was so important and special and I will always carry that on in my life. She was a "one of a kind" person. I don't think she ever met anyone she didn't have a special smile for. I'll end this in saying, bless you Jim, bless you Jennifer and Matt and all her grandchildren. May you also carry on the special memories and kindness of Trisha. Smile and think of her. And she will be smiling that precious smile from Heaven at all of us. My dear cousin and my special friend - I love and miss you "TRISHA". Pamelia Kay Dawson
