Dear Jim, Alyssa and family,
We were so sorry to just learn about Trish. She was an inspiration to everyone who met her.
She will always be remembered as one of the kindest people we ever met in our hockey experience and she will truly be missed. I can see her sitting at the rink laughing and telling a story about family, school or just lending her attentive ear to someone else. She was a gem.
Our door is always open whenever you are at 7B.

Where to begin? We prepared about a thousand pounds of corned beef in your kitchen over the last 20 years of South Side Irish parades. Our families have grown up and grown greater together. We've always been too busy to do the things we wanted together, never too busy to stop and catch up. We will hold you close always, your laughter, your kindness, your warmth, your patience, your courage, and mostly the glowing spirit that will never be extinguished. Our journey is grander that you have been a part of it.
