    Tricia left a deep impression on my life. I remember being in Butte and visiting her . We sat on her bed talking like we knew each other for years! Her pink room. It felt like we were in high-school 😄 I just loved her, she was so much fun.
    Anytime I visited or chatted after that, whether texts or phone, she ALWAYS had a positive attitude. If she complained, it would be short and then she’d go back to being positive, despite what she was going through!!
    Made me think about my attitude, ugh . How I needed her as a friend. I wish I would of called her more often.
    She was an amazing woman. Beautiful inside and out.
    I’m happy for her that she is now re-united with her parents. I know she missed her mother, dearly . I’m pretty sure, even in our last conversation, she talked about her mom.
    I know we are all relieved she is no longer suffering, but, still will be sorely missed.
    My sweet friend Tricia, lots of hugs and love goes out to you. In a little while we will see each other again. ❤
