I met Trish in 1996 at FIT - we were two 18 year old girls in the big city. We were both in the FBM program and lived in the same dorm - a floor apart. We had an instant connection. I remember when she would walk next to me on the street - she would link my arm in hers. We were each other's "peep" as we called one another. She was a true friend to me. Her warmth and laughter were contagious and everyone who was around her felt it. I was only at FIT for that first semester but Trish and I had stayed in touch periodically, most recently texting in February when I drove though Clinton and thought of her immediately. She was a special person and news of this heartbreaking loss just made it's way though the FIT community only last week. She will never be forgotten by all who loved her. I am a better person for being lucky enough to know her. Sending heartfelt love your way...
Dear Karen, Michael, and all of Trish’s family, please accept my condolences, my love, and my prayers! I was stricken with sadness when I heard Trish’s name shared by Fr Michael at Mass. I am so very sorry! We shared good times as our children progressed through Bethlehem Township Schools together. May God wrap His arms around you and give you the strength you need now and always.
Sending you all much love during this time of sadness. We all were fortunate to have Trish in our lives one way or another. Her memory will always bring a smile to our faces. May you all find some comfort in knowing just how much Trish was loved. Love, Melissa, Heather, Barb and Lou Gargano

I'm so heartbroken....I will miss us meeting again..I remember the first time I met you at my cousin Linda's party in Palm Springs...you came up to me and said, "Deanna. There's a guy following you." I cracked up...I was like your funny thats my husband.. the rest of the night we hung out, smoked outside by the pool and just talked about life. It was as if we knew each other forever. I pray that Jesus has you in his arms and I hope once again when I leave this earth that I see your beautiful smile again...bye my precious and most beautiful friend
I'm absolutely shattered to hear of Tricia's passing. I hadn't seen her since the girls were in high school, but over the years I've often thought of her and all of you. She was a breath of fresh air and sweet to her core.
I hope you will find peace as you mourn her loss.
Warmest regards,
