Such a loss to this world! Trish, you were always such a bright star at the end of my night shift. Your smile was so spontaneous and true. You never complained if you had to sort out my computer errors or anything else which was asked of you. An amazing example of what a great colleague we all should be. Sending love to your beautiful family and close friends.
