Tributes

Trish you were such a beautiful example of what a daughter of God looked liked. The beauty that came from you, was more than I think you ever knew.. but may He, have the delight and joy of blessing you for every moment of faithfulness, gentleness, kindness, steadiness, and endurance. Eyes filled with tears, yet with joy at the same time, knowing your race is run, and it is your turn to go and be with your Lord and King - the best day of all the days - finally seeing Him face to face! I wish only joy for you, and freedom! Well done - you left me only saying, 'well done good and faithful servant' xxx

Forever in our hearts Mum, Growing up, you taught us compassion, grace, dedication and kindness all displayed with a dash of humour. Values that we have continued with my family. We don’t farewell you, as your memory will stay with us forever – a piece of you always in our hearts. We love you and we celebrate your life well lived. Lord, if roses grow in Heaven, Pick a bunch for me. Place them in Mums arms And tell her they’re from me. With love, Ken, Narelle and Kiara

Trish and Brian were a very lovely, friendly and hard working part of our Square Dance Club. Trish loved to dance and always helped wherever she could, and always with a smile on her face. We sure missed Trish when they moved away, but then surprised us all when Brian came back to dance and Trish came along when she could. Rest in Peace Trish. My Thought and prayers are with you Brian and family.
