I was so so saddened to hear that my dear friend Trish had passed away.

Trish and I became great friends in Jr. High. We lived around the corner from each other in Mesa Verde...double dated for prom night...got our first high heeled shoes together(I have endless hours of 8mm film of us walking down the street learning how to walk in those things)...learned how to drive at my Auntie's place in Salton Sea (she crashed my Auntie's car...put it in forward instead of reverse). My Auntie never said a word. She loved Trish too.

My Dad called Trish his second daughter. We were complete opposites. She had alabaster skin with long dark brown hair. She was exotic and mysterious, even at such a young age. Gloria Gunn, Wendy Griffin, Trish and I shared our love stories and heartaches. Her major goal in life was to become a good mother...which she accomplished in spades. Trish felt motherhood was the most important calling in life.

Trish was the first girl I knew to get a "dry-cleaning only" bathing suit. As I would come out of the water from the 17th Street pier soaked, sandy and in great need of a hairbrush, Trish would be sitting regally on the shore line, surrounded by boys/men of all ages. She was an elegant, stylish woman-girl. She was also a sincerely loyal friend. Trisha had one child, Lisa. Trish also greatly admired her younger sister, Cindy Hoyt.

Cancer takes too many wonderful people. Trish was 36 when she died.

I miss her.

Thanks for that Margie. Trish was a great friend to me and the most beautiful (inside and out) girl I ever knew. gg
