From Patricia's Uncle Tim

Patricia's Uncle Tim left the following in the comments section on Day 1. The post has since been buried in an avalanche of memories, so I have brought it forward for all to share - Kurt

A precious soul and sweet spirit, Trish we'll miss you. Our family is deprived of a beautiful daughter, sister, niece, grand daughter and cousin. Heaven is far better off now.

Separated by the miles, business brought me to Norfolk. We met each other for dinner, although we had not seen each other in years. We searched in vain for a Thai restuarant, without luck and profuse apologies from you. We settled at a Cuban place and spent hours talking. We walked back to my downtown hotel, you showing me the sites and projects of your firm. I remember thinking to myself what a wonderful young woman you grew into; bright, confident and sweet. When told of your engagement I thought, "what a lucky stiff your fiance must be. He better treat you like a queen".

Memories will pour back on future visits to Norfolk, and I will always remember my sweet niece.

God bless you Trish, God bless.

Trish, my beautiful, sweet, gentle niece. I cannot believe we have lost you. I can only hope that you know how much I LOVE YOU! The pain is very deep knowing you are not with us anymore and there will not be any future memories to come. How excited I am that you had found a special man to love with all of your heart. How happy I am that you could experience that love in this life.

"Sis" I feel peace in my heart knowing that you left this world and entered heaven escorted by only the best...BOTH Granfathers.

I love you and miss you.
