Latricia was a blessed soul.  I remember her always having a positive outlook. I came to know her on a couple occasions which will last me a lifetime.  The ability to smile even on challenging days was contagious.  She helped me process my mother's passing . Latricia's faith to share and comfort in a time of need...I will forever cherish.  I will forever have a special bond for your presence in my family's life.

There are no memories. Just so much love. I miss you, I love you so much. If I had to pick a memory it would be the day I gave birth to Eric. You were more freaked out than I was. I hope you hear me taking to you mama. You are so missed. 

There is nothing like a baby sister. She is the one person who understand you ,  is aware of your deepest secrets and best attributes. Trish listened to my venting and was always just a hug away no matter where she was.
Trish was very protective of her family and I will carry her in my heart forever 

My favorite memory is when we dressed alike wearing  all white  outfits for our first day back to junior high school. We were on our way, It had been raining and the ground was wet.  We started running for the bus and in your haste, you fell in a puddle of muddy water in your all white out fit.. The bus driver pulled up and asked if you still wanted to ride the bus .. You waived him off telling him to go head!!. We laughed so hard for what seemed forever!!. We were just talking and laughing about this recently.. We had so much fun together in this life and I'll miss you so much!!

Darnell, Darnisha, Patrice please know that your mother loved you. I know nothing that I say will make this easier for you guys but we Love you. Please know that God is in control and  we as a family are praying for you. 

Darrell, Earlene & Shara we know the pain that you are feeling. Trish and I spoke about all of you guys & the cousins whenever we were together. You have been a part of our family for Forty years plus and this hurts. The pain & love we have for our sister Trish  cannot be measured. The smile she had was infectious and I will miss that. 
                                               God Bless this family


This is a remembrance about a woman that I knew since I was thirteen. She and I became friends from the moment we met, I'm glad we did, she had three children whom she loved so much but it's no surprise to me because of the type of person, woman, lady that she was. She was someone that I got a chance to talk to about any and everything... she as well, we talked to each other with respect, honesty, and truth. I am truly missing talking to her atleast  once or twice a week and I'm gonna miss talking to her. We both came a long way and were proud of one another. "Thank you for your kind open heart" 🙏  one of my stick out memories, well two "we graduated from high school together 1986. (second) my wife and her was pregnant 1995 and they prepared a little surprise for me and I didn't get it for a minute or so" lol it seemed like she was more excited for me then I was for myself. I LOVE YOU! Lady T thank you for my nephew and two nieces. 

I known Letricia for 15 years, we shared every night working at Toys R Us. She was the reason I enjoyed going into work every day. She wasn’t only at boss she was my closest friend. She was always so happy, cannot remember a time she wasn’t smiling, we shared so many memories I’ll never forget. I’m going to miss her very much. She was too young to be taken from this world, but heaven is a happier place with her in it. 

Here is a picture of her in action working at Toys R Us, she hated the picture but I refused to delete it.  Never would have imagined having to share this memory under these circumstances. 💕
