Pattee, it was Trish that was always there for me when my faith was shaken and I just couldn't find my hope anywhere, and it was she that told me that sometimes we just have to go on blind faith, where we can't see why we are where we are or where we are going, but that was what faith was all about, just trusting and letting ourselves be led. I've never forgotten that, and being able to pass it on to you sort of closes the circle, and I know she'd want me to share her words, and I'm grateful to be able to share them with you.

Pattee;
I can only imagine your level of grief...But, you've seen the tape play all the way through, and you keep doing the next right thing. I can think of no other tribute of your love to Trish...
Shalom!
