Facebook Tributes

Seeing my friends share Tricia O'Connor memories and remembrance pictures on Facebook brings a tear to my eye. Each image is not just a frozen moment in time but a testament to the beautiful, cherished memories we created with Tricia. It's in these snapshots that I see her infectious smile and feel her warmth. They are a reminder that she's not truly gone; she

Dear Patricia (10-22-23), Thank you for visiting me today. It’s been two weeks since you passed away. The grief has been unbearable at times. I’ve screamed out your name and cried myself to sleep. Our living bond painfully transforms to the ethereal. The reminiscing with friends has been uplifting. The loss of future memories gut wrenching. I guess you heard me and decided to visit. You

Trishie, flags are flying in San Francisco today… they fly for you.  What else could they possibly want or do as they flutter and catch the breeze off The Bay and lead the wind east, from whence you came.   Along the way, grazing the orange edge of sunsets varied in cloud and color, like you, or lifting the dew from early morning sunrises, calling forth

The Legend of DJ Lunch Money. A few years ago, after a night of revelry, Tricia O'Connor and I sat at a campfire. Although we had been friends for years, we really hadn’t had a chance to just sit and talk. As we observed the fire crackle into the night, we talked about life, family, adventures, aspirations, sprinkled with jokes and puns all around. As our conversation drifted

Wise words from our dearest Trishee…Dec 27, 2016; her post popped up in my feed this morning with a message and reminder for us all: “You don’t necessarily get to choose how you die but you can choose how you live.”…..”Were you kind? Generous? Insightful? Did you use whatever talents you were given to better the world, touch heartstrings or inspire other people? Did you
