In Trish’s Memory: Now that I am gone, remember me with a smile and laughter. And if you need to cry, cry with your brother or sister who walks in grief beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give to them what you need to give to me. There are so many who need so much. I want to leave you something, something much better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I’ve known and loved or helped in some special way. Let me live in your heart as well as your mind. You can love me most by letting your love reach out to our loved ones. By embracing them and living in their love. Love does not die, people do. So when all that’s left of me is love, give me away as best you can.
