I remember you well and I'll never forget the party your mother, Betty threw for us after the close of that dreary play, "Lear" by Edward Bond. Trish got me involved in it and we became pretty close friends for awhile til I moved back East. <BR/>I am so saddened by this news. I don't think I've ever known anyone with quite the combination of qualities Trish had: funny, of course, but more than that resilient and with a deep well of sympathy inside for everyone buffetted about by those forces beyond our control -- which is to say just about all of us.<BR/>Last time I saw her was over 20 years ago (her son was still an infant or in early toddlerhood) but I've often thought about her and when I do, she always appears in my mind's eye with that winsome smile on her face. I think you know the one I mean.John Brumfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022670073091244256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741976915308148081.post-77384985166406823882009-01-29T23:01:00.000-08:002009-01-29T23:01:00.000-08:00I don't even remember how I found this blog, but I...I don't even remember how I found this blog, but I've read every entry. I don't even feel like this can be true. I'm immeasurably saddened for the loss of Trish, and I just want to share how much she's meant to me, a random stranger, through her words. I hope at least in some minute way that brings some comfort to her family and friends. You are all in my thoughts.T.
