  1. I met Tricia not long after I arrived in Australia, and from the very beginning, she welcomed me with such warmth and kindness. She was always there for me whenever I needed her. Her beautiful smile, kind heart, and sparkling eyes will be deeply missed.

    Rest in peace, beautiful lady. My deepest condolences to the family during this heartbreaking time. May they find comfort in the love and memories you leave behind.

    With lots of love,
    Malu

  5. Many companionable hours were spent stitching, talking in Tricia's company and enjoying her gracious hospitality. Her kindness and warmth made the move to Bendigo so much easier for our family and son Toby. Warm wishes to Nick, Sam, Ewan and their families. Tricia will be missed and remembered.

  6. 20 November 1967. Barts School of Nursing.
    We met on day one locked up in the Hertfordshire countryside for initial training.Queen Mary`s Nurses home came next and we were let loose on the wards.After a year our little band moved to the relative freedom of Bryanston Sq. before sharing flat life. Post qualification we all scattered across the globe but miraculously stayed in touch over the years and met most recently for our set reunion and the Barts 900th anniversery.
    Rest in Peace dear friend,
