I was shocked and saddened to see in The Daily News today that Trish had passed away. I have known Trish for years, we first met when I worked at the hospital years ago and I have talked to her at least weekly for as long as I can remember when I have called the hospital for my current job. Trish was the kindest person. She always answered the phone with a smile on her face, you could tell, it was evident in her voice. I am going to miss her answering the phone at the hospital and I will miss our quick, but nice conversations. Prayers to your family, such a loss. :(
